She’s Been Letting Her Fiancé’s Kids Call Her Mom, But Once His Ex Heard About This, She Flipped Out In Front Of The Kids

A few months ago, this woman moved in with her 28-year-old fiancé and his 2 children. He has a 3-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter, and the kids are with them for half of the time and with their biological mom for the other half of the time.
She has met her fiancé’s ex and the mom of his kids in real life, and she never once has had a problem with her.
Around 2 or 3 months back, her fiancé’s daughter would occasionally call her “momma” or “mom.”
Her fiancé’s daughter would mostly say this to her when she was helping tuck her into bed for the evening.
“It was an odd adjustment, but I know they’re little, and I mostly brushed it off with an “okay, goodnight, hunny,” she explained.
As for her fiancé’s son, he only referred to her as mom if his sister did, which was obvious to her that he was only trying to imitate what his sister was doing.
Then, a month back, her fiancé’s daughter finally asked her if it was alright to refer to her as mom. Until then, her fiancé’s children had only called her by her first name, and her fiancé has only called her his “special friend” to them, since they are not married.
She was pleasantly shocked when her fiancé’s daughter made it clear that she wanted to call her mom, so she and her fiancé said to the kids it was alright if they felt comfortable with it.
Although her fiancé’s kids are quite little, they do get that they did not come from her stomach, even though they are calling her mom now.

Pretty recently, she and her fiancé did go to drop his kids off with his ex, and she sat in the car while this all happened.
When she and her fiancé were driving home, his ex called them and then began absolutely flipping out.
“She starts off aggressively, stating, “I don’t know who’s telling these kids that [me] is their mom, but you need to know you will never be their mom, etc., etc.,” she said.
“I told her that the kids chose to call me mom, and we explained to them that I’m not their real mom, just an extra mom. She still did not like that and went on about how it hurts her feelings that the kids are saying she isn’t their mom anymore and all this nonsense.”
“I got firm quickly and explained that I understand why it would hurt her feelings, but I don’t believe what she’s saying because of what I have heard the kids themselves say. I allow the kids to call me mom because they see me as a maternal figure, and it’s about how they feel, not your (her) insecurities.”
Then his ex began screaming at her and calling her and her fiancé names, and she was doing this right in front of the kids.
The screaming got so out of control that she stopped being able to decipher what was actually being said on the other end of the phone.
After the kids came home from spending time with their biological mom, they were quite sad and stated that their mom told them that she is not allowed to be their mom too.
She asked the kids if they wanted her to be their second mom though, and they said that they did.
She made it clear to the kids that if they really wanted her to fulfill this role, she can do this, no matter what their biological mom tried to say.
“My heart breaks because these kids really seem to love me, and I do love them,” she continued.
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to allow them to refer to her as their mom, even though she technically isn’t.
