Yes it very much so would bother me if my child called his stepmom mommy. I understand that thought it would bother me, it might not bother others. If you have a good/ decent relationship with her mom maybe you should ask her if it bothers her, and if it does try to explain to your step daughter.

I absolutely agree that her being a step mom does not make her any less important in her step daughters life or any less important, and she absolutely should love that child as her own, that’s what you sign up for as a step mom is to love and take care of that child like your own. But it still doesn’t mean that the daughter’s birth mom is comfortable with it. I think the best person to discuss it with is the birth mom and if she isn’t comfortable with her daughter calling her step mom mommy then that should still be okay, otherwise you’re then walking over the birth mom.

her mom and I doesn’t have a relationship due to her lying on my child and having police involved. I don’t trust her and don’t care to but I guess she’s okay with it. My step baby calls me mom in front of her. I think kids knows who genuinely loves them. I treat my step kids like my own. I wouldn’t do anything I don’t do to my own. I baby her buys her clothes and etc. if she was to come over and needed her hair done I will make it happen. If your son had a great stepmom I would appreciate it because some women will hate you child and some will genuinely love him.

that’s exactly how I feel. That’s my baby too I don’t treat her any less than my own kids. She be around us a lot. I think my step baby see the mother in me and she knows I love my kids also. I wish I had a great stepmom growing up. I know can’t nobody break our bond.

that’s the thing I have never ask my step baby to call me mom. I would’ve never done that and when she started it shocked me. I also would never to tell her not too. If she feels comfortable and look at me as a mom I value that. I have been here going on 5 years and I treat her just like I do my own girls. Can’t nobody tell her I am not her mom and if they say who Taja she say my mommy!

It wouldn’t bother me just because I have called my step dad my dad for my whole life and I believe the more parents the merrier lol. I do know that it bothered my biological dad and still does

It wouldn’t bother me if my stepdaughter called me mom but it has never happened lol there was a discussion of what I would like to be called and I left it up to her and she calls me by my name and I’m fine with it. I think it’s important for kids in blended families to choose what to call their bonus parents.
