DP's exW walked out on my now DP 3 1/2 years ago because she was screwing someone else and got pregnant within a month of leaving (she has now married the father of her 3rd child). We've been away for Half Term and found out from DSS1 that DP's exW insists that DSS1 & 2 call her new husband "Dad" when they are at her house which has really annoyed and upset me.
I got together with DP 18 months ago, and I'm now 6 months pg with my 1st DC. I have never pushed for DP's 2 DSs to call me anything than my my first name (they have known me for over 3 years) and have always said that it is the boys decision what they call me. We've started discussing the "Mum" subject with the boys because of the impending baby, but I still stick to the "it's their decision to make" if only because I don't want to force them into anything they wouldn't be comfortable with.
So to come back to my issue. AIBU to be upset about her making the boys call her husband "Dad" when I believe that it should be their choice?
