We also have a Goddaughter who is almost 1 and we spoil her too! She's pretty much a niece in my mind! No boys, my dad is definetely wanting a grandson when we get pregnant, I want another girl so that way she has cousin to play with that are her gender! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61175 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:41:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 61175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not biologically (and I hope my brother does not have children for a long, long time!!).<br /> My husband is an only child, but his parents divorced and remarried when he was in high school. He has 1 step-sister who is his same age and has 2 young kids that we see once a year and try to remember to send bday cards to (we don’t always remember). He has 4 step brothers, who are all 20+ years older than either of us. They all have children, and some of those children have children – so I guess technically we have a bunch of nieces and nephews and even grand-nieces/nephews, but we never see them and my husband didn't grow up with them, so it doesn’t really count.</p> <p>We do have a godson that we spoil tons!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61172 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:36:36 +0000 Crisark 61172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an aunt to 3 nephews and 1 niece and it's wonderful!<br /> I do my best to spoil them all as often as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61166 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:29:46 +0000 bushelandapeck 61166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, three beautiful nieces from my sister that I spoil and love to no end. I also have two nephews and a niece on DH's side that we are also close with. We're lucky to live close enough to celebrate birthdays and holidays with both of our families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61131 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:45:01 +0000 Shutterbug 61131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 2 week old niece! She's really making my baby fever flare up, so yes, I'm spoiling her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61120 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:37:17 +0000 PitBulLover 61120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews.

One of them is actually older than I am ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61033 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:07:50 +0000 cyneswith 61033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One nephew, three godkids, and two others that call me "aunt". I tend to call them all nieces or nephews. The closest one lives halfway across the country, though. I want to see "my" babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61015 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:32:21 +0000 mynoahbear 61015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an aunt on my husband's side...two nephews... but I've never met the one yet...not close to them, plus we live out if the country. I will never be an aunt on my side, as my sister and her husband do not want kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61008 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:18:57 +0000 Maysprout 61008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope no one else is even married on either side. BIL got engaged recently though so maybe sometime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-61006 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:11:41 +0000 sulli301 61006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our DD &amp; our future babies won't have cousins for awhile I don't think. My little brother is 18 &amp; NOT ready to be a dad &amp; my bro in-law doesn't even want to get married at this point, let alone be a dad (he's 22 but I bet in 10 years he will be open to marriage). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60985 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:55:06 +0000 Pancakes 60985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a nephew that's just a couple weeks older than LO. I loooove to pick up things to send to him. If he lived closer, I would probably spoil him more!</p> <p>I have a niece too (BIL's daughter), but since my BIL has never acknowledged my LO's existence, I stick to just sending Christmas and birthday gifts (she can't help who her parents are!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60976 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:16:25 +0000 tequiero21 60976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a nephew but don't spoil him as much as i'd like. i used to see him once a week or so, but now that i'm in my 3rd trimester, i've been feeling a bit lazy. he's still only like 18 months, so would be more fun if i could take him places to hang out and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60914 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:52:14 +0000 MsMini 60914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3 nephews and a niece on DH's side, we only see them a few times a year though. I think it will be different when my sisters have kids (sometime way way in the future). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60902 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:41:45 +0000 chopsuey 60902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of my sisters are married, so no nieces/nephews! DH has 2 nieces! I guess they're my nieces too :) I don't really spoil them since I have a LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60815 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:56:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 60815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( No. I'm the oldest and so is my husband. Neither of our siblings have children yet. I'm not sure if any of my three brothers will ever have kids. I know my sister will one day, but she is only 15. It could be years before I have any nieces or nephews to spoil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60808 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:44:46 +0000 BelugaBean 60808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an aunt to my BIL and SIL's adorable baby boy. He's great and I love spoiling him. We love getting him things and spending a ton of time with him when we can. I know they're excited he'll have a cousin soon and they'll have very close birthdays since my due date is a week after his second birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60802 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:42:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 60802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I were an aunt! Maybe never since my brother doesn't really want kids.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60800 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:40:38 +0000 mrsjyw 60800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep ... via cousins and friends... DH is an only child and I have a younger brother who is single :P... but I love my cousins' babies, DH's best friend's Kiddos and my soon to be @obxwife's baby T :):):) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60795 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:35:20 +0000 BSB 60795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 nephews and a niece. In June, I will have another niece. I don't spoil them. I give them moderately priced gifts for holidays and birthdays. My brother, on the otherhand, did spoil them with expensive gifts. That stopped when he had his son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60790 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:29:30 +0000 oliviaoblivia 60790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh boy. Technically, through the strange intergenerational blend of DH's family, I am an aunt 18 times and a GREAT-Aunt 7 times. </p> <p>My siblings are both younger and not near parenthood yet; which bums me out because I'd love our kids to have a ton of like-aged cousins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60789 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:29:21 +0000 heffalump 60789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BIL has a 6 year old girl, so I'm an aunt by marriage. She's so much fun! I can't wait for my siblings to have kids too. It's weird because I'm the youngest so I always expected to be the last to have kids, but I'm the first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60783 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:24:52 +0000 HabesBabe 60783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not an aunt because I'm an only child :( Hubs isn't an uncle because his only brother is enjoying life as a bachelor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60782 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:24:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 60782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm not an aunt :( DH is an only child and I have a sister, but she's only 19, so it will probably be awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60781 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:24:14 +0000 Adira 60781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an aunt. My husband's sister has a six-year-old with another one on the way. When she first had her child, I wasn't part of the family yet, so I didn't really feel like an aunt to her son. And I definitely don't spoil him - he's spoiled enough already!</p> <p>I may spoil her second child a bit though, because I'm sure second children tend to be spoiled a bit less, plus it's a girl and I'm really excited about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60773 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:18:22 +0000 mrsjazz 60773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically I am an aunt, but I've only met my niece once. My half-brother (who I was not raised with) has a child and lives in Florida, so I don't see him much.</p> <p>My siblings I was raised with do not have children--I am the oldest and having the first grandchild for my mother. But I am an aunt/madrina to my beautiful godson and I try to spoil him from afar since my BFF lives in another state :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-aunt-or-uncle#post-60767 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:15:43 +0000 Rescuemom10 60767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 9 mo old nephew who I ADORE!
