1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: All right, Steve, this is from DeAndre on Steve HARVFM. 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: DeAndre says, I'm seventeen years old and my mother just 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: got remarried. Now I don't have a problem with her 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: new husband. However, he is insisting that I call him dad. 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: I have a dad already. I love my pops and 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: he is very involved in my life. I don't think 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: it's cool that I'm being asked to put my real 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: dad to the side. How do I tell Dad number 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: two to chill out? 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: Well, well, listen to this man. I understand what you're saying. 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: And the advantage that you have is you have a 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: great relationship with your father. Oftentimes that's not the case. 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: So you are very very fortunate that even though it 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 2: didn't work out between your parents, your father is still 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: very much in your life. That's a great thing. Yes, 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: there's no problem, but remember this and you say you 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: don't have. 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: A problem with him. 19 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: A lot of times when you blend in a family, 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: what the confusion comes in as the kids is you 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: know you can actually love two people. You can and 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: it's okay to love two people. If this new husband 23 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: is being good to you and treating you family, then 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: just had the best relationship you can with him, and 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: you always have a relationship with your father, because you 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: just said you have a great relationship with him, so 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: good kudos to that, But kudos to the man that 28 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: also steps in to take in the space of gaps, 29 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: because a lot of men who step into women's lives 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: who have children, they deserve a plaque for doing that. 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: So it could be an advantage to have these two 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: men in your life. If I was you, I can 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: understand you. It's not saying that's not your dad. What 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: what's the alternative? What do you want to call him? 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: What you want to call him Roger, something like this, 36 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: you know, or you could just call him something, give 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: him a secondary name, a title like a pop or 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: something like that, or. 39 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 3: You know something. 40 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: You know that wouldn't hurt you know, I mean, I 41 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 2: understand the guy wants to hurt really well, you ain't 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: gotta call him dad. 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 3: Dad means a lot, Yeah, it really. Dad is more 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: than father, Yes it is. I said. Oftentimes any man 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 3: can be a father. 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: That's all you gotta do is make the donation to 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: the egg and you become a father. 48 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 3: Take a special man to be a dad. 49 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: All right, we have time for another one, Steve, thank 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: you for that.
