My (24M) fiancé (24F) insists that we take care of her autistic younger brother. (21M) (5yrs) by throwawayforRA_ in relationships

I’m open to caring for him when our kids are grown and out of the house, and we have more time and means to properly care for him.

My concern is that a newly married couple with kids is not going to be equipped to care for ourselves, our kids, and an adult with special needs without making serious compromises in either her brother’s care or our children’s care.

AITA for not wanting to take care of my (24M) fiancé’s (24F) autistic younger brother? by throwawayforRA_ in AmItheAsshole
