How awesome is it to be able to play games with our nieces and nephews and hang out with them as much you want.....yet when it’s time to change their diaper or feed them or they are crying, etc....you can give them back to your brother/sister/in-laws....

:love:

I am that great uncle that is the old folk people now. All those years of playing with the kids and their kids, it's hard for them to find time to hook up with me. More so due to the BS going on.

My friend's nephew calls him Uncle Fun. They go out and do all kinds of fun stuff, get all hopped up on sugar, then he peaces out until the next time.

But you don't get the amazing feeling of your son calling you dada as he wakes up at 5am every day regardless of how long you stayed up the night before.

I'm the uncle that teaches the nephews and nieces bad stuff to aggravate their parents with. You know...how to make fart noises, giving them fake roaches to scare mom (no pics) with, teaching them to say their school teacher is a Bolshevik, etc.

As they leave to go home with their parents, I'm all like

I don't see my nieces and nephews very often. I have 5 of them though. The youngest is 6 and the oldest is 15.

Spinoff: My oldest nephew has a way of holding his chin in his hand when he's deep in thought. It's exactly like his great grandmother, who died several years before he was born. Spooky.

As a parent of two under 4, you are still doing more than you know just by occupying them for a short amount of time while I can sit on the couch and relax.

mine live right down the road from me. its pretty great til they start thinking of you as just a big kid yourself. then they get together with their friends and start acting like a pack of wild dogs that dont respect you, only you cant hit them.

I cant wait til the HS years when i get to break up their parties and steal the booze and weed, then blackmail them into doing yard work.

Being an uncle is great. But being a dad is way better.

21 years later and my Bro-in-law still chuckles over the call they made to announce sis's pregnancy.

My response, without hesitation as I had waited 14 years for the call: "Sooo, am I gonna be an Aunt or an Uncle?" Instead of the usual boy/girl question.

Not nearly as awesome as it is when they are yours and it’s your responsibility.

One of these days, when they are college-aged, they’ll be calling you to bail them out of jail and that kind of shite!
