What do kids of lesbian and gay parents call them?
What about all you lesbian moms and gay dads out there? What do you use? Add to comments below.

my daughter calls me mom and my wife ama….as long as she has parents who love her doesn’t matter what she calls us though
I have been with my wife before our twins were born, when they arrived we talked it over and i suggested mama Jo since wife is biologicly Mom. plus I have alot of So called Extended children whom all call me Mama Jo so it made total sense
I don’t have kids yet, but I think I’d either like for them to call us “Mama [name]“, or, because my partner is Japanese, maybe I will be mom and she will be haha or okaasan.
Our kids call their biological mother “mommy” and me “mama”. As they are getting older you can tell by the tone of their voice who they are talking to if they say Mom.
Our daughter call her biological Mother Mum, and she calls me Erin
I don’t have a partner at present, but if I did and she, or we, had kids, I think Auntie Thea would suit me fine.
I am the birth parent of a 26, 25, 22 year old. I get called the following by Emily, marmeer, by Peter, Alice, by Alexander, Darling. They call Liz mom # 2, mom, Tilly, or Liz. Now we are also grandparents of a 3 year old girl. I am GiGi and Liz is MiMi. If we both get Hey Mom we can tell by the tone who wants whom.
Hope this helps.
We are french and our son calls us “Maman et belle-maman” that means “Mom (me the biological mother) and Stepmom (my wife)”.
Our kids call their biological mom “Mommy” and Me “Mama”. As they get older they have started to shorten it to Mom. We can usually tell by the tone of their voice which one of us they are talking to. We love it!
I dont have kids yet. I think it is better to refer to the moms as, ”Mom Liz” and ”Mom Leah”, if their moms names are Liz and Leah.
My girl calls me mom and my butch daddy
Our 13 year son, made his own names for us when he was about 2 years old. I am Momo and my partner is Mommy. He has a donor daddy and partner and they are Daddy and Poppy.

We are tswana and my daughter calls me Mama and has always called me that. She calls my wife Mane ( Auntie).
I raised foster kids with my partner…I was Mama T and she was Mom Kat. When it came to mothers’ day and fathers’ day, we referred to those days as Parents Day in our home…
