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

Aww =( well, if your daughter is really young, i can tell you from experience that the only reason we decide to favor one person over another at a young age is pretty much how many toys or fun things the person buys/does with us. but when we get a little older we realize who we truly love and appreciate, and can differentiate that from whoever spoiled us more.

Sounds like you have a lot of work to do to make her into the Jordan Brown you are craving

im sure your kid isnt saying it because your a bad parent or anything of that nature. You're the mom, so you probably discipline and all the things a good parent should do. The new girlfriend is probably letting the child do as she wants and as she pleases. Therefore winning over YOUR daughter. No worries the new GF is probably just a rebound anyway

I'm sorry, but you deserved that. How little involvement do you have in your child's life?

I wouldn't think too much into. Little kids don't differentiate between adult women in their lives. My little nephew who is 2 calls me mommy all the time, and my sister-in-law understands he doesn't mean anything by it. Kids know who their parents are, and let's face it: if you ex-husband marries his girlfriend, she's going to be her mother, too. Just remember you have a stronger connection with your child than anyone else ever will.
