    I have just finished couting all my first cousins. There's at least 37 of them (2 RIP). And that's only on my dad's side. A lot of them I've never met.

    Some of us look like we're related to each other. Some don't - I counted at least 3 different skin colours. Some are bilingual. There's a white rasta and an ex-Foreign Legion. So a pretty various bunch all round :D.

    What's your family like?

    No idea tbh have enough trouble keeping up with my brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews not to be bothered with cousins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,100 ✭✭✭✭ted1


    34 mums side 37 dad's side.
    The number has probably increased since I counted. No we're not travellers ;)

    All first cousins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,820 ✭✭✭mailforkev


    20 here.

    I actually know two people with just one first cousin each.

    7.

    Don't like any of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    I've slept with three of my cousins...wait, what was the question?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,676 ✭✭✭✭herisson


    52 first cousins on my mam's side, 4 on my dads :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,400 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    25 on my da's side. Get along with the vast majority but it was a different story growing up when the majority of us grew up in the same flats complex and not a day would pass without at least one fight between us.

    19 for me. Close to just one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,852 ✭✭✭ncmc


    39 on my mothers side (large family who each had a large family themselvs.) Only 4 on my fathers side (family of 4 and two became priests) I can honestly say I am close to only one of them and there some that I wouldn't even recognise if I passed them in the street.

    I have over 60 cousins on the mammys side.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭Paramite Pie


    I have about 35 in total both sides.

    There's a big age gap between some of us (i'm one of the younger cousins on both sides) but we all get on well when we see each other. Some I don't see very often though. Family gatherings are great craic! They can also be very embarrassing but that's life.:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,105 ✭✭✭ectoraige


    48, I think. Although hopefully there's some illegitimate/forgotten ones out there to bring it up to a nice round 50.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,575 ✭✭✭NTMK


    8 on my dads side and 6 on my mams




    are your families rabbits or something?:pac:


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish

    I would never sleep with a cousin or sister - I'm married, you know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,091 ✭✭✭Hitchens


    Wow, quite a lot of Tipperary people posting on this thread :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,754 ✭✭✭Itwasntme.


    10 on my mom's side. 29 on my dad's side.

    I can't tell if you're joking. Say it isn't so :eek:. I kid. Culturally, I am allowed to marry anyone who is not my dad's brother's child or my mom's sister's child.

    In other news, I dreamt about you last night.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Music Moderators, Politics Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 22,360 CMod ✭✭✭✭Dravokivich


    I've only got 2 on my Ma's side. My Da's side, not so sure, there's quite a lot and quite a few of'em I've never really met.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 451 ✭✭Rocket19


    Jeeeeeez, you people have a lot of cousins!!! Christmas must be a free for all. :P

    I only have 9 in total; 3 on my Dad's side, 6 on my Mum's.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭131spanner


    13 1st cousins, and age-wise I'd be close to the middle. So it's not too bad :D

    1) That was a joke
    2) You dreamt of Ryu from Street Fighter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭Love2love


    30 on my Mam's side and 22 on my Dad's. My mother has 52 cousins just from her mother's side and none from her Dad's. The majority on my Mam's family live close by including her cousins and their children

    :pac::pac: Yes, exactly. The resemblance is uncanny.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 843 ✭✭✭Whatsernamex33


    17 first cousins.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    In or around 80. Between aunts, uncles and first cousins I think the number comes in at about 120. My mum had 9 in her family, my dad had 11.

    Though most of the time I genuinely have no idea. My father's side has more cousins than my mother's, but I'm closer to the latter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    I have 5 cousins on my Ma's side and 15 on my dads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,085 ✭✭✭meoklmrk91


    Something like 50 on my mothers side. 10 on my dad's side.

    0.

    No aunts, no uncles, no cousins. Do I win?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,465 ✭✭✭CruelCoin


    I don't have clown car vagina relatives.

    5 for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭yeppydeppy


    I think it's 82, somewhere around there. I know a good few second cousins too but I've never counted them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Penny Dreadful


    31 first cousins (7 on my Dad's side 24 on my Mam's). I don't see them that often so I may have left one or two out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    I haven't met any of my cousins in at least 10 years.

    I intend keeping it that way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    8 cousins.

    3 biological and 3 adopted on my mum's side, and then 2 adopted on my dad's side.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    127 first cousins.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,725 ✭✭✭seenitall


    1 first cousin. That's it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 72,145 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    26 on my mothers side. 1 on my fathers. Guess which side is Catholic.
