The place of the half-sister

You've rebuilt your life, you're preparing to expand your new family and you're wondering how this step-sister will be received.


  • First of all, don't feel like you're imposing this baby on your children. This is a great opportunity for them to enrich the family bond, and chances are, even if they were reluctant at first, they will welcome the baby with all the love they can muster.
  • Let things take care of themselves.
  • The baby will be able to use her charm to seduce the older siblings.
  • Finally, be careful not to discriminate between your children and give the older ones time and attention.

So i need advice on: I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. My mom hasn’t been in my life since I was 4 and now I have a 4 year old sister who isn’t living in the best environment. My mom is always going on a drinking binge and my sisters dad does drugs. This man lets his 13 and 15 year old daughters beat and assault my 4 year old half sister. My aunt wants me to try and get custody of her. I am very concerned about her and I want to try and get custody, but I’m also worried because I have a little baby on the way. Do you guys think it would be a good idea or a bad idea? What should I do? Would it be worth it in the long run?

I am getting so stressed out right now. My baby shower is a little over a month away and my family can’t decide on who’s paying for what and who can’t pay for stuff. And right now my side of the family is getting pissed off and saying that they’re just gonna buy everything and my husbands side of the family is just not gonna help with it but they are struggling financially too and so I don’t know what to do and it’s pissing me off and I hate being the mediator between both sides of the family and trying to get this stuff figured out. It is stressful. I don’t know what to do, how to help, anything. I’m half tempted to just have me and my one sister plan it all because we’re having more communication than the rest of them and the rest of them are getting pissed off because the other side can’t help financially and I don’t know what to do right now.  my MIL had what I thought was a good idea to help with the food for the baby shower but my side of the family doesn’t think it’s a good idea and they’re getting pissed off because of the idea. And I’ve been having some lower stomach pain because of a bacterial infection that I have so that is stressing me out too. I’m kind of just feeling done with this pregnancy I want the baby shower and the pregnancy to be done with and I just wanna have my baby girl in my arms and not have to worry about these stresses and I know it’s going to be more stressful once baby gets here because it is my first kid and it’ll be hard the first couple of weeks but I’m just done with it already and I don’t know what to do.

I finally told my sisters like a week and a half ago that I was pregnant and my one sister was and still is upset that I didn’t tell her sooner. She made the whole convo about herself. I even told her why I didn’t tell no one until now bc I’m embarrassed and ashamed that my child’s father has ghosted and blocked me since I was 7 weeks pregnant. She said I was being selfish and immature by not letting anyone know. She said you gonna need me and scoffed after she said it. She doesn’t have children and has tried IVF with no success and I think that’s part of why she’s upset. She even went as far as to block me on social media. I’m kinda bothered by her actions but I have too much to focus on and learn without letting it bother me too bad. I lost my sons father and one aunt so now I’m wondering how many more people I’ll lose on my journey to motherhood. I’m not reaching out to her either I am pissed she made the whole convo about herself and pretty much laughed at me when I told her why I kept it a secret. #venting
