But you know what? I still don't want kids of my own! Weird. ;)<br /><br />Well...I do have another niece, but she is the daughter of my disowned sibling and we don't have any relationship with her because of that. I refuse to have a child used as a weapon against me, and I refuse to put a child in the middle of Harvey Requiemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963190413341072166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-29772992761568658672012-05-09T22:29:36.189-07:002012-05-09T22:29:36.189-07:00I envy that relationship...
My only niece will no...I envy that relationship...<br /><br />My only niece will not leave her mothers side and even at 5 years old, will not interact with her uncle and I. On the other side of the family, my brother and his wife are about to have a baby, but his wife refuses to spend time with our family and feigns illness if pushed, so I don't expect to have a relationship with their children either.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232251480962282111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-10787666910590008312011-07-24T13:40:49.233-07:002011-07-24T13:40:49.233-07:00My niece and nephews all live quite a ways from me...My niece and nephews all live quite a ways from me, so I rarely get to see them. I cherish every minute I do get to spend with them and I know that my sister loves it when I watch them for a while for her--I think I definitely appreciate their little nuances more than she does. Like how my nephew is obsessed with catching bugs--I was the same way when I was a kid and I love to encourage his Spectrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867094255953299465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-1833376852407677422011-07-24T08:53:57.748-07:002011-07-24T08:53:57.748-07:00I recently got to spend the day with my niece (nea...I recently got to spend the day with my niece (nearly 6) and nephew (just turned 8) and had a wonderful time. I'm glad I don't have to do it everyday as they don't run out of energy, but I hope to do it again, soon. I think they even enjoyed having Aunt Anne as the babysitter that day.Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413915058098683383noreply@blogger.com
