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, while in line for my prescription, my daughter was interrogating the man behind us. I'm a single mother. She asked the man, "Do you think my mom is pretty? Want to go on a date with her?" When he told her he was married, she replied, "So? You can get a divorce." FML
Today, I told my son and daughter that their father and I were getting a divorce. They each responded with something like, "Yay! I want to live with Daddy! He buys better presents!" Their father has literally never bought anything for them, one of the many reasons I'm divorcing him. FML

Today, my daughter came over, furiously ranting that her husband had asked for a divorce. During the conversation, I asked what she did to make him happy. She glared at me and yelled, "It's not my job to make my husband happy!" I'm on her husband's side after that. 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

what a screwed up loser he doesn't deserve you or your little girl

Blurting that out was uncalled for especially in front of his own daughter. OP, best of luck ripping him dry with child support. You & your daughter deserve better. FYL

And her father just ruined that little girl for life. That's just a heart breaking thing to say. Prank or not...that little girl is going to carry around that feeling "my daddy didn't want me" for the rest of her life.

I actually said 'what the ****' whilst reading this FML... What kind of pathetic and worthless father is he? You just don't talk about your wish for a divorce with your 5 year old daughter and you absolutely don't say that you don't want to have her (I sincerely hope this will not affect your daughter's self-esteem in a bad way). What. An. Ass.

what's wrong with him?? how could he use her to say that to u. that's just really mean. I'd totally slap him for u. he's such a coward. she's so young. and having her own dad telling her stuffs like that, that's just messed up.

SMH && =( Ohh well raise her right, make her know that you love her and want her. So when she has a great career and kids and he's 72 and dying he's going to wish he would have been a better father to her and can die with that regret and grief.

omg thats awful... what a horrible thing for him to say to his daughter... make sure to get child support and alamony and take that jerk for all he's worth... trust me from personal expirience he just set his daughter up for a lifetime of heart ache and daddy issues...

I don't think we should automatically conceive that the Husband is an Asshole based on the fact he wants a Divorce. For all we know there may be perfectly justifiable reasons behind this cause. We never hear the other side on FML's so it always usually sounds like the want of the Divorce is for no apparent reason. Just Saying. Good Luck to you OP and with your Child.

HE TOLD HIS FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HE DIDN'T WANT HER. I don't care how justified his reasons are for wanting a divorce. The OP could've cheated and given him herpes, and he'd still be a world-class asshole for handling it this way.

Our problem is that he told his 5 year old that he wanted a divorce and didn't want to keep her

You know, you don't know if that girl even belongs to him. I know, it's a harsh reality, and I hate to see families fall apart. But like it was said, you don't know the other side. For all we know, that kid isn't his. I'd love to see this family stay together though.

The reason for the divorce has nothing to do with it. The husband IS an ass for using his 5 yr old daughter to deliver that message & for telling the daughter he doesn't want her. Even if there is a good reason to divorce, that's a conversation to be had between the husband & wife...not kids. He is an asshole & a coward!

perfectly justifiable reason for telling your five year old you don't want her and wanna divorce her mom? maybe there was a good reason for the divorce but there is NO good reason to use a five year old as a 'middleman' and even LESS reason to tell your kid you don't want them!!

Its not like he freaking told the kid to go tell the Mom he wanted it, he would have done it himself. The kid just asked what it was and then stated it. Y'all people are retarded beyond belief. It involves a child and a woman then they automatically win. WOOPEE.

um never mind the why... if the bastard had any balls he would have discussed it with the (ex)wife without the child present. in no situation is it ever acceptable to expect an innocent child to convey a message with that much gravity. even if it was just a passing comment.

erm.. #43 everything else is irrelevant all that matters is HE TOLD A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD HE DIDN'T WANT HER!!!! How is that EVER ok? It isn't! That could **** her whole life up!

FYL. Even if he had a reason, he should of told her himself, not his 5 year old daughter.
