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

I have 4 half siblings on my moms side I grew up with them. I also have 4 half siblings from my dad that I didn’t meet until I was 15 I have bond to them because my mom was spiteful. I say let them have a bond

As long a shes isn’t mean or being rude and abusive to you or tour child that is their sibling. They should know their brothers or sisters

They aren’t “half” anything. They are siblings, period. They are family. Is there any reason you think the kid shouldn’t go to their siblings party??? Would the kids be in any danger if they go???

Take the child yourself. If she wants them to be in each other’s lives, that includes you.

My husband didnt meet his half brother until he was 60, brother 80…so many years wasted…they love eachother as if they have known eachother all their lives, but they always say the years wasted not knowing eachother…let your child know his siblings

I have 2 kids and 2 step children we do parties together mom me dad step dad all the kids :woman_shrugging:t2:. It’s about the kids and eventually you stop worrying about your feelings and start worrying about the kids cause that’s what matters.

My man’s baby momma (his daughters mother) babysits our son while we work and my son loves her and his sister he only sees that sister on weekend but lives with my kids it gives his sister some extra time with him that she wouldn’t normally get I have been with my man for over 4 years and she even considers my kids her siblings not half not step just siblings I love her as my own and that little girl will tell you her bonus mom has her back and always will

Hate it when people say baby momma :woman_facepalming:t3:

Let the fiancé take him or both of you take him to the party. He should know his siblings!

yes its not the kids fsult

Siblings should know each other. At the end of the day when they get older and ask why this or that. They’re going to have hard feelings towards you for hindering that relationship.

Jesus Christ.

I couldn’t imagine not being around my youngest brother (who is technically my “half” brother). He is my BROTHER.

Idgaf he has a different dad than my other brother & myself.

It is absolutely wrong of you. Children shouldn’t have to suffer because things didn’t work out with the parents.

Hell my daughter is having a brother this December who would technically be her “half” brother because he has a different father. But I’ll be dammed if I tell her he’s her “half” sibling. Nope. That is her BROTHER.

They are siblings. I don’t even see where the question is. Unfair to keep your child, or hers, from siblings. They deserve to know and grow up together. No matter how you feel about her, he is the father of all and they need each other, will need each other more some day.

This is my HALF sibling. I have NEVER thought of her as only half. She IS my sister, just as simple as that and if anything ever happens to her a piece of me will die with her. I think you need to get over whatever jealousy you got going on her and see the bigger picture. Those are his siblings.

Go!!! That’s there sibling and I wouldn’t feel comfortable with anyone taking my child to a birthday party or anywhere else just for the simple fact no one will watch and care for your child as you would . But if she’s being civil why not you and your husband go she’s reaching out to have yalls family blend that’s awesome.

Me and my brother have different dads. He’s not half anything he’s my brother. That’s it. That’s how it should be.

On the other hand my cousins family is very blended, my cousin has three kids - 2 with baby mamma 1 with current wife. They have shared custody of the 2 with baby mamma.
Baby mamma also takes his daughter some days that he had with his current wife because that is their sister irregardless. If my cousin and his wife need a date night or if baby mamma is taking them somewhere special.

Half or not that his SIBLING and u are wrong to no accept his other kids as ur babies sibling

Go as a family or not at all

The kids should be the top priority. Siblings are siblings and they need to know each other. If not there will be regrets when the kids get older for being a part of each others lives.

First of all wtf is a half sibling? My sister has a different dad and I have NEVER called her my half sibling nor have i ever let her think she’s only half my sister. Siblings are siblings and I can promise you if you keep them from each other they will hate you. Also if he’s your fiancé you need to claim his kids are your kids as well to make a WHOLE family not a HALF family.

Half or not they are siblings! They share some of the same DNA
Definitely let your baby be with the siblings. Don’t rob them of they joy siblings can bring

What. In. The. World.

They are not “half”… they are family! Half, step whatever… family is family. We have a “blended” family. I have 3 kids, my boyfriend has 1 and we have 1 on the way. His daughter is my daughter, my kids are his kids… and they are siblings.

If she hasn’t done anything bad to you or you child then you should be open to having a good relationship. Why wouldn’t you want to have a good relationship with her and let all the siblings have fun and be able to spend time together vs you hating her or whatever your problem is with her. It takes so much energy to be hateful and negative. Be grateful that she is not trying to keep their kids away from you and your child! Now I do understand not wanting her to take the baby, but you can take the baby there and spend time at the party.

Yes absolutely they should be involved their siblings half shouldn’t even be a word used in my opinion doesn’t matter half or not their are still related and they have the right to know their siblings and keeping them apart is only gonna hurt the kids and they could possibly grow to hate you later because you kept a piece of them from their life. Not to mention in order for you to keep them out of each others lives youd be keeping them out of your fiances life and thays wrong like it or not those are his children and yours and you should all be able to get along and be a family together

I didn’t meet my brother until I was 15. The whole 15 years, I wanted a brother so bad and my parents didnt tell me, mostly due to my dad’s ex. However, I was mad at my dad for keeping that from me. Now I have 3 amazing nephews and have been consistently in my brother’s life.

When I was a baby my parents divorced and both remarried and had step children. My stepsister and I were very close(from my dad and step mom) and she would come with me to my moms house on weekends. I see nothing wrong with letting his other children’s mother taking yours. It might not be a normal thing anymore but give it a try. And if your still having doubts (this may be hard to do) but sit the other kids mother down and express your concerns. And come up with a solution. You both share something in common. The father to your kids so you both will always be in each other’s life’s. Sometimes we have to buckle down and do what is in the best interest of our kids. And having brothers and sisters (half or not) is a great thing! They shouldn’t be separated just because they have different moms or dads. We all have our demons we face each and everyday don’t let anyone try to knock you down. Be a mama bear but also let your child have a “extended family” even if you don’t see eye to eye our children can never have to many people that care about their well being. Good luck and I hope it all works out!!

All of my sisters are technically half…but we dont use that term. They’re the only siblings I have…and I’ve always just thought of them as my sisters. You have to think about what happens when you both are no longer here…your child will need that support system.

Why wouldn’t you want your child to know there siblings and why wouldn’t you want a decent co-parenting situation? I have a friend who’s husband has custody of his two children but they take the ex-wife’s and her new husbands kids (who are her husbands siblings but not his kids) all the time. Children should see cooperation and understanding and love from every adult in there life and if that includes you significant other having children with other people than like it or not there family.

I’m confused. Why don’t you want your child going? I know they are half siblings, but a lot of kids grow up considering them to be their full sibling.
At the end of the day everyone is family, and you shouldn’t exclude your child for no reason. Let them get to know their siblings and grow a strong bond.
Unless something happened, where they were rude or disrespectful to your child I don’t see why they shouldn’t go

I’m sorry all but there is NO WAY IN HELL that MY child would be going to attend or spend time with the other mom without ME! BUT I am more than willing(and already do so!) To BRING my child(ren) to attend things/spend time with half siblings! But if I can’t attend, my kids aren’t. That’s MY line. Straight up! My hubby totally agrees! He brings them to things top but NEVER leaves them there EVER. Only so much trust thanks! Lpl

My daughter doesn’t know her half siblings but that’s because her dad never tries with her. I do keep a line if communication open incase they want to meet her. Children don’t choose their parents. But they are siblings and family so try to let them meet and no one said you need to become friends with the ex just go and focus in birthday kid.

This is a joke, right?

I’m just kind of lost here. Shouldn’t these kids be important to your fiancé and be part of his life?

All I can say is that you are very lucky to have your fiancé’s baby momma reaching out to you to get the kids together. While I’m over here still trying to build a relationship with my partner’s baby momma so that my 3 children and her child can meet and know each other and spend time together.

I hope everything works out with all of you. The kids are not just their “half sibling,” that’s family.

I would go with her to the party or have your fiance take her. This is her siblings and she deserves to have a relationship with them.

What she is saying is, the only half sibling is the baby (I believe)! That she doesn’t want HER kids and the baby going! I would go if you dont feel comfortable with her with your kids… BUT we dont know if there has been drama between her and the baby mama AND they have a bday party already set up for his child! But if she hasn’t done anything but try to be nice then totally go!

These are are “half” siblings but they aren’t half they are brother and sister, my older sister is my “step sister” nah shes my sister through and through . Why wouldn’t you want your child to know their brothers/sisters

If those are his kids, why wouldn’t y’all go to the parties? Or any event where it has something to do with them. Even if they don’t get along, everyone should try to fake a smile for the kid’s sake. They deserve to have both mother and father at important events in their life. And of course they should know your baby. It maybe hard but they’re your stepchildren and your baby, coming from divorced parents, they will one day thank you.

I personally feel like this is very childish and petty. When my husband and I got married he had a 3 year old daughter, shes now 24. But her mother had a son some years later and my husband and I had 5 other children together. Her son and my 2 sons are the same age and told everyone they we’re brothers. Technically they we’re not but they did share a sister. So her son came and spent weekends at our house and my kids, have went and spent weekends with them. It is my bonus daughters mother! We are all one family now, like it or not. When you get with a man who has children by another woman she does not just vanish from the scene. We all hang out and go to each others childrens events. It’s called being an adult.

Good grief the shaming on here. :woman_facepalming:t2:

I’m a step mom- and yes! Since the kids are older- 9 and 15 -they actually want to call me that and don’t want to be called “mine” with their 2 step siblings. :woman_shrugging:t2: promise I tried. But that’s ok too. It’s their choice.

Reading your post you say she wants to “take” as in put in a car with her? I’m a cautious person. I wouldn’t put my baby in with another person. Our society can be rough and it’s hard to trust others with your beating heart :heart::heart: that’s how I feel about mine. I couldn’t imagine something happening that I could have prevented just by remaining aware and being there. I wouldn’t let my husbands ex take our kids but I would encourage all of your attendance! :heart::heart:

She gets my kids anytime she can, and I do the same. We’re not best friends, but we are family. I was one of the first people she told when she found out. I love that little girl to pieces. Even when they were together, I would come over and play with her.
I agree some people will hate kids simply because of their parents. But some of us will love those babies like our own. She is invited to every birthday party for my kids and I am for her kid. You could find a great mom friend in her if y’all are willing to focus on the kids.
