[quote=Anonymous]My stepmom is the best and most loving person in the world. I LOVE her so much! In fact, I'm closer to her than I am to my mother. However, she's not my mom; she's my stepmom. I refer to her that way with pride. If your stepmom is having problems with the term stepmom, maybe what she really needs is some reassurance from you that whatever the term, she is VERY much a parent figure and a beloved family member to you. I can actually understand the negative connotation with stepmom. My stepmom doesn't mind the term, but my MIL hates the term "mother in law." so maybe I can relate. I call her my "mom in law" or "DH's name's mom" which seems to soften it. And when I'm using mom in law, I almost always add an affectionate describer, like "lovely or aweseome" to sort of imply, yeah, MILs get a bad rap but mine is great. [/quote]
