| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some |
| 0:08.7 | ar slash am I the butthole. And if you love a Reddit story, why not consider hitting a like, |
| 0:14.0 | subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's dive straight into today's first story. |
| 0:20.0 | Now today's first story comes from climate 403 degrees, but it's compiled by Sailor Chibi, |
| 0:26.1 | titled, Am I the Asshole for refusing to take in my orphaned, nephews and niece, |
| 0:31.3 | and does follow with updates and additional information as well. |
| 0:35.1 | My sister 33 and her husband 36 passed away not too long ago, leaving |
| 0:40.9 | behind their three children, 14 male, 12 male and 8 female. We live in a pretty small town of under |
| 0:48.0 | 2,000 people and their deaths kind of shocked the community. Everyone is talking about it. Their memorials were up in the grocery |
| 0:56.0 | store the day after they passed. Another thing is everyone is wondering what will happen to their |
| 1:01.0 | kids. And the expectation seems to be that I will take them in. My circumstances, I am 23, I am single |

| 1:24.6 | rent on the land it's on. My main reason for not taking them in is that |
| 1:28.7 | I don't want to. I don't want kids of my own and I don't think I'm in a place to take care of |
| 1:34.4 | them. I've been told that money has been put aside to help, so I wouldn't be keeping us all |
| 1:39.2 | alive off of my loans, but it's only partly about the money. It's about not having the space they need, |
| 1:45.7 | interrupted my studies to take care of them, and suddenly becoming the caregiver of three humans |
| 1:50.7 | all on my own. It's a big job that I don't feel I measure up to. I was posed a question by my |
| 1:56.7 | parents. They're in a different country and can't help and the kids want to stay here anyway. |
| 2:01.6 | Friends and my sister's family all have children of their own, usually in batches of two to three |
