Title: in my family

My family and I once had a close relationship. I don't know that I can say that anymore. It seems nowadays my parents just don't have the time to spend with me anymore, they're too absorbed in books, movies and going shopping that its as if I've fallen off the face of the earth. Now that I have a niece most of their time is spent babysitting her. I always enjoy spending time with my niece. She brightens up my day on a gloomy one. We watch tv together, read stories together, she has a whole play area in the cellar of my sister and brother-in-law's house, but now there's another niece or nephew on the way (we can't be sure) whether its a boy a girl, until January, and if you think its stress for my sister, its stress for the aunt, believe me. The one thing I like about the fact that my sister married is we don't get into these petty arguments over who gets to shower and use the bathroom first, whose turn it is to talk on the phone, etc. She lives in a separate house with my brother-in-law, and no longer has to be supported by my parents, she has a separate phone line, four showers, her own computer, and my brother-in-law to help support her.
