My 9 year-old stepson wants to come up with something to refer to me as other than my first name, which I think is a sweet gesture. However, when asked what he had in mind, his only response was "you know, something like mom... or something like that". Difficult situation, but "mom" isn't the right word for us, unfortunately. Any suggestions? Do you have stepkids? What do they call you?
I never really noticed until recently, but hearing him say my first name does feel very formal and doesn't represent our relationship well at all. Any thoughts?
