DD called SO Daddy the other day

He took it really well, and told me he doesn't mind being a father figure to her as he plans to be with me for a very long time, wants to get married/be a family in the future. He just said he's worried that she will resent him when she gets older and realizes he's not her real dad. I did not encourage DD to call him daddy. I said "Nooo, that's S" and we moved on. I just felt kind of embarrassed because I don't want people thinking I taught her to call him that or anything. I assume she learned it at daycare seeing other kids being picked up by their fathers, or maybe hearing me call my father Dad.

"There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."
This.
A friend in elementary school (and still a friend, actually) called her step-dad "Pop." I always liked it. It wasn't weird for anyone, and she never felt resentment toward her step-dad or her biological father, for that matter.
