Today, while driving my kids to school, my son said, "Why don't you find another place to live, so we can just live with daddy?" Then my daughter added, "Yeah, 'cause we LOVE Daddy." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after meeting the love of my life two weeks ago and moving him in to start our life together, my kids have run off to live with their dads. Apparently they are “not dealing with another new dad.” FML
Today, my eldest son told me he wishes he lived with his dad. This after I, two years ago, managed to get myself and my children out of the abusive situation we were in. Why? He didn't want to tidy his toys. FML
Today, my 5 year-old informed me she likes her "other mummy" more and wants to live with her instead. I need to have a long conversation with my husband. FML
Today, I drove my two kids to their friends' houses. In my convertible, looking what I though was my best, I slowed down outside a bar with cute 20 year old girls in front. My daughter noticed the speed reduction and said, "Keep driving dad, you're fat and mom left you for a reason." FML
Today, I told my son and daughter that their father and I were getting a divorce. They each responded with something like, "Yay! I want to live with Daddy! He buys better presents!" Their father has literally never bought anything for them, one of the many reasons I'm divorcing him. FML
Today, I drove 15 hours to drop my son off at my parents' for their vacation, just for them to tell me that they changed their minds and they're taking my sister's kids instead. 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, I explained to my 5 year old daughter that her older sister from my husband's first marriage lives with her mommy, and my daughter lives with us. She exclaimed, "It's not fair! I want two mommies like she has! Can we swap, I like her mommy better than you anyway!" FML
Today, my daughter asked me if we could adopt a child. I said no, since we can't afford to support another child. She then asked me if she could just adopt another dad instead. FML
Today, my daughter told me that she wanted to live with her father because they have a faster internet connection. FML

It really makes me wonder why your kids would say something like that. I know they sometimes say things they don't mean because they don't know any better... But I don't know. I'm not trying to say you are a bad mother or anything, it just makes me wonder.

I want to know how your parents raised you. I love my parents. Without them, I wouldn't be here, enjoying my life.

i don't think you're a bad parent. when i was little, i asked my mom why she had married my dad because he was so ugly. he was also standing right there. as i got older i realized how much more attractive my dad is than my mom. its a mood thing, don't take it personally.

Remind them of this when they're 15. They'll feel like massive crap.

i'm so sorry for you. divorces can be tough- when my parents were going through the divorce me and my sister treated her like crap. now we are both closer with her than ever, and realized we only said those things because my dad influenced us to dislike her.

Yea do what 47 said. and make sure your husband tells them something like "She was so sad that you guys didn't love her" or something. That's what a kid would feel like/do, so they would understand it. I would know, i'm a kid >:} mmm they love their dad moar because you are a better parent, he's the fun parent. Same with me. but my mom has a uterus, too. she's a bitch when she is PMSing

it's your job as a parent to teach your kids not to be assholes. they may not have meant anything serious by those remarks, but yeah, your life will be effed until you teach them what kind of shit they can and cannot say to an adult.

#48 is right. He probably let's them do whatever they want, which will only cause them to grow up to be spoiled little brats.
