First off, I am still relatively new here, and I hope I don’t offend anyone with any of these questions, but some things I’ve been wondering lately. And that I’m probably going to have to work through before too long.
Same sex/gender parents, do your children call both of you the same or different names?(mom/dad etc.)
Trans* parents, if you had children before you came out, did what they call you change? I’ve only been aware of one instance of this situation and the kids still called her dad.
That variation on “mom” was all I could think of, but being new to the community, there’s a lot more I wasn’t aware of and just learning so much! I was really interested in seeing how others dealt with the situation.
There was a bit I felt like “no, I didn’t birth them, I’m not worthy of ‘mom’” but eventually, I remembered that not all moms birthed the kid, and not all dads fathered the kid.
