He would only call him 'Dad' if that was how he was presented to him. If you call your friend by his name, then your son will also.

If you don't mind this guy being the father figure in your sons life and you plan on him being around for a long time I wouldn't see a problem with it.. Its up to you.

My son is only 11 months so anyone male is considered dada to him... heck he even calls his grandma dada sometimes! Smile

He is still young, when he gets older you can explain to him about his real dad. No one will ever replace his real father, as long as you talk about him and tell him about him often then there will always be a place for hhis 'real' dad and his 'dad' john..

My stepson is 9 and he's starting to call me Mom. His 'mom' died when he was 4. He knew she wasn't his birth mom, but still called her that. He keeps telling Earl to be nice to me because I'm his future mommy (he thinks it only counts if we are married Very Happy)

Your pregnant with his kid but not a couple? You may want to rethink your friendship with this guy.
