[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the relationship between niece and uncle. I have two child free aunts. If either of them ended up in a place where they needed care, I would consider it my duty to help them just as much as I would for my parents. To a certain extent I feel the same about my childless godparents. BUT! All these people helped raise me — they sent me gifts, hosted me on wonderful vacations, wrote me letters, helped pay for my college education, provided emotional support when I reached out, etc. And they are all making plans that don’t assume my sisters and in will be their sole source of support. Of course those plans may not work out but they’re trying. So if I ended up in the position your friend is I wouldn’t be resentful although I wold probably be stressed and sad.[/quote]
