How Old do your friends kids have to be to move from the " children of friends" or " friends Kids"
until they can be called Friends without the explanation of who they are (or how you know them)
we are all either at that age when our friends have kids that are teens or above; and I have friends whose kids I take places and do things with and leave the Parents home
but they are in their late teens and I feel kind of funny about the whole "these are children of my friends"
some of them call me Uncle. but still.
any ideas? I mean I would probably draw the line when they start dating or driving. I am not a parent and wonder
what you would be comfortable with.
thanks

Re: Friends children?
hummmm...never really thought about this as we don't fall into this category but I think so long as their parents are fine with it you go with what works...I'm thinking "uncle" is fine and you just call them your nieces/nephews ???ragtopW wrote:How Old do your friends kids have to be to move from the " children of friends" or " friends Kids"

When they were teens I would say this is my friend's son/daughter.ragtopW wrote:How Old do your friends kids have to be to move from the " children of friends" or " friends Kids"

But, Linda's daughter calls me Aunt Naughty. I call her my niece. But then she's a grown woman with 2 of her own. I call them my great nieces.
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.
