I was reading in another blog and I started to think about it…why is it when a woman talks about morals or doing the right thing or just u know…not falling head over heels for them (yeahhhhh) they label her as “Aunty”?
Girls are guilty of it too…using “aunty” to insult a woman whose only maybe 3-4 years older than her. double Roll-eyes
Think of all the times you heard someone, whether in real life or on here, say they would hate to be an aunty, to look like an aunty etc. Idk abt yall, but when i think of “aunty” i think of women who sacrificed alot of themselves to take care of their children, and run a home. So to turn it into a term to diss someone is really disrespectful, no?
Why do girls take the whole "aunty" thing so personally.
Honestly, we are ALL going to be aunties, uncles some day...some of us already are. We are going to get wrinkly, some of us will get fat and according to the younger generation we will be considered "OLD." - It's the inevitable...it's life.
^ Yes and i've also met younger women who give a negative image to other women as well.
Most aunties I know have spent their lives taking care of their families and children, sacrificing almost all of themselves to look after their families. now one can argue so much sacrifice is no good, but the fact remains...they go through all this, so that what? some young holier htan thou person can dismiss everything they ever did? Just b/c they've gained weight or don't follow the latest fashions, apparently they dont' deserve to be respected?
You can saccrifice for your family and not be backward-minded the way a lot of the aunties are, which gives them their negative image. You can get out there and do something other than changing diapers that makes you happy, you can get a job that makes you happy, you can have hobbies that are of substance that make you happy, you can avoid gossip and avoid conniving against other people, you can avoid sabotaging other marriages and families, you can avoid the typical dekha dekhi that desi aunties get themselves caught up in, you can raise your kids with good values and with discipline as oppose to letting them run around like crazy at a dawat.

That sort of thing.
I really think you need to look beyond the circle of people you always stumble and base your generalizations on.
My point was, almost all auntys are mothers. Nobody wants someone to call their mother backwards or conniving etc....that aunty we call names and look down on is someone else's mother too. What's wrong with having just a little bit of respeck for soemone?
PCG is not wrong… I mean those who follow blogs would remember the sort of desi aunties who bad-mouthed some guppan at her own house at a daawat infront of so many other aunties, who said so much bakwaas to some guppan at the hospital instead of wishing her well and applauding what she did, and please don’t make me bring my own negative experiences with aunties into this… So I know where PCG is coming from, I think we can quit questioning the kind of company she’s keeping because everyone has met these kinda aunties and its got nothing to do with your circle of people…
That said, one shouldn’t generalize… My own mother is an aunty to many but one of the nicest aunties you’ll ever meet
So like Sara said, have some respect for everyone, don’t presume things about them, give them a chance, be as loving and welcoming as you can unless they screw you over! But then, this applies to EVERY single person you meet, doesn’t it? … not just aunties…

but this applies to a lot of young ladies too..like who r newlyweds or with little kids..not just aunties
