Would it be a bad idea to raise my niece for my sister? I have no experience with children but she's very unhappy at the moment, we get along great though. She always opens up to me.
>>
Does your sister actually prefer her other daughters? How old is your niece? Do you have enough money to support her?
>>
>>38490841
I'm not around all the time but I have seen some small cases of it but I don't think she does it intentionally. I don't think in her heart she prefers any of her daughters. I think she sees it as the youngest one needs the most care because she's the youngest and she always relies on the oldest one because she's the oldest and they end up having this really close dynamic. It's probably frustrating for a middle child. She probably has shown some preference more often than she would admit, she's not perfect.

My niece is 10. I have more than enough money to support her, I'm just one guy and I live far below my means. Taking on a kid her age wouldn't be a huge blow to me at all but I'm just one guy. I don't have a wife or anything to look after her when I'm working and I don't have any experience raising a child, it's not the ideal situation. I feel like as a single dad, I would be mediocre. I love her and I'd try my best but I have no confidence in myself.

Lvl 36 wiz here, some times I've played with the idea of adopting a kid. Haven't checked if they'd let a single guy adopt or anything. But it's the same thing I guess, no clue how to raise a kid, feels as if I was more ready for the task in my early 20's, maybe because I had to look after my little sister a lot back then.
In many ways your situation seems like a rare opportunity, if it was me I'd probably suggest we'd give it a try for a while, see how the girl likes it and how everything works out. You could hire some chill maid or something to be around a bit whenever you're away working.
>>
No, your niece belongs with her sisters and mother. She has to learn to get along with them, not be separated and let it get worse.

Offer to take her for a month long 'vacation' from each other to see how it goes, get a feel-out for the situation and any pitfalls you might encounter. Just make sure she's fed, clean, and has access to your loli doujins and she'll figure out the rest.
>>
Why is the word cuck even being used? You're not a cuck looking out for your own flesh and blood. That's what you're supposed to do, that's being a man.
>>
Really have to advocate for letting the niece live with her mom. Maybe you can look out for her some weekends or a whole week every now and then.

The main issue is that however sweet and nice she seems now, all girls will become a pain to deal with eventually. It will take her a while though. Only once she subconsciously realizes your place is her home.
>>
Do it anon. It will brighten both of your lives. Don't leave a little girl in misery.

She's 10 mate, she's just being bratty
She probably has a lot of stress, but you my wizard friend are not fit to raise a child

even with no experience help, it's for your family, don't be rapey or weird
>>
>>38491832

Do you honestly think the parents of any one of us, or of any normie, chad, or stacy was 'fit' to be a mom or dad or raise another human being until that responsibility was dropped on them? No anon, they weren't. No more than anon is, no more than you or I would be. At least this nigga seems to actually care, and, if he's not bullshitting, more than has the means to make sure she's fed, clothed, and kept clean, which is more than most people being first time parents can say.

She might be being bratty, but having a month long visit with uncle anon might not be a bad idea, even if that's only as long as it lasts.

I don't think you should go so far as to let her move in, but that doesn't mean you can't play a more active role in her life. Hell you could even let her stay the weekend to get some breathing room away from the family now and then. You said it yourself, being the middle child sucks. You can still take her out when her mother gets overwhelmed and provide an ear to listen when it feels like everyone else is too busy to care.

But raising a kid full time is a huge responsibility.

>>38491668
>Why is the word cuck even being used?
Because it lost all meaning a long time ago. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone was called a cuck for raising their own children instead of running around knocking up a bunch of bar sluts while avoiding child support.

why dont you go live with your sister?

That's a very big gamble my friend. I don't think having a daughter will suddenly make me a chick magnet, probably the opposite.

>>38491354
>>38491614
Not a bad idea. The only issue with a trial run is I'm pretty sure she's not going to change her mind no matter what. She's had this problem with her mom for a long time now, it's just her dad was around to make it easier.

>>38492059
>>38491718
That's kind of what I've been doing. I've been trying to be there for my nieces when I can but yeah, it doesn't seem like it's enough for at least her.

>>38492076
Well one, I don't want to. Two, my sister doesn't want me to either. I offered to help my sister more out financially but she refused. My sister is stubborn and while she's okay with a little help, she only took it under the condition she'd pay it back. She doesn't want to leech off her little brother.

Do it man.
Keep in mind the main reason to do it is to help relieve economically and emotionally your sister. Not to fulfill the childish desires of your niece.

It does not matter if you dont know how to be a parent. The paternal instinct will kick in and you will be fine. Im pretty sure that would be an enriching experience for you.

I would suggest finding a nanny to take care of her while you are working, not all day but a few hours to entertain her and keep an eye on her.

Also, you are gonna need a lot of advise for small things. Dont ask /r9k/, you dont want the advice of spegs on this kind of stuff. Ask /adv/.

I'd say you take her in for a weekend or something and see how things go from there. Maybe even like a week or so.

I think you should raise her OP. Being the middle child is complete shit. At least with you, you'll be her exclusive daddy.

>>38492217
>She doesn't want to leech off her little brother.
convince her that you are just "caring about YOUR family"
>>
>>38490786
The crux of the issue seems to be whether or not this is good for her. On one side, she's only 10 and still has a lot of growing up to do. Learning to live with her family is something that's absolutely imperative for her, because if she loses that connection it will come back to haunt her later in life. On the other hand, there is the chance that being the forgotten middle child and dealing with the anxiety of just being a kid will do more harm than teaching the lesson that family isn't something you choose. This is how fembots are made.

You should take some more time to talk to both her and your sister so you two can discern the best possible course of action for your niece's wellbeing.
>>
Do it. You will literally change her life for the better.
>>
>>38490786
How old is your niece? Do you live close?

Taking in a child is a big responsibility maybe you can offer her baby steps? She could come over for weekends or on vacations just to get some time away from the situation that's upsetting her. Having a good male role model is really important for children and you sound like you can provide that but taking in a child is a lot of responsibility. I get it's family and you love them but escapism is common for children going through loss and fracturing the family unit further may do more harm than good in the long run. I obviously don't know your situation but you sound like you're really trying to do the right thing which is really commendable. If it were me I would find some sort of compromise try and provide a father figure and maybe help repair her relationship with your sister (if it's not too far gone) you can always be the cool uncle that she can come to if things get too bad without full on adopting her.
>>
>>38490786
if you do end up taking her in, make sure you can provide the strong male ideal that girls need growing up, otherwise she'll turn out to be a huge slag with daddy issues

don't forget the possibility that it might one of those things which she might regret later so make sure everyone is able to stay in contact easily to avoid any possible problems down the line
>>
seems like a rash decision that everyone should just sleep on for a little bit. if you could actually provide stability then maybe seriously consider it.
>>
I think you should. Mom's don't give up their children very easily so if she's okay with it then she probably thinks being with you is better than being with her.

>>
>>38492217
I agree with the other anons on the whole trial run thing. Just make it clear that it's just a trial run from the start. What you're considering is a selfless act, but don't bite off more than you can chew. Coming from someone who was in a very similar situation to your niece in the past, there's no way to completely save her. The damage has been done and she will always carry the scars. The most you can hope to do is lessen the burden placed on her and her family. You sound like a good person, OP, and I'm certain that your nieces appreciate what you do for them, but you have to establish boundaries. She's not your daughter and acting like a surrogate father to her would not be healthy for either parties.

Regardless of whatever happens in the end, though, it sounds like your nieces will benefit from your presence, anyway. I wish I was as good a person as you.

Let her stay over every now and then, maybe weekends here and there with a sibling or friend who won't call you a pedo.

Take her out to do things instead of cooping her up inside every day like her mother. Get her interested in an active hobby so she doesn't become another boring netflix roastie.

I recommend photography and trail biking.

Transition from cool uncle to cool dad. Milfs love cool dads.
>>
Raising a child is always a bad idea.
>>
>>38493130
Either this or move in nearby. You won't fracture the family and all three girls will need a father figure in their lives or they'll turn into sluts with daddy issues.
>>
>>38493164
I don't think she'd hate OP, they seem close. Every parent has their pride though so of course she'd be hurt seeing one of her daughters try so hard to get away from her.
>>
You should definitely do it. Your sister has failed her, she needs a loving father figure in her life.
>>
Won't your other nieces feel left out if you adopt one of them? It's like she gained a daddy and they didn't.
>>
>>38492217
>That's a very big gamble my friend. I don't think having a daughter will suddenly make me a chick magnet, probably the opposite
I'm a lady and I'd find this very attractive. My roommate does this and I have a crush on him and his girlfriend also found it to be an attractive quality in him.

Take her to do interesting stuff. Make her cool. Take her to d&d. Teach her magic. Watch anime. Build stuff together. Give her a chance to be better than basic.
>>
Robots would make shit parents.
>>
>>38490786

her teenage years will probably put you through the ringer emotionally but if this is your niece it'll probably be worth it anyway. If she does live with you, teach her some basic cooking stuff for meals so she can make food while you're at work. Also get her braces if you can afford it and if she needs them, you'll that me later

A trial run would be ideal in this situation. I agree with all the other anons and the trial run idea. See how it works out, and if it proves to really help your sister financially and really help your niece emotionally, then stick with it. I hate that I'm agreeing with a (alleged) woman, but >>38496940 is right. Do cool things with your niece if you do take her under your wing.

And ignore the fags calling you a cuck, raising a member of your blood family is never cuckoldry.

>>38492535
Reminder that fembots do NOT exist. At the very worst, a female may only fall down to failed normie.
