Hey there, fabulous parents! I adore you and your delightful little ones. Being an aunt to your kiddos is usually a blast, except when you forget that I’m not in the parenting club. I totally get that “parenting brain” can be real—no hard feelings! So, here’s a fun list of things I still enjoy that might be a bit foreign to you right now.
1. Snooze on Saturdays
Please don’t ring me at the crack of dawn on a Saturday wanting to catch up. I know your little one has just invaded your room demanding breakfast at an ungodly hour, leaving you too frazzled to fall back asleep. Enjoy your chaos; I’ll be here blissfully snoozing.
2. Engage in Uninterrupted Adult Chats
When we finally chat, I’m genuinely thrilled—life is busy for you! But when your phone rings eight times in a 15-minute call because of random meltdowns and bedtime negotiations, it’s tough for me to stay focused. Let’s plan a proper catch-up over brunch next month when you’re really free!
3. Have Delicate Décor
Yes, that’s a stunning vintage vase on my coffee table. I found it at a flea market and it means a lot to me. When you visit (which I absolutely love), I may get a little protective over my belongings. I adore your child, but I also enjoy my stuff. That’s why I keep some toys around to entertain while ensuring my vase remains intact.
4. Enjoy Swearing and Speaking Freely
I apologize for my colorful language; I know you used to have a potty mouth too! I might accidentally drop an f-bomb when your kid is around—it’s not intentional, I promise. Besides, I’m sure they’ve heard worse at school, right?
5. Yes, I Have a Vibrant Love Life
Now, this one might be a bit sensitive. I understand you’re juggling schedules and maybe squeezing in some “date nights,” but I still enjoy a lively love life. Just because you’re working around nap times doesn’t mean I can’t share my own adventures, right?
But hey, how about this? Next time you need a night off for some stress-free romance, give me a heads-up a few days in advance—I’d be happy to babysit! Bonus: I’ll even stash the vase away for safekeeping.

Summary:
In essence, while I cherish my friendships with parents, I also want to remind them of the unique experiences I have as a child-free individual. From sleeping in to having delicate decor, our lives can look quite different. It’s all about finding balance and understanding each other’s worlds!
