[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe people are missing my two issues.

1.  She's said I'm an unfit mother to my own child, by implying I can't raise hers.

2.  She's picked someone who will ensure I never see my niece and nephew, simply because she thinks I'm a killjoy.

By the way, I said PPD.  That's over and done with, and my child is two years old.[/quote]

1) Your sister is not suggesting that you're an unfit mother in any way.  There are MANY people in my family whom I would not want to raise my children.  That doesn't mean I think they are unfit to raise their own.  They just have different values or parenting styles than my husband and I do.  For example, my husband and I are not religious, so why would I designate a religious sibling to be my kids' guardian?

It sounds like you have some insecurities about your own ability to parent and you're projecting your issues onto your sister's decision.  I think you may need to speak to a therapist.

2) I think you're completely, 100% wrong that your sister's best friend would prohibit these children from seeing you.  If the kids lost both of their biological parents, do you honestly think the best friend would also alienate them from their biological aunt?  And the only reason being that you bailed on your sister's bachelorette party?  I think you need to trust your sister's judgment in both best friends AND in guardians a little more than that.

Seriously, your perception of reality is wayyy out of line.  [/quote]
