My family ranges...there are some who have referred a couple time to his Mom and Dad...honestly I get really confused. DH family esp refers to themselves in the 3rd person a lot, so when his Mom would say, and "How was Mum with that? Meaning something that happened between Bmom and I...I would say. I was ok with it...or I was upset because... Honestly, it wasn't to be cutsey or rude, I just thought she meant me...but that's just his family. They are weird. They know the terms now.
My family will skirt the word, and almost refuse to even refer to her as bmom. I said if they weren't comfortable with it, they needed to use her name, because her and she wasn't cutting it.
If people referred to bmom as "mom", and I could clearly tell they meant bmom, I would answer with the term bmom. I usually gave them a couple chances, and then I would as nicely as I could, say it flat out since they didn't get the subtle hints...
