[QUOTE="donna723, post: 601264, member: 1883"] DDD, I totally get it. My brothers two little grandsons that live with them call him "Daddy" too, even though they both know he's really their grandfather. They may have gotten it from hearing their mom call him "Daddy". Their bio-dad is a total loser, abusive and irresponsible and totally selfish. My niece finally left him when she was pregnant with the youngest one and came back to live with her parents. The little one is now four and bio-dad has seen him exactly once - in the hospital right after he was born. He refused to pay child support until he had to choose between paying or sitting in the county jail! Both kids are way better off without him in their lives. So my brother has been the only father figure in their lives, the only male role model they have ever had, and somewhere along the line, they both started calling him "Daddy". They finally gave up trying to get them to call him something else. But in this case, he WILL be a permanent fixture in their lives, he's not going anywhere ... not the same thing as a child looking to a temporary boyfriend or SO as a father figure. They can be an influence in a child's life, hopefully a good one, just not a "Daddy". [/QUOTE]
