[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]

You are not obligated to pay for their college, but providing a safe home with bed and food, and opportunity to study in school is a great start in life. No  one is raising kids in the hopes that they will take care of you in the old age. Some people just do it out of love and care for children. [/quote]
