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

well maybe you could take her out more and hang out more.

wow, **** her. the girlfriend i mean, not your daughter. you should ask just what the **** she thinks she's doing.

Aw. that's horrible. you should definitely try having a talk with your ex husband about this. I hope everything gets better.

Aww =( well, if your daughter is really young, i can tell you from experience that the only reason we decide to favor one person over another at a young age is pretty much how many toys or fun things the person buys/does with us. but when we get a little older we realize who we truly love and appreciate, and can differentiate that from whoever spoiled us more.

Sounds like you have a lot of work to do to make her into the Jordan Brown you are craving

im sure your kid isnt saying it because your a bad parent or anything of that nature. You're the mom, so you probably discipline and all the things a good parent should do. The new girlfriend is probably letting the child do as she wants and as she pleases. Therefore winning over YOUR daughter. No worries the new GF is probably just a rebound anyway

I'm sorry, but you deserved that. How little involvement do you have in your child's life?

I wouldn't think too much into. Little kids don't differentiate between adult women in their lives. My little nephew who is 2 calls me mommy all the time, and my sister-in-law understands he doesn't mean anything by it. Kids know who their parents are, and let's face it: if you ex-husband marries his girlfriend, she's going to be her mother, too. Just remember you have a stronger connection with your child than anyone else ever will.
