re: anyone with siblings from another dad

my older sister has a different dad then me. we grew up together. other then the summers she went to her dads house. i never felt quiet as important as my sister was but that was more because shes a wack job wen we were younger. she had alots of allergies and she was a load of drama growing up so my parents spent more time trying to control her then was spent on me at all. my daughter has a different dad then my son but my sons dad isnt really around and her dad is daddy to my son too.

I am the only one from my mom and dad but my mom had 3 other kids and my dad has 4 others. I love all my siblings the same, I do have a closer bond with my mother's side because we all lived together. We never referred to each other as "half-siblings", in fact I didn't even know of the phrase until much later in life. I think of my siblings as full blood and nothing less.

I think that as long as they grow up together and are treated the same, neither of them will be affected by the fact that they don't have the same dad.

Quoting mommy-in-a-blended-family:" I have 2 half sisters & I have 2 stepsons that have a half sister (my DD) and I love my sisters dearly ... [snip!] ... & let her help & be apart of the baby, your daughter will continue to feel loved & love their sibling. Good luck  "

thank you and yes she will be in every part i will make sure of that

Quoting nani's mami:" wow   well i hope you are happy now that's the important part..either way these too will be raised together and i want her to feel like they are family which they are they both came from me lol"

well, i have a daughter who's 6 and a baby on the way. they have different dads. they will be raised together, of course. i hope they never feel like only "halfs". i hope they continue relationships with their dads as well. and the father of my baby on the way, has a daughter with someone else too. so, i hope the three come together and feel close and connected whether i stay with the dad or not.

thank you that is relieving to know  

Yes, i have a brother from another mother lol
but unfourtanetly my father was a smurffy dad so neither of us had him in our lives, he lived in a city 2 hours away, but we always kept in touch.

I have 5 younger siblings from different parents, one of them is my step brother but I love them all the same. I think the only time it's ever a problem is when the children are treated differently because theyre from different people.

I have two older siblings and two younger. The Younger are from a differen father. Yes i felt a difference with their father, but I did not meet him until I was 7/8. I love my younger sibs sooo much and am closer to them than my older ones.

I have a daughter from another guy and a 18 mth old with my fiance.. the oldest tries to do what ever to get all the attention though..

Quoting Fit Pregnant mami:" anyone here have brothers or sisters from a different dad? if so did u grow up with them since u were ... [snip!] ... im more happy with him. any tips i want her to know that this baby is going to be loved just like her...no more no less!!!!!"

i grew up with one of my dad's sons and then my mom had a baby from her ex-hubby who was not my dad & he just figured out we werent "real" siblings. he is almost 10. but he never looked at us different.

there are 6 siblings on my husbands side. Same dad 3 different moms. My fil was married to his first wife had 4 kids. Then married another lady had 1 and then married mil and had dh. Fil was 49 when dh was born. My oldest bil is a year older than mil and the closest to dh. Only one from all 6 is the bitch and wants nothing to do with the family.

I had a stepdad since I was 6, he treated me amazing we were SO close..until he had his own with my mom. They had my little brother when I was 11 and ever since then we had a pretty rocky relationship (the fact that I started being a teenager and crazy didn't help either lol) BUT now that I'm older and have a stepdaughter of my own I'm definitely more understanding.. having stepchildren isn't always easy and doesn't always come natural. For the first few years he treated me like a buddy but once my brother came along there were responsibilities and expectations he had of me.. that 'switch' in the relationship is what caused our issues and neither of us handled it very well. My advice is just watch how he is with your daughter after the baby is born, stick up for her when you need to and keep reminding him that both kids will be rewarded, punished and loved equally.

My sister is my half sibling. My mom and her dad divorced before I was born. Her dad left and never cared to see her or anything. My mom met my dad when my sister was 4 and she got married to him and ended up pregnant with me and then my brother. I feel like my sister is my full blood sister... I didn't know she was a "half" sister for along time.. but I never considerd her anything less then my full sister. We get along well.. Saying that she did feel sometimes that my dad faverd my bro and I and she did have some probs.. my dad tried his best to make everything fair.. he grew up with a step mom so he knows how it is. She is pretty close to my dad and mom but I do think she did deal with some issues of maybe he loved us more or this and that.

my sister and I are 9 years apart (she's older). From what I knew she was always treated the same by my biological father. And I never loved her any less than my brothers.

I also have two younger brothers who have different mothers (i only really know one of them) and I love them both the same.

I have 2 half sisters and my stepdad loved them more... We're about 10 years apart.
