My sisters husband died less than a year ago and she has two young kids, and I learned today that she has moved her family in with her new man, who has about four kids of his own, and her kids already call him dad (continued in comments)

And they call their own dad who died by his first name now. I told my friend about it and he said that it wasn’t a big deal, but I can’t help but feel upset by the whole situation

Damn even as a member of the Dead Dad Club myself, I still refer to him as my father or bio dad.

i lost my dad when i was 16 and this is unimaginable to me. the kids don’t know any better, but their mother shouldn’t be allowing that. they can call two people dad.

Tbh it could be that the young kids are looking for a bit of security in their lives and don’t understand that they can have two individuals to call dad. Idk

Plus it’s been five years and my stepdad (who I do just call Dad sometimes) had already been around for about eight (my parents were divorced long before my father passed).
