The great replacement

By mommy - 18/04/2014 02:31 - United States - North Andover

Today, my ex-husband came to pick up our two kids for his weekend with them. Seeing his new girlfriend was in the car, and desperate for conversation, I asked her name. My kids unhesitatingly blurted out, "Mom". FML

Damn, OP. This really sucks! That's not cool that your ex and his girlfriend are having the kids call her that especially if their relationship is still so new.

Youch! I'm sorry... At least they're taking the divorce well. Because the main focus NOW should be on the children's well being... but stillll! FYL

You should call some random kid, "son" in front of your children for payback. Haha just kidding, that sucks.

As long as she treats the kids with kindness and respect , that is the main thing. I know it must suck for you to find out your kids may think of her in a motherly fashion But hopefully you will find a new romantic relationship too

I agree to an extent. I'm glad the kids are taking it well... also possibility the OP is a witch

Sorry that came off a little harsh.... but you have to keep the perspective open. The OP could very well be an abusive or just a not very nice mother... people can be very deceptive my mother in law is a freakin witch but at first she comes off as a totally nice person

It's very wrong and confusing for the children if they are calling her mom already. If the relationship ends, there will be more "moms" to come and that is hard for a child to deal with or understand that the "moms" keeping coming in and out of the picture. There shouldn't be another "mom" in their life until she is more than a girlfriend. My son did not call my husband (his step-dad) "dad" until after we were married; and even then he started doing it on his own, we didn't tell him to.

OP I'm sorry :( that must have been hard to hear. Maybe have a small civilised chat with your ex and see if they can try and put a stop to it? But as said in previous comments maybe it was an accident :)

Obviously it was painful hearing that from your own kids, but I frankly believe that you were a good mother to them. You didn't deserve that.

How do you know she's not? Idiot. It's more likely she's a good mother than a bad one. Why assume the worst?

Sometimes it is better not to make a big deal about things like this. Those kids are in the middle of a divorce which is never easy. Just let it go. In the greater scheme of things it is insignificant and the OP should be secure in the knowledge that she is their real mom.

Wow OP, that must've made your heart sink :( I know I'd probably die a little inside if that ever happened to me. However, I'm sure they know that you're their one true mum and that no other woman will ever take your place. Maybe have a word to your ex husband if you feel uncomfortable about it.
