: Re: Why use quotes on the word "Dad" when talking to someone? If a step-father is texting his step daughter and he writes: Maybe your "dad" can step up and take the dog What's meant

There is a difference between a dad and a dad.

Your quote comes from the step father, so it is likely that he (and possibly his step daughter too) only see the other dad as the biological producer, but not as father as it is in a family.

Placing dad in "" is a debasement from father as part of the family to father as the producer of a child.
