Family rituals can positively influence their members
Bearing in mind the significant roles aunts and uncles play when they maintain a close relationship with their siblings, it’s evident that the time they spend with their nieces and nephews is extremely important, too. Even more so if it becomes a ritual of some sort, be it an ice cream date every other Sunday or a weekend getaway every summer. Studies suggest that family rituals and routines can have a positive impact on adults’ marital satisfaction, adolescents’ sense of personal identity, children’s health, academic achievement, and stronger family relationships.
However, for the OP, creating a ritual with all of her siblings’ kids wasn’t an easy task. She found it difficult to deal with her 10-year-old niece’s outbursts and difficult behavior, so she set a clear boundary, which her sister wasn’t too happy about. After reading her story, some netizens sided with the redditor, saying that her refusing to take her niece on trips didn’t make her a jerk. Others, however, shared a different opinion.
