My spouse and I are on good terms. We remain married. She is a 50 yo cis woman and I am a 50 yo trans woman. We have a 13-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son together and we all live in the same roof.
I got an interesting request from both of my kids. They both came to me and said they want to celebrate both of their moms this Mother’s Day and not celebrate Father’s Day.
I was touched by this and found it be very affirming as they have chosen to refer to me as MommaJ and their birth parent as MommaB. This is of their own choosing, and I’m absolutely delighted to carry that honor with me.
My question is, what do you all think of this? Do you think that I’m going to take something away from their birth mother by celebrating together? We really haven’t talked about celebrating both of us on Mother’s Day and I plan to. I just kind of wanted to get this groups take on it first and then I also want to see if anyone else celebrates like this.
My wife’s been incredible to me for the last three years my transition and I really don’t wanna subject her to any form of perceived slight though I seriously doubt she’ll have any concerns based on her prior actions.
Any comments or thoughts to be appreciated!
