Today, I have been teaching my 5 year-old step-daughter how to read and write. She came bounding up to me with a piece of paper and said, "look what I did". It was a letter that said "My dad misses my real mommy, not you". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 5-year-old daughter was asked by her teacher to write a letter to each member of her family to read during the holidays. Her letter to me said, "Dear mommy, come on. You could have done better than dad." 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
Today, my daughter ran up to a librarian working in the kids section and screamed "MOMMY!" and hugged her. She looked at her and said "I'm not your mommy." My daughters reply: "I know. But you're better than mommy" FML
Today, I learned that my 11 year-old daughter wrote a love letter to her teacher. Cute, right? It was an incredibly graphic letter where she asked him to "abduct her and chain her up in his basement." I now must find her a new school and a therapist. FML
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, after spending time with my daughter and painting her nails she gives me a hug and says, "Mommy I love you, but I love daddy much better!" FML
Today, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. 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, my stepdaughter called me "Dad" for the first time. It was quite an emotional moment, until I realised she was just recording my reaction for a stupid TikTok, and didn’t really mean it. She’s pulled some pranks before, but this time I’m done with her, she can fuck right off from now on. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's about as ironic as a fish jumping onto land; that is, not at all.

ironic? Not sure how... On the other hand you could totaly roflpwn the little kid by explaining how as you're still around, obviously you're not missed. AND if you loved someone enough to have a kid with them (presuming it wasnt a one night stand kind of thing) then you must miss them slightly anyway, so ofc her "real mum" is missed. And yeah you just read this crap i wrote. :D

okay dumbasses, it actually is ironic, it's called situational irony, and it's what happens when what you would expect to happen in a situation doesn't. You would expect the little girl to be grateful to the stepmom for teaching her, but instead is not and is a total jerk anyway. A fish jumping onto land is also situational irony, because that's not an expected occurrence. so stfu.

kids see more than a parent can. I know from my childhood.

or maybe the kid is just projecting and she 'wants' her real mom.

She's her STEP daughter. Can you read? Obviously she has a different mother.

I suppose it is only natural for him to have some lingering feelings or what not left over from whatever happened prior.

Most separations (whether divorce or breaking up) aren't clean breaks. There's usually some form of lingering feelings for someone. But cheer up; OP, he still married you and is with you. That counts for something, right?

I highly doubt the truth/accuracy of this FML. A kid could easily verbalize this, but writing it after "being taught how to read/write" for just a week seems improbable.

The kid will get over it. If not, when they're older tell them it wasn't mommy who taught them to read and write. also that good in one week? I'm inpressed.

I'm dubious too. I think the OP is probably voicing paranoia. anyone in a relationship with someone who had a child with someone else will always be tied to that person, regardless of how the new partner feels about it, especially if they are active within the childs life.

I'm dubious too. the OP is probably voicing paranoia. anyone who is in a relationship with someone who had a child from a past relationship has to realise their partner will always be tied to the parent of their child, regardless of how they feel about the situation, especially if they are active within the kids life
