My husband has 6. He is super close with four of them and I love it. </p> <p>My LO has 6. And that will be it. I am hoping that she is close to all of them because I am so sad that I am not close to my cousins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417797 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:52:09 +0000 sunny 417797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 22 first cousins and DH has 4 I think. LO currently has no cousins since she is the first grandchild on both sides and will likely be the only one for awhile... I'm guessing she might get a cousin in about 7-10 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417791 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:50:53 +0000 Running Elley 417791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For first cousins I have 2 on my mom's side and on my dad's side I have 12.

But one side is totally estranged so I never speak to them, and I don't really talk to the other side much either just because we're not all that close (I grew up closer to the side I don't speak to). It's sad. LO won't have any cousins, DH and I are both onelies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417341 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:37:12 +0000 SAHM0811 417341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first cousins?

My mom is one of 13 (yes, 13). Of those 13, 10 have kids! Right now I am counting ~32 but I am probably forgetting someone. On my dad's side I have 6. </p> <p>Our future LO will probably only have 2-3 cousins on my side, but plenty on DH's, since he has 7 siblings. They all live in Ecuador though, so we won't see them much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417263 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:13:41 +0000 chopsuey 417263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot. 30ish.<br /> Maternal grandma had 8 living children (2 passed away early)<br /> Paternal had 7, 4 died at a young age..</p> <p>My Lo has 2 cousins.<br /> She won't have more 10 I'm sure.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417254 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:10:35 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 417254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I forgot the second part of the question! My siblings have no kids so no cousins for any little ones on my side. But FI's brother has three girls and a baby boy.

Too many to count on my dad's side--he is one of 9 and all of my aunts and uncles have at least 2 kids.</p> <p>LO has none. My siblings don't have children and DH's brother is only 7 so it will be a long time before she has any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417161 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:39:34 +0000 mango.sprays 417161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just 1.<br /> I'm an only child too, so any future LOs will only have cousins if my one SIL has kids - which she's not sure she wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417159 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:38:00 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 417159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have I think ten or eleven on my moms side (my Uncle had kids that I don't know - they always lived out of state and my Uncle would visit alone because he is a cross country truck driver). So, 8 cousins on that side that I know and then however many my Uncle had (I think two with his first wife and a third with an ex girlfriend)</p> <p>On my dad's side I have 6 cousins.</p> <p>So, 14 that I knew/grew up with. I was/am closer with my cousins on my moms side because they're more my age and we grew up in the same state. I'm the youngest of the cousins on dads side so they were all teenagers/young adults in my childhood memories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-do-you-have-how-about-your-current-or-future-los#post-417155 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:35:44 +0000 DigAPony 417155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 4 cousins on my mom's side and 4 on my dad's. My kids won't have any cousins unless my brother-in-law (who's only 21 right now) has kids.
