Today, my five year old daughter asked me what a divorce was. When I asked why she wanted to know, she replied with "Daddy wants one. He says you can have me." 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, while in line for my prescription, my daughter was interrogating the man behind us. I'm a single mother. She asked the man, "Do you think my mom is pretty? Want to go on a date with her?" When he told her he was married, she replied, "So? You can get a divorce." 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, 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

Blurting that out was uncalled for especially in front of his own daughter. OP, best of luck ripping him dry with child support. You & your daughter deserve better. FYL

What a dick! That conversation will stick with her for the rest of her life. Basically says he doesn't love or want his own child.

No real man would do that. Hope you suck him dry and never let him see that pretty little girl ever again! I'm so sorry that happened to you.

This is one of the saddest FMLs I've read in a while! I feel so sorry for that little girl, having a father that's a piece of garbage! Who would say such a thing to their 5 year old?

as a mother I don't see how ANY parent could ever say that about their child. my daughter is my world & she defientely is her fathers too. to me that is the lowest thing a father could EVER say. sorry, this happened to you. hope everything turns out ok. just remember... what goes around comes around.

62, I'm pretty sure you have no idea what communist means. Requiring liscence to have children has nothing to do with communist ideals. It may be unconstitutional, but that doesn't make it communist. Get your head out of the Red Scare.

think of it this way: you're divorcing a man less mature than a five year old. did he also give her a little folded piece of paper with: "DO U DIVORCE ME?? Y/N" on it?
