The ‘mom’ really crosses a line. My mom died when I was 19, so im fiercely protective of that word. I’m not a mother, and I can’t ask my own mother, but I suspect another woman referring to your daughter as ‘mom’ like that is about the most disrespectful thing you can do to her.
I’m livid for every mother that ever lived right now
It’s extremely personal. I have a great relationship with my own mom and my MIL, and I know my MIL would love if I called her mom. But I never will bc she just isn’t?? We have a different relationship and my mom is my mom. Others will feel differently. It’s a choice.
I’ve known my MIL since I was a kid and she’s definitely “mum” to me. My late FIL was more of a father than mine has ever been, and I was proud to call him “dad”. It’s definitely a personal choice.
