Anger as woman refuses to look after terminally ill sister's children when she dies

A woman has sparked a heated debate online after refusing to take her terminally ill sister's children when she dies - despite her desperate pleas.

The 25-year-old, who moved away from the UK several years ago, was given the heartbreaking news that her older sister, 31, has an inoperable brain tumour, which will drastically shorten her life.

Her sibling has three children, a six-year-old, a two-year-old and a newborn, and has begged her to look after them when she is gone, as there is no other family to care for them and she doesn't know the paternity of the youngsters, the Mirror reports. "Her ex-husband wants nothing to do with the kids since she had cheated on him for years with many men and they aren't his," she wrote on Reddit's AITA forum.However, the woman has decided she won't take on her sister's kids as she and her husband agreed not to have children when they got married."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," she explained.Not only that, she and her husband are atheist, while her sister wants her children to be raised in church, which obviously wouldn't fit in with their lifestyle."A six year age gap meant we didn’t really grow up together, and the memories I do have she was always awful to me, like cynical.
