Any of you guys have step children? Do they call you dad/mom or your name?

I got married to a woman with a child already, known him since he was four, he's Bout to be 10 in a few weeks. I have 2 kids wit her and expecting a third. He calls me by my name and that's fine, I don't want to put pressure on him and make him call me Dad, it would be nice though.



Any thoughts on this?

    I have a stepdad.

    My real dad disappeared since I was an infant so I call him Dad.

    im a stepchild..

    my pops been in my life since i was 2.. and he has 2kids wit my moms.. i call him by his name but i refer to him as my dad.. if that makes any sense..

    im also raising a 14yr old who iv been around since he was 7.. he calls me dad when we're out to ? me off... dont be callin me that ? ! hahaha

    one time this lady swore he looked jus like me.. we both looked at each other and laughed..

    my father wasnt in my life until i got older.. but i always knew i had a father.. and regardless of the situation im apart of him and he was apart of me... as i kid i didnt know how to articulate that point.. but as an adult i understand and would never try to be that wit my girl's son.. regardless how we feel about his dad thats still his dad..

    u gotta jus accept it and respect it..

    My step dad got together with my mom when i was 6. Prolly started calling him dad when i was 9 at my moms request. It eventually just stuck. We never really got a long though lol. We're civil with eachother.

    what is your relationship like with him? what is his relationship like with his birth father?

    do you treat him as you do your birth children?

    how does your extended family treat him?

    I'm ? with this woman right now who has kids. Personally, I'm not letting any kid call me dad if their real dad is in the picture in any shape form or fashion.

    @BOSSExcellence...you're raising a 14 yr old as your son? Why do you get mad when he calls you Dad in public?

    Makes sense because when he talks to my other kids, he says Daddy wants you or Daddy said stop and when he's talking to his friends, he's like there's my Dad when I pick him up from school...

    @BOSSExcellence

    Everybody thinks he's mine anyways because he's my color LOL

    his Dad is full black, I'm half black and white my wife is Mexican so my kids are kinda light except him...people also say he looks like me...? don't look ? like me, he don't look like his mama neither...he looks like his real Dad.

    My daughter has always called my bf by his first name, he was around her at 3 and she's now close to 8.

    I think it might come down to you having a talk with him. Maybe if he knows you want him to call you dad he'll be happy to hear it.

    Is his biological dad in the picture?

    I do treat him like my own...he might think that I'm a little harder on him but it's only cause he's older. But his biological Dad is not in the picture. He saw him as an infant for like 30 mins, then at 2 for a little bit.. but the last time he saw him was when he was 4 and my son didn't even want to spend the night wit him.

    But my parents treat him like he's their Grandson too..especially my Pops because he came into my life when I was 15 and I got 2 little sisters and they call him Dad.

    Haha shiiit. I remember when my parents were gonna get married my mom came downstairs and asked if I wanted to change my name to the dudes last name. I said hell nah, thats when she asked if I could atleast call him dad and she gave me some guilt trip on how hes providing for me and I aint ever gonna see my bio dad again (which I knew, we left him) so i said ? it, sure.

    My step dads a great guy, but his personality and my personality just do not get along at all. We grew up completely different and he would try pushing that ? on me and i would fight him for it. 40% of the reason for me not changing my name though was because his last name is Hintermeister. Lol German ? .
