I'm the b*tch aunt

**O-Face** · May 2013

SIL asked me if I was attending nephew's preschool program (not her kid, her nephew as well). I had no idea what she was talking about and had to actually edit my email to her.

My original response: Why the everloving heck would I go do that? It's a bunch of kids just standing around staring at each other. What is cute about that?

I'm also the aunt who tells the same nephew "You've mistaken me for the nice Aunt, go find someone else."

Meh. You're not the b*tch until you tell them, "Your parents had to get married because that stupid b*tch you call Mom trapped your father by getting pregnant with you. By the way, you'll never have any friends if you don't get something done about those ears."

Well, I guess everyone has goals, fmbyo. :-/

LOL

I feel like a kid with puppies when I'm around my nieces and nephews, except one of my brother's step-kids - I don't know them AT ALL so I just stare at them awkwardly until they walk away.

I'm not like that at all. I treat them like tiny adults, probably why I get along with the 12-18 crowd better.

I don't go to my own kid's school programs. I mean, it's partly because they're always on Thursdays, and I have rehearsal, and getting paid > seeing children sing. But also, seeing children sing is possibly the worst thing in the world. If she's musical in her teens, I'll gladly go to recitals. But I am not sitting in a gym with two hundred other people and having ten-year-olds yell at me. Nope.

Thats how I feel about my niece's dance recitals right now too. She's 6, which means about 1 out of 6 kids knows what they're doing, and all of those other 5 kids stare at that 6th kid.

When she's about 10 and older I'll go. Now? no

My uncle once attended one of my dance recitals. He still brings it up to this day, almost 20 years later, as one of the most long, boring experiences in his lifetime.

THIS. My FSIL invites my fiance and I to EVERY DAMNED THING HER KIDS DO. Swim lessons for the 2 year old --invited. Really terrible and loooong children's play that her talentless 9 year old is in --invited. His SIL even made my fiance take his spoiled brat of a niece to her FATHER DAUGHTER dance because her ass of a husband claimed he had to "work" the day-of. Not only that, but when my sweet fiance tried to tell her he didn't feel right doing that and back out of it nicely, the B had the nerve to GUILT him into it with the "but Special Princess will be so disappointed if you don't take her!!! (insert pouty entitled B voice) and he caved and agreed to go. THEN, she didn't even give him the money for the tickets! My poor fiance had to buy the tickets. She is the biggest cow ever.
