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
