im an uncle X6
it has to be way better than being a dad. you get to do all the fun stuff, without having to dole out discipline, and when they start whining you just go home
my oldest niece is 10, i have a 2 year old nephew. in a couple years im getting him guitar lessons so he can crush pussy starting at ~12
but kids are fucking lame for the first couple years. they dont even do fun stuff until they're about 4
