You know what scenario blows my mind. When identical twins marry identical twins because each set of twins' kids are technically siblings of the twins' kids.
Or something like that.
Wallie we know twins who married twins
Even worse is that 1 set got divorced. How is that for fucking awkward at their family events...
Wait. Twins marrying twins doesn't make their kids weirdly related. They are all still cousins. If these cousins got married to each other, that's another story, but there is literally no difference than two siblings getting married to two unrelated people.
No. Genetically speaking, they really are siblings.
Huh. I mean I guess you could argue that the epigenetic differences between each twin set would make each sibling set slightly more different than true full siblings.... I wonder how often this has happened though. I want to test all the dna of all involved in those cases.
It's not as weird as procreating with about actual blood relative, though.
Regarding asking / talking to parents before proposing, I'm curious what happens if the parent says no? Mh asked my dad, which I thought was really strange but that's more because I have no relationship with dad at all. I was 25 the year we got engaged, and had seen my dad a grand total of twice in seven years. My mom was really the parent he should have talked to, and she would have said no. Like, what happens then?
Then I guess that's a decision YH would have to make.
I would find asking a parent/parents with whom you do not have a relationship or you and YH do not have a relationship together would be odd.
In my instance, we were close with both sets of parents. So it made sense.
In fact, apparently my Dad said to MH "are you sure you know what you're getting into, marrying Franken?" LOL
Lol this was my parents too. H didn't ask first but when we told them we got engaged my parents were like....uhhh...you sure you want to be stuck with chicken?
My brain hurts reading all this cousin talk. I thought my 1st cousins kids were my second cousins only to find out that is the 1st cousin once removed thing I never understood.
So what is a second cousin then? I can't with the chart tonight.
Second cousins are children of first cousins. Your parents and their parents would have to be cousins. Your grandparents are siblings with their grandparents.
Pepper, I'm sorry you're broken jealous of the rightful place ketchup has taken in your H's life. I wouldn't share my fries with you either if you talked shit on my condiment.
I do, however, realize I am not said condiment. So I appreciate your ETA.

Nope. The child of a first cousin is a first cousin once removed.

Second cousin is your parent's cousin's kid.
No, no. You misunderstand what I was trying to say. Both cousins have children. Those children are second cousins.
MamaRama and MamaRamaCousin have kids. Rama and CousinRama are second cousins.

I always forget what "second" means versus "one removed" and whatnot. Helpful chart!
This doesn't make any sense to me. So the term "1st cousin once removed" means both your first cousins' kids and your parents' first cousins? And why does everyone become a cousin? Why not "niece/nephew once removed" or "aunt/uncle once removed" so at least you have a sense of which generation these rando "cousins" belong to? Gawd.
