A few life changes an aunt or an uncle might experience when their niece/nephew finally comes into the world
For a child, being surrounded by the loving attention of an extended family can really be wonderful.
Not only do the parents love the child, but also their siblings, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, are all concentrated on making sure that the child is doing well and that he or she is being raised in the best way possible.
However, the relationship that is established is not just one-way. The child also has a very specific role in the lives of his or her family, and the gift of love and tenderness that a child gives to family members also brings about a number of positive changes.
Today, in particular, we want to consider what happens with aunts and uncles. What does the arrival of a nephew or niece in a family mean for aunts and uncles?
The experience of living in contact with a child and participating in his or her education, allows aunts and uncles to test themselves in privileged conditions. They are in all respects just like "parents" but they do not have the same moral responsibility as the actual parents themselves.
In short, it is a test bench where they can easily alternate moments of severity with other moments of total complicity, thus allowing the child to satisfy an extra whim or caprice!
As with all family members, children also have an energizing effect on their aunts and uncles! In fact, their nephew or niece encourages them to play for hours, bringing back memories of when they were children and reminding them that life should be lived intensely. In short, children are a real injection of good humor and childlike spirit!
Nephews and nieces give aunts and uncles a sort of pass or authorization to be carefree and to do things that are absurd and even a little bit "crazy" with their nephews and nieces ---- because who can be truly angry in front of a smiling little boy or girl and the aunt or uncle who has gone along with the prank?
In addition, what is fundamental, children strengthen family ties! Thanks to them, aunts and uncles spend more time with their own siblings (that is the actual parents of the nephews and nieces themselves), and also with their own parents who are now also grandparents! In a world where family ties seem to breaking down more and more, the arrival of a nephew or niece can rekindle the desire to be together and share a meal, a trip or a just a simple chat.
For these, and for many other reasons, the arrival of a nephew or niece can be a panacea in the life of an uncle or an aunt! After all, where there is love, only something good can come from it!
