[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar relationship with my 5 year old niece (husband's brother's daughter). I love her but she lives a 5 hour drive away. I am not close with her parents- no falling out or anything. We are just cordial. I send her Christmas and birthday gifts in cute care packages and I bring her something every time I see her (3-4 times per year). When I see her I play with her and dote on her. It is hard for me not to have a close relationship with her but I accepted early on that if her mother and I are not close I would not be close with her. On the other hand, I have a 3 year old niece (brother's daughter) who I am very close to. I see her once a week and her mother and I are close. I wish I had the same relationship with both but concluded it just isn't going to happen. So, I concentrate on making the best of what I do have with the 5 year old. [/quote]
