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

You must not be a good mother.

maybe it's just the idea of having two "parents" together taking care of her that appealed to her....

oh no! that sucks! i would definitely make sure your feelings are understood by your ex-husband and his new girlfriend. make sure they understand how important it is that you also feel needed by your own daughter. it is very important that your daughter is happy, but it is not unreasonable to think that your daughter could be happy at your ex's house and at your house.

#31 - Actually I believe that's Rastafarian. Or maybe I'm totally wrong. I don't know.

Maybe your ex-husband told her to his girlfriend that. It happens.

It sucks, but really it's not that big of a deal. When I was little I told my pre-school teacher that I wished she were my mother. She doesn't mean it.

Ouch. I'm sorry that must have hurt. But maybe she doesn't know what she's saying. She might not have meant it.

25 is an ass. so is 5. this is not a reflection on your parenting. i remember saying something very similar to my mother when i was younger. little kids simply get attatched to new people easily. and thank god she at least likes her. listen to 21.

Take your daughter, and treat her to ice cream, cookies, and pizza, and spend quality time with her. Sooner or later, she will realize who her true mother is.
