[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd has 2 half siblings - 10 and 12 years older. They come over every other weekend. We've never referred to them as her brothers. We've just been confused about how to explain why they leave, where they go, why they may skip a weekend, why they look different, aren't always at grandma's, etc. Now that she is almost three she is asking even more questions and we're not sure if we should teach her the concept of half brothers, refer to them as brothers - though she knows her friends and cousins have siblings that live with them full time. How have others handled this?[/quote] Why wouldn’t you just tell her the truth? They are her brothers and when they aren’t living with their dad, they are living with their mom. [/quote]
