By divorced - 07/03/2009 20:15 - United States

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-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

Mommy issues

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

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

Child's play

By knew that kid looked familiar - 06/10/2021 17:00

Today, I took my kids to the park. I saw my daughter playing with a kid who looked familiar. Turns out he was my ex’s son, whom I haven’t seen in years. I thought it was cute they played so well together, until my ex’s new girlfriend came over, screaming that I was trying to use my kid to get to her man. FML

Mystery man

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

Daddy's girl

By TooMuchForToLittle - 06/09/2021 11:00

Today, yet again, my 3 year-old daughter came home from a few hours with her father, screams and cries over everything, and when she realizes it won't get her anywhere, screams at me that she hates me and that she wants to go home. I calmly told her she is home, and she screamed, "This is not home!" FML

aggree with #8 my opinion..either you're probabally doing all the things on dr. phils list of the wrong things divorced parents do to thier kids, or daddy is filling her head full of nonsence and new gf is putting on some little act to gain her acceptance and trust.

Put that kid right. And tell your ex and his new girlfriend to respect your role in your daughter's life! They're literally trying to replace you. This is SINISTER.

"put that kid right" because whats most important is mommys feels, **** the childs feelings.

Oh how horrible - your ex has a girlfriend that is treating your daughter as if she were your own child. This is really going to hurt you in the long run. How are you going to sue him for false cases of abuse when your child actually gets along with her future stepmom.

Just don't be like my mother and never allow your daughter to call your ex-husband's partner "mom" "ma" or anything she pleases. I resent my mother to this day. And please don't listen to these other people saying "choke a b" and the like... that'll only cause more problems.
