what do feel about two first cousins?

Well, why not? \nMarriage between first cousins is legal in all European countries and in 26 states in the US.\nContrary to what the others have said, there is actually not such a huge risk in having children with birth defects as compared to not-related couples (36 per 1,000 : 15 per 1,000 births, 95% confidence interval). So first cousins have a over 94% chance of having healthy children. Lets not forget, a lot of people have diseases passed down the family with much greater likelyhood:  that doesn't seem to stop them from marrying and having children. Why is that not disgusting? Personally, if I wanted to be with my cousin I just might decide not to have children. \nBut isn't it strange that the only thing anybody thinks about is potential children? How about if your cousins aren't planning on children? Is it still awful then? \nLeave them be. They are hurting noone.

You and the child are second cousins.\n\nSiblings have the same parents; cousins have the same grandparents; second cousins have the same great-grandparents; and so on.\n\nYour mother's first cousin's child is a first cousin once removed to your mother.

I have been blessed with having my parents still with me. My little cousins, however, are a different story. My paternal cousin's husband had killed her, and then he committed suicide. They left three young children all under the age of 10 at that time. Fortunately, they have an uncle (another cousin) and a grandma (my uncle's former wife) that are raising them. Of course, they will never know how much a biological parent can give to a child. Then again, I have heard horror stories of what biological parents do to their kids. Really, it's all about how the situation is. It could have been much worse, and the kids might have been split up and put out for adoption. The key is trying to make the best out of any situation. At least the kids were not involved.

As the parent of twins I can say that I often feel bad for them because they always get half of what their "singleton" cousins get.  Yes, it's one even for both of them but they are seperate people.  If they were born one year apart then you would be going to a bar/bat mitvah this year and a bar/bat mitvah next year.  What would you give at each event?   It might feel like alot of money because it's all on the same day but if they were cousins born on the same day would you give less to the child in one family versus the other?

My brother and I both grew up knowing from the start that we were adopted.  Yes we are biological brother and sister.  I don't feel that it affected me at all rather than the void of not knowing where I came from.  I think that I keep people at more of a distance now that I have been reunited with my birthfamily (due to alot of deceit and unanswered questions).

first cousin once removed.  You and your mom's cousin's child would be second cousins.

Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed

My youngest and oldest have both had babies, I was extremely happy about both.  Both My kids are still my babies, no matter who came first or last, I love them both more than my own life.

say your mom has a 1st cousin, your once removed to that same person. if your moms cousin had a kid, they'd be your 2nd cousin.

No, first cousin twice removed. She's a first cousin to your son/daughter, once removed to your grandson/granddaughter, and twice removed from your great granddaughter. If she was your great great niece, she'd be third cousin.

That's not weird at all if you stop to think about it. Most of us have all experienced strong feelings for those that are in some way related to friends of our's. We can only hope that our friends sponsor our actions, and understand that love doesn't revolve around avoiding relatives of friends. So, like the cousin and let it be known that normal is related. lol  Good luck!!

I never wanted a brother or sister, I felt special because my parents just had me to love. As an adult I somethimes find parties/gatherings difficult, feeling as though I don't know how to behave in groups of people.  \n\nFriends of mine have an only child, an outgoing, bubbly ten-year old. She has daily interaction with other children in her street, sees her grandparents often, and has friends over to stay. Her parents involve her in everything they do, and spend a lot of time with her.\n\nI would say that an only child will learn many positives (happy in own company, used to talking to adults etc.) but you must make sure that they see a lot of their friends, and also spend time with children of different ages, so that they learn how to play as they would in a bigger family.

It is really difficult to understand exactly what you are asking.  Do you mean the cousins won't talk to each other?  And how do you fit in?  Sounds like something you should just stay out of.

When I was a kid, I lived with my grandparents (my father's side). They like boys more than girls as they are trandition chinese. I could feel that my grandmother didn't like me so much and even looked down at me such as all the family members (eg, my cousins) who studied at the same primary school but me. The primary school I studied was not as good as their. They thought I couldn't reach the same level. I don't hate them. I just think why they treated me like that... even at the end, I am the first one and the only one who could educate in University.
