I was at my sisters house earlier for lunch and was talking to her in the kitchen while she cooked. I was talking to her about the financial difficulties DP and I are having. I am very stressed about it and admit I had a little bit of a cry (needed a hug from my big sis).
Unbeknownst to me my 9 year old DNephew was listening from the other room, not playing on his DS like we thought.
When I went in there he said he wanted a 'talk' and told me he'd been saving his pocket money up and wanted me to have it.
I would never take his money, but his gesture had me welling up. Especially because his savings are for a skateboard that he's wanted desperately for months. What a lovely little man he is...
My DP tells me I go 'mushy' over the boy and that it's silly because he isn't my child (although we are very close) but I think I have good reason to, he is a star.
AIBU?
To be all tearful because...

And for the record I go VERY mushy over my nephew too - I thought that's what Aunties were meant to do! 
That's lovely. 
We aren't having the best of times and my DCs are always offering their money when I go shopping, "just in case you need it Mum".
It always makes me well up, because I feel so bloody crap that they are aware of how shit our situation sometimes is.
My DCs are AMAZING ! 
Aaaaw!! That is SO sweet of him.
not strange to go gushy over DNs, it's what Aunties do.
Aaaahhhh.
How lovely is he?
Im like that over my nephew too (who is also turning into a lovely thoughtful young man) so dont be
I hope your money situation improves soon [hug]
Sorry, I welled up too
And I know neither of you.
