It's understandable and normal, I'm sure. From the other side of the fence, I will never be an auntie as I don't have any siblings. And I'm disappointed about that. Not trying to put pressure on saying you should be more grateful or anything, but it's good to value what we have and remember that there are many people who would like to have what we have. I think becoming an auntie at 11 is very young and it would have changed the family dynamic to some degree. This may have been hard to adjust to when you were 11. I suddenly had two cousins born when I was 11 and 12 and I was a bit freaked out about how to deal with it in some ways. 10-14 ish is a very sensitive age and adjusting to big changes at that age can have a big impact, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a negative one.
Is it normal to dislike being an aunt?
