[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn’t care less about DH sibling’s kids. Sorry, not sorry. I too could go the rest of my life without seeing them and be fine with it. I also assume DH feels the same about my family, I expect as much and as just fine with it. Truth be told, I tolerate my nieces and nephew, that’s the extent. I save my energy and love for my own kids. [/quote]

Would you take them in if any of them were going to foster care?[/quote]

No! And should not be guilted or expected to.[/quote]

Wow. I’m childfree and basically dread being around kids, but I’d totally take in my sister in law’s kids if she and her husband both died. That’s your family, you know. [/quote]

It's too big a financial and mental responsibility. You'd basically be housing, feeding, and [b]paying for their college[/b]. And do you think they'd care for you in your old age? Unlikely, so no. Not taking anyone in. [/quote]

Nice thing to do, but not legally or morally required.[/quote]

Is a child’s college education not covered in DC if their raised by a family member? Even in hell hole Florida they have this safety net![/quote]
