Hi There,
my ex-wife keeps tell me to stop putting things in my kids head... and I am not... I dont talk bad about there mother when they are around me..
I one thing I did not like is she wants the kids to call her boyfriend mother grandmom, I see that as wrong!!! am I wrong on that???

I don't think that you are wrong, I feel that forcing kids to call someone that in that situation is wrong. It would be another thing if they did it on their own.

Hope to see more of you on the forum.

My thought is this, if she's asking them to call a bf dad that wouldn't be right.
If she's making them call his mom grandma that's not right either.
The time I wouldn't see anything really wrong with them calling her grandma is if that was something that just evolved from them having a good relationship with her. Lots of kids have numerous "grandmas" and "grandpas" , just not a forced thing.

Yeah...make that 3 here...not a very conscientious thing to do on her part..

Btw, Welcome to the forum, Storm.

Hi All,

thanks for all the input.... Life does get hard...

My ex has my kids call his girlfriend Namma. I absolutely hate it. But it's better than them calling her Mom, which I wouldn't put past him. I have told my children to be obedient while they are in his home. I don't like to hear them talk about Namma, but I try to listen because I want to hear what's going on in my kids lives.

But yes, a grandparent is a precious thing. Not everybody gets called Grandma.

And yet, there is nothing you can do about what goes on in the other home. Drives me bonkers all the things my ex will do. But I can't control his home.
