Ok, here's the scenario...
I have two blood nieces through my brother (who is not my favorite person in the world)... and he and his wife have been divorced for about 4 or 5 years now. Never really close to them because my ex sister in law use to (and pay attention to the fact that I said USE TO) never really do much with our side of the family when they were married, but once they got divorced, she came to all of our family functions which of course pissed me off. My thing was, my nieces don't even refer to me as Aunt Gina which bothers me not to mention when I see them at school (our kids go to the same school) I barely get a hello. And I believe it has to do with the way she kept them aways from us while they were married. Now, she's holding on anyway she can and even though I don't really care for her, she is family, but that doesn't mean I have to like her. My family is also at the point that she night not be invited to our gatherings because she's the type of person that COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME!!! It's like, she is the only single working mom in the world. I've been doing it since my 1st son was 7 months old and pregnant with my 2nd one, but do you think she noticed that? Anyway, I know my nieces have their parents personalities which are very cold qualities... but... here's my situation...
I have friends that have kids who adore me and me to them... Example, My girlfriend (since grammer school,) her two boys call me Aunt Gina and I'm one of their Godmothers.... yet, my own nieces don't even care.
To top it off, my ex is remarried and he has two stepdaughters as well as a new baby girl (gonna be 3 years old) and I so love them. I spend more time with his two stepdaughters then my own nieces. I've taken them to birthday parties with me, Great Adventure, the shore.. so on and so on... anyway, I honestly feel a connection with these girls, then my own nieces. I won't ask if it's wrong, because I've tried to be closer to my nieces, I've asked my ex-sister in law if I can take them to places that I've taken these girls, but she always makes an excuse to say no.
Now tonight I got an invite from another girlfriend of mine to her son's confirmation which by the way, my niece is in the same confirmation ceremony, but yet, I haven't been told anything about it from her. When I go over to my niece and her mother tonight, I'll make sure I said, oh, I didn't realize you were making your confirmation tonight too.
I love my nieces, but because they are my family, you know what I mean? I love my ex's step daughters because I spend time with them and I have memories with them already. Does this make sense to any of you?
