I lied a little

I recently posted statements to the effect that there is no other term in common usage that is the equivalent of "recycled dad."

This turns out to be inaccurate, or at least an exaggeration. I have since discovered a few synonymous phrases that get pretty good search results. The best -- that is, the one with the most relevant matches --  is "do-over dad." Has a nice ring, doesn't it?

Other strings that got some results: "start-over dad" and "second-time-around dad."

Future posts will reveal some of the content that these searches turned up. Meanwhile, feel free to do your own searches on these and similar phrases. I'll be curious to know which specific terms you used and what you found online.
