auntie/uncles

[*vcl*]

just a question,

Myself and my partner are not married and really dont have any intention of . But we do see each other as husband and wife.

Do you think its right for his necies and nephews to call me auntie even though we are not married,

I was just talking about my new nephew and was told im not intitled to call him my nephew as im not married to my partner,

sorry if this is a bit confusing but those comments upset me a little as i do see all of hem as my neices and nephews.

I don't blame you at all for been upset. I was 9 years with my ex husband before we got married and all his neice and nephews called me auntie. My niece and nephew called him uncle. My sister is not married and has no intentions but I still she her boyfriend as Uncle to my kids.

Whoever said you are not entitled are heartless

whoever said that is living in the dark ages I have a sister and brother who are not married but their partners but they are still auntie or uncle to my daughter and nephew and nieces. I even have close friends who marley calls her aunties

[Jade]

thats rubbish, I've got an Uncle who is not technically my Uncle but a close family friend

[twinkle_eyes83]

iam not married to my partner yet but his sister and brother both have kids and they call me auntie aswell

exactly!! most of my really close friends are auntie or uncle to my 2, and my sis and her boyfriend have been together for 9 years and he is uncle to my 2, thats just silly, whoever said that is really wrong!! in my opinion anyway!!

Thanks guys, They are just men stuck in the dark ages,

My partner and I have been together for 6 years and think its ok for me to be called auntie Vicki, some people just dont realise what they say may upset some one.

my sister was a bit like that. when my first nephew was born, his mum was only 16 so my mum and dad took care of him and he is like my brother, not a nephew but my eldest sister refuses to see him like that. Some people think if you just in a relationship then your partner cannot be family

[Katy]

my family pretty close so all my dads cousins in Ireland and over here i call auntie and Uncle and there kids are my cousins even though they are actually not. They all see me and my sister as another niece.

[lollymay]

my auntie has been with my 'uncle' for ten years and he has always been 'uncle' to me even though they arent married.

[Kim]

I had an uncle that wasn't really my uncle but I didn't call him uncle as my dad and me haven't got on with him for ages now. I think that as long as your family gets along with the person, the kids should call them auntie or uncle.

[nicole28]

I agree kim the kids should call him/her auntie/uncle.

[samantha nixon]

i think its ok to call you it as i call my dads close mate uncle and his ex aunt as i grew up knowing them

[chance]

Ive got neices and nephews on my side of the family and my other halfs sister has a little girl who i see as much as my neice as the ones on my side of the family

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Some people just call family friends aunties and uncles as respect!!

i used to think that if you were in a serious relationship if your other halfs niece/nephew liked you and wanted to call you it then i felt kind of priviledged but now me and my partner split on bad terms and now i miss her and according to neutral gossip she was upset to lose me as an auntie so i wouldnt go down that road again it was too hurtful

i know what you mean i used to call my dads best mate uncle and his ex wife auntie and there 2 kids my cousins but they split, my aunt moved away and now i dont see my aunt or 2 cousins and ive seen my uncle twice since and i miss them all loads as we used to see the every weekend since i was young

[Rach33]

I think that's bang out of order my mum married my stepdad and his brothers call me their niece and I call them my uncles even though my stepdad is not my real dad
