Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
I'm crazy in love with my two sisters' five kids. I feel like helping to raise them would give my life meaning.
  • I wish my sister would come opt out with me!

    I have a sister in your shoes ... My other and I both have two young kids and live in the West... our unmarried mid-30s career sister lives on the East Coast... She comes to visit a couple times a year and loves our kids but I sure wish she'd opt out of her high-powered moneymoneymoney job and come live with us out here... My kids would love it, my sister's kids would love it ...

    Sniff sniff.

    Go for it! (I do agree with those who warn: Don't entirely neglect your own life. Pursue hobbies, pastimes, interesting career paths, whatever... No 13-year-old I know would rather hang out with his Auntie than with his friends).
