For someone who is not a mother to be called one so lightly is more than insulting to those of us who are actually mothers. I especially take more offense to it because I lost Christina. Yes I have Emily now and I consider her my daughter, but there is a difference between being called mother because you have raised a child for the whole of their life and being called mother because you looked after a child for a short period of time when the Seal was having its fun. Even if the name is meant in a playful manner, it is still greatly insulting.

Perhaps I am letting this bother me too much, but anything regarding mothers or children will always strike a nerve with me. No matter how long I will have Emily, that does not change the fact I lost Christina, and it takes far more than a two week babysitting job to be considered a mother.

I do apologize for this, but it irritates me. And I figured expressing such things was better than simply keeping them to myself and letting them fester inside me.
