My stepmom is so supportive

@4oureye @schlife As long as my biological mom alive I ain’t calling my step mother mom

@Rasheed08497943 @schlife Fair

@4oureye @schlife My step dad is bob and he will always be bob

@chasingtheSAM @schlife My step mom is Janelle and she'll always be mom 🤝

@4oureye @schlife The fact you call your stepmother “mom” i’m afraid is definitely weirder.

@__McClung @schlife I prefaced this by saying "I know its the norm"

@4oureye @schlife Depends on how early they entered the child’s life.

@4oureye @schlife It's about comfort. Especially when you meet much later.

@4oureye @schlife I met mine when I was 19 lol he’s not my dad

@4oureye @schlife For the most part, I called my friends' parents Mr./Ms. (First name). Step parents were the exception, presumably because our friends called their step parents by just their first name, we also called their step parents by just their first names.

@ItovilleMayor @schlife Yea no for sure, I get both sides. I was 10 when my dad married my step mom, she practically raised me. But my two oldest step siblings called my dad by his name because they were older by the time the marriage happened (22 and 19), and the youngest two called him dad

@4oureye @schlife Some people’s parents married Satan

@4oureye @schlife My step-dad is always Geoff

@4oureye @schlife I honestly consider my stepmom like my “real” mom but she just introduced herself by her real name when I met her and it stuck lol

@4oureye @schlife I’ve always called my step mom by her first name and my step dads(I’ve had a couple😅) by their names cause it just feels weird otherwise. I call my bff’s parents mom and dad tho😅🤷‍♀️ and they refer to me as their 3rd daughter🥹

@4oureye @schlife My daughter still calls my bf "uncle John" and it'll prolly stay that way forever. My brother still calls my mom "Aunty" and he's 30 lol it's kinda weird saying mom/dad if it's not ur mom/dad?

@4oureye @schlife It’s so weird when I talk to my dad(step) I call him “Al” but when I talk about my dad I call him “dad”.

@4oureye @schlife I call my stepdad “dad” and my biological dad by his name

@4oureye @schlife What's really weird is when kids call their bio parents by their names
