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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, I took my kids to the park. I saw my daughter playing with a kid who looked familiar. Turns out he was my ex’s son, whom I haven’t seen in years. I thought it was cute they played so well together, until my ex’s new girlfriend came over, screaming that I was trying to use my kid to get to her man. FML
Today, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. FML
Today, my youngest daughter was going through separation anxiety when I dropped her off at school. After ten minutes of me comforting her, the teacher said, "C'mon, you have to let Nan go now so you can join in with the class." Ummm, I'm her mum, not her grandparent. FML
Today, I met my ex, whom I have not seen in years, in the airport. She was with a 3 year-old girl who ran to me with open arms, happily saying, "Papa!" Overjoyed, I picked her up, hugging her back, and kissed her. My ex then condescendingly said, "She's NOT yours!" When I asked why, she said, "She calls ALL MEN 'Papa'!" FML
Today, my two year old daughter did not want to leave the toy store, when I picked her up she started screaming at the top of her lungs, "YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!". FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Today, my ex-husband introduced our daughter to her "new mommy". That's the third time this year. FML
Today, I went to pick up my daughter from preschool. When I got there, I ran to give her a hug. She screamed and ran away. FML

I don't think it has much to do with your parenting. The new girlfriend wants to be accepted by your daughter and your ex husband wants your daughter to accept his new gf. There's nothing wrong with refering to both your mother and step-mother as "mom", but since this is just your ex's girlfriend, it's entirely inappropriate. Talk to your daughter and your ex, as well as his gf.

Contrary to the majority, I don't see this as a problem. The kid obviously likes your ex-husband's girlfriend more than you- so what? Do you want your daughter to be unhappy? Do you feel your ex-husband shouldn't have some happiness now you're seperated? Stop being selfish and think about your girl. Maybe be glad she's getting on since you divorced. Or is that what's really bothering you? Let me guess- you wanted her to grow up and hate her dad, to be just as bitter towards him as you seem to be.

OR maybe her daughter will get hurt in the long run seeing as how this is just a girlfriend. She will have real issues if she has a new mommy every few months. Insensitive!

Woah. That's a little harsh. I don't think that she wanted her daughter to be resentful, but I'm pretty sure what her daughter had said was like a stab to the heart. And it sounds more like you're the resentful one with what you commented.

#8 and #13. Really? Don't be ridiculous. Divorces are never that simple. The poster could be a fabolous, authoritative parent, and the Dad be completely permissive: that could create a similar reaction on the part of the daughter: as well as many possible circumstance. Heck, they could be watching a movie that night she wants to see. As for calling her 'mommy.' It's really not up to you. Depending on the age of the child(ren) it's probably inevitable. Be confident in your own parenting. You're still her mom. I feel that this is just part of the divorce progressing, and life unfolding. A tough moment, in a tough situation.
