Today, my 5 year-old informed me she likes her "other mummy" more and wants to live with her instead. I need to have a long conversation with my husband. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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 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, my five year-old had to break the news to me that my husband was leaving me for someone else. FML
Today, while driving my kids to school, my son said, "Why don't you find another place to live, so we can just live with daddy?" Then my daughter added, "Yeah, 'cause we LOVE Daddy." FML
Today, my five year old daughter asked me what a divorce was. When I asked why she wanted to know, she replied with "Daddy wants one. He says you can have me." FML
Today, my husband told me he'd changed his mind and no longer wants children. We already have two kids. 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, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. FML
Today, my four-year-old asked me when I was going to die. I replied "Not for a long time, why?" He looked at me and stated "Because I only want to live with Daddy." FML

Maybe ask her when her other mummy comes around? That way you know if she's really tied in with your husband or even imaginary.

I'm willing to bet it's her pre-school/daycare teacher. There's a reason so many kids slip up and call their teachers "Mom".

I would not be so optimistic. When you are a 5 years-old you can call your teacher "mom", but you know she is not, because when you get home, she is not here.

When I was younger I called a teacher my other mom. In my defense she was my best friend's mom and I spent a ton of time at her house

Ralph Wiggum referred to Miss Hoover as "school mommy." :)

It may be a misunderstanding. Talk with your husband and get this all sorted out again. She's young, and probably confused. Good luck OP!

Show her Coraline movie and tell she'll have to have buttons instead of eyes.

I was waiting for this comment! Lol, that probably just dates me as quite young.

Not necessarily; I'm in my 40s, and it was my first thought.

Who needs a private investigator when you have a kid instead! hah, dang OP. I hope it was all a misunderstanding. If not, I hope things work out for you

Maybe he's been taking her to the history museum and she literally means a mummy.
