Think again \u2013 what else? Parenthood again? You&#8217;re wrong. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"78:1-78:396;5219-5614\">The concept is primarily reserved for parents, of course, but there&#8217;s also the other side \u2013 the role of other family members, like grandparents. But you&#8217;ll admit that the role of an aunt is probably the very last thing that came to mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"80:1-80:583;5616-6198\">On the Balkans, where I was born, grew up, and lived until a year and a half ago when I moved away, the role of the aunt is somehow negligible. You&#8217;ll rarely hear of an aunt who made a special effort in the upbringing of her nieces or nephews. She&#8217;s just sort of there \u2013 only at birthdays, to bring a gift that, speaking from personal experience, was never particularly interesting. She&#8217;s there to call a few times a year and out of courtesy ask how you&#8217;re doing. Nobody&#8217;s role is being diminished by this post \u2013 but unfortunately, that&#8217;s how it genuinely tends to work in practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"82:1-82:92;6200-6291\">At the end of the day, she&#8217;s really just a close relative from the family. And that&#8217;s that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"84:1-84:43;6293-6335\">You&#8217;re wrong. That&#8217;s not how it should be.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2720\" style=\"width: 835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ana_tetana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2720\" class=\"wp-image-2720 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/smama.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1515751179020-1-e1648548043636.jpg\" alt=\"tetka-je-vazna\" width=\"825\" height=\"1100\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TetAna is here to nourish Sofka with love<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"88:1-88:236;6454-6689\">Nineteen months ago I became an aunt \u2013 to a little angel named Sofia. On 24.05.2016, completely unprepared in that moment, I got the news: &#8220;You&#8217;re an aunt.&#8221; Maybe I was confused for a second \u2013 and then came the greatest joy of my life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"90:1-90:395;6691-7085\">I think that feeling can only be truly understood by someone who is deeply, heart and soul, connected to their brother or sister \u2013 to the extent that they live every success and every defeat as their own. That&#8217;s exactly how I felt. As if I had, in some way, had a child myself. That feeling soon actually materialized when I first saw her, touched her, breathed in the smell of my little crumb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"92:1-92:87;7087-7173\">Can you love someone that much \u2013 after just one encounter? Oh yes. That&#8217;s auntie love.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"94:1-94:56;7175-7230\">On the Balkans, the Aunt Is Only There for Birthdays<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"96:1-96:169;7232-7400\">As the first months went by, I happened to be absent \u2013 and it hit me hard. Watching a child grow up through a phone screen \u2013 anyone who says that doesn&#8217;t hurt is lying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"98:1-98:153;7402-7554\">But then the moment comes when you&#8217;re there \u2013 and everything before it gets erased. TetAna started living with the little crumb in October of last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"100:1-100:254;7556-7809\">How do you feel when you&#8217;re woken up every morning by the beautiful, gentle face and the tiny smile of your niece? How else \u2013 but ready to give her everything in the world. Starting with: boundless love, because that&#8217;s what matters most in our vocation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"102:1-102:36;7811-7846\">Auntie Love \u2014 A Special Category<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"104:1-104:65;7848-7912\"><a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/smama.blog\/en\/kategorija\/s-tetana\/\">Super TetAna<\/a> is here!<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"106:1-106:115;7914-8028\">Why do I consider myself a super aunt \u2013 or Super TetAna (which is actually something of a personal title of mine)?<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"108:1-108:19;8030-8048\">Aunt Ana = TetAna!<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"110:1-110:108;8050-8157\">Getting that title isn&#8217;t enough just by being related to the child by blood \u2013 you have to actually earn it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"112:1-112:41;8159-8199\">Super TetAna \u2014 What It Actually Means<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"114:1-114:306;8201-8506\">Even though I&#8217;m a student abroad, living independently, working two jobs, trying to support myself \u2013 with the greatest support of my family, of course, without whom I would never have gotten to where I am now (where I currently sit in the library on my break) \u2013 I give every possible free moment to Sofia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"116:1-116:348;8508-8855\">Super TetAna is there to step in for Mum and Dad for a few hours so they can study, get through a million obligations, or simply takes her to kindergarten because they have lectures. She&#8217;s also there to take her for regular walks, feed her, change her. She nibbles and kisses Sofia to death \u2013 because she can, and nobody will stop her. No, really.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"118:1-118:114;8857-8970\">In short, dear aunts: be the child&#8217;s second (third) parent. Isn&#8217;t that somehow really our role?! Of course it is!<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"120:1-120:309;8972-9280\">In the texts that follow I&#8217;ll go chronologically through all of Sofia&#8217;s growing up alongside me \u2013 because this isn&#8217;t just one statement: &#8220;I&#8217;m the aunt of little Sofia&#8221; and that&#8217;s where it ends. It&#8217;s an entire process, running parallel to my sister and brother-in-law&#8217;s parenting, which naturally comes first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" data-sourcepos=\"122:1-122:33;9282-9314\">Welcome to the <a href=\"https:\/\/smama.blog\/en\/role-of-aunt-in-childs-upbringing\/\">S-TetAna<\/a> journey!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hear the phrase &#8220;raising a child,&#8221; the first <a href=\"https:\/\/smama.blog\/en\/role-of-aunt-in-childs-upbringing\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4067],"tags":[4094,4095,4096,4097,4093,4068],"class_list":["post-7450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-s-tetana","tag-aunt-and-child","tag-family-and-upbringing","tag-family-bonds","tag-niece","tag-role-of-an-aunt","tag-tetana"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>An Aunt Matters - S-Mama Mima<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The role of an aunt in a child&#039;s upbringing matters more than we think.
