I Am Ready For My Ste p-children To Go Home
So, I am sitting here frustrated at 12:04 a.m. because of the behavior of my step kids, especially the oldest one who is 17. My husband frustrates me more because he wants me to be the bad guy. I have to do all the correcting while he kisses up to his children and when I refuse, because it is something he should do, he gets upset.
What is the latest on what kids should call step parents. My husband felt it was respectful for them to call me by something other than my first name, but nothing with the word mother in it. We sat down to discuss it as a family and the second and oldest child was angry. We finally just said it will be Ms. Keitha. I don't like, but I am willing to go for it.

Mine just use my first name. I don't want them even refering to me as their step mom. I don't refer to them as my step kids. They aren't my kids and I'm not their mom. I think the first name is best.

to help the skids accept you and you them, my husband and i dont' MAKE the kids call us one thing or another. My skids are told, call me what you want as long as it's with respect, and same for my daughter to my dh. They call me by my first name, and the youngest has a nick name of somesome for me.
if you force anything "mother/mom" in your name to them they will start to resent you for that
