Skids have "rights" when it comes to bios (1/2 siblings)????

Do u believe your step children have "rights" to your bio children (if they r half siblings)? I'm not talking about keeping kids away from each-other just for the hell of it. I'm talking about, if u wanted to protect your child from the potential damage skids could cause.... Do u believe as a parent you have a responsibility to do so.... Or, does sharing one of their parents give them an all access pass?

Some seem to believe his children have rights when it comes to our child. I believe if skids put our child in danger they forfeit those rights. I am considering going to a judge and asking for an order of protection, due to my skids behaviors and history, if needed.

Any thoughts?

I think you have to protect your child from ANYONE who can harm them, be it half sibling, full sibling, step sibling, even their other parent.

I agree with this...I think anyone who has been abusive. I dont know the situation. in my mind ...anyone could be potentially dangerous...but unless the skids have been abusive to the child I would allow access. If skids are dangerous or if bm promotes abuse of or violence toward bio I would push to separate the two. Our bios are going to be exposed to all types of potential danger...and potentially dangerous people.

It's dangerous on many different levels! And, I do feel it's my job to protect my child, it's not my job to cater to how his kids r gonna feel about it!

I absolutely refuse to raise my BS around my ex-skids. I don't care if they share a father or not. They or horrible children (sad but true) and theyre still young. Which means BM and guilty dad, who cant be bothered to even speak to each other aside from cussing each other out (in front of skids of course) have many more years of f**cking them up. I left. Dad can come and see him whenever he wants but it is done at my house without his other children.

I don't care if they share a father. I can't trust them around him and I can't stand to be around them myself. Dad can thank himself and his controlling, abusive BM for that. Fortunately I moved across the country and I don't see their father forking out the money for 3 plane tickets, especially after I've told him they are not welcome to come with him for visits.

Haha! Awesome for u! Did u leave because of his kids and ex and the situation, or was it a combo of things?

Agree.

I let our youngest visit SD once or twice.

BM was also around and I don't know what kind of crap they fed her but it took me a few days to straighten up her attitude towards me after.

I told H never again.

"You can't keep BD away from her. Electra Barbie is her sister! Electra Barbie's mom is Electra Baebie's mom.

You have no right to do this or feel that way"

Okay. If she comes back all messed up again YOU can deal with it.

It hasn't been an issue again thankfully.

People who hate me have no right to have sleepovers with my daughter.

If he still has a problem with this and overrides my wishes again that's the end.

Not sure where you are from but there is no such thing as sibling rights where i live. Grandparents can't enforce visitation easily here so half siblings essentially have no rights that would ever trump the birth parents wishes. My middle aged step adults called up making this same ridiculous demand of me. I agree totally with everyone else on here- if you don't like me you can darn sure bet that there is no way I'll let you around my children! Ridiculous and laughable that so many of these nut jobs think their demands would ever trump the parents.

I think the "rights" r more figurative, but u all are right, I'm the parent protecting MY child!

I feel the EXACT same! And DH doesn't take it as seriously as I do, cause they r his kids. I don't think he would even think to protect our child or that he would need to..... He lives in "wishful thinking land"
