What do I call my Mother's uncle?
Anything but dad!
Why does my older uncle have a large bulge in his pants?
Yur uncle probably has a large package, and it could be the type of clothes that he wears with his package. Even though the look isn't pleasing to you Dude, he probably hope that the Ladies his age will notice him, and some of them might, and like his look? Who can say? Just be relaxed, it's one of those things that Dudes do in adult world, especially with jeans on to have a certain look and hope to look sexy for the Ladies. Hope that helps you younger Dude Me! :- )
Is it OK to be older than your Uncle?
Yes. It happens but it gets very confusing. I have uncles and aunts older and younger to me. I also have a niece almost my age on my dad's side. My great-grandparents (mom's side) had 12 kids and my grandmum was the 2nd oldest and she got married and had kids. My great-grandmum had 4 kids the same time my grandmum had 4 kids...so that's how it got started!
Should my older nephew still address me as uncle?
I don’t know why not. My oldest sister’s sons still calls me Aunt Sarah and the eldest has kids himself. Their older brother who died did so as well.I address all of my aunts and uncles thusly- Uncle George, Auntie Jean, (R.I.P.), Uncle Ernie. Even The worst aunt on the planet, My Dad’s insane sister (who is soon to Die, if she hasn’t already. She got hit by a car- How sad.) is still “Aunt Madelyn” not out of respect or deference(HA!) But out of sheer force of habit and/or muscle memory.Now, If you would prefer for your nephew to address you by your Christian name, that’s certainly your prerogative.
In China, why do children call all middle age men uncle and all MA women aunt?
As others have said, it's a term of respect. My children address every adult in their life with a title of respect. In Chinese, they use "Aunt," "Uncle," "Grandmother," "Grandfather," and "Teacher." In English, they use "Aunt," "Uncle," "Mr." "Miss" or "Mrs." I ask the adult if they prefer being known by their first or last name (Example: Mrs. Yang vs Miss Sally) and we go from there. My children are NOT allowed to call adults by their first names, even though many adults say it's okay for them to do so. Different cultures have different mores and norms. It's easy to say that children in western cultures have lost respect because they don't use a title with adults, but as time goes on, I find more and more adults who don't wish to be addressed with a title because it makes them feel "old." This is a cultural shift and while some people may be uncomfortable with that shift, it doesn't make it wrong. The reason I choose to have my children use a term of respect is so they readily recognize who the authority figures are in their lives. In China, small children will even call other children with a "title." Just today, my son (soon-to-be 9 years old) was called "ge ge" (older brother) by a child in the grade below him. This is quite common among all children to address each other by "ge ge," "di di" (younger brother), "jie jie" (older sister) or "mei mei" (younger sister). All of these titles are very helpful when you've forgotten someone's name!
Anyone know of good "Aunt" names?
My older brother is going to be having a baby soon. The baby will have two aunts (my older sister and me). We are both young (I'm 18 and shes 23), so we don't really want to be called Aunt Kristen (me) or Aunt Megan (my sister) because it sounds old. But we also don't want to be something like "Tee Tee" because when the baby is a teenager, it may seem odd. Any suggestions?
What do you call your non-biologically related uncle's sister?
I have two choices (and I do mean “I”, because I am in the same situation as you):1- My uncle and I are not related by blood because he is the husband of my mother’s sister, for example. Which makes him an uncle by marriage. His sister, I call by her name. :)2- My uncle and I are not related by blood; because he is a close friend of the family. It is very possible (and probable) that his siblings are also close friends to the family, in which case I call them “aunts” and “uncles”. If they are not close friends to the family, then I go back to 1. And call them by their names.Hope this helps!
Do you address your aunt and uncles by Aunt/Uncle and then their first name like we were taught when I was young?
I do, sometimes, though not the norm.I was raised in a traditional Chinese-cultured family, and we refer to our Aunt/Uncle by their "rank", like Greatest Aunt and Greatest Uncle, 2nd Aunt with 2nd Uncle…etc, while the rank is determined by the age on the "blood" side.Like if a younger man married to my Great Aunt (blood), he will be known as the Great Uncle and possibly be younger than the 2nd Uncle or 3rd.The few instances when we call our Aunt by "Aunt-first name" are my Aunts on the maternal side.Now thinking about it, I believe that it is because my mom call them that when talking to us kids. It is not the norm though, but it is accepted.Bonus fact: when we refer to Aunts,Uncles who have no relations with us(parent's acquaintances), we call them by "Aunt/Uncle + Surname/ First name".
Identify the problem with the sentence fragment below. My sister's oldest uncle's cousin?
The answer is C. Your fragment seems to be only a subject. As such it needs a predicate (verb) to make it complete. :-)
Does anyone have an uncle/auntie that is around your same age?????????????
i mean it can be possible that your grandmother gave birth to ur mother at 18 and ur mother gave birth to u at 18 and at the same time ur grandmother gave birth to another child at 36.
