I'm almost 23 and I have 6 nieces and nephews between my two sisters, with another nephew on the way.
That being said, I'm not good with kids. At all. I feel little attachment to my nieces and nephews. I don't know how to talk to them or interact with them on their level. Whenever I do make an attempt to interact with them, they brush me off or ignore me completely. In some ways I feel hurt that they prefer my other family members to me and there's a part of me that wishes I could be close with them and be a better auntie to them. But I am completely clueless as to how I should improve my relationship with them. :/
Is it normal to dislike being an aunt?
