my sister and I got closer after I had my kids. Between the two of us, I was the first one to have kids and she has been an excellent Aunt, I must say. Seeing how she is with them has brought us closer, over the years. We've always had a rather challenging relationship, so it's been nice to have the kids bring us together, so to speak. Now that she's a relatively new mom, herself, it's been another chapter for us, too. It's been cool.

I hear what you mean about it being somebody else's kid. That's a good thing, I think. :D
