Sibling relationships

My partner is going through contact issues yet again so currently isnt seeing his child, that's a whole other story. We have a 7 month old together and obviously she's not seeing her older sibling who is 5 and hasn't for around 3 months now. Does it upset any other parents your child doesn't get to know their step siblings or doesn't it bother you as the other child isn't yours? I feel a bit torn, i stay out of the all drama, but i do feel my baby is growing and changing every day and doesn't get to see her step sibling which is the only sibling she has. It's quite a sad situation.

Half siblings not step.
(Sorry pedantic I know)
At 7 months old it won't make much of difference to your DC right now but could make things difficult with your step DC.
Assuming that your partner is going through the courts access will get sorted hopefully before it becomes an issue for your DC. Also when your DC is a bit older and able to interact more with your step DC and becomes more "interesting " a bond can be forged quite quickly

Sorry yes, half siblings. I suppose you're right and will have to see how things turn out further down the line x
