If you want him to have a relationship with them (and really, do you?) maybe you should help plan a visit to spend time with them. If your partner doesn't want to do this then I guess you have your answer.

I make sure to celebrate him with our dc but think he must be hurt that his other dc's don't acknowledge the day. We don't see them much and would hate to make it a thing on the rare occasion he does see them but wonder if I should drop a hint to them that it isn't very nice.

I suggest you tell your partner that not maintaining relationships with his children is "not very nice" (understatement).

My uncle's girlfriend was in a snit because my cousins didn't call their dad for father's day. This is a man who remembers his kids' birthday occasionally, left them for years with their abusive, alcoholic mom and popped into their lives as it suited them. "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."

I’d be upset if my dad abandoned my mom and I, went on to another baby momma, abandoned them and then had a third baby momma! And you say partner not spouse so he didn’t even marry you. Not a great father to celebrate.

Why be worried? We have been together longer than either marriage and he has a relationship with our dc.

Oh so you're the long-term mistress that he left wife #2 for and you don't even live together???

They didn't reach out because they don't have a relationship with him. It wasn't sperm donor's day.

There is nothing for you to say.

LMAO. Aww, he either ran out of money, or he’s not willing to risk the rest of it on you. He “has a relationship” with one out of five of his children? Slow clap. Maybe he might take this one to the zoo a few times before dumping you both for a new woman to impregnate.

Sounds like a real peach! A father having "a relationship" with his child? Amazing!

One out of five of his children, thank you very much.

When was the last time your husband reached out to them?

OP, if you're not a troll, really you need to stay out of this. It's between him and his children. If they have difficulty maintaining relationships well, the apple sometimes doesn't fall far from the tree.

If you start "reminding" and hassing and guilt-tripping his adult children and trying to convince them that he's the wonderful dad he's gotten you to believe exists, be prepared for a reality check. Do you want to hear about what kind of father he was to them? Will you be happier with that information? Really think about this. And think about whether you want to alienate your child's half-siblings.

This cannot be a real post.

LOL. Please do tell them how they’re not being very nice to their deadbeat “dad.” I’d love to see the reaction.
