Are you close to your nephews and nieces

Tweet

I have like 14 nephews and 10 nieces. The eldest is going to be 32years old. I used to be closed to my nephews but not my nieces. This is because the first 10 grandchildren that my late parent had is all boys. As I was younger those days, I tends to be more close to all these boys. When I had my first niece, I had started to work. Thus busy with work and friends. Some of my nieces talk among themselves that I dont really care about them. I try to bond with them by asking them out for show or dinner, but most of my niece refused citing that they are busy with school work or if their parent not coming along, they dont want to come along. I felt sad when I came to know that they said I only loves the boys. For me, I love all my nephews and nieces since I dont have any child myself. But how to tell these nieces that I really do care?. BTW, one of my niece remark that I never gave her any present for her birthday till she is now 18 years. I admit when she is a bit older (about 10 years old) I stop giving her present cause I knew that whatever she wants she get from her parents who adores her as she is the only girl in the family (of course beside her mum). Now she hope that I can give her a Sony Viao for her next birthday. If I really have the money, I will buy for her one, but I can't afford. What can I get for her in return? Any idea. Do you think if by giving her present, she will be close to me?
