[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given her background/age/problems and your work schedule, I would not. I don't think you're able to make the kind of time commitment she needs, and I think she is going to be far more of a handful than you can imagine. It sounds like you're enjoying this phase of your life. Unless you're willing to put that all on the far, far backburner, I don't think this arrangement will work and I think it will be one more failed home for her.

You're a good person for considering it, but I think you'd be getting in over your head. You made a good life for you and your children, but you got to start with your children from birth. Starting from a troubled 13 year old is a totally different ball game. [/quote]
+1. Plus, inviting the cousin into your world will inevitably invite the other relatives in too, who you've worked to create distance from (the child's mother, the grandmother, the grandmother's sister.)Just wait until the felon cousins start showing up at your house, seeing you as a soft target to exploit and steal from.[/quote]
