Very Cool! Gostei muito!
Big Brothers is also the name of an organization that matches men with fatherless boys. (Yes, there is a Big Sisters too). The idea is that the boy has an adult mentor in his life, someone to be an example to him, someone who will listen to him and guide him into adulthood.
There is also the expression Dutch uncle. He is a stern mentor, someone who talks harshly and bluntly to a younger person, all with the goal of guiding him to making better and more responsible decisions and choices. I've never heard of a Dutch aunt. I am sure that a woman could "talk like a Dutch uncle" to someone younger.
