Aunts Are Unforgettable Accomplices – Being Parents

Sisters, friends, second mothers or all at the same time: aunts are their nephews’ best accomplices. They have a very special place in the family: they have as much love to give as a mother, but they do not feel the pressure of raising children.

An aunt is a faithful companion who helps us through difficult times as a child. They know all our secrets and have paved our life with anecdotes, with a tact that never leaves them.

It is true that a nephew or a niece is always a source of love. We come to love them as if we had worn them. We watch them grow up, we worry about them until they lose sleep. And we will always be there to give in to their whims and console them when they are sad.

When you have nephews, you are capable of anything because you know they deserve it. Long hours of play, smiles, a shoulder they can lean on… We love them unconditionally and we are ready to defend them against all odds.

How to become this unforgettable accomplice?

All family members have a role to play in the education of our toddlers. However, the role of aunts is so important that in some countries a day is dedicated to them in the calendar to honor them.

If you’re about to have a nephew or niece, here are ten great reasons that will make you the best mate in the world for that unborn baby:

• You will be like his second mother. Children will think of you with the same tenderness and it is to you that they will turn when mum or dad is busy elsewhere.
• You will understand them better than anyone. Only you will know when they want to have fun, and if you go overboard a bit, they’ll keep it a secret.
• You will protect them. If necessary, you will transform into a heroine to fight those who want to harm them.
• You will always know what to say. You will feel so much love for this baby that there will immediately be a very strong bond between you, which will give you both courage in difficult times.

The adventure of having nephews

Time will pass faster once you are together. Little by little, you will find that you have a lot in common. You won’t realize that time is passing and you won’t want it to end.

• You will always go where they want. You will follow them to the ends of the earth if necessary.
• No one will be more honest than you. You will always tell them what you think. This is why your opinion will be very important.
• Unconditional support. If they mess up, you’ll always be there to get them out of the embarrassment. Then everything will be exactly as before.
• You will always try to surprise them. With a gift or a surprise that will make them laugh out loud.
• Without you, it will never be the same. They will know that you are always ready to talk about what scares them, what is difficult for them or what makes them dream. You will therefore be a centerpiece in their development, even when your nephews and nieces become independent adults.

Try to set a good example for your nephews. Don’t waste a minute of your time with them. As soon as you have met them and held them in your arms, you will understand that one cannot escape such pure love.

Aunts: unique companions

Aunts can gain the trust that eludes other family members and build an intimate and open relationship with their nephews.

When it comes to resolving an argument, they can take advantage of this relationship of trust to guide the children on the right path. The trust they have allows them to be more open and to express freely what bothers them.

For all these reasons, aunts are their nephews’ best allies. In their eyes, you will always be a friend full of love and compassion. Take advantage of this role that life has given you and give these toddlers (whom you will love like your children) the purest and most sincere love that exists in the world.
