Answer 1

Be a fun aunty and take them out on fun days out to the park or the zoo or where ever u dnt have to be serious just be ur self and have fun and in time they'll trust u and *** 2 u as they no u'll not judge them

Answer 2

Thie actually depends upon the age(s) of the child(ren). It also depends upon your age and maturity.

You could offer your babysitting services (remember to do things the way the parents want them done)

Plan birthday parties (again, nothing parents wouldn't do themselves)

Of course bring gifts (making sure the parents approve of them, and that the child doesn't already have the particular gift already)

Set up a college fund account for the child(ren)--the type that anyone can add money to on birthdays/holidays

Take the children to the park/playground

Take him/her/them shopping

It's so important that you always make the plans with the parents ahead of time--not just show up unexpectedly. Equally important, that you don't give the child anything the parents would disapprove of. Remember that it is their child--and you are just there to see the child--and offer to help in any way the parents need you to.

Answer 3

I don't think there's such a thing as a pushy auntie (unless you dictate to them or their parents - unlikely) Any parent would be thrilled that you want to get to know their offspring.

Give thoughtful presents, little & often - think of the sort of things you would've liked, such as little bags & beads. My favourite auntie was someone who gave me little treats (and I'm talking here about things like fancy fruit juice.) Write or see them often and ask them to draw & send pictures to you. Later on, take him/her on treats (tea at the Ritz) to give mum & dad a break. In other words, develop a relationship with them and be interested in their achievements and interests. And remember them in your will!!!

If you havn,t been involved with them, and now your asking "HOW" do I? You aint exactly gonna swamp them are you? Confuse ,em yeh! "PUSHY". I don,t think so. Get involved, love ,em, and encourage them. Go on "Auntie".
