[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't your mom teach you basic manners? Get out of her car, shake her hand politely and say good morning. She is this child's mom! You're making this child's life more difficult for no reason.[/quote]

+1.  Also, write a thank you note to the Mom for the Xmas gift. It's not your place to judge a gift that is given to you and assume mal-intent.

And, please, stop calling her "baby mama" - it's derogatory and you know it. You can call her the "birth mother" or "Larla's mom" or "my boyfriend's former girlfriend/partner" if they had more than a one night stand.

As a mom, I'd be mortified that you were treating another person with disrespect and engaging in (what you think is) tit for tat.

You don't have to like her or interact much, but everyone deserves the basic dignity of "nice to meet you". [/quote]

Even birth mom sounds misleading here, like she surrendered the kid for adoption and you, OP are in the running for “real mom”. Larla’s mom is actually raising Larla so call her Larla’s mom. You will never have to apologize for that.

Introducing her to someone:

“Larla is my bf Joe’s daughter and Carol is Larla’s mom.” And then move on.[/quote]
