I know that in my situation it would not be welcomed. :) Just makes it hard when its Mom and Dad at one house and at our house its my Dad and "first name". :) Makes me feel like an outsider for sure. But its not about me! And I get it. Still feels weird though!Step With Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581686945429171463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704549189277004055.post-26456401226634451632013-10-07T11:06:42.824-07:002013-10-07T11:06:42.824-07:00I've been called several things, it didn't...I've been called several things, it didn't go over well when my then 6 yo SD told her mother she sometimes calls me mom (mostly mistakenly anyway) I even got a letter from her (still have it to this day) that I made her mom cry "because I am not a mom." Nothing we've ever pushed at all, 5 years later I am still "first name" They don't correct assumptions when we're out, and every now and again they toss me a cute nickname, this weekend it was "my little gummy bear" sometimes it mumsie. Whatever works for them, they know they are loved like heck! and lucky to be surrounded by all 3 parents :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
