S1.E19. “I’m Your Dad, Too!”: Child says mom wants him to call stepfather “Dad”

Co-Parent Dilemmas

A listener in Vancouver shares a concern about his 4-year-old being encouraged to call his step-father "Dad" and wants to know if he should correct this or talk to his co-parent about teaching their child that he only has one "Dad." Diane and Rick discuss both sides of this issue and when to let it go and when it is appropriate to address it with the other parent.
