The post from Mark mentioning he calls his ex Momster got me thinking about the names our kids call us and our ex's...


So what do your kids call:


You?


Your ex?


(if applicable) the new SO in your life or your ex's life?


Your parents?


Your ex's parents?

he noticed the difference in his dad's behavior at work from his behavior at home. He dubbed his father Dr. (our last name)/Mr. Hyde


DD and I sometimes call her dad a Binge Cleaner. That's because he is messy and his place is really cluttered, until it builds up and suddenly everything is spotless. He binge cleans, lol.


since my dad passed on when I was pregnant with S19 he is Grandpa in Heaven


That is very sweet, QueenB!

My son calls:


Me: Mommy, Ma-Ma


Ex: Daddy


My parents: Mammy and Grampy (he used to call my dad Bampy when he was a little guy - so cute!)


Ex's Parents: Mimmie and Pop-Pop


He calls my BF by his first name.

"Now my DS calls her Mom at their house (he says they make him and he gets punished if he doesn't!!!) and to me he calls her by her first name. He was uncomfortable with this at the beginning which is what really upset me"

Wow, that is offensive. Especially that they would punish the kid for not calling her Mom. She isn't his mother, he has a Mom, and there should be some kind of respect for his discomfort about the whole thing. Even though he is accepting the demand now, that one can come back to being a problem in teen years, the whole lack of respecting the kid's feelings' thing.

PsychoBoy so far has D3 calling OW "The Lady" (snort- that is a oxymoron, if ever there was a woman who is NOT a lady it is OW). At least that is the name she uses when she refers to her around me. I have made it clear D3 has ONE mom and ONE dad. OW is not a relative, she's Daddy's friend. At least I get support in this idea from PsychoBoy's mother. She really gets offended when OW acts like she is D3's mom and she has replaced me in everyone's life. Your X's new wife must be very insecure in her role as a mother for her to insist your son call her Mom.
