posted 9th Dec
anyone here have brothers or sisters from a different dad? if so did u grow up with them since u were little and if so did u feel less loved then them or felt they weren't ur full siblings. im pregnant now but not with my daughters dad. a new guy, he is amazing great and iv been with him for a good while now but im scared she will feel this baby is not her real brother or sister. she will be 5 by the time the baby is born and i want to make sure she feel no different. im not with her dad because he cheated on me many times and hurt me emotionally and physically as well. now im so happy but i dont want her to feel like this baby is better than her just because 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!!!!!

My husband has 4 siblings with different dads than his own and only one with the same dad. He loves them all the same.

My sister is my half sister. Same mother different father. She is older than me so I grew up as she was no different than me. My dad loved her the same as if she was his own. My first two children and half siblings to my other 2. They treat them as brother and sister and no different as well. My DH treats them no different that his own and loves them all the same.

My mom has 5 kids, all with different dads. She was with my youngest brothers dad the longest (he's been in my life for like 14 years), but my little brother just turned 10. Growing up, you could defiantly tell that my 2 youngest brothers got special treatment since they called him dad even though he denied it, but after I moved out our relationship grew and I even had him walk me down the aisle with my dad on my wedding date.
ETA: All of my siblings (I have a brother on my dad's side, different mom) are my brothers and sisters, I never consider myself an only child even though I technically am. I love my brothers and sister very much

have two half brothers, one from a different dad and one from a different mom. they are both older than me, one by 5 years, one by 17 years, and I never felt an attachment to either of them really, even though I grew up with both of them. Always felt more like an only child because we are all very different, personality and looks wise.

I have one brother he is my dads child but not my moms and I don't look at him as less of a sibling even though he is a half brother.

I have a half brother and sister. They're my stepdads kids. We grew up together. My stepdad fought with me more than he did them but that's because we're both smurfs and I was older.
DD is DSs half-sibling. Though I think that's the first time I've ever referred to them as half siblings. They adore eachother and DH loves them both equally and gives them the same amount of attention.

i had a half sister and a half brother who had a different mother than my 3 sisters and i. i didn't grow up with them and they chose not to talk to my father or have contact with him. i grew up living primarily with my mother anyway, but saw my dad on holidays and summers. i didn't feel jealous of them, obviously because they weren't around. i actually never met my half sister. she died (as an adult) before i had a chance to meet her. i met my half brother. he was nice and said he always loved us, but he was a little odd and was a depressed alcoholic. so.... i didn't feel any of what you said. i hope they never felt less loved. i could see why they might if they did, though. i think they felt like my dad should have tried to talk to them more. but i think he felt like, if the want to talk, they'd come to him. it was a sad situation.

I have 1 brother who has a different dad who I grew up with. He 100% is my real brother in my eyes. Who gives a crap if our DNA isn't exactly alike. A brother is a brother to me. I also have 2 brothers who have a different mom than me. I did not grow up around them but they are still 100% my real brothers. I never use the word half unless its for medical reasons.

I had a different bio dad than my 3 siblings, I am the oldest. My step dad really became my real dad, even though bio dad was around. My "step" dad never treated me any differently, and I know he loved me the same as the other kids.

My two older brothers are my half brothers.. we all have the same dad but different moms. We didnt grow up in the same house but We are pretty close.

I grew up with 2 younger sisters from another mother, and 4 younger sisters and 1 younger brother from another father. I wouldnt say that I felt less loved then the others, especially the ones I lived with which were the 4 sisters and 1 brother.
Edit: I was 6 when my first sister was born (dif mom) and there was no feeling of resentment towards her, I was excited to have a sibling, cuz up until then I was an only child. That's what she'll think, I don't consider any of my siblings really as my half siblings, they ARE my siblings and I don't love them any less because we aren't full siblings.

I have 2 half sisters & I have 2 stepsons that have a half sister (my DD) and I love my sisters dearly - we never say half sisters & blended our family just fine. My stepsons love their sister & are very protective over her (7 & 10 years older than her). They never mention anything about having different moms but their mom & I get along great now & have blended our families well. I think as long as you keep an open communication & let her help & be apart of the baby, your daughter will continue to feel loved & love their sibling. Good luck
