[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are so weird about names/labels.  That said, my biggest issue with what to call my step-mother was driven by my dad.  My mother died when I was a teenager, and they started dating maybe six months later.  My dad was rather insistent that we call her "Mrs X" (she was divorced).  Which worked fine for maybe the first couple years they were dating ... but by the time I had graduated from college it felt ridiculous, and I reverted to not calling her anything at all, basically, unless I had to introduce her and then I would use FirstName LastName.  They got married when I was in my mid-twenties and I started making a point of calling her by her first name.  I couldn't very well call her "Mrs X" any longer, since we shared the same last name!  Given the chronology, there was never an issue of calling her "Mom" -- I was an adult by the time they married -- but it does feel nice to finally have a less formal name for her!

I realize this doesn't help you, but I just had to share this ridiculous story ....[/quote]

That is pretty funny...calling your step-mom 'Mrs. X'  :lol:[/quote]
