Since they all lived with Mom, they were half-sibs. Also - I didn't know this but read it in a book. If a set of identical twin girls marries a set of identical twin boys, and they each have a child - genetically, the children are siblings - even though legally, they are cousins. They come form the exact same gene pool. Merry Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once http://www.stardancerpress.com/MerryStahel/ http://community.webshots.com/user/merrystahel |

Hopefully your DH is not following in Daddy's footsteps!LOL
Shelly "CNYstitcher" wrote in message ... Well, it's actually easier for me to understand this one than figuring out my FILs story/family. FIL marries Nancy, has 2 children, divorces, remarries Nancy and has 2 more. These children are all full-blooded siblings. FIL and Nancy divorce again and FIL marries LInda (aka Momma), who happens to be Nancy's cousin (and was the baby sitter for the children). Would she be considered the cousin or stepmother to the children, or both? FIL and Momma divorce, remarry, divorce again - no children. In the interim: son1 marries Janine (no children), son2 marries Georgane (G has 2 children from previous marriage), son3 marries Sally (2 children), son4 marries Larisa (me - 2 children). FIL marries Myrtle, mother of Sally (wife of son3).....does that meanthat Myrtle has gone from being son3's MIL to his stepmom, or does he still refer to her as his MIL?? Now in my family, once divorced, people didn;t marry back into the family, they chose new families to mix with...lol...... Larisa |

Nope. Since we both grew up the children of divorce, it is a word that
isn't even allowed in our vocabulary. We would rather spend money on couples therapy than destroy our family. However, in the 6 years we have been married, there have only been, um, 3 major arguments (if even that much) and they were the result of misunderstandings.

They come form the exact same gene pool. My sisters are identical twins...I always get a kick out the fact that their kids are genetical half-siblings. One set of kids is fair - blond haired and blue eyed, while the other set of kids is dark - black hair and brown eyes. One sister married a blue eyed, blond american. The other married a man from India. One of my nephews looks a lot like my son; what is really interesting is that a lot of their facial expressions are alike. Of course, neither of them want to hear this... lisae |

Somewhere along the line, Dad had a second wife (who was, we hope, not
related to anyone in this story). My mother. She deserved better. -- Ruth in Happy Camp "Teresa in Colorado" wrote in message nk.net... It's actually quite clear - The first wife of Dad had been married before to a man who already had a daughter ("first wife's first husband") This daughter was a step daughter to the first wife while she was married to the first husband. This daughter was not a step daughter any more after her father (the first husband) was out of the picture. First wife lost a husband and a step-daughter. The first wife eventually married Dad, but daughter was not related to first wife any more, so she wasn't related to Dad. Somewhere along the line, Dad had a second wife (who was, we hope, not related to anyone in this story). This daughter eventually became the 3rd wife. This reminds me of a recent sports article about local high school football players who, the article said, were 5th cousins. An analysis of the article revealed that they were 2nd cousins once removed. -- Teresa in Colorado -- "CNYstitcher" wrote in message ... I was going to ask that as well....I mean, is dad's 3rd wife, the daughter of his first wife? Or is dad's 3rd wife, the stepdaughter of his first wife? If she is the stepdaughter, there are no blood ties, but if his first wife gave birth to his 3rd wife, then there are problems....he married his stepdaughter, although again, there are no blood ties taria wrote: Is that legal? VBG Taria Ruth in Happy Camp wrote: Me, too, Donna. I thought I was confusing when trying to explain how my dad's 3d wife was the daughter of his first wife's first husband. -- Ruth in Happy Camp |

We could have a Match, if I could remember important stuff like that. The
last time I checked with the (half-)sister-who-counts-offspring, my dad had nearly 100 descendents. That was at least 25 years ago. In this day of divorce, there may be as many step- as blood-kids in the family. (I am the youngest kid, #9; I have NO kids.) -- Ruth in Happy Camp "CNYstitcher" wrote in message ...

My nephew and my son have such similar facial expressions, body language and
just plain personalities that my sister and I just shake our heads. They are 6 years apart. I babysat daily for my nephew when he was 5, so I got to know him pretty well. When my son got to be 5, it was really scary to see my nephew again in my son. It always felt like deja vu. -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér all in all --- a very slow quilter....

Stories like this make me think that genetic tendancy are more important than enviroment in determining temperments and personalitites. And the advantage is that I can always blame my parents for my faults... :-) lisae |

what I find most bizarre is that the guy kept remarrying women he had
divorced.. clearly could not make up his mind! CNYstitcher wrote: Well, it's actually easier for me to understand this one than figuring out my FILs story/family.
