Today my sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl, Caitlyn Anna-Marie, so I am now officially an uncle.

This is not spam! Off to OT! And congrats again, hon!

Welcome brother.

Congrats...so far I'm only an uncle twice over.

Ah Cousins...not quite siblings but almost.

Congrats, and welcome to the Brotherhood of Unclehood.

Two great things about being an uncle:

1) You get to spoil someone else's kids rotten. My nephews say my name like I'm Superman "UUUUUNCLE EEELFDAAAAART!" It's like you're a parent with no responsibility. They will think you are the world's coolest grownup.

2) If you're a single man, taking small children to a park or shopping is the world's most effective chick magnet. If the kids are cute and well-behaved, YOU WILL BE LAID BY A NUMBER OF HIGH-CALIBER CHICKS! -Even after they find out the kids aren't yours. Even if you look like one of the Neanderthals from Quest For Fire!

Being an uncle rules!

Being an uncle is fun. You get to play with the kid and do none of the work unless your babysitting.

Congrats.

This is true.

I... have to take your word for it, because I never had the opportunity to test this out myself. And I doubt I will get a chance.

Being an uncle rules!

Only when your sibling and his or her partner have a happy and healthy marriage. If not, then you're in my world: where you don't see your nephews for months, and they're only allowed to make a brief appearance at their grandfather's funeral by their oh-so-generous mother. May that bitch rot in hell (I am talking about my former sister-in-law).

Simon, I sincerely congratulate you on becoming an uncle. In a couple of years time what Elfdart said basically comes true. I know my nephews adore me, because I'm fun to play with and like them in return. But I miss them also.

Wow, congratulations Flibble!

Thank you all for the congratulations. I am going to see her tomorrow, and will probably take a couple of photos, which I might be able to post here.

Congrats!!

Congrats... and yes being an uncle is like being god cause the kid always seems to look up at you if you are even semi cool/interesting.

Ah, being an uncle feels good, I've been one for over a year. Congrats!

Yea, welcome to the club. My cute little nephew turns 1 this month.

Actually, I get to see more of them because my ex-sister-in-law is such a stupid, irresponsible bitch. My brother won majority custody, so I see them pretty often.

As far as the chick magnet issue goes, most bail once they find out the kids aren't yours. They say "Well, tell your brother if he needs anything... a babysitter, or something else... " This is fundamentally wrong. I refuse to pull chicks for my brother -JEEZ!

But for reasons Desmond Morris can appreciate, whether its teenage girls, old yentas or everything in between, when women see a single guy with small kids, they get baby fever. I got so many phone numbers it was unbelievable! It was like they couldn't help themselves.

Maybe your sister-in-law will grow the fuck up some day and you'll see more of your own flesh and blood. I hope so. Uncles have always been important -especially for boys, who need more than one male elder for a role model.

I went in to see her today, she is so cute. My brother and his wife are very happy, and mother and daughter are both healthy.

I took some pics which are posted in A&P.
