My parents are too old and my siblings are too mired in difficulties. But I'm hesitant to bring up the idea with friends.
  • stop being so superior

    If you can't even talk to your friends who you want to entrust with your children and you think you have the right to "appoint guardianship to someone without notifying them now"! YOU are not as free of those deep emotional or psychological problems you tar your siblings with.

    We're all scarred with emotional problems (also called LIVING) and you should be realistic about your siblings. OR not. But get real and don't be so snobby about your "perfect" selve. If you could see inside your friend's living room when the curtains are closed you'd learn they have emotional problems too, we all do. They must not be very good freinds if you can't talk to them about planning for your kids' future, so you don't know them or their emotional problems very well. REalize you just know your sibs' problems cuz you know them well. Other folks don't just not have them, you just don't know them well enough to know their problems. We all have them, it's Called BEING HUMAN.
