aunthood
Niece-having family role
Aunthood is the state of being an aunt—having a niece or nephew.
The word parallels motherhood and fatherhood but describes a relationship one step removed: She embraced aunthood with enthusiasm, spoiling her sister's kids at every opportunity.
Less common than "being an aunt."
