My son calls me by my first name. The first time we ever talked on the phone, he asked what he should call me. I suggested he call me by my first name, as his amom is his mom. When he introduces me to someone, he calls my his birthmother. But he never calls me my first name to my face, lol.

At the time I suggested that he not call me mom, I thought that title should be reserved for his amom, but later I realized that you a lot of times end up calling different people 'mom'. I call my mother-in-law 'mom' and she didn't raise me. Some people call their friends mother 'mom' and nobody thinks anything of it. But I guess it's whatever two people are comfortable with.
