My own children have a lot to do with their cousins, except one of my sister’s three boys, who they have absolutely nothing in common with! I don’t think they would even recognise them if they saw them!

So what about you and your family, do you get on ok with your cousins and keep in touch? Or are they your worst enemies?
I am in touch, mostly by social media. Today I had quite a long call from a cousin, three years my elder. We are trying to catch up on family history.

Re: Do You Have Much To Do With Your Cousins?

Until I was about 8, I used to play "Doctors and Nurses" with my sister and 5 cousins (2 male, 3 female) on my father's side .....

Sadly, the cousins (1 male, 4 female) on my mothers side were "religious" and well aware that the wages of sin is death (or worse) .....

Re: Do You Have Much To Do With Your Cousins?

I have three cousins, all male. We've never kept in touch and I only see two of them at funerals.

I've always thought if I had a female cousin we would have kept in touch more.

15 cousins, three dead, see them only at funerals. It's nice to see them but we don't keep in touch.

Re: Do You Have Much To Do With Your Cousins?

Same as you Art, weddings and funerals only. I don't dislike my cousin but we have nothing in common except our family tree.

Re: Do You Have Much To Do With Your Cousins?

I have a favourite cousin, I love her to bits.
My other cousins are across the other side of the world.
I am close with my husband's cousins.
We are going away together in March.

Re: Do You Have Much To Do With Your Cousins?

Yes I have several cousins and 2nd cousins ect I see most of them when I'm down at my own home for a while, we meet up for a catch up lunch. We keep in touch through Facebook and Skype when I'm up north. We all get along fine.

Re: Do You Have Much To Do With Your Cousins?

I have two cousins on my late mother's side of the family. They are both on their sixties.
I saw them both together at their mother's funeral a year ago and promised to keep in touch.
Sadly I haven't, but I will be visiting one of them who lives near Scarborough this summer. She is a lovely person.
The other lives in Bedford and I really should make the effort to arrange to see him.
My only other cousin died about three years ago. He was my late father's nephew.
All I have is a sister and a nephew apart from my wife, her two daughters and grandchildren.
My wife has an enormous family but doesn't see her cousins much. She does however keep in touch with her brothers and sisters and all their offspring.
