Question for female (cis or trans) parents, whose co-parent is also female (cis or trans).

I'm a transwoman, and my wife is cis. We have two kids. When I initially transitioned, we all agreed that I'd still be 'dad'. This is now awkward and uncomfortable for all four of us, so we need something new. Mom, Mama, Mommy, etc are off the table, because that's my wife. We all agree strongly on that.

Suggestions?
