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.

The more you think about it, the worse this post gets. It's only the middle of August, so even if he's waiting a while before introducing these women to their daughter (which I doubt), he's still having her meet a different person every two and a half months. I wasn't introduced to my boyfriend's two kids until we had been together for about six months; but for as great as I get along with them, there's no way in hell I would ever have them call me their mom. Why? Because I'm not. If OP's ex-husband were to remarry someday, his wife would be the girl's step-mom, and that's exactly how she should be addressed. It's bad enough that the poor kid is probably confused beyond words with meeting different women so close together, but to have her think of or call even one of them (much less all three) mom is absolutely wrong. Being with a new person doesn't somehow magically change who you had your children with, and I think that using your children to do it is one of the worst ways someone could try to hurt their ex. Regardless of how your relationship or marriage ended, nobody with any decency whatsoever would stoop so low. It's a shame to think of how pissed off and upset this must make the OP feel, and it's even more sad to think of how messed up their daughter's head will be if this keeps going on around her.

To be fair, sometimes kids do want to call their step parents mom or dad. They shouldn't be expected or pushed to, but if it's their choice I don't see why it's q bad thing. Obviously not the case here, but thought it should be added.

"New mommy". As if anyone can replace the one who actually gave birth to you... I don't think he should have even let her meet anyone in the family for at least several months, just to be sure she's "the one", or whathaveyou. Way too easy for things to go south, and then what? The kid learns mommies disappear after a few months and aren't mommies anymore. Perfect.

I don't think confusing and screwing up that poor girl even more is a good way to get revenge.

That is not a good parent

If that's the type of dad he wants to be, tell him to fix himself before he hurts your daughter and be the mom she deserves. The other "mommies" will never be the real thing, and that's what she needs.

Reminds me of that man I followed home a few years ago. The next morning, he was like, "I had my daughters on the phone, they're coming over this afternoon. I told them you were their new mommy, they're gonna love you!" Needless to say, I ran away. Literally. (And no, I didn't even get laid. The man only wanted me to sleep next to him.)
