Dp has 2dc, as do I, none together. My dc spend EOW with their dad, and address dp by his name despite being quite young, tis has never been an issue at all, we all get along ok mostly and they have good relationships with their dad and my dp.
Dp's ex and her new partner of a year are encouraging the children to call him dad, and my dp daddy. Her new partner has his own children so I really don't understand why they are putting such pressure on the children to do this. Dp's son will constantly refer to the new partner as dad even though we have very gently explained that he has one daddy, it's all very upsetting for every one dp's DD said tonight that he won't answer them unless they say dad? Dp is really hour over this and I don't have a clue how to Handle it.....any advice?
