Parent pick up.
Went to pick up SD from the classroom the kids are in at church on Sunday...
The "teacher": SD, mom is here!
SD: SHE IS NOT MY MOM! I TOLD YOU SHE IS NOT MY MOM! I TOLD YOU WHEN YOU ASKED ABOUT MY WEEKEND THAT MY STEPMOM TOOK ME TO A MOVIE! MY STEPMOM!
I laughed so hard. Nothing like the wrath of a small child. Especially in a religious setting. hahaha.
Have a good week, everyone.

Wow - she wanted to make her
Wow - she wanted to make her point!
My SD introduces me as her stepmum but doesn't correct people say if a shop cashier says mum.
SS never corrects anyone and has called me mum if talking to random people. Like in the tv shop he said he was going to the library with his mum but meaning me. I guess it is just less confusing and less explanation. :/
wow - SD is gutzy....... I
wow - SD is gutzy....... I will immediately start telling her, when she asks for something, ask your mother it's not me..
oh wait I'm doing that for the past 4 years
She is a lil bitch like her
She is a lil bitch like her momma.
makes disengaging so much

now you can play the card - she hurt my feefees in public I can not drive her any more
You laughed but then further
You laughed but then further down, you called her a 'lil bitch.
Just curious, were you offended that she made the correction?
It was mildly offensive but
It was mildly offensive but she is young. She is a feisty, sassy kid. "Little bitch" is a term of endearment. A truthful one
That sounds pretty offensive
That sounds pretty offensive to me.
Honestly, I get that you probably don't think of yourself as her mom, but it'd be nice of her to acknowledge that you're doing crap her mom should be doing. But nope. It's you doing it.
She was rude to make a scene like that, especially when you ARE doing motherly things for her - like picking her up from school.
That's crappy and I'd honestly stop doing anything remotely close to "mothering" which means no pickups, no cooking for her, no laundry, etc.
She doesn't have to think of you as her mom, but she can at least recognize that you're taking over some of her responsibility and not be rude when people mistake you for it.
Exactly - very "over the top"
Exactly - very "over the top" behavior. It was only funny because she isn't my kid. She is wildly mouthy to her teachers, often getting "pink slips" and phone calls home to BM.
I agree with Ladyface. I
I agree with Ladyface. I prefer people to know that SS7 is not my child. I don't want anyone thinking that I've raised him to act the way he does. I have corrected several people when they call me "mom" when referring to him, of course I'm polite about it. I would definitely not allow being so rude to the teacher.
My ss15 occasionally calls me
My ss15 occasionally calls me mom. But not on purpose, just a slip up.
If a cashier or waitress calls me "mom" when we're all out together, not even my extremely hostile SD17 will correct them. Just not worth making a scene.
Now my dh with some regularity will tell me I'm a great mom. I tell him I'm not a mom. He tells me otherwise. And then proceeds to tell me lots of sweet things in re how I am with his kids. While we disagree on some parenting, he takes the time to honor and appreciate what I do for his kids and I consider it a compliment almost too much to bear.
That's wise. One thing to do
That's wise. One thing to do it on here for convenience or anonymity, the other in real life. I'd never refer to SO's/BF's (when I had one) kids as SKs. It's misleading.
On the other hand SKs started introducing me as stepmom when DH and I got engaged. We had very short dating and engagement so it was no problem.
Entirely different story but my DD refers to my DH by his first name or says "moms husband". Never calls him stepdad but she does the same with her SM. She gets along well with both step parents but refuses to call them that. Maybe because she was an adult or almost an adult when we remarried but it kind of hurts my feelings
I call my stepdad by his
I call my stepdad by his first name but I'll refer to him as my dad/stepdad in conversation. I met him when I was 15. If it helps, the only reason I don't call him dad or anything is because it'd be hard to pick up the habit so late in life, but I'll happily tell him he's the best dad ever and let people know he's my dad.
