English Language & Usage Asked on January 10, 2021
My mother has a boyfriend, he has kids. How do I refer to them in relation to me besides saying my mom’s boyfriend’s kids. My mother is not biologically related to her boyfriends kids.
A version of the popular phrase, "My brother from another mother" comes to mind. How about "My brother from my mother's significant other? or the shorter "Siblings from mom's (or dad's) Significant Other."

There's the term "prospective step-siblings", which implies a significant possibility that the parents will get married. You could also precede "step-siblings" with a variety of modifiers, such as "quasi", "pseudo", "para", "almost", etc. You could also apply modifiers directly to "siblings", either the above, or another such as "meta", "allo", etc.
