Other kids in your life?

Even though you are child free, are there any children who are part of your life that you really enjoy spedning time with.


I have 3 little cousins. Ages 4, 6, and 7. They were in my bridal party for the wedding. I'm closest with the 6 yr old but the other 2 are amazing too!

I really LOVE them and love shopping for them and playing with them but then I realize I wouldn't have the patience or will to want to have them around all the time.

Re: Other kids in your life?

I have zero children in my life. I have no nieces & nephews or any other kids that I see on a regular basis (except the ones I teach, but not in my personal life). I don't mind at all! I don't think I'm a "kid person"... although I'm not really sure since I don't have any experience with young kids or babies.

None really. DH & I each have a cousin with a baby (and DH's will be his Godson) but we live far away from them & have not met either yet.

Re: Other kids in your life?

We have 2 nieces now and twin nieces on the way.
I also have two Goddaughters that I am very close to (one of them is sleeping in the guest room right now with my dog).
A close friend is a few weeks pregnant and I'm sure we'll be close as well.
My husband has a Godson that we try to see when we go down to Brooklyn.

My 2 yr old niece (god daughter)

All three are my brothers babies. I love them sooo much and have so much fun when I'm with them

My BF has younger cousins who I adore. Two of them are 11 years old. One is 7 years old, another is 3 yrs old and the youngest is a year and a half. They are such great kids and we always have so much fun with them!

We have two nieces but they live far away and we only see them every couple of years. We pretty much live a completely childfree life.

Re: Other kids in your life?

my niece and nephews...my siblings kids

I adore them.

I'm especially close to my sister's kids. She and I are close and as a result, I'm equally close to them.

I love those two kids as much as I've loved anyone. They're probably the closest thing I've got to having my own kids.

True story: One night I had a TERRIBLE dream about my nephew. It was pitch black, I couldn't see anything and all I could hear was him screaming "Noooooooo!!!!!"

It was so disturbing, I woke up in the middle of the night in a sweat and really upset. I almost called my sister because I just had this awful feeling something was wrong but it was like 4am and I knew she'd kill me for waking up so I didn't.

Well anyway, I spoke to her later that day and asked about my nephew. She tells me he had this terrible dream, woke up screaming and crying around 4am.

I was like OMG so did I...

I know it's probably a stretch but it freaked me out a little!!

Re: Other kids in your life?

Absolutely! My cousin and DH's cousin. They were our FGs for our wedding and are two of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet. Both of them have had rough home lives, so we like to take them whenever we can, especially since they get along so well. Here's some pics of our misc. adventures!!

Re: Other kids in your life?

I am really close to some of my students. My first student ever was my junior bridesmaid and one of the students I have been with for almost 5 years was my ringbearer. I do over nights with them alot.

I have a 4 year old sister. We are 20 years apart and I think of her as my best friend. She is the greatest kid ever.

Re: Other kids in your life?

I have a 16 year old goddaughter, we are very close, she is the child I didn't get to have, I am very fortunate to have a BFF who shared her child with me.

I have 2 nephews from my sister and 2 nephews and 1 niece from DH's brother/SIL.

I do have friends who have children too, but the 16 year old is practically mine!

My nieces and nephews are my life, but I think I'm closest to my husband's little cousins, 11 and 13 yrs. old, because they live right across the street from us, but I have to say, my 14 yr old nephew is by far the most amazing child.
