I've always referred to her as "ex" or "[finance's daughter's name]'s mother."

They do slip and call me mom sometimes. :oD (Their mom would flip).

Plus, it's so freakishly large that it gets confusing even to me! :) When it comes to my brothers, I do what anyone with more than one sibling does, refer to them by name to avoid any confusion (i.e, my brother "John", my brother "Steve", etc.)<BR/><BR/>I agree withWicked Stepmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512939493170663368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808149.post-1141265878190556202006-03-01T21:17:00.000-05:002006-03-01T21:17:00.000-05:00I sometimes think we need lables though just to so...I sometimes think we need lables though just to sort out who everyone is and explain blended families to others. If I talk about my brother then people assume I'm talking about my biological brother but if I was talking about my stepbrother that would confuse them. And I think calling my stepmother my stepmother actually brings her closer to me then calling her my dad's wife.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515339498490580854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808149.post-1141250797666236902006-03-01T17:06:00.000-05:002006-03-01T17:06:00.000-05:00Hi,Just found your online store and now your blog!...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Just found your online store and now your blog!Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808338598961449017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808149.post-1141240357906012012006-03-01T14:12:00.000-05:002006-03-01T14:12:00.000-05:00Can you maybe possibly add this insight to your st...Can you maybe possibly add this insight to your store.
