Ok now that I've posted the good news about being an aunt, here is how unspecial I feel about it.

So my piano teacher and her husband "adopted" me as her daughter about 3yr ago. Her oldest son and his wife welcomed me in as their sister and aunt to their little girls, but with the other son and his gf at the time, I never felt "accepted" so to speak. I mean they knew me on a friendly level. My brother invites me to certain things at his church and is always happy to see me when the family gets together, but I'm not considered "sister" enough to be invited to their wedding or to be called when they have their baby. I found out about the baby arriving via my other sister in law's facebook status! Ok so I know I'm not their real sister, but being their the only family I have next to my children, I just kinda feel left out. It hurts a little to know that I'm "family" during somethings but not family enough for others. I know my brother and his wife are private even with my parents, but still...COME ON!!!

I'm glad I've "adopted" my friend Heather as my sister and get to be auntie to her kids and of course "my" baby Dakota.

It's a good thing I can vent here, cause I'm tired of biting my tongue around them and my parents. At least I have it off my chest for a little while. lol

I'm sorry Lovey, that's really unfair to you. It's incredible they don't even take time to notice their behavior might be hurtful to you! I'll beat them up for you if you want me to! :( Maybe they'll realize soon enough...or just try to tell them how you feel? I don't know. I'm sorry lady. This isn't annoying btw, so shush.

Thats really not fair. I know some families aren't as close at others so maybe that is whats going on with them? I've come to realize that family is what you make of it. I consider my friends my sisters. Their kids are my kids too. You can be part of our family Lovey! My boys would love to have another Auntie in their lives. And I'd love to have more kids too lol! You can never have too much love in your life. :)

thank you girls. I consider you all my sisters! My mom finally called me 7 hr after the baby was born. I was just bummed cause this is my 2nd adoptive family (I was legally adopted by a family who has totally disowned me) so having a family has pretty important to me.
