[quote=Anonymous]As a stepmother, I would never want or expect my SD to call me “mom.” If that’s what she genuinely wanted to call me on her own, I think I’d have a hard time with that unless her biological mother was really not in the picture at all. My SD is with us 80% of the time, and even though her mom isn’t the primary custodial parent and SD sees me much more, it still wouldn’t feel right for me if she called me “mom.” That being said, it really is about the kids and how they feel, not our feelings as adults - so I think if this happened to me I would try to navigate it in the most delicate way possible.[/quote]
