[quote=Anonymous]Twelve years ago I married a man with three young children ages 7, 5 and 3 at the time and he had primary custody. I remember the 5 year old asking me if she should call me mom and I said “It’s up to you but remember you already have a mother but if someday you want to call me mom that would be very nice.” So for almost a year they called me by my first name which was fine by me but then the two youngest simply transitioned into calling me mom and a few months later the oldest did. We never made note of it or asked them why.....it just happened and it made me feel very good that I had earned my way into their hearts. Initially their bio mother was upset by it until she came to grips with the fact that I really loved and cared about her children. Over time she has sadly drifted away from her children so it’s nice they have someone to call mom on a daily basis. [/quote]
