Today, I learned my 40 year old father is marrying a girl barely a year and a half older than me. She told me not to be afraid to call her mom. I was torn between punching her in the face and vomiting. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my father asked my best friend to marry him. He's 38 and we're 18. She said yes. FML
Today, I discovered that my father is getting married. Overjoyed and confused because I didn't know he was dating, I called him up to congratulate him, and ask who she was. Apparently, his soon to be fiancée is my mother-in-law. My wife is not happy. FML
Today, I was forced to sit silently through my 20-year-old daughter's wedding to a man who is 8 years older than I am. FML
Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML
Today, my dad married his fiancée, who insists I call her "Mom." I'm three years older than her, and went to the same high school. She's taking me shopping next week to buy me "something nice." FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, I found out my newly-divorced father is now going to marry my girlfriend's mother. Tough situation here. FML
Today, my dad is getting married for the 4th time. First it was my mom, then as they got older, he married a woman 10 years his junior, then his third wife was my age and 28 years his junior. Now at the grand old age of 64, he is marrying a 22 year old, 42 years his junior, almost 2 decades younger than me. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who's a bit older than me, introduced me to his daughter. I was expecting a toddler. Nope, she's a year older than me. FML
Today, my dad's new wife, who is two years younger than me (I'm 24) and hates that I'm a lesbian, threw a fit when I told her that I would never call her Mom. My dad took her side. I don't live with them but still… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Punch her and then tell off your dad

Honestly, the fact that she told you that you shouldn't be afraid to call her Mom kind of implies that she thinks she's a lot more mature than you are. Now, the fact that she thinks so and STILL says something stupid like that clearly shows she is NOT all that mature (and/or smart...). Punching won't solve anything and your dad would probably be on her side. You could a) make her do stuff a mom would usually do, like give you extra money, pay for clothes and stuff and be all passive agressive about it or b) let her (and maybe your dad) know that you think the situation is rather rediculous and you think there should be some boundaries. Anyway, good luck and FYL.

Hah! Perfect revenge for such a stupid thing to say.

Yay, one sensible comment around here! :smooch: All in all, no one should ever expect to be called mom/dad, if the age difference does not correspond to this. FYL, OP, but violence solves nothing. Hope your father's future wife (won't call her stepmom, duuh) will... grow up.

That's how I took it. A condescending/stupid way to suggest she's more mature than the OP. Maturity races are lame. How about you actually grow up instead of trying to prove to others that you're grown up? OP: Set up some boundaries quick. And although I don't think violence is the answer...I don't think many could blame you for punching her.

OUCH that sucks

Sounds like your Dad is having a mid life crisis. I hope he enjoys his trophy wife. She will dump him for the pool boy someday.

Hahaha, do you live on Planet ****?

Well what can you do? I suggest just accept the your life, even though it's ****** for sure. Punching her won't help neither would vomiting. I can see how you feel but that's life, shit happens!

Get a man your Dad's age to ask him for your hand in marriage and see how it makes him feel

=( I'm sorry, that situation really sucks. And to the people saying "Violence is not the answer", I'm not gonna disagree with you, you're right. BUT I can see where OP is coming from. Imagine some GIRL barely 18 months older than you suggesting that she wants to assume the role of your mother. I can see how OP would be furious. Most people I know who are in the position of stepparents know better than to just assume the step-child wants them to be their new "mom" or "dad". In some cases, the step-children do, but they do it on their OWN terms, in their OWN time, IF they want to. For this child bride to assume that someone a year and a half younger than her would WANT to call her mom shows that she's pretty dim. OP: Do you live with your father? If so, I suggest you move, ASAP. If she's old enough to get married and you're only 18 months younger, you're probably old enough to be on your own (assuming you're not already). So just make your life easier and get out of there so you don't have to deal with added stress/drama. Good luck! (EDIT: Ummm this was supposed to be a reply to the original poster, I dunno why FML made it a reply to someone's comment. Lol, whoever's comment I'm apparently replying to, disregard, sorry about that!)

Ultimately violence wouldn't solve anything you would just create negative feelings with her and your father and most likely he will side with her thinking you just don't like him having a girlfriend regardless of age. I think it is wrong for any step-mother to try to take the title of mom, unless you grew up with her being 'Mom' and obviously you didn't in this case. As far as age goes if she is old enough to know what she is getting into then there is no problem with age and who your father dates should only be for him to decide. Is it a good decision? No probably not, only time will tell.

thank you! if this person is an adult then they need to realize that they have no say and I'd they disagree they should keep it to themselves.

vomiting on her face?

That's what I was thinking! FTW! Dads' 40, the girl is 20, the new wife is 21-1/2. Not normal, but not freakish nor pedophilic.
