[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Wrong. The purpose of sibling preference is family convenience. It's convenient for half-sibs to attend the same school. All one side would have to do is pick up the other one every now and then, have them both stay over at Grandma's together, have one person writing checks for both kids... This absolutely passes the smell test. We've got a child like this in our class in school. Everybody knows about it and nobody cares. As long as the parents from the other side are involved in the half-sib's life, it's legal and it's the right thing to do.

Good luck trying to get your snowflake an extra spot by short-changing the child from the fractured family. Most people at our school - liberal and conservative - would call you pathetic. [/quote]

You say that it's convenient for half-siblings who don't live together to attend the same school.  Why?  Just saying it doesn't make it so, you know, even when you say it with such certainty.  [/quote]

Because I know a family with dual custody.  Child A sleeps in one household half the week and the other one the other half.  There is a younger half-sib in one of those houses.  Ergo, younger half-sib gets sibling preference.  Nobody cares if you don't like it, it's what's going to happen because everyone involved knows with certainty that it's the right thing to do.[/quote]

Good grief, lady, could you be more dense?  First, no one is disputing that the preference should apply when the kids live together, even half the time - that would be ridiculous.  Try and keep up.  Second, you said that it's convenient for siblings who don't live together to attend the same school; when asked why it's convenient, you respond "because I know someone in that situation, and it is convenient."  Quite a compelling argument.   I feel like I'm talking to my six-year old, "Why is this better?  Because it is."  And ironically,[b] the family to whom you refer ISN'T in that situation, because the half-sibs live together half the time.  [/b]

I'm amazed that someone with your level of comprehension and reasoning is on DCUM - I'd think you'd have a difficult time turning on your computer.  [/quote]

Keep up yourself, sweetie pie.  By that logic, all someone needs to do is "live together" occasionally.  Once a week?  Once a month?  Sleepover at Grandma's?

Keep a civil tongue yourself, hypocrite.  Don't worry, you can look it up online - just google the word.  I'd think you'd have a difficult time using a dictionary, much less owning one.[/quote]
