My (26f) dad got married a few years ago to Kaylee. They don’t really have the best relationship but to each their own. Kaylee has been trying to get me and my brother to call her a more endearing name. She told us to give her a nickname, and then she suggested we call her “mom”, mind you our mom is very much alive and we have an amazing relationship with her. She then complained to us that when we visit them we seem to only want to spend time with our dad, more than we do with her (they live in a different country). Last night we went to get some coffee and she began to complain that we never want to be with her, and that we don’t love her even though we are her children (her words) I told her we that we do love her, but she isn’t and will never be our mom.

Now she isn’t speaking to me and is sulking around the house and I’m wondering if I went too far. So AITA?

Edit: thank you all for your replies, the nicknames you came up with made me and my brother laugh so hard. And for everyone asking she is in her late thirties.
