Kids: Today, I was picking up my daughter from my ex-husband's house...

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

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

I don't think it has much to do with your parenting. The new girlfriend wants to be accepted by your daughter and your ex husband wants your daughter to accept his new gf. There's nothing wrong with refering to both your mother and step-mother as "mom", but since this is just your ex's girlfriend, it's entirely inappropriate. Talk to your daughter and your ex, as well as his gf.

Contrary to the majority, I don't see this as a problem. The kid obviously likes your ex-husband's girlfriend more than you- so what? Do you want your daughter to be unhappy? Do you feel your ex-husband shouldn't have some happiness now you're seperated? Stop being selfish and think about your girl. Maybe be glad she's getting on since you divorced. Or is that what's really bothering you? Let me guess- you wanted her to grow up and hate her dad, to be just as bitter towards him as you seem to be.

OR maybe her daughter will get hurt in the long run seeing as how this is just a girlfriend. She will have real issues if she has a new mommy every few months. Insensitive!

Woah. That's a little harsh. I don't think that she wanted her daughter to be resentful, but I'm pretty sure what her daughter had said was like a stab to the heart. And it sounds more like you're the resentful one with what you commented.

#8 and #13. Really? Don't be ridiculous. Divorces are never that simple. The poster could be a fabolous, authoritative parent, and the Dad be completely permissive: that could create a similar reaction on the part of the daughter: as well as many possible circumstance. Heck, they could be watching a movie that night she wants to see. As for calling her 'mommy.' It's really not up to you. Depending on the age of the child(ren) it's probably inevitable. Be confident in your own parenting. You're still her mom. I feel that this is just part of the divorce progressing, and life unfolding. A tough moment, in a tough situation.
