Reply To: What Should My Daughter Call Me?

[Anne Preuss]

I voted for something else.  I think you should discuss this with your daughter.  9 year olds are very perceptive for their age.   Since “mom” may cause too much conflict, it’s up to you and her to figure out a compromise.  This may but likely won’t happen with the first discussion about coming up with a name.  You need to give it a little time but stay with it and make it a daily topic to bring up until the two of you come up with something that is nice and appropriate for her to refer to you as.
