Good morning Kerry..I'm gonna put in my two cents on the daddy dearest thing...
there could be many reasons why they are calling him daddy..the biggest may be that the X is requiring them to call him that and that would make a small child feel like they are in the middle I'm sure and that they have no choice...she may be doing that to
1. piss you off 2. due to some cultural thing 3. or she may be having them call him that as a respect type thing instead of calling him by his name...
..bottom line these two kids are smart..they are smart because their real dad teaches them real life type things...so they will always know who their real dad is..
you're a good dad Kerry..I can see it on your kids faces..I can see it in the pictures..
when it's all said and done the kids will call him what they want to...
4. they want to present themselves in public as more of a complete family instead of just a sugar daddy and gold digger with kids.
Yes, they are perceptive. I remember an instance a few months ago at the bible school section of a church for Nyleen's girl scout meeting. Neil was reading the kid version of the ten commandments poster on the wall and mentioned that his mom had violated the "faithful spouse" law. One of the girl scout leaders jaw dropped.

I knew I left one out...
I think it's sad...I think it's sad for the kids...IMHO..the kids should decide what they want to call him, and all should be satisfied with that...as long as what they call him is respectful...it's almost like recent discussions I've had about what a grandparent should be called...
my grandchild can call me what he/she wants...I don't have a preference..for a name...My former MIL informed all of us before Caleigh was born that Caleigh would call her MiMi...so..as soon as Caleigh was born that's what happened...
I never could refer to her as MiMi...I did call her a "bitch" one time.. ...
like I said..they know who thee daddy is...he's a cool guy, who's funny as hell, who takes them on great adventures and teaches them, spends time with them and shows them what the real world is all about..
What is the deal with granmothers wanting to be called somethiong else then grandma? I guess they feel old when they are called granny....MIMI? my MIL was MAMI....I think I may have also been disrespectful once but she was drunk and abnoxious...and she deserved it.... :-) It may have been on new year's eve .... oh how I love to reminisce.
Well, I don't want to sound disrespectful ... but this will probably come out wrong.
Uno, I am not (ie. never ever ever) getting married again. secondo, my present girlfriend lost her mom at an early age and her dad lives in Portugal....so, no inlaws for me this holiday season.
Her thoughts? I think she is of the same opinion as I am. Basically, I do not need a piece of paper to be committed. Today, it is just as easy to get divorced or to split up, therefore, why bother. Sorry, I am a little cynical. To be truthfull, D9 was the reason I got married. So she could have parents who were husband and wife in the eyes of the courts.

Good thing the keyboard on my laptop already died. This is classic and as for my opinion, it's well known that I'm an insane maniac. Just ask the XW.
Happy New Year all, it's video games and cookies with the kiddos.
