That doesn’t always work if their real mom is involved in their lives.
It also doesn’t work if the step kids are resentful that they have a step mom.

She was saying that their real mom should just be mom, not bio-mom. She wasn't saying a step-mother should be called mom.

This.
One of the reasons that mothers have a hard time with stepmother is because even while meaning stepmother is trying to reduce the mom to a different kind of title. She’s the mom. We are the stepmom. Simple and easy.

I hear that. To the kids directly and other people irl I say "your mom" or "their mom" (e.g. "we have a quiet Shabbos because dh's kids are going away with their mom") but I guess when I'm doing theoretical conversations like this one I sort of automatically go for maximum clarification. But I hear your point, never put that much thought into it and now I get it.
