Tbh… your childish af for even considering not allowing your son to know his siblings. My husband’s and I have 2 daughters. Nd he has a daughter with another lady before us… I dont refer to her as “their half sibling” that’s their sister and that’s that.
That would be like me not allowing my son to meet his 3 brothers all because his sperm donor is a jackass
Let him know his siblings
Don’t let her take your baby you take it
Are you kidding? Of course your kids should know their siblings and will eventually resent you for being the reason they dont.
Normally I get pissed when people are rude to posters but this question is out of line and so are you, lady
Dont keep the kid from family. Half sibling or not. In a personal stance, i can 100% say that not knowing your siblings is a piss off. Im now 23, with 4 younger siblings. And guess what?! I dont know them at all. I know their names that is it. And i hate my father and their mothers for that. I never knew them growing up. They dont even know i exist. From my perspective. Dont do that to your kid of your kids siblings. “Half” or not those kids are his sisters/brothers
Really selfish to keep them away. My kids are half siblings and they’re OBSESSED with each other. They don’t even know the words “half brother” I’m shocked as a mom you’d think that was ok
It’d be selfish of you not to
… no halves and steps… be a civil adult and let your child have a relationship with their siblings.
I’m confused ? U don’t want your baby around them but don’t they come to the house for visitation with the father?? I can understand u not wanting to be around her but if she’s normal and not crazy why not try.
This is seriously a post?? Your denying the children of the man you supposedly want to spend your life with… I think there needs to be some growing up before you get married in my opinion. My child has “half” siblings I sadly don’t get to let him meet… NOT by being petty. One is out of state and no longer in the custody of either parent due to a whole mess of problems and the other child I chat with the mother here and there but idk if we’ll ever meet… if she would, then I’m all for it. It isn’t the children fault your man had a life prior to you, so grow up. Period. There is no half about it and she’s being mature at respecting you guys so GROW UP.
I feel like every sibling should be able to know eachother. When we as their parents are gone one day, they will only have eachother. My 2 kids have 2 older half sisters and they only get to know 1 unfortunately. It makes my son sad he hasn’t gotten to meet her.
I myself have 2 half sisters, they are twins, 13 yrs older than me, but we are sisters, no half about it.
As long as no one is mean or hurting anyone all siblings deserve to know one another as best as possible.
I know it’s hard, but work on a relationship with their mom as well as the other siblings, kids deserve as much love as they can be given. I love my step daughters to death, I only get to be in ones life, but my love for each of them is unlimited. I’ve been working for the past 10 yrs on a relationship with her mother, it’s been ok and it’s been pretty ugly, but as the years have passed and we have all gotten older, you realize what’s important. Family no matter if it’s half or not, family is family.
Good luck to you, I wish you the very best, hang in there, be strong, and do what’s good for those kiddos!
Some people would kill to have that kind of co parenting relationship with their SO’s ex. Just think about that. Don’t deny your child a chance to know his siblings.
They are siblings it is childish of you to not be an adult and think bout the kids … cuz ummm he had a life before you sis! Grow up be kind to her and she should be kind to you. Not saying y’all got to be friends but y’all are raising his children it takes a village. Don’t be hateful it is ugly. No reason. People need to not be mad at exes or new wives man! Y’all are moms and they have a dad.
I have 5 half siblings from 2 different women and I cannot imagine what my life would be growing up without them!!!
This is a sickening post. You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking this way. Very selfish on your behalf. I hope your fiancé doesn’t agree to this, because it’s just so absurd.
Yes… that’s wrong for you to withhold family from your child.
Depends if she’s a bitch. I personally wouldn’t unless I knew nothing would happen to my child
Not sure why you wouldn’t want them to have a good relationship? My daughter sees her half siblings, step siblings, while siblings, all of them. There’s 3 biological moms involved in my situation and we all get along and the kids love each other and I find it selfish that a mother wouldn’t want that for her children.
Let them siblings see each other! Me an my brother have 2 younger siblings an we have different dads, our step dad is there dad. My little sister an brother are NOT my half siblings they ARE my siblings!! Just because there mom isn’t in the picture anymore, they should still get too see the baby.
Wtf is a “half” either they’re siblings or they’re not
Um, thats his siblings so yes you want them around! There is no half or step…they are family!!
Ummm yes the child should go.
I am the oldest out of 6 and every single one of are half siblings. You are very in the wrong. I could not imagine having siblings and not knowing them. My youngest siblings come and spend holidays with me now that I am 28 and they are 13 and 16
I would not have her personally take my child. If you are invited then yes go. If you are not invited no I would not.
My husband has a child from a previous relationship and we also have 2 of our own. I would NEVER keep my kids from having a relationship with their SISTER. No half’s here, we’re family. And the fact that their mother wants to include them in things, you should be happy. Grow up. Stop being childish and obviously insecure.
I don’t understand. That’s your baby’s sibling…why would you want to keep them from your baby
I’m shocked that you dont want your baby to know his/her siblings. I feel like it would be different if you didnt want baby around the other mom but that isnt what was stated. You are doing more harm than good. I hope you learn to put that baby first and soon.
Why don’t YOU or the father take them to the party … If that makes you more comfortable…
Those are his siblings. Why is this even a question.
This is so wrong. How could you keep your kid from their siblings!?
Let the baby grow up to know the siblings. It’s wrong to keep them apart in my opinion
That being said the relationship should be between all of you not just have her take your baby…that part is a bit weird
That shouldnt even be a question of course they should go it’s their sibling! And I’m sure they would love to have their baby brother there! It kind of makes me angry that you wouldnt want that. Just go with if that makes you more comfortable. I wish I had that kind of relationship with my ex.
I hope you read these comments, cuz I think we all agree, the children are siblings & deserve to knw & grow together. If you decide to keep them apart, it could be hurtful to you later when they can make choices on their own. They could blame you for not letting them see each other growing up & I don’t think you want that.
She doesn’t have to take your child. But you should be ok with your child knowing who his family is. That includes siblings from his dad.
I have 7siblings only two are full. I attended every party I could. I feel everyone should have a chance to grow up with their siblings… half or not. As long as it’s a safe environment.
What the actual fuck
It takes time to grow into that thought and be comfortable with it. Take your time, remain transparent to your partner and as wonderful as it sounds, you need to be ok with it first. So dnt rush the process and it’s ok to say no. No one is living your life to understand how you feel or what goes on behind closed doors. Eventually you will figure it out
Put it this way. There are 13 siblings in my dads family (yes huge) almost all are half only a few are full but never has anyone ever even mentioned the word half. That’s a bad word in our family. Siblings are siblings.
Wow. Get out your feelings. That is their blood and not yours.
I think thesiblings should know one another. However if you’re nervous due to the baby being new, or just don’t trust her, Than do it slowly. Hang out and talk to her though. Communicate.
And that being said, I get your hesitation. But this isn’t about you. It’s about your child…
Just think of it that way.
Keep the peace.
You should absolutely want them in their siblings life.
Attend the party too.
It’s family. Make it work for the kids.
Is this a real question??
Clearly there’s some growing up you need to do.
Thats fucked yo you should want your kids in there life weather half sibling or not !
My very best friend is my half sister. I was raised in California she was raised in Florida. I still call her every day, visit her every year, and love her very much. She’s my best friend. Take them to the party. Be nice. Be the bigger person.
Half? People still refer to them as that? Siblings are siblings. They still share DNA. They are siblings regardless. You are selfish if you don’t let them grow up and associate together.
Am I the only one who doesn’t like the term half siblings? To me if we are brother and sister that’s it no need to add the half part when describing a childs sibling.
Damn for this to even be a question! Yes, they’re still related woman so keep them close & get out of your feelings.
What? Whatever bad blood it seems you have for her needs to be put to the side when it comes to the kids. I can’t even believe this is a question. I honestly feel like this was a troll post for attention, because this can’t be real, and how does the father feel about you trying to put a wedge between his kids? And why would you not what them to have a bond. At the end of the day when we as parents are gone all they will have is there family. Why would you want to rob your child of that relationship and future family to come with neices and nephews? Im sorry but you are down right selfish.
Why would you keep your kid from their brothers or sisters? You’re selfish if you try to keep them apart
Atleast you’re lucky enough to have someone that doesnt want them to be apart and she is being civil by inviting you and the baby. REMEMBER THIS ISNT ABOUT YOU OR HER ANYMORE IT IS ABOUT THE KIDS ALWAYS
If she’s toxic it’s natural to want to protect your child but don’t take it out on the kids. They deserve to know each other.
Kids are kids.Let them mingle and either grow to love each other or not.Its really not your decision.
Ummm, YES the kids should know who their brothers/sisters are… It is wrong of you. If you are with a man who had children before he was with you, and then you not wanting your child to know his children…UMMM WHAT?
Remove yourself and your opinion of her from your equation. And think about your child, that’s their sibling. My three “half” siblings technically I never even consider them that, we share a parent that’s my brothers and sister. Best friends of my life.
I share a son with my husband and he has 3 siblings. I believe in them knowing each other. They are siblings half so that question is pretty stupid. Family is family
What kind of person doesnt let their child know their siblings? In our family we dont do half or step. Its ridiculous.
Your baby is a part of his child now you are with him become part of him and his family! You have no idea how this will work against you. Take a break and figure out how you can be a part of family or a whiny angry person teaching your child your way
I’d let them go. In fact, I DO let my kids go to their half siblings birthdays and such. Their half siblings, however, aren’t allowed at my kids parties and stuff and I think its bullshit.
Yes you’re wrong. Kids dont give a damn about ‘half’. They are brothers and sisters. Grow up, get over yourself and let your kids know their siblings
Tf. My son has met all FOUR of his siblings.
Sounds like you got lucky. More people to love your child the better!
Kids should know their siblings but they should be seeing each other at your house? No?! If you want to go go it’s that’s easy…
yes go to the party, when the child is old enough he can decide for himself if he wants to continue to be involved in their lives
Please let your child meet their siblings.
Is this a fucking joke?! On God you shouldn’t have children…someone get cps on the phone! For fucks sake that is that baby’s SIBILING ain’t no half about it
Don’t keep those kids from there siblings but you don’t have to let HER take them. you go too
Grow up… that is all…
To deny your child the bond with his or hers siblings is truly horrific. You are so wrong on many levels.
She asked a question…not to be attacked…WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?THIS SITE IS I GUESS TO ABUSE MOMS ESPECIALLY NEW MOMS
The only person you will hurt by keeping them apart is your child. They may grow to despise that aspect of you let them be siblings like they ARE. Bitter baby mamas aren’t cool.
I wouldnt be okay with the baby momma taking any of my kids. But we all would gladly show up!
So she want to take your baby or did she invite you to take the baby.
Let them be siblings.
Is she wanting to take bubby without you??? I would definitely say I’ll be with bubby untill x age before I’m comfortable to let them attend visits without me.
Are you really that dirty that you would keep your baby away from their siblings? Ya know this post speaks volumes on your personality… those babies didn’t do anything to you, and since you’re in a relationship or married to their father know that those babies are yours now too love them and stop treating them like they don’t exist.
Those aren’t HALF siblings, they are siblings. Your kids have every right to get to know their family.
Sounds like you need to learn how to co parent.
I have half siblings but I don’t consider them to be my half. They are my siblings, I would be upset if my mom kept me away from knowing them or going to family things/birthday party’s. But I understand as a mom, you just want what’s best for your child. Why don’t you and your fiancé take your baby to the party together.
Coming from someone who has siblings with the same mom, let that baby grow up with his siblings! I have two sisters and a brother and wish I would have grown up with them!! I was an only child in my house, different dad, and I feel like I missed out on so much not having them around as much as I could have! Don’t be Petty, get over it!!
Is there a reason you don’t want them to be part of your babes life?
I cant believe this is even a question. Yes. Its very wrong of you to not want your child to be a part of his siblings lives. HALF or not, they are STILL SIBLINGS. THEY STILL SHARE BLOOD. This is very selfish of you in my opinion
Firstly: How old is your baby?
Secondly: do their kids ever come over to urs ? Caus I guess they can see the kids at home ?
Lastly: it’s their sibling you can’t keep them seperate that’s selfish
My “half sibling” whom I didnt find out about until later in life, is a huge part of my life. And if your denying your kids that out of pettiness. You kinda suck.
Seriously !!! You need to ask… its not about you …
I have 3 kids by my First Husband. And 1 with my Husband now.Kids never say this is my half Brother or half Sister. The just say this is my sister brother ect. They dont Think of them half at all. They are just like a whole Family They have always acted like that.My 3 older kids was so excited when their Brother was born.All 4 of them act like They was born in a whole family.Not Half this or half that.Normal full whole Family.Like they have the same mother and Father. Just different last names.That all.No more no less.I have a whole Family.Everybody should act like that.They just have 2 Dads.
I would feel grateful that she has reached out and is wanting to involve your child in his brothers lives. Whether half or full those are his siblings and I think they should have some kind of bond! I have two sons that are technically half siblings but we don’t use that word in our family.
I get if you aren’t comfortable sending your child without you or dad being there and that’s fine but those kids need to have some sort of relationship!
I think if the children want to see each other, do your best to make it happen for them. It’s not about yall.
Depends does the x treat you with respect?
If so, then yes. Your child should be around his 1/2 brothers and sisters .
Is this woman some kind of monster that shouldn’t be wround children? It’s hard enough the kids have to bounce between parents make this relationship great so both families can be together at times and give the kidsthe best life ever.
Yes it’s wrong of you to not want to “expose” your baby to his “half” siblings.
You’re also his baby momma. Let the child know his siblings. So weird.
I don’t think she is talking about the half siblings of the baby but the half siblings of her fiancée’s kids. The ex had kids with someone else also but has no relation to her child only to her step child.
Expose? Umm they are family. Smh.
Some of these answers are just rude. It’s honestly what you are comfortable with. Half siblings, step siblings, full siblings are all so important. I imagine most kids want to be around their siblings and even if it’s hard for you, it’s ok to say yes. Its showing all the kids that above all, family is most important and that adults can be mature and civil for the sake of their children and making sure their children make strong bonds. Also, if she just wants baby there and not you I would explain that you are more comfortable being there with your baby.
I wouldn’t let her take your baby but he should know his siblings. You should take him. But then you should be invited as well. If she doesn’t want you there then I wouldn’t blame you for not letting your baby go. When he’s older and pretty self sufficient then he can decide if he wants to spend time with them without you.
As a mother with nothing but half sibling I would say it is truly up to you being you are the mother, but… your child will love it so much better to know their brother/sister. I have two brothers and a sister (all half siblings) and I could not imagine my life without them, I love them just as much as you would a brother or sister. I feel denying your child the chance to be apart of their siblings life is kind of wrong.
I mean yes, until your child is of a certain age I would not let him go anywhere without you but let him know his family.
I totally think they should be involved… they’re siblings…
But I can understand if you don’t want their mom taking your child for things… maybe see if you and your husband can go? If it’s a party or group event…
Take the word half it if it first off. The are siblings period and yes they should be able to grow up knowing each other and able to have a good bond. My sister has a different father but she is still my sister and my youngest has had a different dad but he is still the baby brother too my other kids. Do not keep the kids away from each other.
I have half-siblings that I found out about later on in life. I never got a chance to know them, but I really wish I could have.
Are these questions real?
