Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, my ex-husband introduced our daughter to her "new mommy". That's the third time this year. FML
Mystery man
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
Or so you thought…
Today, my mom called me by the wrong name. This isn't the first time. It wouldn't be so bad, except I'm her only kid. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter's school saying that she had beat someone up. She's 4. FML
They're all eggheads to me
Today, my daughter once again called my boyfriend by the name of an ex-boyfriend. She always does this and she claims it’s because they’re all bald. Can she not remember their very distinct faces? FML
What's my name?
Today, as they have for the past three years, my boyfriend's parents have never called me by my actual name. They always "accidentally" call me by my boyfriend's ex's name. FML
Today, I asked my fiancé's daughter to use her phone so I could call mine which I'd misplaced. Busy with homework, she nodded. Only after she jumped up did I notice that she had my number listed with a humiliating nickname, and accompanied by a photo of her middle finger. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend's mother still calls his ex-girlfriend her "future daughter-in-law". FML
Today, my mom called me by her favorite TV show character's name. Again. This is the eighth time this week. I'm an only child, and I'm 15. I thought she had my name down pat by now. FML
The great replacement
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

At four years old, they're bound to repeat everything they hear. Especially names being loudly screamed from behind Mommy's bedroom door.

She is going to be a handful in ten years. Time to bribe her with candy before it's too late.

What the ****... People like this with kids is why we can't have nice things.

Yeah you are lying.... That's the worst spelling I have ever seen... Better yet... You dropped out in third grade and raped a poor innocent older lady

59 and 87. If you had read Badam's profile you would have noticed that he is from Poland. Granted, not the best spelling, but it was understandable. I don't have issue with people who aren't native English speakers. English is a difficult language to learn as a second language. It was very difficult for me to go from the Italian language and sentence structure to English. I have a serious problem with the idiots coming out of our educational institutions today who can't spell, and have spoken English as their primary language their entire lives. That is inexcusable.

I knew that without reading the profile. The comment is spelled phonetically and reads exactly as it would be spoken with a polish or ukranian accent.

Aw that sucks for you. But it's still just a little kid, it's not like she meant to do it, right?

What kind of mother introduces her NEW boyfriend to their children, arent you meant to wait a few months to make sure your child doesnt become attatched to someone who could just walk out?

I generally agree with you but there are exceptions. I met my boyfriends son when we had only been together for a week and now we've been together for almost 2 years. We both knew it was different from the start with us. But yeah if she's not sure it's leading somewhere she should wait!

And since the FML itself didn't explain what this man considers when a new boyfriend is no longer new we cannot assume that the boyfriend is brand new. He may be a 6 month long relationship or may be a 1 month long relationship it's up to each parent to decide when.

Wait until she starts calling him daddy. Then you'll wish she was just calling you by his name.

lol I'd feel the same thing if I was the mum that my mum goes and baby sits her kids who are 3 since they were born sometimes at a month period while they are always going out and overseas and calling my mum mum n their mum my mums name while I'm at home alone without my mum IMO DON'T HAVE FKN KIDS IF YOUR NOT INTENDING TO LOOK AFTER EM 24/7

There's this really cool thing called 'punctuation'. You should give it a shot.

She's four. She probably doesn't know any better. Please don't be too upset -.- it does suck, though, so fyl, but just try to gently tell her the truth =)

The new guy is probably cooler than you and buys her shit. Your ex-wife is happy that he has a much better **** than you do, too. I thought I'd point that out in case you missed it.

I bet he owns a pony farm too. For shame, OP. For shame.
