I just joined, aunt of 4, and I hate to say it, but sometimes I get tired of all the mommy sites. 
As a woman with no kids of her own (as of yet, I am talking adoption here), i am so glad I found this site. I am a business woman, so I feel I have to appeal to the mommy websites, but when I answer a question about children, because of something my niece or nephews did, I feel like I hear crickets in the background. I get that, but you are not a mom so how do you know feedback from the moms out there.
when I have my niece and nephews for a couple of hours or overnight, I am the closest thing to their mom as I can get, and when dealing with a 4 year old who refuses to go to sleep, because they want to be up with Aunty Patti and i reading to them, I feel vindicated, because I am that mom for a few hours.
I love the idea of Auntie's day, because mother's day sometimes makes me feel so sad sometimes. Even though I enjoy my mother, and celebrating my sister and sister in law, I cannot help but wonder, where are my flowers, dinner, and card. You ladies just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, because I do care about these people called my niece and nephews . I hope to stay on this site long after I become a mommy, because being an aunt is the best job I ever had, and I would not trade it for the world.
