Is it bad that my step daughter calls me mom?

It’s only wrong to the ex. When she gets older, your (step)daughter will make it clear to all of you whom she considers her mom to be. I don’t think she’s old enough to understand “when she’s around call me by my first name.” I hope this works out well for you, and that the ex doesn’t brainwash the child too badly.
My husband also had full custody of his 3 children when we got married. One died young, but the other 2 still call me Mom. They even has me listed as their mother on facebook - AND their birth-mom is on their friends’ lists. It’s not the word they call you that makes the difference, it’s how they hold you in their hearts.
