Do you refer to non blood relations as Uncle or Aunt?

[JemAC]

i only really refer to my parents siblings and their partners, or really just anyone in my family line who’s a sibling to my grandparents or their partners etc, as aunt and uncle. my parents had each of their kids christened so the people i’m directly closed to growing up who weren’t family are my godparents, so if i am referring to the one that i am really close to i just call her my fairy godmother.

Only my blood relatives. I think it’s nice when other people refer to non-blood relatives as auntie or uncle though, I think it’s nice and a sign of respect

Sometimes..? I guess it just really depends! My mom had a really good friend when I was younger, we always called her Aunt Cathy ^^ I miss her a lot. They're not friends anymore which stinks. I miss playing Sonic and Ratchet and Clank at her house when I was little T^T
