Is there an official name for my daughters relationship to my boyfriend?
My partner and i have been together for four years and are not married. We have a son together, and everyone is happy with the arrangement. Except (probably because of the new arrival) my daughter from a previous relationship, who lives with us. She has become confused by who my boyfriend is to her. She needs a "name" like "mum" or "brother", an appropriate title for him other than "step-dad". Is there a word for this relationship? It is soo important to kids of her age(7) to know where they stand in terms of explaining relations, with titles. We'd also like to know who her father is in relation to my son? Confusing huh!? Poor little dear... Please help us! Thankyou!
