So....two 1/2 cousins? Lol, is that even a thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2581019 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 11:00:04 +0000 MrsA 2581019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4, all on my side. DH's sister is getting married soon and they're talking about kids, so hopefully soon-ish on his side. </p> <p>I only had one first cousin, so it's so fun to see dd with her family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2580851 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 07:51:13 +0000 cat620 2580851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! And I'm not sure how many they will have, but I don't think it will be a lot. Maybe 4? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2580849 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 07:49:54 +0000 Alivoo01 2580849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 as of right now from BIL. He's 8 years old compared to my oldest who's almost 3. My younger brother isn't married yet so who knows if he'll have kids or how many when he does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2580809 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 22:25:14 +0000 ALV91711 2580809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 first cousins. Two are older teenagers that we haven't seen since he was a baby. 3 are younger and he adores them all and loves being the big cousins. </p> <p>He has lots of second cousins but we don't get to see them very often, only a couple times a year. </p> <p>I don't think he'll get any more first cousins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2580379 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 04:40:06 +0000 erinpye 2580379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only 1 first cousin, but a TON of second cousins because I have 13 first cousins, and most of them have 4 kids each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579807 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:25:40 +0000 travellingbee 2579807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2- and that's all there will be... But they see them a lot. We live a few miles away so see each other every couple of weeks or so. They are much older (8 &amp; 10 versus mine who are 3 &amp; 6 months) but still close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579804 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:16:03 +0000 peachykeen 2579804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ZERO so far! Which is so weird to be because I have almost 50 cousins myself.</p> <p>DH is an only child, so no hope there, but I do have 2 unmarried siblings who may give us cousins in the future... They'll likely be much younger than our kid(s) though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579770 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:35:59 +0000 krispi 2579770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just has my brother's 2 kids. </p> <p>We see them every month to 2 months, so I'm hoping she and her cousin that is only 3 months younger than her will end up being close (They're still infants.)</p> <p>Sometimes it makes me kind of sad because I grew up with lots of cousins, but on the other hand I didn't see mine quite as often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579461 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 00:45:47 +0000 birdofafeather 2579461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0 at this point. Hopefully some soon by SIL and then probably at some point with our remaining unmarried siblings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579444 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 23:51:30 +0000 Anagram 2579444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our girls have 9 first cousins--6 on my side and 3 on DHs side. My side, the cousins are all much older. On DH's side, they are 8,6, and 9 months and our kids are almost 2 and 10 months, so they all like playing together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579408 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 22:51:56 +0000 tinyperson 2579408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579393 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 22:10:08 +0000 yin 2579393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOs have three cousins on my side and two cousins from DH's side (more like DH's cousin's kids). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579383 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 21:52:57 +0000 Aandmklover 2579383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They currently have 2.

That's probably all she will ever have.</p> <p>LO has 15 second cousins and counting. Some of them live nearby and will probably be as close as I was to my cousins growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579269 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:50:43 +0000 abmamma 2579269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None- and it could be that way for a long time! I'm an only and DH only has a younger brother (who is not likely the type to settle down anytime soon). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579244 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:30:50 +0000 MrsSCB 2579244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero! We both have one sibling, but they're unmarried/no kids. Our cousins have kids, though, so I guess they have five....second cousins? Or something? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579241 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:26:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 2579241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 on D's side and 16 on my side.

And she may only have 1 since my bro and BIL don't even have gfs. But she has a few second cousins and a ton of god siblings, which I count as cousins :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2579213 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:00:32 +0000 Finfan 2579213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One on each side and that's it. 2 and 5 years older than my oldest, a girl and a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578871 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:10:35 +0000 sandy 2578871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has 1 first cousin (on DH's side). I think that's going to be it for her. </p> <p>DH has a cousin that is only 8 years older than LO so she calls him her cousin and they adore each other. </p> <p>I have a few cousins close to LO's age so she calls them her cousins too and they get along great. And a few of my cousins have kids but we aren't close to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578859 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:05:17 +0000 kes18 2578859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None right now, I could maybe see 2 someday but probably 7 years off. My brothers I don't see having kids (they're almost 29 and just moved out of my parents house) and for my DH's brothers (3 of them) I don't think 2 want kids and the 3rd is only 24 so I think he might have some eventually but not for quite a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578850 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:03:51 +0000 travelgirl1 2578850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 and three step cousins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578840 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:59:30 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2578840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She only has 4, and that's all she'll ever have. BIL &amp; SIL have 4 kids and are done (DH's only sibling). My brother didn't have any children and has passed away, and my sister won't be having any children (she's older and her boyfriend had 2 kids already and had a vasectomy - that said, it is still possible for her to have children, but she doesn't want to anyway). It makes me sad because I have a bunch of cousins from both sides of my family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578791 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:24:55 +0000 Madison43 2578791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13. 5 of my side, 8 on my husbands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578789 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:23:32 +0000 skipra 2578789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 cousins that we see for a couple weeks at a time 1-2 times a year. I wish we lived closer and could see them more often!<br /> They also have several step-cousins and second cousins but we really don't see them much either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578766 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:14:57 +0000 Smurfette 2578766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 boys on each side. But then my side, we also have my cousin's kids, which are like cousins cause we are all really close, so that is 9 more. Then I have 3 cousins that still want to have kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578748 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 12:56:14 +0000 lamariniere 2578748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LOs got two new cousins (twins) today! It's so exciting!</p> <p>Now there are 3 on my side and 2 on DH's side. My side is definitely done. Not sure about DH's side though, I know there is talk of a 3rd kid for the couple that has them already and my other BIL isn't even in a relationship, so who knows what the future will hold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cousins-does-your-lo-have/page/2#post-2578696 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 12:24:13 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2578696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One, but she's DH's stepsister's daughter so we hardly ever see her (and she's 6ish years older).</p> <p>Other than that, DH is an only child so zero on his side and my 2 brothers are a long way away from having kids so my LOs are definitely going to be much older than any future cousins. Such a bummer! I grew up surrounded by cousins close in age, the holidays were so much fun when we were little. </p>
