With little family history to go by, one Redditer questioned the choice, asking if the little girl's biological mother was still in the picture, and if she is, then he shouldn't let his daughter call his girlfriend mum.

?"Letting your daughter call your gf mum is undermining her relationship with her real mum," he suggested.
"Obviously there are exceptions, but as general m rule of thumb a significant other shouldn't be put forward as a replacement for their real mum/dad."
Another Redditer agreed, adding, "I don't think many mums would be totally cool with that. Yes to the amazing bond they share but mum is กญ mum."?
