The adults in these situations should focus on the kids instead of being immature and selfish by making a big deal about something trivial like a name.
At one time I was the wicked stepfather. I told the kids they could call me by my first name. That made their mother nervous because she wanted the kids to show adults respect.
So, instead of calling me "a-hole", the kids called me "Mr. a-hole". That was okay with the mother but it made me nervous. I always thought "Mr. a-hole" was my father.....

I couldn't imagine marrying someone with kids that young

I guess trying to rope in a man was more of a priority than settling into motherhood and not bring strange men into her young kids' lives. There's a names for those kinds of women......needy and desperate.

My son calls his step-dad "Dad", but hey what can you do. I pay child support and private school for him, lol big daddy pays all the bills. But the other guy is an ok dude and treats my son right. I look at that he has four parents who love him very much. But I also instilled in my son that he call my wife "Mommy". It also helps that his last name is mine and my wife's and we have his only sibling.

There can be more than one Dad but only one father.

Why can't she call them both paw-paw? Both my grandparents are paw to me. Since they are hardly ever at the same location, it's not very confusing.
Sorry for the bump. Just saw this.
She just didn't want to. I'm not going to logic my daughter into something she's very emotional about. She's very aware that she has a new family and her other family. She's completely free to discuss whatever she wants about them and call whomever whatever.

This was mainly about woman making their kids call their boyfriend/husband "dad" when they're not the biological dad. It's kind of makes them look needy and desperate.

That's a completely different scenario if the kid doesn't have a Dad. We're talking about a divorce and the Mom remarrying and having the kid call the stepdad Dad
She'll always have a dad. That's how that works. Regardless of how much of a scumbag the bio dad is, he's always her father and she doesn't ever let us forget that. Not every in a mean way, though.
Again, if she's making the kid do something that's another story. But if the kid is now living with this new guy and feels like calling this person dad "as well", then get over it. It's not like there is only one spot in that kids life for a father, especially in this day and age.

OP is edited, but wasn't it talking about a fiance (or fiancee, whatever it is)?

If my son calls another man dad, I better be dead.

Only if he's ok with me fricking my baby mama when I want to. You make my son call you daddy, I frick your wife. That's the rule.
