I recently came across a study that claimed that a loving and active aunt (your mother's sister) plays a role as crucial as mother in shaping a young child's upbringing.
Do you have an aunt, what kind of relationship do you have with your aunt?
 
I was pretty close with all my aunts growing up.

Most of my aunts helped raised me along side my parents.

I also have two aunts on my dad's side as well, we are pretty close as well.

I have many great aunts on my dad's side too. Some stay in the United States, however, a couple of them in Cape Verde.
 
I'm honestly not that close to my aunts anymore. After my grandmother on my mom's side passed away my family drifted apart. My dad's sister I don't really talk to because I stopped talking to my grandmother and they live together.
 
I have a handful between my two families, I agree they can step up to be a good mother if they are a good person that is.
 
I only have one aunt. She's a very troublesome person but I love her anyways because she's family. I get to see her at least once every year during Christmas.
 
I have two aunts and I am very close to them..They played a great role in my upbringing
 
I have 4 aunts but I'm not very close to all of them the same way. I wish we could find time to bound more often but it's not working out yet.
 
I have a lot of them.
I have about 7 from my paternal side and 5 from my maternal side.

Wow, so many aunts. I have just one from father's side. My mother doesn't have sisters
 
I've got plenty of aunts. Those from my father's side and the ones from my mum's side. I try to relate better with them, unlike my uncles.
 
I have a maternal aunt, but we are not close. She has helped me in several ways though. But for some reasons, our personalities don't match. And that is why we can never be close.
