I'm a full time working dad, married with 2 daughters, my eldest is not strickly biologically my daughter altho she didn't know that up until the last 6 months!

I met my wife 6 years ago and she had a 1 year old daughter, she soon started calling me 'Dad' which felt awesome as I was the only father figure in her life. Since 8 weeks old she had never saw her biological father and from what I can gather he has never bothered to try and make contact/see her?

Me and my wife had the youngest 4 years ago and got married 3 years ago. We have always tried explaining to the eldest about the youngest child having mine and mummy's blood but she (the eldest) doesn't have my blood and we'll the penny dropped about 6 months ago, we explained Mummy was with another man before we (mummy and eldest) met Daddy and she has 2 daddy's. Her comment back was 'i only want 1 Daddy, I don't want to know the other man'. She has yet to of mentioned anything else at all about it and we have carried on as normal..

This has made me feel like Superman but I know there is a downhill path along the route in time to come!

Hi there and welcome πŸ™‚

As long as you give her plenty of love and reassurance about how special she is, hopefully there won't be any insurmountable problems in the future. I think you should leave it for the time being and only talk about it when she brings the subject up.

Best of luck going forward.
