I just want to spend a great day with my girlfriend and her kid, whether it be at home watching movies or at a park playing with balls and kites, or at the waters edge with rods at our side, pliers in one hand, fish in the other.

Hey there DrownedDesertRat,
My stepdad was a better dad than my natural dad could have ever been or wanted to be. Stepdad is gone now but a visit would be cool.
If he doesn't 'show up', I guess it would be a visit from my adult kids as they live in Japan.
You may be more of a dad than you think... in some states... by being a 'dad', a certain period of time, makes you financially responsible! Oh yes.... it is true!

The same thing I asked for at Christmas time, a shiny new bass boat with two big honkin' engines. I don't suspect I'll get it this time either, maybe I should ask for something more in our price range, like a dozen night crawlers.
Seriously, I'm hoping for a wallet , in which I can put pictures of my daughter and I fishing, when she's old enough to go (she's 3 months old now). I'll probably get some lures from the in-laws too.

I really don't offer much "dad" support financially. It's more emotional support. He doesn't consider me his dad. Yesterday at the park I was helping him fly his kite (first day ever for him to fly one). A couple of his friends came and asked if I was his dad. He answered, "Joe's my pretend dad. My real dad is Rob." Thing is, he hardly ever sees his real dad and when he does, his real dad spends little to no time with him. He even switches jobs and moves every time the courts take money out of his paychecks for child support.
I wish he had more of a roll in Duncan's life. I know what it's like to have a dad that you love and miss that hardly has anything to do with you. At least my birth dad spent every moment possible with my brother and I when he'd pick us up and take us to his area for a week.
