My sister is having a baby next month. By choice, she will be a single mother.
Last week, my mom told me that my sister would like me to be the guardian of her child if something were (god forbid) to happen to her.
This took me by surprise.
I assumed that my sister worked all of this stuff out already, since she knows I don't want children. My boyfriend doesn't want children, either.
I'm supposed to think about it and get back to my mom.
My boyfriend thinks I should say "yes" to keep the peace, and hope that nothing every happens.
But what if something does happen? I don't want a kid! I've never planned to have a kid. I don't think about having kids.
Today I got an email from my mom. She said whatever my choice was, she'd support it. But she also said, "Any other choice could result in this little man losing touch with our family... the family you love."
Thoughts?
