“Your brother needs a home. It’s a big decision and big change for your household so I understand theoretically that it should be a conversation with your wife and a decision you make together.”
“But what else is the kid going to do, go to foster care? And if it’s not your responsibility as the only living relative then whose responsibility is it?”
“Mostly your wife kinda sucks for not jumping on this no-brainer decision with an emphatic yes. It may end up being a not great situation for your brother. Are you sure you want to put him through that?”
“Keep the brother, lose the wife.”
“It’s about 4 years till baby bro goes to college. That’s 4 years they get to help baby bro, and maybe baby bro can help them. I don’t see how this is a negative at all.”
“This is a moment where this kid’s life is falling apart, and all she can think of is that her husband won’t pay attention to their newborn potato.”
“You and your brother just lost your parents, and your wife wants you to put him up for adoption?? That’s one of the coldest, cruelest things I’ve ever heard.”
“Your wife sounds totally selfish and heartless! If she really loved you, she wouldn’t ask you to do such a thing. You will never forgive yourself for even considering doing that to your only sibling, let alone if you actually do it.”
