My niece is only 6 months old.
My Godchildren think they're the center of my universe and probably would prefer it to stay that way.
I don't blame them one bit.

DH and I have a goddaughter from my BFF, she just turned 15 and we are very close to her.

I have a nephew from my sister who is 2, I wish I saw him more often, but my relationship with her is strained and they live far.

DH has 2 nephews and 1 niece, we see them very often and have a good relationship with them.

I Have a 2 year old nepew and a 1 month of nephew who im very close too. i see them like everyday. i barely see my niece. maybe once or twice a month. im sorry to say this but she is rude. she doesnt play with 2 year old nephew. she says he to wild but he just like to play. he can play for hours and hes a good baby.i can have more covo with him then i do with her. i think they still are too little to ask me but my brothers do all the time.

i have nephews, and a niece
they are all older...no young babies, unless you count their children...2 nephews have 3 children between them

My oldest nephew is 11 years younger than me and I didn't want to be an 'aunt' as a teenager, so none of them call me 'aunt'

their kids can call me aunt....I certainly don't want to be be great aunt Chat Icon I'm not old enough

I love the relationship I have with them

My nephew is almost 2. He is my brother's son and I love him as if he were my own. He is such a ray of sunshine. He and DH absolutely adore each other too!

He's still too little to ask for cousins though!

I don't & won't have any & I kind of wish I did.

If I do have kids, I would want them to have cousins & if I don't, I would want to have other children in my life, so I am kind of bummed about that.

DH has a nephew whom we met for the first time at our wedding. He's almost two years old. I would have to say that neither of us is close with him.

However, when I am around children, people always comment that I am a natural mother. I've always wanted to be a mom, so I guess it's true.

We have a niece and 2 nephews whom we truly adore and love more than anything.

Marissa is 7 and lives in Flordia and is a spitfire Chat Icon Adorable and amazingly smart and sharp with her words but also incredibly tender.

Cody is 4 and we're having a rough time with him being fresh...but he's still so darn cute and really independent. Such a boy, loves working on the trucks with Daddy and Uncle Tim and playing with tools.

Connor is 1, our godson, and a big ball of mushy baby goodness. Just starting to walk. Lot of cute crooked baby teeth coming in also!!!

We see Cody and Connor on a multiple weekly basis, we see Rissy about 3x a year.

I have 2 nephews and while I absolutely adore them and hang out with them all the time, sometimes, I need small doses of them.. Like my sister asked me to babysit the boys next week and my first instinct was to say no.. The last time I watched them they were absolute demons and it totally made me not want to watch them..

I have two on my side, the joys of my life. My nephew is soon to be eleven, and my niece is 8 going on 14.

Since they've gotten older and more involved in school and activities, I don't see them as much anymore. But I resolve to this year become the soccer Tante (aunt) I was before, and to become the gymnastics Tante.

My husband is an only child, so there are no nieces and nephews on his side, but we've got tons of cousins and their children, so I get to be Aunt Susi on his side of the family.

I don't have any nieces or nephews. Not sure if I ever will. Between DH and me, we have 4 brothers, none of whom seem likely to have children, at least not anytime soon. It would be nice though.
