Same thing different taste
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Hey!
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 met my husband's other wife. FML
Today, I met my wife's other husband. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-husband just had a baby with his new partner. We only split up a week ago. FML
Boundaries
Today, I took my new girl out on a date after work. Ten minutes later, my ex-wife, her new boyfriend and my daughter showed up at the same restaurant and decided a double date would be fun. My ex lives an hour away. FML
Today, my dad introduced me to my half-sister. He'd only recently found out that he had another daughter by another woman, and had only just met her. She and I have been in the same class in school for the past three years. FML
Betrayal
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 came back into my life, professing his love and begging for another chance. This begging act ended rather suddenly once he remembered I have a daughter. FML
Today, the guy I hooked up with last summer who was "going through a divorce" welcomed his new baby with his loving wife. FML

Time to tell him to get a grip. It isn't fair on you not your daughter. How will he like it if you introduced your daughter to various men and saying 'this your new daddy?'

You should definitely set some ground rules. Like he has to date her at least "x" amount of time before she meets your daughter.

My brothers ex wife was like this. She got married and divorced all the time, got new boyfriends constantly, and moved in **** buddies all the time. So their kids know many, many different men. She's barely 34 and she has been married 5 times. They usually don't have jobs, do drugs, are abusive, etc. We got them away from her, thankfully.

I'd definitely have a chat with him, he shouldn't be introducing any women as her mom other than you

Is there anyone you can sit with him to talk with? A family member or therapist if you can? He needs to be given a talk and hopefully understand how confusing and potentially harmful this is for your daughter, but considering he's acting this way I'm not sure he'd listen if you did it yourself..

I think I can guess why he's your ex.

I went through the same thing with my ex. Whole parade of women naked in the house whenever my son visited. Until he found one that was nearly 40 and batshit crazy desperate for a kid. Within 2 months of meeting up for casual sex, she was living in the house, pregnant and insisting my son call her mum. Not cool man. Not cool.

Hopefully the daughter is old enough to recognize that the father is just being an ass, but if he's saying "mommy," then probably not. However old she is, that's still going to mess with her. It's not fair to hurt the kid just because you want to hurt your ex.

My brother has done the seem with my nephew. He has no idea who his mommy is because my idiot of a brother says all of his new gfs are his mommy. He is only 5 years old and has been dealing with this for 2 years now. My nephew is so confused he has called me mommy. And on top of that, he has developed a stutter because of this unstable life my brother has given him. I would take my nephew away from my brother if I could. Please talk to a child therapist about this and how to stop any negative side effects. I wish you the best of luck.
