Today, I was picking up my daughter from my ex-husband's house and his new girlfriend was there. I said to my daughter that it was time to leave and she clung to his girlfriend and said, "Mommy, I don't want to leave." She wasn't talking to me. FML

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

Mommy issues

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

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

Child's play

By knew that kid looked familiar - 06/10/2021 17:00

Today, I took my kids to the park. I saw my daughter playing with a kid who looked familiar. Turns out he was my ex’s son, whom I haven’t seen in years. I thought it was cute they played so well together, until my ex’s new girlfriend came over, screaming that I was trying to use my kid to get to her man. 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

Daddy's girl

By TooMuchForToLittle - 06/09/2021 11:00

Today, yet again, my 3 year-old daughter came home from a few hours with her father, screams and cries over everything, and when she realizes it won't get her anywhere, screams at me that she hates me and that she wants to go home. I calmly told her she is home, and she screamed, "This is not home!" FML

that sucks but if she is treating her right and your daughter knows that you are her mother i wouldnt worry about it to much. this stuff happens a lot when kids are involve in a divorce. my wife had a kid from a previous marriage and he calls me dad. his father handles it pretty good and he is a self center asswhole. if he can handle his son calling someone else dad then anyone can handle it

I'm a mom of two girls. What you just described is my idea of hell. Sorry for you.

I had to ask my boyfriend to make sure that his kids did not call me mommy, I felt so bad for their biological mom every time i heard it. Its not that i don't love them, I do as if they were my own, but I feel like it is rude to allow your children to call anyone outside of their birth parents mom or dad. If you're single she may not want to go home just because she misses the family dynamic of dad + a woman.

That's when you leave her there, let them have the joy of raising a child instead of letting them keep their little utopia of weekend parenting while doing what they want at all other times, and you can have your own life! Then when your daughter sees what life is really like with them, she'll want to come crawling back to her own mother. Go see that movie She-Devil, and you'll get the idea. ;)
