[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you saying mom and dad should be reserved for the bio parents ever been the child of divorce and had stepparents? Doesn’t sound like it. As long as it was the kid’s decision then I don’t see the issue. [/quote] This! As a child of divorced parents and nanny to others, so much this![/quote] I have no dog in this fight because I’m not divorced. But could you give me an example as to why a child might want to call a step parent Mom or Dad? And I know my question sounds judgmental. It isn’t meant to be. I am just curious.[/quote] I’m a stepmom and my stepkids call me mom sometimes. Mostly when I’m doing something mom-like for them. Or when my biological kids have just called me mom, like I’m handing out vitamins or lunches or goodnight kisses. [/quote]
