Nicknames for bonus moms?
Just wondering what your bonus kids call you.
My bonus son is 5 I’ve been in his life since he was 2. And recently over the last few months has really decided he wants to call me mom. We had corrected him when he was little but at this point I don’t want him to feel rejected and it’s an honour that he feels that bond.
I’ve talked to BM about it and she’s ok with us finding a new title but doesn’t want mom/mommy to be interchanged which I understand.
Just wondering what your bonus kids call you that’s not “step mom” or first name which he also doesn’t want to use.

Maybe ask him if he has a cool name he wants to use? This is a hard one, my step kids call me by my first name but they’ve also thrown mom and mama in there. I’ve never corrected tho. We tell them it’s completely their choice on what they want to call me. The have the freedom to call me anything as long as it’s respectful
Could you do "Mama/Mommy (your name)"? Mine call me Mom and their bio mom other mom unless they are with her, then I'm other mom haha
