[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't find OP off putting for questioning whether this is the right decision.

I find OP off putting for her bizarro tone where she discusses the death of her sister and these girls' losing their parent with an unbelievably flippant air about her. And acts as if when she takes these girls on it will be nothing but fun and games and cosmos in the big city! When in fact they will have just lost a parent and would be relocating in a dramatic way. She just doesn't seem like she's taking the whole thing seriously. Which is a strange thing to say considering the subject matter but seriously she really sounds so cavalier its making me agree with other PPs that this is a troll. [/quote]

+1 Taking in two kids, especially after a major trauma like losing a parent, is a huge decision and commitment. I don't blame OP at all for being unsure. But her tone regarding her sister, and the focus on superficial pros and cons of raising two more girls...very strange. I thought it was a troll post originally and now I really hope it is because these poor girls seem like they will be screwed either way. [/quote]

Doesn't sound like any kids in your care would come out too well either. You seem completely off-balance, unable to put things into perspective and understand another person's point of view. You also seem incapable or unwilling to realize it's impossible to convey all of the nuances of a situation on a message board. People do the best they can to communicate the intricate in simplistic ways. Posters of greater maturity and social intelligence are able to read between the lines and fill in the blanks.[/quote]

Ok OP. Whatever you say. Only respond to the posters who are sympathetic to you and ignore the fact that many many posters have found your attitude and tone to be bafflingly weird and out of touch and, yes, kind of cruel.[/quote]

Thank you for responding.

Have a great day!

Seriously PPs who are defending her. Look at this ^^^. This woman's sister is dying, her nieces are potentially losing their primary parent and she is contemplating taking them in and she's talking about cosmos and signing off posts XOXO. None of you find that bizarre?

Once again I TOTALLY understand that this would be a tough decision that would need to be weighed very heavily. I don't think she'd be a horrible person for deciding not to do it. But the tone of her posts is SO weird. [/quote]

YOU are so weird. If it bothers you so much, why not exit stage left instead of trying to incite and inflame others.

What are you, 12? We're talking adult matters here. Maybe it's time for you to leave the thread given that you're not getting the response you want.[/quote]

I just asked Jeff if you were real weirdo.[/quote]
