In the culture I'm from (indian), it's not at all abnormal to call dads and moms friends uncle and auntie. It took me forever to realize our godparents weren't related to us even though we called them uncle and aunty.
So your last statements only true if you restrict the 'we' you're talking about.
- pests 3y agoAgreed. I, an American, have a small family and have many "adopted" family relationships - an ex of my mother I call uncle, his ex wife incall grandma, etc. It works out and no one is surprised or confused when I clarify they aren't really blood family.
