[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 236925, member: 1233"] I have been thinking about this a lot lately. husband doesn't have a will and won't write one. I have one but it is pretty basic. Our BIG problem is who to take the children. My parents are not young. It seems unfair to ask them, esp after they took Wiz to live with them. His parents (dad and stepmom) are older than mine, and not in the right mind-frame to raise our kids. His mother is simply unfit to raise guppies. She truly has 1 too many bats in her belfry. My brother would take them, but it would be a BAD situation all around. He is VERY rigid in his ideas/plans/etc... And he has very unrealistic expectations, in spite of having a daughter. husband's sister only wanted one child. She openly told us not to name her and her husband guardians, because all she wanted was one child. I have an aunt and uncle who have kids about Wiz and Jessie's age, but again, they don't want any more kids. They have values that are VERY different from ours, and my kids would be incredibly uncomfortable with them. The kids don't even want to spend a WEEKEND with them. That is pretty much it for relatives. we are so stumped. If anything happens to both of us in the next couple of years, my parents would problem insist on taking custody. But I worry about her health and how she would handle things (my mom). Sigh. Susie [/QUOTE]
