[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our plan was to teach her the difference between brothers - John and Jim are brothers. They have the same parents. John and Jim are your half brothers because you have the same dad. At such a young age, it just didn't come up. Everyone has a name, and she didn't understand that grandma is also jane. She think's grandma's name is grandma. It is now that she has questions about what a family is, how everyone relates, where everyone lives, etc. [/quote] There is something very wrong with you if your plan is to refer to them as her half brothers. They’re not half people. [/quote] Well what kind of explanation do you propose for why they live with some other woman most of the time?[/quote] “Daddy and Carla are M and J’s mommy and daddy. Then daddy and I had you together.” That’s literally all it takes. Toddlers accept their reality with very few questions. [/quote]
