I'm 31 years old and my wife is 24. We have 4 children with twins. Have been married for 6 yrs.
My wife has 3 sisters and a brother. One of the sisters and brother are married. My other two sister in laws are 17 & 15 yrs and they have been living with us for the past six years.
I treat my two sister in laws as my own daughters and they call me dad and I'm fine with that. My wife's parents died when they were 3 & 5 yrs. They've been living with us for 6 yrs and they have called me dad all this time. My wife's happy about it and says I'm great.
I treat them like my own daughters from my heart and have done everything to them including all expenses. I've bought two houses for them, for their marriage. They say that I am like their own dad and kiss me.When I married they were 9 & 11 and from then they have been kissing me Is it okay for them to kiss me in a FATHER DAUGHTER WAY ONLY on the cheek and calling me dad? My wife says she's happy when they kiss me and treat me like a dad

I'm glad you clarified "in a father daughter way'.
Sure it is. You have been a great 'father' to them and deserve all the perks of fatherhood. Your old lady did good when she found you. Your wife and kids and extended family are blessed.
Every once and a while you get a real good question on here that isn't a load of BS or a cry for attention. This is one.

Does it bother you in some way? Do you feel like it takes away from the memory of their biological father? Do you feel too young to be their dad?
Frankly, at the age they came to know you, they would be well aware that you are not their biological father. It's not like you stole their affections.
Different cultures have different ways of treating elders (parents) and maybe through these traditions and genuine love and respect, they have decided that you are their Dad. Maybe they need a Dad, and if they've decided that you are good enough to be theirs, accept it graciously.

I kiss my dad, why wouldn't they kiss you as their "father figure". I'd be sure it is appropriate, sounds like you are worried about appearances? Sounds like you and your wife have done an admiral thing here, keep up the good work.

it is ok.
you have been their "father" and you are fulfilling that part of their lives.
it would be unnatural to have no display of affection.
it's part of their growing up to have a dependable male in their lives, and it gives them a reference point.
however, if at any time you begin to feel uncomfortable my opinion is that the sisters-in-law are old enough to begin to mature emotionally.
There is no reason why you can't tell your wife that you wish to step back from that contact if your privacy needs are being disrupted.

If it makes your wife happy sure why not. My best bet is that they've been missing that father figure since their parents died. Don't worry about it man.

They obviously think of you as their dad, if you feel comfortable with it, everyone feels comfortable with it and IT IS only paternal than by all means. Many cultures kiss mere friends on the cheek as well.
Feel blessed as I hope these "daughters" feel blessed.

This is perfectly all right. the only people who would have a problem with it are the kind who are not comfortable in their own skin and think the worst of everyone. Enjoy your life and your fatherhood.

Sure why not! Showing love and appreciation to one another are good things. But are you okay with that though?

i'm guessing since everyone around you, including your wife, thinks it's okay that you are having some impure thoughts! if you are, or you don't think it's appropriate then avoid it.
