To think I'm an auntie?

[Meowstro]

If I'm married to your DB, surely I'm your DC's auntie? I find it rude that I'm referred to by my first name, for example, "Meowstro'sDN, pass that to Meowstro please." My DC is an infant and as a sign of respect, I even refer to close friends as auntie so surely if I'm married into a family that makes me worthy of an auntie status? I'm a good one too, I'm always asking about their DC, buying thoughtful gifts but always offer to look after them although unfortunately haven't had the opportunity to.

AIBU?

Marriage is also a legal arrangement. If you are married you are legally part of the family. This means that even if you don't like someone they are still legally your dc aunt.

Thats rather rude of you. You said something that you now say is not at all what you think, perhaps you should make yourself clearer rather than be extremely rude to people who take you at face value?

and there is no legal definition of aunt. The biological one is your parents sisters, that is all. Aunts by marriage or relationship are up to you to choose or not.
