absolutely

they only have one mother and one father and those are the people who should get those titles

if i re-marry, i think the kids can call him by his first name and i would expect the same if their father remarried

Should be up to the child,if after a time they feel like calling them that then its up to them,there are paternal parents and real parents.A paternal one makes the child ,a real parent raises a child and guides them,no matter who or what the circumstances imho..

I will never have that problem, my kids refuse to call their father by anything other than his first name. He deserted them and do not recognize that they even have a father.

I called my step-father "dad" he raised me and deserved the title... My son's called their step-mother mom b/c my ex insisted on it.. THAT I think is wrong.. If the children feel that close to someone they should have the choice.. but on the other hand if the real parent is in their life and a good parent, they typically don't want to call anyone else mom or dad...
