LOL!! Well we all know I am one of the FIRST to be offended( HAHA)....but she said that she was using it because her kids are so young... I thought it was cute to help a two year old understand! If the child was older and she was using it because she didnt want to say mother....I would probably be offended... but I thought it was cute.
It HAS to help the child understand that she was born from someone else's tummy! And in knowing that....it will help the word "birthmom" or whichever she decides to use...be more understandable! I also think that it gives you something to work with if you dont find out her name... You can say that I dont know her name but the Tummy lady is your birthmom....it could lead in to a deeper conversation later, knowing that the concept is understood....
But for a toddler? I dont find it offenssive I think it is cute.
JMHO.... but then again I refer to myself as my birthdaughter's birthmom and her mom as her "real" mom even though that offends people.... *shrug*
