Today, after spending time with my daughter and painting her nails she gives me a hug and says, "Mommy I love you, but I love daddy much better!" FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my daughter ran up to a librarian working in the kids section and screamed "MOMMY!" and hugged her. She looked at her and said "I'm not your mommy." My daughters reply: "I know. But you're better than mommy" FML
Today, my daughter told me that she liked her "other daddy" better. I don't know who's she talking about, but my wife is doing a good job telling her to be quiet. FML
Today, as I was picking up my 7 year-old daughter at my ex-husband's house, my daughter started crying saying that she wanted to stay with Daddy forever. I asked why. She said her stepmom was a better mommy. Apparently, the woman who broke up my marriage is now a better "Mommy." FML
Today, I explained to my 5 year old daughter that her older sister from my husband's first marriage lives with her mommy, and my daughter lives with us. She exclaimed, "It's not fair! I want two mommies like she has! Can we swap, I like her mommy better than you anyway!" FML
Today, I realized my mom tells our dogs she loves them more than she says it to me. FML
Today, as I was taking my three year-old daughter home from daycare, she asked where her daddy was. I tried to tell her that I was her father, but she answered, "No, not you! My other daddy!" I've got some talking to do tonight. FML
Today, I have been teaching my 5 year-old step-daughter how to read and write. She came bounding up to me with a piece of paper and said, "look what I did". It was a letter that said "My dad misses my real mommy, not you". FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her a lot. Her reply? "Thanks." FML
Today, I'm starting to realize my wife's baby loves me more than my wife. FML
Today, my daughter asked me to hug her and tell her I love her, like I "always used to", because she “misses it.” She’s 25 years-old and acts like a little baby. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

LOL, but psychologically speaking, Freud hypothesized that children enter the Phallic stage (around ages 3-6) and it states that all boys have an Oedipus complex (mother complex) while girls have Electra complex (father complex). However, these impulses generate fear in them, so their superego (part of psychological makeup that quickly judges and punishes). So, to cope with this, they go though Identification which makes them ally with the same-sex parent by taking on that parent's behavior and attitudes because they acknowledge that they can't replace their same-sex parent and exaggerate the male or female role.

I'm sorry that you had to her that but i wouldn't dwell on it. Kids change their minds all the time and maybe at the moment that was just how she felt. But tomorrow you might be het favorite. Just don't worry about it and continue to be the best parent you can be. :)

sorry messed up the middle. the superego causes the boys to generate a fascination for stuff like superheros, guns, martial arts while girls like dolls, dresses and makeup. It is also a response the the child's unconscious complexes an the guilt and fear of the hidden complexes lead to identification. Sorry
