[quote=Anonymous]I was having this conversation with someone recently. They don't feel any desire/responsibility to take an interest in spouses nieces/nephews (sibling's kids), because they're not related to her, and were born before she and her DH got together. I found this incredibly weird. I get that some people just aren't interested in kids, and no one should feel pressured to take on a role they did not choose, but the distinction of being related or not seems incredibly weird to me. She's friendly and asks her sister's kids about school, sports, etc. But doesn't interact with her DH's niece's nephews. I grew up thinking of aunts and uncles not just as my parents' siblings, but their spouses too. Am I in the minority? Is this weird? Do you only take an aunt/uncle role with the kids of *YOUR* siblings? [/quote]
