What To Call A Step Parent
Posted by: Maureen | November 6, 2011 | 3 Comments
People ask me all the time “what do your step kids call you?”
When Tom and I decided that we would spin this blended family web, there was much discussion about what the kids would call us. My daughter obviously called me mommy, and his children called him daddy, but what would his kids call me? What would my daughter call him?
We came up with a couple of cheesy things, like Taddy (Tom + Daddy) and Moemy (Moe + mommy), but we knew they weren’t really an option.
I knew of other families who just added their name to their title, so Daddy Tom and Mommy Moe or Mommy Maureen.
Rebecca actually called me Mommy Moe for a while when she was younger because she heard other people calling me Moe. Anyway, I digress, so what would the kids call us?
Well, we decided on Maureen and Tom.
Easy Peasy.

Hi Maureen,
I don’t have any step children, but I really liked the way you handled it all. Allowing the kids to find the most comfortable way to call you is a great thing.
All the best,
Eren

My step kids also call me by my first name. When I went to enroll them in school, the kids and I were given funny looks because they refer to me as their mom when talking to other people, but call me Leslie…the school was pretty confused.
