Its a retcon from Season 1 where she mentioned on 3 occasions having a mother and father, never mentioned 2 dads. The reason why she magically has 2 dads now is because of the Good Luck Charlie writers also wrote a lesbian couple into that show now they want to force the blank agenda everywhere it doesn't belong
I know. I was hoping that it was just a comedic effect goof for 1 episode. But she mentioned it again in Doggie Daddy. So not sure if they are going the GLC route with this yet or not, but it sure looks that way
Years ago, (back in more innocent times) there was a show called "my two dads". But they were not a gay couple. It was something like a biological dad and the step dad or something because the mom had died. If they made that show today, I bet they would go gay!
Actually, the premise of MY TWO DADS was that Nicole's mother never knew which of the two men was her father, so both decided to raise her together. So much more morally acceptable--not knowing which of the two guys you were sleeping with at the time got you pregnant out of wedlock--than a gay couple raising a child.
"Actually, the premise of MY TWO DADS was that Nicole's mother never knew which of the two men was her father, so both decided to raise her together."
Yup, this was a few years before DNA testing was perfected so at the time, the way to prove paternity was through a blood test. In the show, the blood tests proved inconclusive as both men had the same blood type as the girl, so not knowing who was the biological father, the two men raised her together. They were like the Odd Couple with a daughter.
What about like that show, My Two Dads. Two former friends had fallen for the same woman in college. It broke up their friendship. The woman left them. Twelve or thirteen years later, the men appear in a judges office. The judge told them their college girlfriend had died and left them both custody of her daughter. The guys managed to patch things up and raise her together.
She did, and her mom forced her into child and teen beauty pageants as revealed in "Fireman Freddy's Spaghetti Station."
The problem here isn't the fact that her parents are gay men, but that it's emphasized a little too much. It was like after Ellen DeGeneres came out of the closet, and her character came out a week later. The rest of the series was less about being funny.

I don't see it as a retcon because everyone has at least one mother who contributed the egg and at least one mother who contributed the womb for nine months (who are usually the same person, of course).
And of course the number of persons who a child considers to have functioned as her mother (or father) depends on sociological factors, not biology.
So it is possible that Delia lives with her mother and her mother's current husband and her mother's former husband is also present in her life and helps raise her.
Thus Delia could speak of her mother and her two (or more) dads without necessarily implying anything you might consider bizzare.
I also note that a teenage girl might POSSIBLY make jokes about her family situation designed to weird out her listeners.
I also note that it is POSSIBLE for someone to be nicknamed "Dads".
So it is POSSIBLE, repeat POSSIBLE, that the writers are not trying to retcon the series or irritate anyone by having Delia mention her dads.

"My Two dads" is PLURAL, not a nickname. It IS a retcon, Stop defending it, Good luck charlie had one episode centered around a gay couple and mentioned at least 2 others that I can think of during that series run.
I didnt do it is now written by two of those pro LGBT writers.
Seriously dude, stop. She had JUST a MOM and DAD in season one, magically she has 2 dads because according to TV writers the weird character always has to have gay somebody
