I love being a Auntie and have the best nephew and nieces. love them so much that they make me want to have children of my own, that is till i babysit them for the weekend and realise how exhausting they are haha
I have a niece ... who my husband and I ultimately adopted . She’s a sweet little girl , lived through a pretty rough patch , but is starting to be a normal happy child again . Aunt Susan is still my name ... 🤷🏻♀️
@PlumBerries I wanted a daughter , but could only have one child of my own . She and I went shopping and got our hair and nails done .,, pure girls day ... and she loved it . Lots of questions ... but she had fun
Yep, when I lived back home in the South, I was the Aunt who told stories about history to the nieces and nephews. They were always asking me for more of 'em. I have one posted in my story area "The rant that backfired."
I'm an uncle of six and it's the same as you. It's fun looking after them for a bit but when it's a whole day, I wonder how parents manage to stay sane.
@PlumBerries Haha, luckily the eldest nieces are 17 and 18. The worry there is keep roving packs of teenage boys away from the house. A jet washer hose comes in handy!
@SW-User yeah I know what you mean.. feels like yesterday I was trying to figure out how to change their nappies without gagging and today they wanna talk about boys and make up or video games and stuff
I am a Godmother if that counts..The only thing I really look forward to..I love the responsibility and children :) Also hears this alot "yeah but you give them back" lol
Yeah, I have a nephew. Love the little bugger, but he has an energy level waaaay beyond mine.
Every time I visit, I end up consistently falling asleep while sitting on the couch... every single day. Then I come home and have little trouble staying awake.
It is nice for a few hours, but it also reaffirms my choice to never have kids.
