DD was having a pessimistic conversation about where would they be if Mummy and Daddy died at once.
I told them their uncle has agreed to look after them, even though he doesn't really speak to me. He is the same age as me, has no children to care for and is one of the most level headed people I know!
He loves my kids and has fun with them but also disciplines them in a way I find acceptable.
He is the best person to have them.
They are now saying they would rather have Auntie X. Auntie X is wonderful and would have a lot of involvement in their lives, especially DDs, as they have interests in common. BUT she is not the right person to have sole responsibility for my DCs.
Auntie X is also married to uncle who is blood, and I fear she may leave, so not a good choice!
