My 5year old so has recently been asking my partner (of 10months) to be his dad, he's now mentioned it a few times and has been telling people it's his dad and quite openly telling us after it! I know this is a sweet thing and there's a huge compliment in there for my partner but how do I handle this? I've tried to speak to him but he just looked at me so innocently and told me he says it cos he really wants him to be his dad!

It's a lovely compliment 
You could chat with ds though about how we can have special adults in our lives who don't have a title like mum or dad or auntie or whatever. I guess it depends on the situation with his birth father too. What about suggesting 'daddy first name' as in there's daddy (birth dad) then there's daddy Dave (dp)
