This is an interesting thread. When we were having transitional visits we would talk to the kids then foster parents. They had several children in foster care in their home. There was 16 yro girl that called the FM by her first name. In front of my wife and I the FM told her that she wanted her to call her "mom". The 16yro told her "you are not my mother". The FM replied "well when those new girls start calling me mom then you will to". I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
The replies on this post are just what I needed to hear and are both what my wife and I both have practised. The "call me what you are comfortable with" method.
