To think not Arnold Scwharzeneggar's love child should have been invited to his half sister's wedding?

Saw this in the daily fail. Arnold's daughter Katherine got married to Chris Pratt the other day but her half brother (love child) wasn't invited.

I don't understand why she invited her dad who was responsible for said love child's existence because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants, but not her half brother ?

Also Beyoncé has no relationship with her father's love child ( reportedly- the mother of the love child is broke but Beyoncé doesn't help financially).

If it was me, I'd have a relationship with a love child of my parents. I would hold no ill will towards them since they, like everyone, didn't have a choice in being brought into the world.

What say you?

Just because you would have, doesn’t mean she has to. There are probably lots of reason he wasn’t invited and all them have nothing to with you or us.

Just because you know what her face looks like and know of her parents, doesn’t mean you know her or have the right to pass judgment.

@WhiteRedRose

I was thinking the same thing when I read this! I think I read somewhere he’d become a bit full of himself since landing the star lord roll and she wasn’t impressed by it. Who knows though...

Frankola · 11/06/2019 21:13

If she's never had a relationship with half sibling then why should she?

I wouldn't Hmm

ChewbaccaHutchinsCool · 11/06/2019 21:16

Exactly, Eleanor.

FenellaVelour · 11/06/2019 21:20

I have a full sibling who was adopted at birth as my mother was 16 at the time and in the 60s that was a big no-no.
I only met her as an adult, don’t know her well, and would not consider her in the same way I think about my family.
Ultimately it’s nobody else’s business.

Butchyrestingface · 11/06/2019 21:21

If I had vast wealth and I knew my half siblings were living in poverty, I would definitely help them.

Why would a half-sibling you've never met be more deserving of your charity than any other perfect stranger (who may live in far more straightened circumstances)?

As for why he didn't appear to be at the wedding, why would he? Did you invite total strangers to your wedding? What about the possibility that his presence there might upset the bride's mother?

LoeweHammock · 11/06/2019 21:25

The time to reach out to the half sibling is not on a wedding day in my opinion.

There is an audience for a start. It's just not the right time.

Also, as pp says, bit disrespectful to I cannot remember her name, Arnie's wife (x wife?)

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 11/06/2019 21:27

People tend to love their parents, even when they've behave atrociously. AS was probably at his dd's wedding because there is love and years of good relationship.
KS clearly doesn't have that with her half brother.
Perhaps she thought her mum would enjoy her wedding more if not faced with the product of her husband's affair with the maid! Personally if I was getting married my mum's feelings would come first in this situation.
As for Beyonce having any financial obligations to her father's child - are you mad? Is there some reason why he can't pay child support?
I wouldn't be helping out the woman who had hurt my mum if I was in her shoes either.

Clutterbugsmum · 11/06/2019 21:41

How do you know that she didn't. She may have invited him and HE chose not to go.

I invited my brother to my wedding but HE chose not to come. Hasn't effected our relationship at all.

It is just a bit conceited to think that they would accept money from a half sibling.

As for
Jesus and if you don't care, don't post.
You have shaken a lot of trees with a post that you haven't really thought about other people's situations.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 11/06/2019 22:12

Why would anyone other than the family give a shit about this?

lotusbell · 11/06/2019 22:20

Christ, give OP a break! She's merely speculating, observing, commenting on something that's been in the papers, thinking out loud and musing on the situation, passing the time of day which we all do! Plus, OP has a half sibling so has good reason to ask questions. She won't be the first person to comment on the fact the Schwarzenegger kids don't have contact with their half siblings. There are some proper cunts on this site, just nasty for nastys sake.

lotusbell · 11/06/2019 22:21

I'm looking at you, @BettyUnderswoob. Telling OP to get a life and saying she knows the square root of fuck all. You're just plain rude!

BettyUnderswoob · 11/06/2019 22:25

Actually, I said OP knew the square root of fuck all ABOUT THESE PEOPLE, which is absolutely true.

And I most certainly did not tell OP to get a life.

Biancadelrioisback · 11/06/2019 22:29

Well OP has already admitted to not knowing the ins and outs of the relationships (or lack thereof). Then she speculated and blamed the mum? Funny that.

lotusbell · 11/06/2019 22:33

Oh I do beg your pardon, you said hobby. Maybe OP's hobby is reading celeb news in the papers! As I said, she is commenting on a situation that she can empathise with, she's asked for opinions and thoughts on the matter, she's not criticising and she certainly didn't suggest Beyonce SHOULD pay for her half sibling yet nearly every person commenting is having a go at the OP for daring to ask a question. Give it a rest, many of us pass comment on celebrity lives, it's only human. You were just rude. Who are you to tell anyone to get a hobby?!

Slapdasherie · 11/06/2019 22:35

If telling someone to get a life is rude, what does calling people proper cunts qualify as?

lotusbell · 11/06/2019 22:36

@Biancadelrioisback, do any of us? She made a suggestion that is as valid as any by saying the mother may have put a stop to it. As I said, it's passing comment on a news item, is it doing any harm?

BoneyBackJefferson · 11/06/2019 22:37

lotusbell

As I said, she is commenting on a situation that she can empathise with,

As are many others, they just don't agree with the OP.

Biancadelrioisback · 11/06/2019 22:38

Well no, that's why I'm not passing comments and making up scenarios about why they may or may not have a relationship with someone else...

lotusbell · 11/06/2019 22:38

@Slapdasherie, oh undeniably rude! But it's still true. The sheer arrogance and smugness of some MN contributers regularly astound me.

ThanosSavedMe · 11/06/2019 22:38

For all you know they have met but have nothing in common or just don’t get on

There is no obligation to invite someone to your wedding simply because they’re related to you

Lumene · 11/06/2019 22:40

Who cares?

lotusbell · 11/06/2019 22:41

I'm not saying anyone has to agree with OP, it's the posters jumping on her back for even daring to think, let alone post such a question!

BettyUnderswoob · 11/06/2019 22:47

she's not criticising... she’s commenting

Haha, yes, commenting in a critical way! And yes I do think she was suggesting that Beyoncé should pay towards her half sibling.

You were wrong about both things I said, but are still calling me rude.

I suggested someone got a hobby; you call people cunts. You’re the rude one.
