I have 2 cousins on my dad's side and 2 cousin's on my mom's side... so, 4 total.
Charlie and Olive have 4 cousins too!
How many cousins do you have? How about your (current or future) LOs?

I have 3 on my moms and 3 on my dads. If I had a LO right now, they would have 0! Not sure how many nieces/nephews we will end up with!

I have 9 on my mom's side and 7 on my dad's. DH doesn't have any. E will have 14 on my side and 4 on DH's side (although he's likely to only spend time with 2 from my side and the 4 from DH's).

I have zero cousins on my dad's side. I had 4 cousins on my mom's side but one of them has passed away so now I have three. My LO currently has no cousins. My guess would be she'll probably have 4 cousins (two from my bro and two from SIL). We shall see!

I have 1 on my mom's side and either 9 or 10 on my dad's. I can't even remember how many kids my aunt has. Right now, LO has one cousin and one on the way.

I have 25 total first cousins. Hubs only has 5.
Our future LOs will currently have 2, but I'm guessing they will have a couple more in the future.

I have 7 cousins on my mom's side and 26 on my dad's side. If I had a LO today they wouldn't have any cousins. None of my siblings or ILs have kids yet.

I have 9 cousins on my moms side and 0 on my dad's side.
My daughter has 4 boy cousins on my husband's side and 1 boy cousin on my side.

I can't even count. My dad has 8 siblings, my mom has 2, Wagon Sr.'s mom has 8 and Wagon Sr.'s dad has 8. I think every aunt and uncle is married with at least one child.
Right now our kids have 2 cousins, my brother's kids. Wagon Sr. and I are both one of two children and my BIL is not married (yet).

too many to count...but i think on my moms side i have 28 on my moms side...and then on my dads...i think there is only 6 or 7....my cousins on my dads side are already grandparents and maybe even great grandparents...my dad was a lot older when he got married...so his nieces and nephews are old enough to be my parents...

I have 12 first cousins (6 on each side). LO will be the first in her generation and I have no idea how many cousins she'll have!

I have 8 first cousins on my dad's side and 5 on my mom's, the hubs has 2 on his dad's side. our kid will have my BIL's daughter and if they have 1or 2 more. My bro is only 19 so who knows, i'm sure kids are the farthest thing from his mind.
I'm so close to all my cousins ( I organize a "Cousins Weekend" at my house each year) That my kids will grow up as if their kids are their 1st cousins.

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. It kind of bums me out, but there's literally nothing I can do about it!

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)
On my dad's side I have 6 cousins.
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.

Just 1.
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.
coconut / 8234 posts
3 on my mom's side. 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.
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.
clementine / 750 posts
I have ten first cousins. My LO will have 7 when she is born and perhaps a few more to come, as I know at least one SIL and BIL aren't done yet.
cantaloupe / 6171 posts
I have 7 first cousins. dh's only first cousins are much, much older--like in their 50s--so effectively he doesn't have any (they aren't close at all).
we don't have a lo yet, but my bro and sil have 1 and 1 on the way, so our future kids will have at least 2 (probably more--they're talking about having 3-4 kids, and then who knows with my other sil...)

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. So four on that side
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
I have a lot. 30ish.
Maternal grandma had 8 living children (2 passed away early)
Paternal had 7, 4 died at a young age..
My Lo has 2 cousins.
She won't have more 10 I'm sure..
pomegranate / 3244 posts
Oh man, I have so many 1st 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.
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!
grapefruit / 4903 posts
I have 39 first cousins - 5 on my mom's side and 34 on my dad's (who is one of 10 kids). My LO will have 6 so far, but hopefully with more to come since my sister is TTC and my other siblings are too young now.
pomegranate / 3414 posts
I have 10 cousins (5 from each my mom and dad's side). My LOs have 4 cousins (2 from each side).

I have about 30 on my side and my husband has probably around 30 as well.
My kid will have one blood cousin. My husbands brothers don't want kids and my brother will not be having any more. Sometimes it makes me sad. I loved having so many cousins.
kiwi / 629 posts
I have 6 on my dad's side. I don't know about my mom's side as I have no contact with them.
My own children will have at least 6 cousins. My hubs is an only child but my 3 siblings all have 2 kids. Unfortunately they are all going to be quite a bit older than our children...
grapefruit / 4049 posts
first cousins? I have 20 total.
my DDs have 3 first cousins right now... but about 12 second cousins... about half their cousins are pretty close in age with them.

I have six cousins, three on each side. 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.
grapefruit / 4006 posts
I have 4 on my moms side and probably 15 on my dads side, most of whom I've never met. My LO will have at least 5 cousins on my side and 2 on dh's side.
coconut / 8681 posts
For first cousins I have 2 on my mom's side and on my dad's side I have 12. The only ones I see are the ones on my mom's side though since the cousin on my dad's side live in Ohio.
LO has 3 first cousins on DH's side (one in utero and due in january!) and none on mine yet.
coconut / 8430 posts
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!
cherry / 111 posts
I have two. My husband has 6. He is super close with four of them and I love it.
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.
pineapple / 12053 posts
i have 3 first cousins on my dad's side and 6 on my mom's side. DH has 8 first cousins on his mom's side and 16 on his dad's side.
Our little lady is the first on both sides and probably will be for another couple years... until we have another!
