Divorce Mother I Have an Honest Genuine Questions ??
Before any of you comment the simple "Hell No" "It's disrespectful" etc.
The having yours kids call your ex husband fiancé/wife (not girlfriend unless it's serious to become fiancée type) Mom. I understand where you are coming from but at the same time I have another thing to say about it.
If you tell yours kids not to call another woman mama, do you think they will have respect for them? Honestly?
I ask because I grew up in a loving family, my fiancée is getting divorce, the kids are young 3, 7, 8. The three year old I understand but the 7 and 8 are well old enough to understand who the mother is or not. Now me personally I call anyone who is someone as close to my mother as possible Mama (I call my mother mum she can never be replaced). I had a dance teacher who we were around majority of them time I called her Mama (Her Firs Name) teachers who I can ask personal questions or who were able to help me in ways I was too scared to ask my mother.
Would it bother you if your child calls her Mama (First Name)
Secondly do you teach them not to call whoever mother? How does that turn out? Have you heard anything about them being disrespectful?
I genuinely want to know for future reference when I am around his kids, except for the three year old because he's already calling his grandfather daddy (but that's her fault honestly, long story don't try to come after that I have proof, I'm not petty)
At first I will tell them to call me Ms. (First name) I'm not going to come out and say "Hey call me Mama" no if they are comfortable and they slip up and say mommy or mom I would politely say "Miss B" or "Mama B"
Also I have friends, my brother have friends, when I was in school activities people would call my mother Mama B because she looks out for people and she really do mediate children, also she demanded respect (through presence) I'm my mother's child and I request the same through even my little cousins.
