My aunts still try to fatten me up.

Two of my aunts are Catholic sisters.

I have two aunts and three cousins in Korea as well.

Our house was always full of grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins.

My uncles and my aunts were outstanding. There's just no other way to say it.

I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.

We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.

I had a wonderful family including my aunts, uncles and cousins but they've all gone to heaven.

We are very close as a family. There are uncles and aunts for whom I would stand in front of a truck.

There was a group of six women in my household. My mom, aunts and grandma. I watched them in the kitchen.

I've had aunts and uncles who not only haven't read my books but could hardly believe that I was a writer.

Growing up, my aunts would always put in hair ties and bows and all kinds of stuff, and I always hated it.

I had aunts who played piano and sang and also were entertainers, so music was very much a part of my life.

I grew up with a posh English accent, and all my aunts sounded as if they came out of a Merchant Ivory movie.

I grew up with a very big extended family, with a lot of aunts. We had about five or six houses on one street.

Mom was a single mother. So three aunts and three uncles and all of mom's friends pitched in as weekend warriors.

I was complimented for looking young and yet was offered roles of aunts, sister-in-law and very soon grandma too!

Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.

I come from a family with many dancers, my aunts learnt dance, so did Kamal Haasan and, as a child I learnt it, too.

I have a big family. Even though it's only three kids in our family, it's always aunts and uncles and the whole thing.

I was very lucky growing up, and I got all my dad's and aunts' toys from the 1950s and 1960s and loved those old pedal cars.

My grandparents and my aunts tell me that I need to make a name for myself like my mother. Their thoughts really motivate me.

My mother didn't play being disrespectful to women. I was around grandmas and aunts. You learned pretty quick to be respectful!

My only way of getting my uncles' attention or aunts' attention or whoever's attention was by dancing and singing around the house.

My mother and father had been through the Holocaust. The family was wiped out. I grew up never knowing aunts, uncles, or grandparents.

Mom was a smoker. My grandfather was a smoker. My aunts were smokers. My uncles were smokers. I don't know any smokers now, not even my mom.

All my grandparents and great aunts and uncle love 'Foyle's War.' They all lived through the war and love to see it reconstructed so authentically.

I had grown up in a world dominated by women - I had aunts and sisters and great-aunts - and I just felt like I lived in a completely female world.

I knew nothing about my mum's family. Her parents were dead by the time she was 14. She was brought up by two aunts, and she only ever met one uncle.

I have family dotted everywhere - Dad's in California; I've got aunts in Scotland and Virginia; family in Kansas City; family in Manchester and London.

Well, I do have some maiden aunts that are not quite like the aunts in the book, but I definitely do have a couple of them, and a couple of old aunties.

Whenever I've not known what to do, I've always gone back to the Carter Family because there was nothing like singing with my aunts and my mom to my grandma.

Basically, I grew up watching Carter girls on stage, watching my grandmother, my mom and my aunts perform. They used to say, 'Okay, Carter girls, you're on!'

I never smoked in my life. Neither did my mother. And so many women I meet whose mothers or aunts or whoever who have gotten lung cancer were no-time smokers.

I shared a room with my parents until I was 7, and I lived with my uncles and aunts and my cousins and my grandfather... so the house was always full of people.

I wasn't what you would envision for the son of an Army man. I liked doll baby clothes and twirled a baton. But my aunts and uncles tell me how much he loved me.

My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were all funny, and I felt that energy, that delivery, that timing, that sarcasm. All that stuff seeped into my brain.

My God, it's laundry and family when I come back home. I've got to see my brother and kids, and my sister-in-law, my aunts, my uncles, cousins; everybody is here.

Parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles are made more powerful guides and rescuers by the bonds of love that are the very nature of a family.

I love being around my family. I am very close to my mum, my brother, my grandmother, my aunts - we constantly poke fun at each other, but it's all done out of love.

I grew up in Senegal, where more than 50 percent of the women bleach their skin, and skin bleaching is a huge deal. I grew up seeing my cousins and my aunts using it.

As parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts we need to start getting out into nature with the young people in our lives. Families play a key role in getting kids outside.

Mum and Dad used to do a lot of entertaining. We had quite a nice house, so everybody descended on us at Christmas - aunts and uncles, who weren't even aunts and uncles.

It was my mom and I against the world. We lived in New York in this bohemian lifestyle where an extended group of artists and photographers were like my aunts and uncles.

I'm a guy who was born in Cincinnati and whose entire family except for my mother still lives in Cincinnati - my grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, you name it.

No one ever said, 'Be a doctor.' But because so many members of my extended family - aunts, uncles - were doctors, there was this expectation that I'd probably be a physician.

My family is very creative. My grandfather played the guitar in Cuba. My sisters, my mom and two aunts would do harmonies, so I would see them and think, 'I want the attention.'

My aunts told wonderful stories. Not to me, but to each other. We had a very strong family. My mother's sisters loved each other intensely. The uncles loved each other intensely.
