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

Why wouldnt you want her to be. Thats the babys family to and if was something you didnt want to be apart of then you shouldnt have had a baby with some one who has a past. Its not fair to the baby to no be able to be apart of there brother or sisters life. Unless of corse the other family is horrible then i would say wait till ypur little one is way older to where they can protect them selfs

Is this a real question. They are family if you like it or not. They should know each other.

That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard! Keeping their half brother/sister from another. Let them love each other as they are brothers/sisters. There’s already going to be kids growing up not knowing their brothers/sisters. Then when they get old enough to date their not even going to know their brothers/sisters cause so many people have kids by different people or they don’t tell the other that it’s their baby daddy or baby mama and then their going to end up marrying their brother or sister. I don’t even want to know how this next generation is going to be like. We already have people who don’t even know their brother and sister. So this next generation is going to be marrying their siblings not even knowing that their brother or sister until they have a baby & there’s something wrong with the baby :woman_facepalming:

In Ohio it’s actually in the paper work, that my son is to attend his sister’s.
If the little one is under 3 I would have dad go too.

I would if she’s a good fit parent

Omg this mother is pathetic. How sad.

Yes that is a part of your child. It would indeed be very selfish and ridiculous to keep them away from their siblings. This isn’t about you. It’s about them

Part of being a mom is self sacrifice. I understand how you wouldn’t like it. But you need to smile and encourage a relationship and bond between them. I sure hope you don’t feel the same about your husband being in their life.

My husband has 2 kids with another woman, we have 1 adopted & 2 of our own. As far as I’m concerned I have 5 children. As far as the kids are concerned they are all brothers & sisters with no “half” or “adopted” mentioned amongst them. That’s how we have raised them so they don’t know any different.

I can relate to your fiance’s baby mama. She’s not trying to steal your baby or take your man back, sis… Kids need to know who their siblings are because later in life when they are adults (& when us parents are long gone) it is their siblings & the support systems they have built amongst & around them that will carry them. You won’t be around forever! Let them bond. Let them create childhood memories together. That’s their right. You have the right to your fiance & one day you’ll be left with an empty nest & be GLAD you made the effort to let them develop sibling relationships while growing up.

Now I am concerned for his other 2 kids. This makes you sound like you’re the type of person that makes a man choose between his kids, and spouse. I get not wanting some one going off with your kid, but to keep your kid from their siblings, is concerning.

Bcuz they are siblings this isn’t weird at all. Half or full means absolutely nothing a brother is a brother a sister is a sister I don’t know anyone that gets treated as a step even when they are lol.

I would let them go. That’s their sibling, and they deserve a relationship. If you’re not comfortable sending your little one alone then maybe offer to attend the party too? I know ‘society’ acts like you’re supposed to be her enemy, but you don’t have to be! You could develope a wonderful relationship with the mother of your child’s sibling that could be a HUGE benefit to the both of you, and especially to the children. Eff stereotypes, right? Make your own way.

Yes very wrong, and when your child is older and wants to know them but the bind isn’t there cause you decided it was best for him not to be apart of there lives. Who do you think the child is going to have resentment towards?. You got with a man who has children and decided to have one together. Your child is not an only child it has siblings. If she is being civil why you trying to start drama. However I would let my husband take the child or I would go as well if it’s a baby.

That depends, how old is the baby? Has the baby has all of their vaccinations? If so definitely go, if not then I would be explaining that you would like to go but bub needs all their needles first and arrange a time to visit after it’s done.

Ok little petty only depending on age… I wouldn’t leave my young baby with no one… especially my bf ex sooo idk idk

I see this in two ways. My husbands ex for the longest time did not want their kids to know about our children. His family however told them and now they know. Well his ex doesn’t allow him to see or speak to his kids since this happened and so we plan on not telling our children about the others until they are older and can understand. But at the same time I see where everyone says your selfish and petty because I went through this. But I see it as if his kids do see you all then yes y’all should go as a family to the party. If you don’t see these kids then I don’t see how your in the wrong.

Wow that’s disgusting!
You are trying to keep siblings apart! I have 4 siblings that are as you put it “half” and if my parents or the other parent to my siblings tried to keep us apart as a child now as an adult I would hate them.
In saying that you are the mother and you can simply say that if your child is attending then you will be taking your child.

What the Hell is wrong with you? Why is this even a question? OF COURSE a child should be involved with half siblings. Give your stubborn head a shake. “Half” is irrelevant.

If the baby momma wants the siblings to have a relationship then allow it. You would be selfish not to. My daughters have two half brothers. Their dad had another baby after our divorce and I reached out to the baby momma at that time because she was having their brother. I’m glad that I did because I invite him over all the time to spend time with them. I had a son later after my divorce and my kids don’t treat their little brother any different and I still include their other brother in all my parties for my son. We are all adults that believe the kids need each other. And even tho my son and their brother aren’t related, they treat each other like they are. It’s the best relationship for all of them. I don’t have to be best friends with the ex or his ex baby momma
But we all have a level of respect and it works for us.

You’re a bitter asshole not to let that baby know his siblings. If the father is taking care of the other kids you won’t have a choice so you might as well accept it

I think the term “half” sibling is a slap in the face. My whole life, the siblings on my dad’s side referred to me as half and my sibling on my moms side (who was my half sister) never once used that term. We were sisters. That’s it. Guess who I’m closer with?

I have no whole siblings and all mine are half and I love them all just the same. My dad’s side of my siblings though I don’t know as well because I didn’t get to grow up seeing them, but my sister from my mom we are super close and she lived with us till she got her own place and has taken care of me since I was a baby. See I’m younger than all of them. My sister is 13 years older than me.

On that note, my ex husband got mad because my daughters wanted to have pics of their new baby sister. Its because he was jealous. I told him its not wrong for them to want to know about their sister. It’s like his own half siblings. He then apologized and realized its not about us it’s about them. Its their sister.

Man if my bd n gf wanna take my kids shitttt ima let em gives me a break

Wow . This is pathetic that it’s even a question . She’s obviously trying to coparent and do what’s best for her kids . You sound like the wife that’s bitter that he has a baby momma .

I seriously had to re read this 3 times. So they are brothers and sisters! Only people that say half siblings are adults who have issues.

I wouldn’t let anyone take my child anywhere until they’re older. If y’all are invited, I’d go. Is there a reason your so hesitant on your child getting to know his siblings?

Shame on all of you bashing her for her question!

I have an older half brother. He’s an idiot. 🤷 Although we know each other, we’ve never been close due to his mom’s jealousy, (which did change and she n mom become good friends.) And he’s a selfish, narrcisitic, man-child who likes drama and blames everyone for his problems. He’s spent most of his adult life in and out of jail. He’s in there now.

My point is, not everyone’s experience with half siblings has been pleasant and shouldn’t judge her for asking a SIMPLE question.

YES!! Let them absolutely have a relationship! It’s selfish if you don’t

Unless there is good reason not to have them together then hell yes they should be apart of each others lives! If it’s just because you are petty and jealous then grow up and learn to co parent like adults.

I’m mostly confused on why you feel you don’t want baby to be apart of their siblings lives. Or is it just the baby momma you don’t want in baby’s life? I feel this is a very vague question.

I absolutly hate my first childs dad and he did some really shitty stuff to me i didnt see my daughter for 4 years but i will not let the way i feel about him get in the way of a sibling relationship… That would be very selfiah of u and cause resentment towards u later on… U knew those other kids existed when u got with him so therefore u should accept everything that comes with it… Let them siblings have a relationship

May as well? The more family the better and they are your childs family

Qoute from movie ‘The Wedding Date’ Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney
“You’re my half Sister but I whole love you” seems relevant. Half whole They are siblings they need to grow up and be around each other create memories they will remember later in life.

This is about the kids not you!

Honestly would be rethinking your relationship if your thinking this way .

My “step” daughter from my previous relationship is still heavily involved in my life .

I have 5 kids but to me there’s 7 kids in this family and nothing changes that . I haven’t seen my “half” sister for almost 15 years and it eaten away at me every day of my life since the last day I saw her - Don’t be selfish .

I have a step son 11, a son with my husband 2 and another on the way. They’re BROTHERS, and will be raised as such. Period. End of discussion.

With that said, I would never trust or allow step sons mother to take his brothers, my biological children, anywhere, and she is not their family. There is a big difference between ensuring your son has a relationship
his siblings and allowing the siblings mother to have a relationship your son. You can have the first without allowing the second if that is what your concern is.

Ok wait. The first part of this… ok. She makes it sound like ex baby momma wants to take the baby to the birthday party.

But the 2nd part… you don’t want your baby to know their older siblings? Is this a fucking joke. Does your fiancée not see his older kids? What in the actual fuck is going on here?

It makes me absolutely nauseous when people use the term “half-sibling” that’s their freaking brother/sister. Dont be a selfish twat and let your child bond with their SINLINGS!! If you dont I guarantee your child will grow to hate you. I’ve seen it happen.

On another note what kind of man and father is your fiance if he doesnt even have and/or want his children to come to your house to stay and spend time with them?

I feel sorry for you, jealousy is hard on a relationship and the kids. Let them have a relationship or your children and fiance will resent you in the end. Ive been raising my daughter who is not my blood since she was one and a half, shes now 8 with her father. She has a older brother that I’ve never had a problem with and have always welcomed him in our home. We travel 3 hours away to pick him up to spend days/ weeks with his little sister He’s not blood to me or my spouse but he’s still our family. For the kids sake suck it up and build a relationship with them.

By all means let them be with their siblings. Your only hurting the kids. Share children. Get along.
