Question is anyone else single/not with the baby's father but the father is actively involved in the child's life? If so, when you moved on to someone dependable who is willing to see your hold as his own how did you go about the introduction? If you're married to him now how does your child or children address him? Dad? I haven't found anyone and am not looking but this question crosses my mind a lot. My son loves his father and I love that but I know our journey is over. Idk when it would be appropriate to introduce the two etc
Let your child decide what to call your significant other.
Growing up, my first step dad told mom to let us call him whatever, at first he was Mr. Alan. He became daddy Alan though. When they divorced and she started dating a new guy, it was hell.
We'd get put in time out, grounded or even spanked if we didn't call him dad. By him! Mom knew and was so "in love" she went along with it. That man NEVER had our respect and to this day I hate him!
Thankfully she left him and went back to my daddy alan!
My boyfriends daughters refer to me as Ms.Krista. I told them you can call me whatever as long as it is respectful. For now, its Ms.Krista, they ever choose to call me momma krista or something else I would let them.
As for introductuons, to the kids, baby this is my boy/girl friend ms/mr. name.
To the kids other parent, hey, I have been seeing someone I want you to meet them so you can know who is around your child, when would be a good time?
Thank you so much
