Family question

[draqon]

Say a man married two women, from first woman he had a son, from second woman he had a daughter, what is a family relation between that son and the daughter? is she a cousin, sister? any ideas?

 

[Orleander]

half brother and sister since they share a parent.
My son and daughter are half brother and sister since they share the same mother but not the same father.

 

[draqon]

so how would the son call her? (Thank you Orleander)

 

[Orleander]

I suppose he could introduce her as "this is my half-sister Jane" but in this family they are just brother and sister. We don't bother with the half crap. Just like my son doesn't say my husband is his step-father. He's his Dad.

 

[draqon]

thank you.

 

[S.A.M.]

I have a "half" brother. I call him my brother.

 

[cosmictraveler]

If I had a half brother I'd call him a "half wit"!

I too have a half brother.I'm only half as smart as he but he is only half as good looking as me.So it works out ok,at least half the time.We share a mother.He says he wishes he was my full brother,so I told him to ask my dad for half of his semen.He couldn't do it.
