The new step mommy problem?

I know exactlly how you feel. My step daughter just turned two and she also tries to call me mommy. T o make matter worse i just had a baby girl 6 months ago so she hears the word tossed around alot. Her mother also works full time and she spends most of the time that she is not at daycare with us. Often when we take her home she doesnt even want to go to her mother. I honestly dont know what to do either, i guess just make it increasingly clear that she has a mommy but that you love her too. We are trying to get dd to call me "lo-lo" but with no prevail so far! Good luck!

She is a child and Mommy is what she calls the female adult she is with. Nothing more. Seems like her bio mom needs to grow up and realize there can be more than a bio parent in the child's life. You, your husband and the bio mom need to sit down and discuss the issue of what to do about the problem together. Then address it with the child. If the parents decide they don't want her to call you mommy also, then try your first name. When she calls you mommy, correct her by saying the decided word and move on. Don't make a scene just change the name. Soon enough she will start calling you the other name. I really don't see what the problem is-Mommy is just a word at the child's age she associates with a female caregiver. When she gets a little older she will call you something else.

I always called my step dad my dad. When I had to refer to my real dad I called him my real dad. So I had a real dad and just my dad. I think it's ok you are a mother figure as long as she still calls her mom mom then I think it's ok

let her call you by your first name correct her every time.
