My fiances ex wants our children to attend their half siblings party: Advice?

My daughter has 3 step siblings who she sees every weekend, I don’t understand the thought process of not wanting them to see them. They attended my engagement party and I even invited their mums; regardless of anything they share a dad and ensuring my daughter knows her siblings is very important!! Shouldnt limit your child based on insecurities about their mother.

I think his ex is a star! being very responsible and putting aside the past to make sure her children see their little brother! More people should be like her! You sound like you’re a little jealous?? You are marrying this guy so wether you like it or not you are going to be those Childrens step mother. If You didn’t want this situation well shouldn’t of have a child with someone who already has them. He came as a package!

My ex husband was with another woman quickly after we separated. They had a child together. They broke up and he remarried a different woman had another child with her. Myself and his 2nd baby mama are great friends and see each other as often as finances allow as we are states away. We see it as the best interest of the kids as I have 3 and she has 1. Half siblings or full siblings children have a right to know their siblings. We don’t differentiate the half from whole regardless of how much they are siblings and it just means they have more people to love and more people for them to love!

Ew it sounds like you’re spiteful and jealous… I have 3 half siblings and only 1 sibling that shares both the same mom and dad as me. I’d be pissed if they were referred to as “half sibling”. Your child deserves to know other siblings and create bonds with them. Sounds like you’re just worried and jealous. Not a good look.

There’s no such thing as “1/2 siblings” in the eyes of children. If you were not prepared to be an adult about situations like this… you shouldn’t have got with a man that already had kids.

Of course they should be a part of each others lives! They are siblings!

Wtf? Does your husband not have joint or any custody of his kids? Your child is never around his siblings? So confused.
My daughter criessss when her siblings have to go their moms - couldn’t imagine this situation. :worried:

Stop thinking about yourself and let the kids enjoy their half siblings

I mean i need more info… My baby will only know one of bio dads other kids(she doesnt know her bio dad as her dad)… But that was after i tried to include her in the other kids lives and they kept bringing their kids in and out of her life. And i didn’t want that for her.

For me it would depends on my relationship with the ex and the relationships my kid had with her and their siblings. Also, it would depend on her parenting style and lifestyle.

They will be in his/her life so why not? Pick your battles.
Don’t deprive your child of love and friendship. If there’s more to the story that’s one thing but if there’s no red flags, and they will be interacting no matter what, what’s the harm? Your child will love you no matter what. Being inclusive will only help
Them.

I have 5 daughters with 4 different dads. You can bet your hiney all my girls all know eachother and refer to eachother as sisters, whether they have different dads makes zero difference. Your situation is no different, just that you only have one child, but your man has 3.

They are their siblings. Hell, my daughter has a step-sister through my fiance and every time she doesn’t get to see her it breaks both them girls hearts. Cause his ex is selfish. Don’t hurt your children cause your selfish. Its their sibling!!! they will be there their whole life even after your gone. Now if the ex is a not good person then maybe you need to go with and or just make sure you make time to also have those kids attend something. If they are your fiance’s kids… They are yours too and if you dont feel that way you shouldn’t be with someone with kids… jsin. I have two that i birthed and two that i didnt. They are ALL my baby girls.

If she hasn’t given you a reason not to trust her I’d give her the chance to include your baby. I’m not saying hand it off and come back but show up together as a family and once they’re older explain they’re half siblings

What the fuck is wrong with you? This woman is trying to bridge a gap, and create a family still. My oldest two children are from a long term relationship, and my two youngest are from my current partner, and no matter what that’s their Sister and Brother, period. My younger children absolutely love their older sister, and brother. They’re all very close. You don’t get to choose. Why would you want to separate them? I’m completely boggled by this question. I think that you are jealous of the ex, because why else would you want to separate the SIBLINGS. “Half” doesn’t count for shit. There really is something wrong with you. If you have an issue with this woman take it up with your fiance (who will probably be your ex if you don’t grow up), and the ex.

Just because they aren’t together and you have a baby also by him doesn’t mean there has to be hate or anger or resentment… it’s better for the kids and everyone involved if you learn to coparent and support each other. Go to every game(if in sports), school stuff, bday parties together and be civil… who knows just bc they didn’t work out doesn’t mean you all can’t be “friends” and get along

Yes it would be wrong. Why? Because kids should know their siblings. My kids love their siblings. They aren’t half, they aren’t step or anything, they are siblings. My youngest son has two siblings, one of each sex on his dads side, my middle son has none that we know of, and my oldest son has 3 sisters.

If they are siblings they are siblings. You can’t change that. Fuck half siblings. That’s their brother/sister. Get tf over yourself and let those babies know each other.

Wtf kind of question is this??? Half sibling or full siblings they are biologically siblings and should be treated as so. Keeping your said child away from their siblings and you not wanting or having a relationship with his other children is disgusting!!! I’m a mom of 4! 2 of them happen to be my step children but in my book they are my children as well. Their mother is very active in my boys lives and we are a perfect blended family. I think this is very shameful on your behalf and to call them their half sibling. Stop thinking about yourself and do it for your child

You’re wrong to keep that child away from their siblings bc you have baby momma issues. You cant be mad or mean to the kids he shot out his penis before you met him girl. It’s only going to make you look bad when your kid grows up and finds out they missed out on relationships with siblings bc you wanted to be petty.

Siblings are siblings there is no half about it. They need to have healthy relationships with eachother. Even if that means you tag along to the party with him befriend your babies siblings mother get to know her.

I’m choosing to believe OP was board and was like what kinda stupid ass question can I submit to rattle the people on the inter webs. Because there is no way someone is this ridiculous.

My kids were always welcome with the half siblings n step siblings. That’s family! Yes they should b encouraged 2 interact n have a relationship. They r siblings after all.

I dont know the situation or any details but In general yes the baby deserves to know its siblings. Your fiance deserves to see his kids.

Is this seriously a question. Why would you go out of your way to not co parent and have a healthy co parenting relationship with your bfs kids mother? That is wrong on so many levels. You should feel absolutely grateful she feels that way about your children. She could not acknowledge them period. I’ve seen posts where children weren’t even aloud to say they’re new siblings name or call them brother/sister. What would you be intimately losing by allowing this? Maybe you should ask to attend as well
And help with whatever you can.

More family the better. It will give all of the children more support and love. The only time I would be worried is if the ex is a toxic person who has physically or mentally hurt your partner or their kids. No one knows the full story, or day to day, but if there are not any red flags that seem troubling to you then get the kids together. It’s up to you no one should shame you for asking a question!

Omg really? That is your kids half siblings… so sister and brother… why wouldn’t you want them to be together… are you bitter over babymama. Yall gonna have to get over that.

Your child needs to know their siblings. But if my baby was going I would be the one to take the baby. It’s best for everyone to get along.

Let that baby around his siblings! If you dont feel 100% comfortable of her being around your baby yet go to the party so your little has a change to bond with his siblings! I promise you if you try to keep that baby from his siblings he is gonna resent you when he gets older.

You have emotional wounds surrounding this. Do not project them onto your child and fiance. A child definitely deserves the right to be involved with their FAMILY.

I agree with Jessica

It’s not about you, it’s about the babies , give them that opportunity to bond and be siblings , or they will end up hating you for keeping them apart.

Think it depends on “baby’s” age; also, they may NOT get along, but you should at least give it a whirl.

Why would you want to keep them apart? They are siblings! I dont get that at all.

Its selfish not to let children get to know their half brothers and sisters

All these children are the innocent siblings. Let them know each other

You sound like a bitch!! In my family their is NO half. I think it is wrong and it would make me sad if I were any of them kids.

Whyy? Do you have something against her? Did she do something really really bad to you or your family? Is she dangerous? Or are you just insecure?

Family’s Family! Doesn’t matter if they’re half, adopted, or blended! Love them just the same!

It could back fire on you when your kids older, if you don’t understand that your kids problems are not yours, your not mature enough to be a parent.

Dang woman!! Really?? There all siblings. Even if there half.

Does his kids not spend anytime with him? You are about to be the step mother to his kids, you don’t want them around? Send the kids off to meet their siblings lord knows they don’t need to be exposed to your petty behavior!

It’s not about you, its about your kids. They should have the chance to get to know THEIR FAMILY whether you’re uncomfortable with it or not. If your kid decides they don’t want to be apart of it, that’s their decision to make, not yours.

As a person who has two “half” sisters this pisses me off. Nothing made me madder growing up than hearing someone call my SISTERS my half siblings. Like wtf is a half sibling they only half a person or some? Sound like this person is just a selfish jealous b*tch! Your children a right to know their other SIBLINGS. If you would have had kids before him would you “expose” him to his “half” siblings🙄
