you are a good aunt. My own aunt is my mom's sister and also my godmother.. she never did anything for me in my entire life... so I believe you do a great job.. you need to learn to say ''no'' on occasion.. the way you come across as a person, you will spoil them anyhow and you will help out more than you should do.. It's wonderful to be so family oriented as you are but you are a mom first and foremost.. you need to take care of your own family and you have done a lot for your niece and nephew and you will continue to do so.. but sometimes you need to spread yourself a bit thinner otherwise your good nature will be taken advantage off.. As much as you love your family and your niece and nephew.. you have to also make time for yourself.. for your own personal needs and that is virtually impossible if you juggle your own family and your marriage and babysit.. no.. you owe your husband or partner time with him and you owe time to your two kids and last but not least you need some time just for yourself.. They will understand.. I used to be like you and it did me no good I was taken advantage of.. one has to learn to say ''no '' on occasion.. if you had done that before .. they would fully understand your reasons now but because you were always available it will take them a little time to see that they can't 'use'' you the way they do.... You love your niece and nephew and that should never change.. if there is real trouble .. by all means be there for them.. but don't babysit and then neglect your partner and your own children and find no time to interact with friends and do something just for yourself on occasion...x
