Several years ago, I posted an online form to collect your responses about what your kids call you. The results keep coming in, which is wonderful. Here’s what I’ve discovered-with help from many of you. Sometimes it’s for informational purposes-as when a teacher needs to know how to refer to you-sometimes it’s just nosy, as if the person can’t imagine how having two moms doesn’t confuse a kid. Chances are, if you’re a parent in a same-sex relationship, you’ve been asked What do your kids call you?” If you’re a prospective parent, you may have asked it of yourself.
