I have three sons and technically my 3rd son is
half- brother to his older brothers as their fathers are different, my ex and his wife are also expecting a
boy in June, which means another half -brother will soon be here. (yes all boys our fridges will always be empty =) )
I really hate using the terms half -brother, step brother,
step father or adopted sibling, they
are technically true, but I will never use these terms directly with my boys, they are all brothers I don’t see why it should matter that
their fathers or in the new arrivals case their mother is different and I don’t
see why my kids should see it any differently.
In essence and at the end of the day we are one blended and
extended family, we are linked to each other permanently through my two oldest
boys and as much as we have times of disagreement or do not always get along we
are family and families do not always have to get along or even like each other
all the time.
The boys are excited for their new brother arrival and I
know they are going to be great with him, family isn’t always about blood, you
do not have to have the same parents, mother or father, it is about being there
for one another and making memories together of which I am sure there are
plenty to come.
