My foster kids could call me whatever was comfortable, as long as it was respectul and I had a 7 yo fs who wanted to call me mom.
His mother got really upset that her son would call me mom. I told her that "mom" was short for foster mom, but he could call me by my name or foster mom if she wasn't comfortable with the idea of him calling me mom. I wasn't his teacher for him to call me Ms. ___, and to have him call me aunt will be to encourage lying.
When mom told my fs not to call me mom, he replied by telling her that I was doing all the things that she was supposed to do and that when they were back together he will call her mom again, he referred to her as his other mom and me as "mom" until they RU.
Oh, and when he would go to court, he always asked the judge to speak with him in private so no one will interrup him.
