I posted another question like this a minute ago, but I didn't really say what I am having a big problem with. My youngest stepdaughter seems very confused by the whole REAL DAD/STEPDAD thing. She calls her stepfather who she lives with DAD and calls my husband her stepdad. Numerous family members have heard her say this. They have tried to explain the difference to her, but either she is not understanding or the mom and stepdad are telling her different. My 10 yr old son has tried to tell her in kids terms what he difference is, but she just said to him "Well he (stepdad) was there when I was born, so he is my dad" (MY husband and his ex split up when she was still pregnant and she didn't call him when she went into labor or gave birth, instead allowing her new man the stepdad to be in the delivery room. He has no children of his own, and seems to think of this child as his) My husband has tried to explain it to her, but she still hasn't stopped calling him my his name.
