Today, my ex-husband introduced our daughter to her "new mommy". That's the third time this year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Hey!
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, I met my husband's other wife. FML
Today, I met my wife's other husband. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-husband just had a baby with his new partner. We only split up a week ago. FML
Boundaries
Today, I took my new girl out on a date after work. Ten minutes later, my ex-wife, her new boyfriend and my daughter showed up at the same restaurant and decided a double date would be fun. My ex lives an hour away. FML
Today, my dad introduced me to my half-sister. He'd only recently found out that he had another daughter by another woman, and had only just met her. She and I have been in the same class in school for the past three years. FML
Betrayal
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
Today, my ex came back into my life, professing his love and begging for another chance. This begging act ended rather suddenly once he remembered I have a daughter. FML
Today, the guy I hooked up with last summer who was "going through a divorce" welcomed his new baby with his loving wife. FML

Time to tell him to get a grip. It isn't fair on you not your daughter. How will he like it if you introduced your daughter to various men and saying 'this your new daddy?'

You should definitely set some ground rules. Like he has to date her at least "x" amount of time before she meets your daughter.

Your comment would suggest otherwise.

Nothing like a stable home environment for your child, a parade of bimbos should give her something to aspire to. Poor girl. I bet she's wondering why all of her "new mommies" look like they just graduated high school.

and where did you get this idea? you don't know anything about this person, their ex, or their 'new mommies.'

That's so rude and very probably wrong. I can see, why you'd think the dad was a douche, but why would you call the women bimbos. You shouldn't have such a mean mindset.

You might want to talk to someone about that. Even if he's my trying to steal your daughter without custody, he shouldn't be saying that to your daughter, or explain that it's just a step-mother and not her real mother.

"steal the daughter"? What did you read?

#3 I'm not liking this whole "Step-moms aren't real moms" business.

I totally agree. My older sister has a different dad than my other siblings and me and my dad had to wait a certain amount of time so they were sure the relationship was going to work before he was allowed to meet her.

I disagree. there is nothing wrong with introducing your kid to your partner early on but you shouldn't introduce them as their new mommy

Someone needs to have a word with the guy. That's not fair on your daughter, or the women he's dating especially if especially trying to force the "mommy" role onto them so quickly. She doesn't even need a new mother, she has you! This is also unfair on you too.

At this point, I'd probably forgo the "new mommy" explanation in favor of something more Whovian. "Remember Trisha, honey?" "Yeah, dad." "Well, to escape death, she regenerated. We also call her Kate now."

That's just ridiculous and stupid on his part. No such thing as "new mommy" or "new daddy". It's true that there are things that a kid cannot understand which is why adults are forced to lie. But I think separated parents should simply introduce their dates by their names or as friends until the vulnerable kid can understand...and have certain rules such as what the kid should be exposed to. May sound complicated but once both parties assumed their responsibilities and set boundaries that are respected, I think it should be ok. Just my opinion.

If that's the 3rd time this year, then obviously it was a good thing for you to divorce him
