A character is taken in by a Parental Substitute of some sort, usually of a more permanent variety such as an official foster parent or step-parent, and they're considering calling them "mom" or "dad" despite the lack of biological connection. Agreeing to call them "mom" or "dad" will lead to a perceived level of closeness than simply calling them by their first name, but also may lead to the protagonist feeling like they're shunning their birth parents, who are definitely not the person raising them. It typically causes the protagonist tons of angst and is a handy device for exploring the familial dynamics between the characters. This can also sometimes happen with estranged biological parents who have recently re-entered their kid's life. Compare/Contrast You're Not My Father/Mother, Happily Adopted, Parental Title Characterization, You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious. May be related to lingering feelings from a Parent with New Paramour situation. |

In Young Souls, the twin protagonists were adopted recently as teens. In the beginning of the game, the player has a choice whether they should refer to their adopted father as "dad" or not, and the "he's not actually our dad" dynamic comes up over the course of the game. By the end, they call him "dad" without player input, showing that they finally accept their role in the family. | |

A variant on Gilmore Girls—Rory's dad has been somewhat flighty in his involvement, and now she's meeting his parents for the first time since she was a baby. Right before they come in, she wonders what she's supposed to call them—Grandma and Grandpa? Mr. and Mrs. Hayden? Their first names? It doesn't really matter since it turns out they're disinclined to like her no matter what she tries. | |

Kutner from House had his parents killed in front of him when he was six, and then was adopted by a wealthy family. Given the circumstances, they're understanding that he prefers to call them by their names and don't push the subject. Eventually, after a couple of years, he started referring to them as "Mom and Dad" and even changed his last name. | |

According to supplementary material in Lyrical Nanoha, it took a while before Fate could comfortably call Lindy "mother" instead of just "Lindy". Reflection (taking place about six months after her adoption) has this as a minor subplot, and she manages to make the switch after Lindy saves her from Levi's Coup de Grâce. | |

In one episode, he admits to thinking of her as his mom, which she finds sweet; he asks if she'd like him to actually call her "Mom," and after a moment of thought, Roseanne quips that she'd rather hear her own kids call her "Mrs. Conner." | |

A retroactive version of this occurs with Yang in RWBY. Yang's biological mother Raven ran off when she was a baby, leaving her step-mother Summer as the only mom she's ever known. She didn't know that Ruby wasn't her full sister until after Summer had died. When talking to Blake about her in Volume 2, she refers to Summer as "our mom". But by Volume 5, she's reverted to exclusively calling Summer "Ruby's mom" and refers to Raven as her mother. Though the case could be made that Yang is making a deliberate distinction between her mother, Raven, who gave birth to her, and her mom, Summer, who loved and cared for her. | |

In a now-deleted The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan / Winx Club crossover fic, Anne Chan was so close to her deceased mother that she refuses to call her stepmother her mother and even screams at Layla for accidentally referring to her as such. In the previous crossover, a sign that Alan was under the enemy's control was him accidentally saying "mom" instead of his stepmother's first name. (Though another Chan Clan fic also explains that Scooter and Mimi are the only ones who call her "mom" due to the rest being old enough to remember their birth mother.) | |

He won't let her call him "Daddy," tries to teach her to say "Rabbit," and is annoyed at first when she calls him "Rabby." But before long he becomes attached to the nickname, and in the sequel episode "A Bird in the Hand," he's dismayed when Kessie comes back all grown up and now calls him "Rabbit." | |

Oddly enough, her brother Charles Wallace calls her that too, but after some Time Traveling adventures switches to her childhood nickname, Beezie. | |

Averted in Sons of Anarchy. When we meet Jax and Clay, it is clear that Clay has been married to Jax's mother, Gemma, for many years. However, despite the fact that Clay often calls Jax "son", Jax always refers to Clay by his name. It's possibly due to the fact that by the series' timeline of when JT, Jax's biological father, died, Jax was already a teenager and had known Clay for years as JT's best friend. Later, when Jax and Clay are more often at cross purposes, Jax begins to correct people when they refer to Clay as his father and he explicitly tells Clay to stop calling him "son." | |

In the Sofia the First Pilot Movie Once Upon a Princess, Sofia struggles with how to address her new stepfather. She starts off with "Your majesty," but he requests that she call him his name—Roland—or at least "You with the crown," or (hopefully) "Dad." By the end of the movie, she's adjusted better to palace life and her new family and starts calling him "Dad." Roland's biological children, Amber and James, call their stepmother "Mother" and "Mom," respectively. | |

The Sarah Jane Adventures: Luke is very quick to call Sarah Jane "Mum", but she asks him not to because she's new to the whole parenting thing and isn't quite ready for that level of closeness. They get over it by the end of the second serial and she's "Mum" to Luke for the rest of the series. Luke's Suspiciously Similar Substitute/adopted sister Sky, on the other hand, calls Sarah Jane by her first name. The series was canceled due to the untimely death of the lead actress before it could be further explored as to why. In the serial "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith", before Luke meets Peter Dalton (Sarah Jane's boyfriend) for the first time, he wonders if he is going to call Peter "dad". We never see what he decides to call Peter, due to the wedding's... interruption... at the hands of the Tenth Doctor, and Peter's subsequent death. |

Although, Jamie is her biological father, she's spent nearly her entire life believing she was Frank Randall's daughter, both in name and blood. She and Frank were very close and even thinking of Jamie as her father makes her feel disloyal, but simultaneously she feels disrespectful calling Jamie by his name when he is her biological father. Since she called Frank "daddy", they settle on her calling Jamie "Da". | |

They eventually ask his permission to call him Dad, which he gives (even before he officially adopts them). They explicitly do not call him Papa, which was their name for their biological father. Later in the series, when Drummond remarries, Arnold and Willis (and Kimberly, too) refer to Maggie by her given name, even though she is their stepmother. (The only one that gets the term "mama" is Arnold and Willis' biological mother.) Maggie's son, Sam, always addresses Drummond as "Mr. D," even though he is now his stepfather. |

In The Dragon Prince, it's clear that Callum and his stepfather, King Harrow, think of each other as family, but neither seems quite able to spit it out, and Callum addresses him as "My King" or "the King," which his half-brother Ezran even comments on. He actually does call out "Dad!" just before Harrow is murdered. | |

In When Marnie Was There, Anna calls her foster mother "auntie". She began addressing her this way due to a belief that her mother was simply using her for money. Towards the end, she addresses her as "mother" after realizing that her family doesn't take care of her just for the foster care money. | |

Strangely averted in The Good Place. After Jason marries Janet, he has no problem referring to Michael as "Dad", despite the fact that a) Michael is opposed to the marriage due to Janet having been made to essentially be Siri in human form, and b) he is not Janet's father, as she has no parents. | |

Meanwhile, Sanya has visions of his long-dead real father. Near the end when Toljan is being taken away to jail. Sanya runs after the prison van, saying "Daddy! Don't leave us!" The voiceover reflects that after that, Sanya never saw the vision of his real father again, because he had "betrayed him." | |

The Brady Bunch: Greg, Peter, and Bobby call their stepmother, Carol, "Mom" immediately; likewise with Marcia, Jan and Cindy, they address stepfather Mike as "Dad." (Indeed, the concept of stepmother and stepfather was downplayed, only referred to in a couple of episodes during the first season, and by the end of that first season, it's as though they had always known Mike and Carol as "Mom" and "Dad.") | |

In BitLife, if one of your character's parents re-marries, the game will ask you how you want your character to refer to their new step-parent.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Fanfic sometimes take on the issue of how Twilight and Spike view each other. It is a sort of Parent/Sibling/Assistant relation. Official material seems to have settled on "Assistant" and he calls her "Twilight" in-show, though several episodes show that Twilight is the closest thing to a mother that he has. In fanfic just about anything goes. Twilight was mentored by princess Celestia during her youth. As such it is a common topic to explore just what their relation is. Mentor/student? Second mother figure? Princess/Subject? Friend? That Twilight herself got a promotion to princess doesn't make things easier. A few fanfictions featuring Rainbow Dash adopting Scootaloo have brought up this question. Though often there Scoots sticks with calling Rainbow Dash by name. |

Shaun of the Dead has the recurring line, "He's not my dad, he's my stepdad" from Shaun about his stepfather Phillip. It stems from Shaun viewing Phillip as a Jerkass, rather than the Jerk with a Heart of Gold he is.

Zigzagged and done subtly in Major. Goro easily takes to accept his kindergarten teacher Momoko as his new mother when his father Shigeharu becomes engaged to her, without feeling he's disrespecting his late biological mother's memory. After Shigeharu dies, and Momoko marries his best friend and former teammate Hideki Shigeno, it's clear that Goro loves both his father and step-father (even taking the latter's surname), though the way he adresses each of them (he calls Shigeharu "otosan", which is a midly formal way to call a father, while he calls Hideki "oyaji", which straddles the line between being affectionate and disrespectful) suggests he has slightly more respect for Shigeharu. | |

Digimon Frontier: The episode focusing on Kouji's backstory reveals that his father remarried and, while his stepmother has been very kind to him, he has trouble referring to her as "Mom". Things get even more complicated when Kouji learns from Koichi (still as Duskmon) that they're twin brothers and their biological mother isn't dead as he had thought. At the end of the series, however, he accepts his stepmom and gives her a bouquet of flowers as a gift, while later visiting his biological mom with Koichi during their first birthday after they come back from the Digital World. | |

In Turning Tables, when Pepper adopts Peter, he is upfront about how he does not intend on calling her "mom". She respects that as long as he acknowledges that she is his guardian. Over time, however, he resorts to calling her "mom" to make it easier on Morgan, who is an infant and only knows her as "mom". As they grow closer, Peter starts to address her as "mom", if not as a habit. | |

They show her pictures of John and she recognizes him as dada when he is found and brought home. In the sequel, "Reclamation," a psychiatrist tells the couple to find a new designation as John takes his place as the baby's father. The Honorary Uncle thing doesn't work, though, and they end up remaining Mama Joanne and Papa Roy. | |

In The LEGO Batman Movie, Bruce Wayne accidentally adopts Dick Grayson, with Batman sharing custody as his co-dad. (Yeah, Dick actually bought this.) He uses a string of "Dad" words that Batman continually rebuffs, but eventually allows "Padre," since he thinks it can also mean "buddy." (Presumably he's mixing it up with "compadre.") Of course, near the end: | |
