[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go with the younger sister, if you are just picking.

Do not go with the racist grandma, especially if your daughter is a minority.

When you are sober, talk with your husband.  Look at all the possible candidates, and figure out which ones A) hold the most similar values on the most important things: religion, family relationships, politics, moral values, etc  B) Would parent the most similarly to how you both parent: ie the less important things, from how/what to eat, socializing, interests C) Are the most fiscally stable and/or have the best financial habits and D) who would be least burdened by your child.

IMO, grandparents are out.  The child is likely to be a burden to them as they age, and due to their age, they are likely to be a burden to the child, not just health issues but social issues as well: what to wear, how/when to date, music, running around to activities.

You should pick a guardian that is most likely to give your child the kind of life you would have given them.  Assigning guardianship to someone based on the feelings and competitiveness/control of the adult is very unfair to your child.[/quote]
