As the children got older, it became clear that my sister would never have kids. But she still has a lot of ideas about how kids should be raised, especailly mine. Children should just be quiet and serve. And not take up so much time, or money, or be such an important part of life. (Some ideas typical of some childfree people) It doesn't hurt me that she feels that way, and I don't try to change her. BUT, if they (we have 2) were her genetic (she says her firstborn...) kids, she would feel 10x, 100x stronger about these issues. Her parenting values are different than mine (very) which would be OK if she had her own to practise on. I think this would have split our realtionship. On the other hand, if she had kids by my DH, whoa, trouble coming...
He has very high standards about how kids should be raised. We have boys. If she had a girl, OMG the diagreements that would follow.
Just a recipe for disaster. Finding a great egg donor is very difficult. But finding a great sperm donor...no.
I would not want to be in the middle of that. Parenting is hard enough.
