Good idea Just Peachy. That's how I normally talk in general anyways. I thought she had caught on but maybe me ignoring the first comment the week before got her in that "daddy" mindframe of thinking it was ok.
We had adopted our son from fostercare. So I have known her for quite some time. I was use to her making all kinds of comments about her son as daddy back when he was still in care. But since his adoption (when he was 1 years old) she continues to make comments about how he "comes by that naturally" or how "____(birthfathers first name) used to be the same way" but she has never made the comment naming him as "daddy" since then she ould always just use his birthfathers first name.
BTW. that's another thing that bothers me. It doesn't matter what he's saying or doing she always makes comments implying that he gets that from her side of the family or from his birthfather.
Like nothing about him, his personality, behavior, etc comes from us. Even though we've been his parents since he was a newborn.
For example. We were out to lunch with her and I mentioned how funny it is that he (a 3 year old boy)loves fruits and veggetables and prefers them over meats/breads/deserts and typical kid foods. Of course the first thing that comes out of her mouth was "oh he comes by that naturally, our family eats lots of fruits and vegetables."
(hmm, obviously we do as well or he would have never been accustomed to eating them).
