oh my! no you are not being petty....there is no reason he should call her momma, my first son didn't start calling my husband dad until we had other kids and they called him dad. Could they be encouraging this to erk you?

Wow, to much for that little guy to handle sounds like someone is pushing heavy things on him for their convenience not worrying about how it may affect him. I definetly feel like there needs to be an intervention on his behalf

u don't know the half of it, onthebeach...my son is autistic
(aspergers syndrome) and once an idea gets in his little head, it's stuck...I have to very carefully word EVERYTHING I say to my son...

i don't think your being petty, i do think that your letting yourself get to upset over this. don't waste the energy. calmly tell your son, until daddy gets married, she is his girlfriend, and if they ever do get married you call her, whatever her name is, because you only have one mommy and then make a little game and tell him, he won because your his mommy.

Mt ex has her boyfriend tell my girls that they now have two dads. It would be easier to die a slow painful death than have to hear that again!

You are the only one he should call mom.

He has a mom already, so he does not have a stepmom either.

Inform your ex of that fact. And then talk to your kid before he gets too confused.

The only relationship your child should have with his girlfriend, is just being friends. Nothing more.

Just my 2 cents.

My ex is engaged..to the OW. She told my kids to call her "Bonus Mom".

My 11 yr old shortened it to Miss BM.

I refer to her as the Step-Ho..but not with the kids :)

If you have an attorney contact that attorney. this is even a bigger deal that he knows better than to do this and what the effects these statements would have on your son. Shame on both of them.

How about BS because thats what it is!

My ex taught my little girl to call her boyfriend "Best Friend". He moved in with them 17 days after she moved out of our house. Now they have married and she has taught her to call him Daddy.

That was very painful. They have a new son now and I talked to her new hubby. I explained that he had a 70% chance of her doing this to him and now he has stopped her from calling him Daddy.

You are not being petty! You are the one and only Mommy!

well, be gentle, he don't really understand what's going on

Sounds familiar. After agreeing our son should only meet people we were serious about he lets his OW of two weeks stay over when my son is there. Later I find out she has one of her children taken out of her care by the state. Boy was I PISSED OFF. And he has the cheek to call me a bad mother...

Lucky I havent seen him in a while. :P

grrrr

In my experience I would have a talk with your son and ask him what HE wants to call her. I would also talk to your EX and explain to him that he may be pushing his girlfriend on your son to strong- and it may hurt that relationship.
You are not being petty- you are being a mom- you have every right to question this one.
