My kids call my partner dad by their own choice. And I’ve always told them if they want to call their fathers partner mum that’s okay with me because at the end of the day she also takes care of my kids like her own x
Sorry completely different situation
If the child themselves give a title, that’s one thing. Your son is being brainwashed.

Nope. Fuck that shit! He wouldn’t go back until we went to court and addressed it. But I’m petty asf so…
Clearly your ex’s new GF has some serious unresolved issues. First of all, what kind of woman does not allow her man to communicate with his child’s mother? I could understand if you were sending inappropriate text to each other, but even then you still have a child you two need to speak about. Secondly, where in the world does she think she has any right of making a child that she did not give birth to or raise call her mommy. It would be one thing if you were not around or not taking care of him! I don’t know about your state, but in the custody agreement where I live there was a clause that states my ex can’t live with anyone unless they are
Married and if he does I have the right to hold him in contempt and alter our agreement. I would check all the clauses and whether communication is allowed or not tell him it has to stop or you will find him in contempt or file for full temporary custody! It’s thank Ridiculous that there are women out there that do this! I know a few myself and I think it is so wrong!

If you have concerns and struggling to communicate go through a lawyer and have mediation where she won’t be allowed to attend and come up with an agreement with him signed and even get judge consented. If you tell the lawyers legal aid etx about the communication issue they will help. Don’t use a family service place
And maybe have you child sit down with a councillor or psychologist about thia

I would send them both a lil text( since she answers for him) and ask for the bs to stop. If you hear of the bs you’ll take em to court or your son can be seen on FaceTime…this is if you don’t have court order visiting time set up.

Um girl go bang on his door and demand he talk to you and tell his gf that she is a bitch and your son isn’t hers and she can not force him to call her mom and that they all better fix the situation or the court system will. Dont plat games with gfs who didn’t help you make the child because that’s not how it works.
Hell No …One mom only if the mother is in the kid’s life .
I would address this in person. Face to face with the dad present. Also she’s not allowed to cut communication off between you two, If needed you could go through the courts and put it in the paperwork that you are to speak to the dad only and girlfriends aren’t allowed to live in the home.

So when my husband was a kid his dad’s new girlfriend told his sister she was gonna be her new mommy. My mother in law beat her senseless. I’m not saying do that but you damn sure have a right to be upset.
That is a NO NO, she is out of order. You need to approach her or them and tell them how it is. You are the mom and you will be addressed as such. He needs to put on his big boy pants as in dad and set some boundaries with his gf…

Who does he get in trouble by dad or wannabe mama? If it’s wannabe mama I’d set her straight. That is not her son and should not be making him call her mom. I’d definitely be taking that to the street. Also if she’s physically disciplining your son then she’d definitely catch these hands. Timeout and taking something away is one thing but step parent or wannabe parent is going to touch my kids. And if dads doing the discipline then he needs to be put in check as well. I’m so sorry mama. Also until things are addressed I wouldn’t be sending him back

If you have joint custody through the courts the gf needs to understand that whatever happens with YOUR son is between you and your sons father. If she is gonna be a disrespectful little B, then I’d go back to the courts. You NEED to have communication with your child’s father, not his gf.
I’m sorry you’re going through this no mommy should have to go through this.

Your son is clearly uncomfortable with this and is probably miserable while he is over there. I wouldn’t allow him to go back until you are able to talk with the father and get this resolved. The fact that you can not communicate with the father of your child is a huge problem. She is not his mother, and has NO say whatsoever. He needs to put her in her place, and if they have a problem with that then take him back to court!

roll with the flow when he is older he can change I have seen these, later on “step mom” gets an ear full=====g
Even if she does answer the calls and messages, I imagine at some point he has to be picked up or dropped off. My child would not be going anywhere until this matter was discussed. If the gf is that controlling, sounds like dad may be a bit of a push over and I wouldn’t depend or trust him to correct the situation. I’d be really concerned that your son says he is disciplined for not calling her mommy. Red flags!! Handle your business

Contact the court. Speak to a family service coordinator, or a lawyer. I’m unsure what state you are in-however in Maryland, it is typically put into the documents that the child has one mother and one father and shall not address anyone as such other than the correct person. I wouldn’t jump right to taking him to court, but Atleast contacting someone about it to find out your options may be best

My child would not be going anywhere that I couldn’t speak to their father. I went thru this with my kids once, I plainly let her know that all communications between him and my children were with each other and not her. She was not to stop that.
You’re court papers should state that both parties should update each other of address or phone number changes. That’s so you can talk to one another and not through a third person. Let her know that you will take it back to court if it continues. And then do it, if necessary. Court going to side with you in this one and in my state. She wouldn’t be allowed in the court room. It’s only the parents.

Yea I agree with everyone, back to court. They can’t act like adults then I’d take measure. I’d reach out to the ex first and tell him your situation and see what he (I’m sure it’ll be she) then you can show those texts to court if she replies. But yea that way outta line I’d be livid and my daughter would never go over there again if they going to act like children themselves.

Have a mediation done. The mediator will have you and the father attend and will set him straight.
WAY stepping over line for her. It should be your sons choice to call her that. I have been in my step kids life’s for 5 years and they still call me by my first name, they have asked if they can call me mom and I said by all means go for it! Just know I’m not replacing mommy! I feel A child should never be forced to call a step parent mommy or daddy if they don’t want to specially if there only a gf to the father

I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost three years. We just recently bought a house together. I’ve never forced his daughter to call me mom or mommy. I let her choose what she feels comfortable with. She’s just now comfortable with calling my family mamaw, papa, uncle, aunt. But I’ve always told her it’s what she’s comfortable with. She calls me by my name or her step mom. Main communication is by my boyfriend and his daughters mom. But we’ve got to a point in our co parent relationship were if need be her and I can communicate too.
Girl you’re a better woman than me coz I would be in prison after the 1st time my baby got in trouble for not calling some random woman mummy.
I’d be asking him to come around for a face to face chat about it all and my kids wouldn’t be going anywhere away from me until that chat had been had. She has ZERO rights to that boy and needs to know her place

Then call her / his phone and tell her hey you are ok with her loving him and ok that he calls her mom but your not ok with her forcing him to do it and making him use your name while he is with them … you are his mother not the step mom not the flavor of the week you are the MOM that if she can’t handle it then she needs to find another place to be when he is with his Dad that if you hear of him being forced to call her mom again or he gets in trouble then dad can see him at his mother’s or another family members on his weekends
How about “Mommy Sue” (or whatever her name is)? Of course, if she is just a girlfriend the situation may correct itself.
My son now 18 would call my husband (his stepfather) Dad or Daddy when he was with us and his Bio Dad Daddy K(father’s name) and his stepmom Mommy T. And it was opposite when he was at their house I would be Mommy S and they were Mom and Dad. My child understood who was who. He was lucky to have 2 sets of parents. I can’t honestly say the last time I actually talked to his father, I would go through his stepmom bc she was the one dealing with things when he was there. When he moved in with them she was taking him to appointment’s. She may not have given birth to my son but she is one of his Mom’s.

Ask to speak with him privately at pick up or drop off.
Next time you see your sons dad, tell him to his face, and maybe get your son write a letter to him saying he doesn’t want to call her mum, if he has no issues calling him mum, then leave it, but not calling her mum and getting in trouble is not ok at all, she is an adult and shouldn’t be forcing a child to do something he doesn’t feel comfortable doing, calling her mum one day, telling him he has to say you hurt him could be the next.
It’s one thing for a nickname of some kind to naturally develop over time but to demand a child call dad’s gf mom, and punish him if he doesn’t is not okay. How is dad a good dad if he allows his son to be punished for something like that? How is he okay with his son being forced to call his gf mom, even when he doesn’t want to? How is he okay with not being able to communicate with the mother of his child. Go to his work, talk to him face to face and say if he doesn’t step up, you’re going to court because that is not good parenting.

Yes you have the right & evidently your ex doesn’t have the guts to stand up to her & not allow it. No child should be made call anyone mom or dad if their bio is in a good relationship with them.
HIS new partner doesn’t allow it? AHH HELL NO. She needs an attitude adjustment and put back in her rightful place and that man needs to either grow a pair or at the least rent some!
