Do you think it's ok to let your kids call your close friends "aunt" and "uncle"?
Need some opinions:
Do you have people that you call Aunt or Uncle that are not related to you or not really your Aunt or Uncle.
Me and my fiance Chris, have 2 best friends that are married to each other. On my myspace I have a picture of them holding my son, and we call them Aunt Amanda, and Uncle Shaun, even though they are not really his Aunt or Uncle. Shaun is related to my fiance, but they are cousins.
Anyways, in my family I have tons of people who are really cousin’s but since they are older than I am, we call them Aunts and Uncles. I dont see the big deal.
Apparently his family is pissed that I am calling them that, because they aren’t real Aunts and Uncles.
What do you think?
I think that it shows a respect for them. It separates the closet friends from the not so close friends. And yes my kids do the same thing with my best friend and her husband.
family has no definition. people go their entire lives without meeting some of their blood family, and make a family of their own. The bond that holds a family together is love, and love has no boundaries whether it be blood, legal, or complete strangers.
I dont think its a big deal I do the same thing
In my culture you call everyone that is older that you aunt and uncle. It just a tradition. I think it is silly for them to get angry for something like that, it isn’t a big deal.
I come from a middle eastern background
and to all older male and females like as in people my parents age
we say aunt or uncle
we say that for respect and I think mostly just something like a tradition we say that lol
I do that I have people I call aunt because I have know them since I was born and close family friends I dont se why they should be mad
It makes sense! What else do you call distant or unclassifiable people? Mommy’s-second-cousin Amanda (or w/e). I do that. I have three “aunts” that aren’t really related to me.
In my culture it’s what we do (it is offensive to do otherwise)
