Hi guys,
I just want a few opinions about how I handled this please. Dh and I got married earlier this year, and the next morning dsd sweetly announced 'now I can call you mummy!' So so sweet and I know how lucky I an to have a good relationship with her. But they lost her mum when she was 3, and we try very hard to keep her memory alive for my dsd. I feel as though being called mummy would not only confuse dsd, but would be hurtful for dh and her grandparents to hear. I suggested another name such as 'mum'. But now I'm worried that dsd may have felt pushed away or like I was distancing myself from her.
Sorry for the long post! Any thoughts or advice would be great!
