I'm an Auntie

I have A niece. She's 25. She FINALLY lives nearby and I've actually seen more of her in the last 3 years than I think I've seen in most of the rest of her life! Well, maybe not, but certainly more than any previous 5 years of the rest of her life!

This may sound weird but I feel like an aunt to 4 and I am a real aunt to one. Let me explain.My blood sister has a son. My honorary sister has a little girl and a boy on the way. And my " twin", a good guy friend who says exactly what I would say , has a boy and a girl. Just call me Aunty Sarah!

My great niece, who lived with me for a while, graduated last night from the Adult Learning Center. We are very proud of her. My nieces are adults with families of their own. I should have a new grand baby in the next week or two though.

congrats on your addition to the family. what a blessing. i have many many nieces and nephews and i love them all. including the one who may not really be my nephew. my brother messed around with the neighborhood trash and she got pregnant. he looks like my brother like michael jackson's kids look like him. lol. it's not that baby's fault though. my brother is blind, so i guess he is my nephew and i will love him not matter.

Congratulations! I have one nephew, Thomas (or Tom) and he's 22 now, would you believe. Take it from me the time flies!

Congrats!!! Yes I am an Auntie of three little girls. No I do not see them due to us moving but I do talk to them all the time on the phone.

I have two nephews who I have not seen for a few years, in fact not since the second one got married. I moved north and they never visit. I went back for the wedding and that is the last I have seen of any of my family. Still I am planning to move back south in the next 12 months and I will definitely spend time with all my family on route to my new destination. Hopefully they will visit when we are settled in a new home as I will be closer. Not close enough for them but they live in the city and I have no wish to live in a city again. Still it will not cost so much to visit them as I will be closer.

My nephews and nieces are grown now but I have their children to spoil. Unfortunately most of them live far away! I'll be attending my great nephew's high school graduation party in a week, that will be fun. I have two little great nephews in the south (with a sibling on the way!) whose mother sends me pictures every few months and I love getting those! We keep in touch on FaceBook. I love to spoil the children in my family as much as I can but distance takes some of the fun out of it.

That is wonderful news. Congratulations to your sister or brother and vicariously to you! I have no nephews or nieces of my own, but the Boss's brother has two sons who I call "nephews". They are both adults now. (although like most males they are far from adult! LOL.). My good news is that I am off to visit my parents for the night. Last time that I was there was for a week when I came out of hospital. Actually I feel worse now than I did then. But it will be lovely to see them again. I hope that you enjoy your new status. Better get knitting bootees!

I may never get to be an aunt.. and if I do, we're not close enough with our siblings to be close to our nieces and nephews. Hubby's sister swears she's never having kids.. and even if she does we don't speak to her anymore. I haven't spoken to my brother since he was a teenager so if he has kids I won't know them. The only hope we really have is my sister, but she's only 17 right now so should be awhile before she starts having kids.. if she ever does, and I'm not really close to her either.. though that may change in the future, we'll see. Though, considering my oldest is 15.. I may end up having grandkids before I see any nieces or nephews, LOL.

Yes, I have a niece from my sister and a nephew from my brother. They are both younger than my kids. And although I've only seen them once, I'm always updated with their growth (and mischief) because of facebook. They both live near my mum and dad, which is half way around the world. Hopefully I get to see them by this year as I plan to go home in December. Congratulations!

hi there, when i became an Aunt i was so excited and so happy :) that was four years ago. now i have 2 nephews and 2 nieces. the oldest of them all is living far from me now and so i am missing him so much, i wish i could visit him soon. the other 3, i see them more often.

Congratulate you on your being auntie! I know you meant you can't meet her or him until you go on a touring holiday next time.I have two nieces and one nephew and they each have their own child.We live in the same city,therefore I see much of them.

see him soon!!and congrats to you

Neither my biological sister or myself are intersted in having kids, but our step-bro and step-sis have lots of kids with their spouses. SB has two girls, and SS has a girl and two boys. Our cousin also has a little girl. Our cousin lies in the town where I lie, but the S-sibs live a few hours away.
