She has never met her dad. And all her friends have dad's or step dad's, she has none. Also, she has no brothers or sisters. And no-one she knows has as many pets as us. She says she is happy, but not normal. She is in grade 2.
What should I say?

my daughter had the same problem. she wanted to know why she didnt have a dad and all that stuff. You need to explain to her about her dad but only if she is ready to her the truth (whatever that is). and she needs to know that normal isnt normal if you are like everyone else. tell her that she is unique and thats what makes her her. and that you love her for who she is. my daughter got over it and moved on. i think its a phase. shes only been in school for what 3 years so she is still getting to know what is outside of her home. (your daughter) just talk to her from the heart. you should have the motherly instict. GOOD LUCK

Tell her the situation is perfectly normal, she just does not know anyone in the same situation.
Get rid of some of the pets though. One or two pets is enough.

Because of the differences she find between her household and others she may think that. It ould be best to keep explaining to her taht its normal, and to also find a friend or another family with a child around her age with some or all of the similarities. good luck.

Tell her she is perfectly normal, and it is her mothers fault that you picked a father that could not be there.

Tell her that nobody is perfect, and that if she likes herself, she is perfectly normal. :)
