What do you call your Cousin's kids?

[iubud]

My cousin's daughter coming to live with us this summer and we are doing some preliminary planning. I will be introducing her to friends and she will likely meet my kid's friends.

What is she to me? Is she my second cousin or is that what she is to my kids? A cousin on the other side of my family calls everyone cousin regardless of generation. I've always thought that was confusing. It is confusing enough I have several first cousins younger than my own kids. and cases where uncles are the same age as their nieces and nephews.

Depends if you're the dad or not.

 

[iubud]

Depends if you're the dad or not.

Fair enough, assume that I am not her dad.

 

[kkott]

Baby or Trouble. Are you from KY? Then it could be Mom, or Darling.

 

[Willray]

Cousin & 1/2 or cousin once removed to you, your children's 2nd cousin.

 

[outside shooter]

To you, she's your 1st cousin, once removed
To your kids, she's their 2nd cousin

"This is our cousin"

 

[largemouth]

"Kissin" cousin!

 

[iucutter87]

"Kissin" cousin!

I will need to see something in a two-piece to answer this question.

 

[hookyIU1990]

"Cousins" or "These are my cousin's kids" is how I introduce them.

Edited to add: I'd need to see a pic of their mom in a 2 piece to truly understand how you should introduce them.

Two pieces?

She would be a second cousin to you. Most people drop the second and just call people cousin. But I see nothing wrong with saying, "this is my second cousin so and so."

Wrong. If it's OP's first cousin's kid, then the kid would be OP's first cousin once-removed.

 

[VanPastorMan]

Wrong. If it's OP's first cousin's kid, then the kid would be OP's first cousin once-removed.

We call them Nick and Austin.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the definitive dictionary of the English language, your dictionary is wrong:

2. One's parent's first cousin.

Definition of second cousin in English:

[outside shooter]

You would call them first cousins once removed and your kids would call them second cousins

But if the family is made of Boilermaker fans, just call them "Hey Sh!thead" and "Hey you dumbf*ck"

 

[iubud]

So, she is my first cousin once removed and my kids' second cousin. I remember older relatives used that term when we used to have family reunions. I never knew what they meant. I will just call her cousin and drop the once removed part.

I won't be posting any pictures, but mom and daughter are very pretty and could pass for sisters.

No, that’s exactly what his said. He just read it wrong.

His dictionary isn't wrong. He just can't read.
