[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure picking a guardian who will keep her children from their family is a good call.

Anyway, it doesn't help with my extremely low self-esteem.  It makes me think my child is better off with someone else.[/quote]

Take these feelings to therapy, not to your sister.[/quote]

I haven't told my sister those feelings, only DCUM right now.  If I'm not suitable for family, why would I be suitable to take care of my own child?  Serious question.[/quote]

I didn't pick my sister either, but it doesn't mean that I don't think she's a great mom to her kids who I love very much and who are very close with my dd. I truly love my sister and her parenting style works for her and her kids but we didn't see it being the best fit for dd. That being said, we also hope that they would always have a relationship no matter what.

We picked good friends who know both sides of the family, BUT we also discussed it with our family members so that there wouldn't be any be any surprises if, God forbid, that time comes.

Is there a reason you haven't talked to her about it? And if you do, are you able to do it in a way that doesn't make it just about you?[/quote]
