NOW, after 2 years, she wants Jersey to stop calling me "mommy." Now that I'm actually going to be her mommy in a sense - her "step mommy" - by marriage. Not to mention that we now really DO have a blood tie with her baby sister. And she's been calling my sons her brothers and they have referred to her as their sister for 2 years.
Especially ironic, since her mother had Jersey calling her boyfriend "Big Daddy."
Now, that was just creepy.

Yes "Big Daddy" is creepy. ew
Youre all a family even more so in her childs eyes because there is now a little sister. It was the same over here, my children accepted that Clint was going to be their stepdad but it wasnt until I had a baby that they felt that we were all really family now. Weird. lol.
Either way Jersey should be able to call you whatever she feels is appropriate if that name happens to be "mommy" so be it. Im sure though that her mother is going to hastle her about it and eventually her little 5 year old mind will become riddled with guilt and she will learn to call you Kristin when she is with her mother and call you mommy when she is at home with you.
I know that with my 7 year old he slips up sometimes and calls Clint "dad" and then will go "Oh I mean Clint." and has asked me what to call him, because as he said "he's not my real dad, I have a dad." So for now he says "other dad" or " number 2 dad" which personally makes me giggle because I cant help but remember when he use to say that he had to go number 2. I always end up whisperiing to Clint..youre the poop dad.
