[quote=Anonymous]Talk to your ex. Perhaps there is some other title you can all be comfortable with that would be more familiar than a first name but less familiar than Mommy. Your feelings do matter and I think its perfectly acceptable to put your foot down on this one. That being said, this is your Ex's new wife and her feelings should come into play. Not enough to get her the "Mommy" title, but enough that she should feel heard and included in the family dynamic. While I think you can put your foot down on variations of MOM.. I don't think you can be the only person deciding what your kids call her. All parties need to be comfortable with the ultimate decision. For better or worse, she will be a part of your children's lives and having a respectful relationship with her will be important. You cannot control her but you can control yourself.[/quote]
