My Bro Called Me Selfish Because Tried To Guilt Me Into Raising His Kids What Happened Next Shocked

[@tpalmer1978]

Why put the responsibility on the brother. Why not ask his parents to help.

[@NancyBeecher64]

Why doesn:t anyone ask the parents to step up?

[@leedavis-m2o]

Why is 'family' so important to the people in these stories? It is BS. No one in any family is worth the crap these people put others through, all for something called 'family'. I would not allow any family member to ever do any of the things to me these people do. They knew better than to ask.

While I agree you couldn't take his children,I don't see why you and your wife couldn't have taken them for a weekend to give him a break.

[@RenierCronje]

Absolutely not. This brother would turn it into a regular occurrence. Before long, you'd find yourself sharing custody of children you never agreed to take on. And why should they have to sacrifice their weekends to care for someone else's kids? What part of "not wanting children" do you fail to grasp? And why can't the grandparents look after them?

[@itsjustme7487]

Yes. I agree.

Chris doesn't want help, he wants to pass on his responsibilities to his brother and sister-in-law and the grandparents, understandably, don't seem to want the responsibilities either. If he manages to offload his kids, how long before he goes on to produce more kids to not take responsibility for? Luckily for Chris, his brother and sister-in-law were prepared to do the right thing for him and his kids rather than any of the easy things.

Do you think Chris wanted this life!? Well I'm sure he didn't but just because life happened to him doesn't mean it now has to happen to us in conjunction. Also are you really abandoning someone that was never your responsibility in the first place

[@itsjustme7487]

Did Chris' wife work? the kiddos should get social security. My brother in law got it for his kids when my sister passed away. Aŕe any of the grandparents still alive? Any aunts or uncles to help with the kiddos?

I'd tell him if you force me to raise them, I would NEVER let him see the kids again in his life. I would also tell the kids their dad didn't want them. That would slow his jets.
