What i dont get was how someone incorrectly using this term to describe a emom has turned into a "we are not "ex-mom" issue,,, or has someone on this site actually used this term to describe a bmom?

I'm not advocating saying "hey dumb*** don't say that." I agree that being gentle is the best way to go.
I also think that here on a firstmom forum we are expressing our feelings in away that lets us be nice when we are confronted by things like that.
I don't know if someone on a forum referred to a firstmom that way, doesn't really matter, we're expressing our feelings on a term.

First mom to the amazing Kiddo and adopted adult.
1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
