    2. Between my bro's family and mine, there are 4 boys under 5.

    13 so far, all on my husband's side.

    4 so far just on DH's side. His sister has 4 LO's. My brother and sister are still young (20) so none from them yet! Hopefully in the future though!

    0 but six siblings yet to have kids and I know that most of them probably will have at least one at one point.

    5 cousins and 2 step cousins.

    2 of the cousins and the 2 step cousins are adults, and we don't see them (ever!). The remaining 3 live in another state and are 7-14 years older.

    Zero, we are the first (only) of our sibs to get married & have babies.

    LO has a bunch of second cousins or once removed; I'm not sure the correct term, but he has little relatives.

    2 step cousins right now, and 2 "cousins" who are my bff's girls. I imagine we will eventually have 2-3 blood cousins on my husband's side, but not any time soon.

    One, but she's DH's stepsister's daughter so we hardly ever see her (and she's 6ish years older).

    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.

    My LOs got two new cousins (twins) today! It's so exciting!

    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.

    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.

  13. skipra

    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!
    They also have several step-cousins and second cousins but we really don't see them much either.

  14. Madison43

    13. 5 of my side, 8 on my husbands.

  15. JennyLayneAZ

    nectarine / 2690 posts

    She only has 4, and that's all she'll ever have. BIL & 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!

  16. travelgirl1

    13 and three step cousins.

  17. kes18

    apricot / 485 posts

    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.

    LO has 1 first cousin (on DH's side). I think that's going to be it for her.

    DH has a cousin that is only 8 years older than LO so she calls him her cousin and they adore each other.

    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.

    One on each side and that's it. 2 and 5 years older than my oldest, a girl and a boy.

  20. SugarplumsMom

    Just 1. 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

  21. lovehoneybee

    4 on D's side and 16 on my side. They only see the ones on D's side, though.

  22. MrsSCB

    pomelo / 5257 posts

    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?

  23. abmamma

    kiwi / 641 posts

    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).

  24. lady baltimore

    persimmon / 1196 posts

    Only 2 first cousins (1 and 5 years older than LO), and they do not live nearby. That's probably all she will ever have.

    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.

  25. lilteacherbee

    cantaloupe / 6791 posts

    None yet DH is an only child and my sister is young and unmarried/no kids.

  26. Aandmklover

    kiwi / 506 posts

    They currently have 2. My niece is one day shy of a year older than my son and my nephew is 8 months younger than my younger son.

    They should have many cousins eventually. My husband is one of three and I'm one of five.

    LOs have three cousins on my side and two cousins from DH's side (more like DH's cousin's kids).

    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.

  30. birdofafeather

    pineapple / 12053 posts

    0 at this point. Hopefully some soon by SIL and then probably at some point with our remaining unmarried siblings.

  31. krispi

    clementine / 911 posts

    She just has my brother's 2 kids.

    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.)

    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.

  32. peachykeen

    pear / 1648 posts

    ZERO so far! Which is so weird to be because I have almost 50 cousins myself.

    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!

  33. travellingbee

    hostess / papaya / 10219 posts

    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 & 10 versus mine who are 3 & 6 months) but still close.

  34. erinpye

    pomegranate / 3706 posts

    Only 1 first cousin, but a TON of second cousins because I have 13 first cousins, and most of them have 4 kids each.

  35. ALV91711

    pomelo / 5621 posts

    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.

    He has lots of second cousins but we don't get to see them very often, only a couple times a year.

    I don't think he'll get any more first cousins.

  36. Alivoo01

    wonderful olive / 19353 posts

    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!

  37. cat620

    pear / 1809 posts

    None! And I'm not sure how many they will have, but I don't think it will be a lot. Maybe 4?

  38. MrsA

    apricot / 444 posts

    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.

    I only had one first cousin, so it's so fun to see dd with her family!

  39. ValentineMommy

    pomelo / 5791 posts

    0 on my side. 2 on DH's side from his 1/2 brother. So....two 1/2 cousins? Lol, is that even a thing?
