Our close friends went through this exact situation. He was a quiet kid to begin with so he just stayed really quiet, but became a brother. Frankly it all worked out, and he's attending Carnegie Mellon this year.

I (we) struggle with this. We set up our will a few years ago (before a ski trip) ironically. And now I'm struggling again as we ar looking at an international trip for our 10th anniversary. Granted we have just as good a chance of getting taken out for good, taking uber across town, but long distance travel makes you think more.
We really have no ideal family we want to leave our child with. Right now her guardian is located in a bad town in a shitty state with shitty education prospects. They are family and my daughter loves them but their values are a lot more conservative than ours.
Our 2nd in line choice is not family, but friends who more progressive and are in a better town in the same shitty state, my daughter has never met them. At this point we don't have close enough friends where we live that we could ask to take on this responsibility.
It's really troubling. Thanks for bringing it up asshole.
And why the fuck do you even have to chime in on this mtngirl?
