I have never called myself "Mom" or "Mommy" in front of Munchkin. I will not. That is D's title. I do not wish to confuse the Munchkin. When asked in public whose daughter she is, I point to D... who then points to me and we're often confused for a lesbian couple but that's another really funny story for another time.
She's probably doing it out of extreme respect for you and for her/your child. She is probably just doing what she was instructed by others is "right:" reaffirming your position as the MOM. She will eventually find her place in your child's life. Promise. It just takes awhile.
Glad you had a good time!! :-D
PS - She may not have wanted to tell a random store clerk that she was a birthmom. I still don't 3 years later.
