I got a question ladies... My stepson calls me mah! Iknow he's way to Young to even say anything but idk what we should say when he's an appropriate age. He has not seen his mom for 9 months.. she's not allowed to be around him until she gets her life together.

I'd say if you and your husband are comfortable with him calling you Mom let him call your mom. It seems as though you're the only mother he's ever known. In his eyes you are his mother. Hopefully his mother does get her shit together but there's always a chance that she won't and you will always be the only mother he will ever know.

Yes we're both comfortable with it. Yes I hope she does to! We aren't trying to keep him away from her but we don't feel comfortable with her just seeing him or going somewhere with him. If she comes around shes gunna have to prove herself that she's better and we can trust her alone with him.

@momsrmagical thank you!

That’s tough! I lean towards kids calling whoever they view as their mother mom. You do all of the mom duties and he won’t know any different for awhile it sounds like.

Let him call you what he wants. If he sees you as his mom, let him call you mom, if he comes to you and wants to call you by your name let him, you’ll always be a mother figure to him either way!

I would keep it honest even from a young age that way he can know the difference and not be resentful in the future you never know she might get her life together and he will be so grateful you didn't let his bio mom die in his heart. Be causious but be honest. I always say honesty is always key ... Shoot I don't even lie to my kids about immunizations I will straight up tell them hey guys were going to go get your shots but after if you do a great job we will go get ice cream or your choice of candy. They always do good and sent scared I think kids need to have honesty with life because they are going to understand one day and that way it won't come as a shock

I would say let him call you that because he’s to young to understand you’re not his mom and you can really explain what’s going on. And plus you’ve earned it since is mom doesn’t have her life together and you’re the mom figure he knows

Let him!!! Or you will make him feel not wanted! He chose to call u that for a reason!!! If he's mother didn't want him looking at another women as a mom she should of been there js

Yeah true... She says how much she misses him and all this crap well your choosing to not get your crap together!! She's lost him a couple times and that horrible for only being 2 1/2
