[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By definition, the children of your spouse's siblings are your nieces and nephews. The children of your spouse's sibling's spouse's are your nieces and nephews. You might have a stronger bond with the children of your own siblings but making a big deal about it feels petty. When did being inclusive become a bad thing? [/quote] No they aren't. The definition of niece and nephew are your siblings' children. Inclusive is a good thing but you can be inclusive without calling them niece and nephew. Words have meaning. [/quote] According to dictionary.com, the definition is 1. a daughter of a person's brother or sister. 2. a daughter of a person's spouse's brother or sister. So, yes, words do have meaning. [/quote] Webster's agrees as well: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/niece [/quote]
