Today, after a busy afternoon taking care of the kids, I was feeling really down about only being a mom these days, and I was hoping my husband would make me feel better when he got off work. In the middle of cuddling, he called me "mom." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was sleeping with my boyfriend and woke up in his arms to hear him say "Mom, Mom." FML
Today, I'm home, taking care of my kids and keeping the house in order, so that my working wife is able to relax but she doesn't appreciate me at all and hates that I'm not like her best friend's wealthy husband, even though I do my best, and really wish I could be the breadwinner in the family. FML
Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML
Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you OK? You seemed depressed earlier." FML
Today, I came home from work. I was really tired and told my son that I would make him dinner later. He called the cops saying, "Mommy won't feed me." FML
Today, after opening up to my husband about my mental struggles after a difficult birth, I shed a few tears. He left me there to go take a nap. FML
Today, my boyfriend laid his head on my bare chest and said, "You're like my mother." FML
Today, I realized that both my husband and son refer to me as "the bitch." FML
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, for some unknown reason, I called my boss "Mum" at the end of a meeting. She paused, smiled, and said, "Aww, love you too, kiddo." The rest of the team in the room lost it. FML

You got kids and a husband who likes to cuddle and has a job. Some people will go looking for reasons to be depressed.

Everyone grows older, its okay. But you should be completely thankful for your kids and the privilege of being a mother. I know people who have lost children or were never even able to have them in the first place.

That's sucks but you will get used to it, I answer to random kids calling out mom at the store.

My mom calls my dad "daddy" still. Not like in a sexual way, but as in "Kendall, daddy said he'll take you to the mall".Your husband probably got too used to hearing the word "mom" passed around the house.

Some people wish they had that. Why don't you just be thankful that you have a family instead of whining about it.

Maybe you just need to hit up a party one of these days.

At least he did not call you another woman's name.

My uncle calls my aunt "Mommy". It's not that big of a deal, and probably only happened because he refers you as Mom when he talks to the kids.
