[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you explain this nicely to your working sister who wants school to reopen full-time to take care of her 2 children?

I’ve been watching them and willing to continue but I just asked her to let me homeschool them like I do my own children so I’m not juggling their school online schedules.  She refuses to even look into it and now her husband wrote me a strongly worded email about how homeschooling is good enough for my kids but not theirs.  Okay, what do you think you are doing?  We are all homeschooling now.

I just asked that she LOOK into it.  So then I said that I may not be able to then watch them full-time and she now is demanding that our parents do, which they agreed.  So her plan is to send them to school when it is open and then expose our parents when they are not.  This makes no sense.

And no it is not a money issue.  My sister maybe makes $40k at a nonprofit and my BIl easily makes half a mil in construction.  Making us all her free sitters seems ridiculous.

You are way outside your lane. Tell your sister you can watch her kids if she wants you to homeschool them with yours but otherwise it is too difficult and you cannot.

What she and your parents choose to do if they do not take you up on your very generous offer is up to them.[/quote]
