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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

That sucks, but honestly it all depends on tons of stuff that we aren't aware of. Like how /you/ treat them as opposed to their father, or maybe their dad is just away on business all the time. I noticed that when a parent is gone for long periods of time and then comes back the kids tend to "love" the parent that just came back more because he wasn't disciplining them while he was away.

It's perfectly normal for kids to favor their father for certain years of their lives, especially if they have healthy relationships with their parents. Chances are you are stricter and more expecting of them, which is how it should be.

Honestly guys, "is she a bad mother" of course not! Kids always say stuff like that, when mom is there dad is the best and when dad is there mom is the best.

When I was a kid, I was a total daddy's girl. I apparently repeatedly told my mum's friends I wished they were my mum, and we have a home video of me talking about how my mum isn't my friend, and looking angry and incredulous when my mum sweetly told me that she's my best friend always, because she's my mum. I'm 20 now. My mum is an amazing person, a wonderful friend, and I would do anything for her. Kids do, feel and say some weird shit sometimes. It's very likely not a reflection on you, hang in there.

man, you must be a great parent! I hated my parents when I was little, they were strict and everything. Man I thank them now! I'm sure you are a great parent! as long as you don't hit them or anything like that.
