Military husband insists on adopting 10-year-old sister, expects 23-year-old wife to become her primary caretaker: 'I am not ready for this'

All families are complicated, and it's all but inevitable that if you get married to someone you have to accept you are only going to be adding to your own complications. However, it's also true that there is a fine line between supporting your partner through their issues with relatives and being made to take on an unfair burden. It's no secret that in-laws can cause all kinds of problems, and you have to know where your boundaries are.

This has become a problem for one newlywed, whose husband placed some lofty expectations on her regarding his family. He wanted to take his 10-year-old sister out of a bad living situation with his mom by adopting her, but he is in the military and most of the childcare would fall on his wife. Understandably, she had her reservations about this proposal, and it gave the internet a lot to think about.
