Selfish woman admits she wont take terminally ill sisters kids when she dies

A woman has caused a heated debate after revealing she won't take on her terminally ill sister's children when she dies.

The 25-year-old recently learned her older sister, 31, had been diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour.

Her sibling has three children, a six-year-old, a two-year-old and a newborn, as she begged her younger sister to step in.

Writing on Reddit, the woman explained how they have no other family and doesn't know the paternity of her kids.

She said: "Her ex-husband wants nothing to do with the kids as she had cheated on him for years with many men and they aren't his.

"It would be unfair to ask my husband to make this kind of sacrifice.

"We both agreed to no kids when we got married – to change something like that generally means a divorce."

Not only that, but she and her husband are atheist, while her sister wants her kids to be raised in a church.

She continued: "A 6-year age gap meant we didn't grow up together and the memories I have she was awful to me, like cynical.

"After she moved out at 18 we haven't talked once besides at my parents funeral. I don't even know her, let alone her kids."

The sister revealed how she called her awful, but she gets to be selfish about it.

Despite her reasoning, the woman had a number of people reach out to her to say she's making the wrong decision.

One wrote: "You aren't obligated to take on parenting children for any reason – the rest of the vitriol in this post was pretty unnecessary.

"That said, regardless of how you feel about your sister, she is a dying mother who is trying to deal with all that that entails and also making sure her children will be cared for."

Another added: "If you don't know these children at all, I don't see why your sister would want you to be their guardian.

"How could they possibly be comfortable with you after the loss of their mother?

"These so-called friends of hers would be better suited if they have an established relationship with the children."
