| Curious who people have chosen to be their children's guardians. |

I don't think wolves would be willing to raise mine. I asked my sister and told her I would haunt her if she didn't

 Good one.
We chose my sister who is 3 years younger than me and lives in the area. She is married, but we didn't name her husband in case they got divorced. We did not choose our parents because while they are all in good health, we did not want that burden on them. In case something happens to my sister, our best friend (who is also married with kids) is next in line. |

| Good friends who share our values. Set it up as soon as she was born because we didn't want her raised by either set of grandparents. Brother was active alcoholic at time and sister, who on her own is a good mom, was married to an active alcoholic at the time who would have made a lousy dad. |

We chose my sister because like 21:27 I wanted someone who shared my values. And because I trust her like no one else in the world. She also at one point said to me that she would "love them like they are my own" and I believe her. We named her alone and not her DH but we hope and assume that should anything happen that she will still be with my brother in law who I really like. Next in line is my brother who would take care of them but who would definitely consider them more of a burden then my sister would. Despite that, he is still the best/next logical choice. Both of our parents are much too old and DH's siblings are much older than mine-in addition, they are very strongly religious (and it isn't my religion).

| we have ours currently set up that my parents would be her guardians and his would handle finances. I have no siblings and I don't even trust my BIL with his own kids, let alone mine. Back up to parents is my husband's cousin, but she's currently #3 on the list. She has 3 kids of her own. |

| Husband's parents. I love my sisters but it would be one of those Lifetime movies where young partying adult suddenly has to grow up and raise her nieces and nephews. We don't have any family that lives in the area ...the kids see DH's parents the most because they make an effort to see us. My closest friends don't live in this area either. Besides, I know my family would be incredibly hurt if a friend was made guardian over a member of the family. |

| Husband's parents. MIL loves our kids to pieces but she's not in the best of health so we nay need to reconsider down the road. We did talk to sil about it and she was willing but doesn't see our LO's enough for them to get to know her. |

In this order:
My brother and sil My youngest sister and BIL My middle sister and bil If this order does not work for them at the Time, they'll work out among themselves. Whatever happens kids will not go to DH's redneck, fundamentalists brothers. |

I thought I was set with a good friend (and her husband), but her health took a terrible turn. So, I've just decided to live until my kids are of age. That certainly settles it, doesn't it? |
