Childfree Reflections

I just read a childfree blog post about the happiness of being an Aunt.  Joys of Aunthood (Continued) is a very interesting and heartfelt post. What are your thoughts on it? Do you have a similar relationship with your nieces and nephews? Does being an Aunt or Uncle suit you or is there another myth of this title giving you lasting happiness and contentment?  Let’s face it, not all connections to any family member are ever guaranteed.
