i explained to my son that he only has one mommy and one daddy. he has special nicknames for both his step mom and his step dad. his step moms name is Megan, he calls her Meggy and he calls my husband `Bull`, his name is Bill. I on the otherhand call my step father `dad`. My father died when i was 4 months old and he raised me since i was 7. My much older brothers and sisters call him by his first name but they were all raised by my biologial father. I think it depends on how involved the parents are involved in the childs life.

I call all my students` moms and dads `Mom` and `Dad` because I can never remember their names. I also always called all my friends` moms and dads Mom and Dad and even called my grandfather Daddy. I don`t really see a problem with it, and I don`t think I would have a problem with it if my son called someone else Mom

Not okay :) Unless the step-parent raised the child basically from birth, the birth parent is not around (at all) AND the step-parent has adopted the child. The child has a mother and a father, they cannot be replaced by step-family...unless the above criteria has been met.

My step-daughter has asked me a few times if she can call me mom. It`s really up to her I think. I raise her and I`m definitely there for her more than her mom. It`s just never taken hold, nor do I push it. She does call me smom every now and then.

If my husband and I ever split up & he had my daughter calling someone else mom I would do the exact same as jendez! LoL I really think it can depend on the situation but if we were just split up & both in her life I would never have her call someone else dad, nor would I want her calling someone else mom.

I think it depends of if the children are comfortable with calling someone else mom/dad.

Asinine. If I caught my soon to be ex having my daughter call someone else mom I`d kick him right where it counts. In the instance that maybe the biological parent passed away years and years ago, or the parent is a complete deadbeat who hasn`t seen the child in forever, then I really don`t see much of a problem with it.

I ask this question because I know some people who have broken up from the father of thier child and been in a relationship for 12 years and their children have never called him dad, and then some people who are more comfortable letting their childen call someone else dad.
