nieces/nephews

I was wondering how hard would it be to take your niece or nephew to live with you for better opportunities (ofc with parents consent).

Would you be willing to either send your kid or take a kid with you?

I’m all for it and would raise the child as if he/she were my own only because I don’t want any kids who are family to me not have the same opportunities as my kids would have because of location/money.

Have you ever heard situations where relatives took in sisters/brothers kids?

Re: nieces/nephews

i would never ever ever send my child away to live with my sibling or my s/o's...
regardless of money and income nobody can love you like your own parents and it's cruel to think that ..

Re: nieces/nephews

There are parents who would send their kids to boarding schools, relatives place puchi its not really cruel. I don't think one loves their child any less because they do that. I think they love them enough to give them better opportunities.

Re: nieces/nephews

my big bro studied at one of my uncle's house...we lived in a village so he had to go to university in another city...as a result, we have much closer ties with the family of that uncle...i think it was the right thing for my parents to have sent him away to his uncle...or else, he would have NOT been able to receive the higher education.

great thing to do. I've seen it happen quite a bit

Re: nieces/nephews

I don't think I could send my child away, ever. I need her to be with me every single day, need to see her and hug her and be a mommy ... just thinking about sending her away makes me feel so sad :(

Taking my nephews in, if for some reason (khuda na khasta) my sister couldn't take care of them, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I love them just as if they were my own. I want whats best for them.

Re: nieces/nephews

yah thats what I meant if the parents couldn't take care of them or something god forbid happened to either one of them. Then I would want to take care of their kid/kids.

Re: nieces/nephews

Yea then I agree I would rather me look after my own flesh and blood any day..

Re: nieces/nephews

I would do it in a heartbeat...and I'd love my nieces and nephew like they were my own children because in my eyes...they are.

Re: nieces/nephews
