I'm still catching up with the last thread, but peoples expectations of that Skanks family members should put their lives completely on hold to accommodate J & B if the worst happens isn't realistic. As much as everyone would like to be able to do that, in the real world it might not be possible for a variety of reasons.
In my opinion only, if that were me having it presented to me that I'm the kids' Granny or Auntie so it's expected that I should drop everything to take them on, well I'd be saying no I can't, sorry. I've got to work 7.30am to 5pm every day just to pay my own bills and keep a roof over my own head, how do you expect me to accommodate these kids and not earn a living at the same time?
I feel some people might think they know everything about her family's finances, but maybe there are very good reasons that NONE of them can take these children on without question just at the moment.
Absolutely agree. I wouldn’t be able to take my brothers kids on if this happened with him. Maybe if I were so rich that I could afford a full time live in nanny and private councillors/therapists on call. It would make me very sad to say no, and I’d always want contact with them but I’m simply not mentally stable enough, and the last thing they need to be around in a situation like this is to be left in the sole care of someone with their own serious issues.
