A couple days ago i came out to my mom and stepdad as transmasc and they say that they accept me and will always love me but they still dont call me by my preferred name and pronouns and haven’t brought it up again. I want them to call me my preferred name and pronouns but it took a lot for me to come out in the first place. What should i do?

It’s a good start that they at least say they accept you and didn’t react badly but it’s also not good that they’ve completely ignored your preferred name and pronouns
Have you tried asking them to use use your preferred name? (it’s probably the only thing u can do in this situation)
If you haven’t I recommend asking them one on one, like while driving somewhere
