Would you be a play mum or play dad for someone who didn’t grow up with a mother or father 🤔?

[JoyGirl]

Play Mum ~ Someone who takes the place of ones actually mother, who has not been present in a persons life.

Play Dad ~ Someone who takes the place of ones actually father, who has not been present in a persons life.

Well, would ya be one? 🤔

[NathanDavis]

I would adopt, yes...

but I've actually been co-parenting my niece, not because of absent parents but the fact that both of her parents work and schedules do clash and all, so... since I can have an office at my home, it all works out well like that

so she just has a few parenting figures in her life, my parents included

[ArtemisSilver]

I could fill that role in the right situation, but a big brother or senpai role would be more straightforward.

I suppose if I were entering an LTR with a woman who has kids and an uninvolved father I might do that, but it would have to be a for a pretty amazing woman.

[Agape93]

Nope. I have no maternal instincts nor a desire to raise someone's kid.

[Ms_Facesitter]

No. How will they respect you if you didn't even bring them up?

[humanearth]

I did, I call him My Son and he is not of my loins

Anyone can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a daddy

[humanearth]

I raised him age of 6 months old and he is 24 now

I have a nephew whose father died when he was 5. He spent a lot of time with us when he was rowing up.

[Sparkie460]

Yes I'd be a mentor to a child without a father figure.

[motownplayer2000]

I wouldn’t be a “play” anything. If they looked up to me like a father figure I would do my best to help them out. But I’m not responsible for them unless I legally sign up to be.

[Juxtapose]

have been in a mentor/teacher role before in my dojo and my last girlfriend called me "daddy" so it wouldn't be too unusual for me.

[MysticDevice]

If I had no choice I most likely would. But I'd like to avoid that situation if possible

[clampfan101]

As in actual adoption or a very close family friend? (Yes for either.)

[KrakenAttackin]

And they are an adult? That's weird,. infantile, shit.

[SnowedIn]

Of course; happy to.

[dustybiker]

If they wanted and needed one.

[kinggeorge007]

No, in fact I don't like kids

[Mark987]

Yes of course I have... I love kids

[EaterPeter]

I did not knew if this is a thing

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[EaterPeter]

Does this happen?

[EaterPeter]

Well it does but where?

[EaterPeter]

I am in O'Fallon, IL, US

[Guardian45]

If mean a stepfather. I was one!

[Jerre]

Depending on her age, I would be a Play Dad

[Jerre]

Thank you for the Like

[Anonymous]

[DJB72]

[TallAnon]

Nope
