Ugh - that poor baby .

LittleBella · 07/04/2008 20:03

Oh yuk

Have heard of this happening with siblings quite often when they haven't grown up together. Somehow seems worse when it's a father and daughter, though I don't know why.

NomDePlume · 07/04/2008 20:03

it must be down to that genetic sexual attraction thing, surely.

Eurgh

god we really need a vomit emoticon on this site.

Poor poor baby

It's very sad really. They've never had a father/daughter relationship - that would be pretty twisted, but I honestly can't find myself feeling anything other than a deep deep sadness. I can't see it ending well for any of them.

waffletrees · 07/04/2008 20:21

OK - they wanted to be perverts together but why, why, why have babies??!!

hecate · 07/04/2008 20:24

It's actually quite common for family members who only meet each other in adulthood to be sexually attracted to each other - less common to act on it, precisely because it is so taboo. But there are many cases of children given up for adoption, meeting their biological parents and reporting feelings - from either or both - of almost a need to sleep together. siblings, father & daughter, mother & son. According to studies, GSA happens a lot, apparently it's growing up together that normally stops you from feeling sexually attracted to your family. They're not freaks of nature - they are nature!!!

Greyriverside · 07/04/2008 20:26

Anything the baby suffers socially later on will be done by other people - non perverts.
However I think it's wrong for two people to have a child if there is a chance it will be genetically damaged.

jofeb04 · 07/04/2008 20:51

Wouldn't call them freaks tbh, or perverts.

As someone who was searching for my biological siblings, I was actually warned that these feelings can develop.

Very for the baby though

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 07/04/2008 21:34

This was in one of the trash mags last week. Although the news papers etc suggests they had not met until 2000, in the mag (Closer I think) they were interviewed and she said she'd had contact with him prior to this, had stayed with him and her step mother when quite young, and in contact with him when she was first married to her husband.
During the interview, I think she said that she crept into his bed whilst visiting him after splitting up with her husband and they started sleeping together.
I feel very sad that they had a child - I know that these things happen, but surely, in knowing they are related, they should have taken responsibility to NOT get pregnant.

MadameCh0let · 07/04/2008 21:39

i THOUGHT it said that the baby died. Was there another child who lived?

Very sad really, but I would TRY and walk away if that were me. There are other men, you know! So what happens when they break up? She can't go back and make him her 'Daddy' then.

I wonder if the girl's mother is around? What the hell must she feel?

They had two children, one died of a heart problem in 2001, the second is nine months old.

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 07/04/2008 21:44

the girls mum is around. In the Closer article, she said that she talks to her mum but that she doesn't accept the relationship. They were keen to point out that the first baby that died was nothing to do with them being related.

MadameCh0let · 07/04/2008 21:53

I can't believe that they went ahead and had another baby. (no matter what they say).

The poor girl's mother, they're choosing to do this. it must be torture for the girls mother..

thisisyesterday · 07/04/2008 21:58

didn't know that hecate.

but I wonder why they feel that need more so than with any other person?
I mean, of all the men I come across in my day to day life I don't really have a desire to bed any of them, well not that many anyway.
so why do people in that situation often feel sexually attracted to siblings/parents?

genuinely really interested in this if anyone knows the answer

Yes oops, One of my exes looked a lot like my dad i guess. I mean that's not what I saw in him but other people noticed it. same colouring, face shape, height and good humoured and clever but lazy and without much ambition....

I think I read somewhere that anybody who lives in the same house as you when you are under 7 will not be sexual to you.

ONe reason that this type of thing happens is that we are told almost constantly that the most important relationship is the romantic pairbond. When people meet a relative that they had no experience of growing up with, there will be lots of positive emotions, excitement, the feeling that someone is very special, that he/she understands more than anyone else could, etc. And because of the endless romance propaganda, a lot of people translate that kind of exicting good feeling into romantic/sexual love. And it all goes horribly wrong. (though to an extent if it's siblings who never previously met and they either don't want DC or have their genetic history thoroughly investigated, I can't get that horrified about it, because the objections to incest are about it's being an abuse of power as much as about the genetic risks.)
