Why is it when if comes to nieces and nephews the aunt's get more love than the uncles do? ?

I've noticed it's always about the aunt's never the uncles

I find the biological family is nicer to me than the married in family. My biological aunts and uncles love me but some of the uncles and aunts who married into the family don’t like me at all, some hate me, some are neutral, and some are fake, some also love me too, one aunt I believe loves me more than her husband who is my biological uncle, but in around half of the cases, the biological family loves me more than the family that married in.

My Uncle was just a big kid to me, he was the fun one to have prank wars with. I didn't have any biological aunts, so I can't say if that would make any difference. I considered his wife my aunt though, and loved her too, but not the same.

maybe because of the 'creepy uncle' stereotype

I only have uncles, so I don't have a good answer. It probably just depends on the family dynamic. 🤷‍♀️

You have to believe that sometimes their own children themselves are not much love, if it is a relative's child, may get more love, it is true

Creepy uncles maybe

[msc545]

They are nicer.

I'd have to differ on that one
