DearPrudie: I wish we could do this, but there’s just no way.
My sister and her husband are updating their will and have asked my husband and I to care for their two sons if they die unexpectedly. On paper, we’d be happy to take on this role—we are parents of three kids ourselves, we’re close with my nephews, and have similar parenting approaches and values. Lurking under this is money. We’re raising our three kids on a frugal budget. I’m a teacher, and my husband has complications from early 2020 COVID that limit him to part-time work at best.
How do I talk to my sister about this? It’s heartbreaking. The foster system would surely be worse than us, but I can’t figure out how we could afford my nephews.While I hope that you never have to face this situation, it’s important to pay attention to the anxieties the planning is bringing up. In updating her will, your sister is trying to provide as much support as she can for her sons, and I think part of that support extends to making sure their caregivers are prepared and supported.
