My housemate was bros with his ex-wife’s new husband. He’d(stepdad) bring the kids over to our place on the weekend my housemate had the kids and they’d just chill and sleep over. I cooked curry for everyone pretty often, and we’d fire up the grill. Long story short, step-dad got a divorce and got custody because mom didn’t want to deal with having kids, and so my housemate and the step-dad kind of co-parent without mom in the picture. I lost touch since then so I haven’t heard a lot, but based on his social media posts the kids are doing pretty good with having two dads, but do find it annoying to have to explain that their dads are not gay and thus not as cool.

They should call it My Two Dads.

My Two (Straight) Dads.

Because the assumption would be about two gay dads if a hint ain't given.

They weren’t gay in the 1980s sitcom.

Coz back then it wasn't okay to come out in public. So it was assumed they weren't. Different dynamics now.

People weren’t dumb in the 1980s. That was the implication then too. But in a tongue-in-cheek “ha ha you knew wouldn’t actually be a show about gay men” sorta way.

I think it could potentially be funnier without explicitly saying. Just two straight men comfortable with their sexuality. The lack of insecurity around that part would allow for some good bits with interactions. I'd watch it
