Do you have any nieces or nephews? Do you spoil them? I can't wait for my brother to have kids so my LO can have a cousin to play with!

We're not very close to any of our siblings (he has two sisters, I have one brother). We have 5 nephews total so far. We don't live near anyone (we're all quite spread out), so it's hard to be close to them, you know? We do try to remember to send birthday cards, though. LOL! Once our LO is here, I hope to get together with the sisters at least once a year. They live within 5 hours of us.

Yes, I am an Aunt, was one before I was a mom and yes I spoiled them when they were younger and still do now, they are 13 and 15 while my kids are 3 and 1. My other niece and nephew I don't spoil as much because they are about the same age as my kids and my sister is kinda competitive so I don't like that.

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.
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

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!
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!

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!

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.

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.

Oh boy. Technically, through the strange intergenerational blend of DH's family, I am an aunt 18 times and a GREAT-Aunt 7 times.
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.

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.

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 :):):)

I wish I were an aunt! Maybe never since my brother doesn't really want kids....

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.

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.
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
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.
grapefruit / 4056 posts
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).

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.

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!
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!).

Our DD & our future babies won't have cousins for awhile I don't think. My little brother is 18 & NOT ready to be a dad & 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).
grapefruit / 4800 posts
Nope no one else is even married on either side. BIL got engaged recently though so maybe sometime.

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.

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!

Technically I am by marriage, but they are the children of DH's much older siblings and I've never met them. One of them is actually older than I am !

I have a 2 week old niece! She's really making my baby fever flare up, so yes, I'm spoiling her!
pomelo / 5720 posts
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.

I'm an aunt to 3 nephews and 1 niece and it's wonderful!
I do my best to spoil them all as often as possible.

Not biologically (and I hope my brother does not have children for a long, long time!!).
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.
We do have a godson that we spoil tons!!

We have 4 nieces (almost 5, 2, almost 1, & 4 months) and we spoil them all rotten. 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!
