I'm a single mama to a 5 year old son. I really brought this up to my son on Father's day last year.
I told him that we don't have a daddy in our family - just us! Since we don't have a dad, I'm his mom and his dad.
He doesn't seemed fazed by it. He tells people all that time that I'm his mom and his dad. He calls me dad occasionally. We do get funny looks in public.
So far, I did have to explain a little to one other kid - I told that kid the same thing I told me son - we don't have a daddy - just me - I'm both. He replied with "I have 2 - a mom and a dad" and never gave it another thought!
