This is a place to meet other aunts and uncles, to talk about the joys and challenges of aunt-hood and uncle-hood, to brag a little, to share photos, compare notes and get some advice.An aunt or uncle adds so much to a child's life: alternate role model, adviser, baby sitter, spoiling expert..."Aunts" is more than a group of people or a role; instead, "to aunt" is a practice, something people "do."Some women "aunt" as second mothers, friends, or mentors, while others play more peripheral roles.
