[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think it depends sometimes on context too[/b].  My DH has 2 half brothers--he generally refers to them as his brothers, but will sometimes refer to them as his half-brothers to kind of clarify the situation as needed.

My DDs all refer to each other as sisters (they're half-siblings).  I do not think I would be fine with my DH calling my older dd his daughter though--it would just be weird, even though she lives with us.  She has a dad that is active in her life.  [/quote]

Absolutely depends on context.

My best friend has half-siblings by her mom and her dad. Her half-brother (through her mom) is 4yrs older and they were raised together, they refer to each other as brother/sister. Her half-siblings through her dad were in their 20s and already had kids of their own by the time she was born, they refer to each other as half-siblings.[/quote]

Agree.  My BIL's father had an long term affair when his kids were in college and young adults.  His parents eventually divorced and he remarried the shrew.  And yes, she is shrew of the variety of calling the home to ask for him in the middle of Christmas with the kids, etc.  A real peach.

They refer to her children, also young adults when the affair transpired, as A--'s kids.

They are not step sibling, and definitely not siblings.  Just the kids of the woman their dad had an affair with and married.[/quote]
