She has some feelings about this. Kailyn Lowry of Teen Mom 2 fame doesn’t like it when her kids are referred to as half-siblings, even if that’s technically what they are. The reality TV star posted about this pet peeve on Twitter on May 20 in response to a clip from the Teen Mom 2 reunion in which Dr. Drew seemingly called them that.

Lux

Finally, in 2017, Kailyn gave birth to her third son, Lux Russell, with Chris Lopez. So yes, technically all of her kids are half-siblings.

But the Teen Mom franchise star has always made it very clear that in her mind, her kids are brothers, full stop.

Forever

For instance, in April 2018, Kail shared a photo of her boys playing, with one of the little tykes being pushed on a swing. “Brothers forever,” she captioned the adorable shot.

Happy Boys

She regularly posts photos of her boys all together, and it’s clear that she doesn’t see them as anything but brothers in one happy little family. They always look like 3 content little guys, too!

On Edge

Apparently, when anyone refers to her kids as anything but full brothers or implies such a thing, Kailyn’s hackles go up.

Touchy

“I got soooo mad about Dr. Drew calling my kids half-siblings,” Kailyn explained. Guess it’s a touchy subject for the TV personality.

She Knows

Kail continued, “I know, they are. But stop referring to them as half brothers every single time.” Her protective mama claws are out!

“Not Half Anything”

Some fans commended Kailyn for her remark. “As someone who only has half-siblings yeah it’s f–ked up I love them 💯 we’re not half anything,” one person responded.

Fair Point

Another replied, “I don’t agree with Kail often, but her point is that family is family. Her kids, they’re brothers. Period. Like you wouldn’t go around saying, ‘this is my adopted brother, Joe’ or ‘my half-brother Joe.’ You’d just say, ‘this is my brother Joe.'”

Can’t Win ‘Em All

However, other fans and followers weren’t so impressed with Kailyn’s response. (Can’t please everyone, right?)

Period

“In regards to your kids, you have bigger things to worry about,” someone else wrote. “They ARE half-brothers. Period. Thanks to your decision making they each are dragged into relationship drama and losing time with their siblings. 3×3 was your choice.” Yikes. Tell us how you really feel.

Agreed

For the most part, though, people agreed with Kail’s sentiment. “Somebody called my brothers my half siblings once [and] my grandpa yelled at them and said ‘do you see half a person walking around? No, so you better stop saying they’re half-siblings,'” one person commented. Go, grandpa!

Not the First Time

We’re willing to bet this is not the first time Kailyn has dealt with the “half-sibling” comment, and it probably won’t be the last. She probably has quite a bit of practice by now.
