What is something creepy that society accepts as the norm?

My sister is making me feel like I'm a pedo just because my niece and I get along well and we like to snuggle and tickle. Nothing sexual about it. Yeah, sure, every once in a while, she gets a little overzealous, but I make sure she understands that it's wrong and that she shouldn't do anything remotely like that.

But no, my sister has told her kid over and over that her uncle shouldn't tickle her, that she's growing up and big girls don't get tickled, big girls don't do this and don't do that. Then she turns around and tells me that my niece is uncomfortable with it, which makes me feel like I've done something wrong.

Spend time with my niece again and she accidentally tickles me, I tickle back, same old same old stuff we used to do, just playing. She's a kid, I mean, c'mon, that's what they do. The second I tickle back, this brainwashed kid goes "my mom says you aren't supposed to tickle me, I'm a big girl now and big girls don't get tickled!" Ok, that's fine, don't wanna overstep any boundaries. Niece decides to do something else, sister is uncomfortable and tries to tell us to do something else, and in the same room as them, can't even be in the next room within view and all doors and whatever open. Niece doesn't feel comfortable doing absolutely anything with me while her mom is watching because she doesn't understand what, according to her mom, is right or wrong. Heck, I don't even understand what she considered right and wrong. What I do know is, is that I can't even spend time with my niece without my sister basically insinuating that I'm a pedophile and making me feel bad for having complete, innocent, childish fun with my niece.

I couldn't be a kid when I actually was one. My parents didn't really allow that. My sister had a different set of parents (we shared a biological father, her mom and my dad split, then so many years later, my dad has another kid (me) with another woman, and here I am) and while I understand that she didn't have a childhood either, that just makes it more confusing that she would try to stop me from being able to just be carefree for a little bit. No, my niece and I actually start having fun, she pulls me back and claims I'm perverted, when our shared father is the weird pedo looking and his granddaughter's ass saying she has a bubble butt like her mom (which, if you've been following (and if I've been leading correctly) is his own daughter) but he can hug my nieces, kiss them on the cheek, tickle them, all kinds of overly-friendly perverted-ass shit to them right the fuck in front of my sister, and she doesn't care.

Fuck

I feel like I should delete all this, but maybe I just want an outside opinion on this, I don't fucking know...
