My wife and I have know each other for 2 and a half years. We got married 8 months ago. When we met, she had 2 kids, ages 1 yr. and 5 months. They are now 4 and 3. We had our first child together last year and he's now 1 yr and 5 months. He has recently started talking and calls me Da-da because my wife addresses me as such to him. The step-kids were calling me by my first name, now they have started to call me Daddy. I am not comfortable with this, but I let it go on for a while. Now I've expressed that I want them to call me by my first name and she doesn't agree. She says that if they call me by my first name, then my son will have to also. Is this fair? I don't want anyone to feel better than the other. It would be wrong to have 2 kids calling me by my first name and my son calling me Dad. I'm thinking that would cause resentment between them in the future. Any suggestions? Also......their father does not play any role in their lives since they've been born.
