So my DDs have know my DH since they were 2, they're now 9, we've all been living together as family for 3 yrs and he and I have been married for 2. Let's say they call their SF "Bob".
They see "daddy" every other weekend and have a good relationship with him. DH and I are expecting our first in September and DCs are worried about whether they could keep calling him "Bob" if the LO will eventually call him "Daddy". They don't want to shove Daddy 1 out of the picture but they want to recognise Bob as a real-ish daddy and not want to be different from the LO. Daddy 1 has said he doesn't mind if Bob is also called Daddy but the girls don't like the idea of it.
Any suggestions? This must have come up before as a thread so apologies for re hashing. Many thanks
