[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn't you call them her brothers? Those poor boys! Sounds like you are putting a lot of your own issues on these kids.[/quote] I agree. They are brothers not half brothers. This would be as bad as someone introducing children as adopted. Did the kids ask about this or is this important to you? [/quote] They are definitely half brothers. And that's fine! It's okay to have half siblings. Trying to suppress the term only stigmatizes it more. [/quote] Socially, they are full brothers. Genetically they are half brothers. Why is it a priority to inspect their genetics in every social conversation? It's like calling a half a fruit salad because it has peppers and tomatoes and cucumbers. [/quote] That's quite a reach. Being raised in a completely different context and sometimes in a completely different generation as well, is not just genetics.[/quote]
