If someone is from my parents generation they aunts and uncle, if they from my generation they cousins and if they from the next generation they nieces and nephews…you can miss me with that first removed, etc nonsense
And everybody family cause how close you are in blood ain’t s***, I got “5th removed cousins” who I’m taking bullets for and they taking bullets for me and I got blood cousins who I ain’t talk to in years and they live 30 min away
weird how 1st cousin once removed could either be your cousins kid or parents cousin. very different relationships and the latter would be consistently much older than the former so why do they share the same term
Only calling people from my generation my cousins any kids they have is nieces nephews, and cousins of my parents and grandparents are uncles/aunts, even with extended cousins/uncles/aunts we have a pretty solid connection and are around each other a lot
i feel like 2nd, 3rd cousin etc is for white people
most of my friends / family (not blood fam) are mostly POC and they all say auntie or uncle
cousins
