[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the time anything happens to your sister, the girls will likely be close to (or already) 14.  In 4 years they'll be old enough to go away to college...

With all of the other relatives that these girls have in their lives (grandma, other aunts/uncles) it sounds as though you would have a certain amount of help. Maybe the girls could even summer with Grandma or another relative to give you a break from parenting them.

If they were 3 I could understand the panic.  But these are 2 good 13 year old kids.....

I considered that as well. They'll be starting high school in the fall and those years fly.

The rest of the family lives too far away to help on a daily basis, but as you've said, at their ages they won't need that much looking after. They're at that fun age my daughter and I really enjoyed--cooking/baking together, sorting out boy/school drama, clothing, hair...

And yeah, if you think I struggled with this you can only imagine what I was thinking when she asked me 10 years ago. :oops: [/quote]
