Pregnant with 1st biochild, Skids won't stop talking about BMs other kids.
This sounds silly.
I'm pregnant with my first child (10 weeks so far). Its taken a lot of time and consideration to decide we were going to take the plunge considering we have SS19 and SD17 full time. They are very excited about the baby. But every time anyone mentions something about the impending baby they start to harp on about BMs two other kids, who are under 5. I shouldn't complain - they are excited, they are just relating to what they know. But I have ZERO interest in they BM and her other kids, considering that she had no qualms about having zero financial or educational responsibility for her first two kids. It actually makes me quite uncomfortable listening to them talk about these other kids that they obviously love, but I have no connection with and don't like for no other reason than the association. DH is the same. No interest whatsoever. But they are their half sisters and I shouldn't stop them from talking about them, but it makes me uncomfortable.. I'm probably overreacting, but has anyone else felt this, or gotten through it?
"Well I am glad she at least
"Well I am glad she at least supports her younger brood. We will support the new baby just like we have supported and raised you. We are excited about you being the new one's big bro and big sis."
I agree with previous poster
I agree with previous poster up there to respect and accept that they speak of their younger half-siblings. I can see your point of annoyance, but remember they can't help the fact that their parent is a deadbeat. Looks to me like if they like their younger halves already they will accept yours with open arms. They are just relating to what they know which is good even if it comes off as disrespectful. Sounds like y'all have open communication and they are old enough that you can tell them you appreciate that they love their other family but it is hard for you to hear about it and compromise on that front. You can learn to be more open and respect their interest and they can start to respect you by helping prepare for your little bundle of joy and prepare for it's arrival.
I can relate, my SS is 9 and speaks about his half brothers and sisters all the time, to him as he informs me, they are his real siblings; whereas his half-brother at our house is only a half. But I blame his mom for putting that in his head. He believes it though and because his youngest sibling at his moms is 3 and my baby boy is 2, he compares them all the time and loves to say well my real brother can do this and this and that. I inform him his brother at his moms is a year older so he is more developed and his brother at our house will be doing the same by the time he's that age.
