Ex teaching daughter to call the step-dad “dad”. Thoughts?
Posted on 7/26/26 at 9:28 pm

Title pretty much says it all. Little girl is 3 and has made one too many references to “mommy and daddy” so I asked my ex what she has her call her step-dad. She claims she allows her to call him “dad” to avoid confusion. I think that answer is clearly bullshite, and would create more confusion for my daughter. I made this very clear, but I also think it’s pathetic that my ex and him have put my daughter into an emotional tug of war when they could have easily told her to call him something else.
Her responses in person and via text have danced around the topic and consisted of irrelevant bullshite. At the end of the day, I’m still seeing her once a week and every other weekend, so I can’t force them to fix this situation and be amenable to my wants. I guess her being a whore wasn’t enough punishment for me
Anybody dealt with this type of fun?

What a bitch.
Only thing you can do is communicate your boundaries to your ex wife and then be very clear with your daughter as she grows up that you are her father.
I would also assume your ex has plans or at least dreams of cutting you out of the picture. Be on guard for everything.

I’m sure she does. Thankfully I’m not a POS that has drug problems or issues with the law and I’m not abusive, so I don’t see this happening.

Trashy. And if the guy is OK with it, he's trashy too. Stay heavily involved and be you. She knows who dad really is. Don't sweat it.

You have a three year old biological child who has a stepfather????
If that’s the case, many bad decisions were made by you as well as the mother. I’m not sure why you would expect anything but more bad decisions.
EDIT not trying to be an arsehole, but people need to be more discerning with who they choose to create a life.

Yes, that’s pretty cold, and stupid on her part. If she wants what’s best for her daughter she should want you to be involved in your daughter’s life and get along well. There’s room for a stepdad too. He should be called pop pop or something like that.

Seems like she needs another mommy

I read that title 5 times and tried to figure out what an “ex teaching daughter” was. I got it now.

I wouldn't worry about it, Trough Urinal. I'm sure you're a stand up guy and it will all work out.

I can see why you would think that, but rest assured, she walked out on me for a coworker. He was married too.

That is really disgusting. I agree that she’s trying to push you out of the picture.
Are you not in an area where 50/50 is common?

I think he’s implying that you chose poorly.
Unbelievable that you get to see her so little considering the circumstances. That’s terrible.
I’m sorry baw. Terrible situation you are in. But I think that people have given you good advice. Don’t trash the wife. Stand above all that. Your daughter will understand and see the cream rises to the top.

You chose poorly.
Also you had kid, got divorced, and she got remarried inside of 3 years? That sure is a tight timeline.

I thought he had an estranged daughter who was a retired teacher at first.

I’m going through it right now…although I am not sure if my kids call the new boy toy dad or not.
I ensure my kids that I am their Dad (daddy) and no one could ever love them as much as I do… it’s heart breaking.

So there is one more person in this baby’s life that makes bad decisions.
Again, why are you shocked this is going sideways?? You knocked up some woman who within a matter of 2, 3 years leaves you for a married man and now you’re worried about who the baby calls Daddy??

I can take her back to court on that in due time. I don’t think I have the time available to successfully have 50-50. Work keeps me busy.
