I think this all sounds innocent enough. Of course the girls mother is going to get a little bit upset, thats her baby. However when she looks at it with a clearer head she will be able to see that no one was trying to replace her. You (or your boyfriend) should explain that fact to her though. Also I would have a talk with the little girl too. Something along the lines of "Even though I'm not your mommy I am still Daddys friend and your friend too!" Basically explaining your place in her life in childrens terms. I know this is a tough situation but as long as everyone can act like adults you should be fine.

His daughter really don't understand at three years old who you really are. her other mommy is all she knows. Honestly I would kinda back off alittle when he has is daughter. maybe stay at home and not spend the night at his house. this baby is going to be really confused she is to young at this point. her mother on the other hand has her own opinion to this. do you understand WHY she was upset about HER baby calling another woman mommy. If you don't when you have kids you will understand. She feels the same way i feel when my kids are with there father and he has another woman around them. they are 6 & 7 and no that there daddys friends but still i feel like she is trying to move into there life and they will forget who mommy really is. so i would let your b/f know i need to let you spend time with your daughter and maybe during the day we may can all do something together but not stay at his home when she is there. good luck sweetie
