Well not naaaa ciz your, “almost half” call is correct but the math is way off hahaha.
It’s 49 total cousins between 1st cousins and 1st cousins once removed. Not 69. A first cousin once removed is the technically correct way of describing your 1st cousin’s kid’s relation to you. I always called them 2nd cousins but a lemmy post from earlier this year taught me the correct term is 1st cousin once removed.
I wanna say I have 27 1st cousins. Those 27 could make a total possible family count of 27 if they were all married with kids. I’d guess the actual number is really more around 18-21 total families. It’s hard to count them all when factoring in divorces, adoption/taking in other people’s kids etc.
Out of the actual 18-21 families I needed for 100%, mom currently has 9 cards with 2 more I think still in route.
Still, that is so funny tou basically hit the nail on the head swinging blind folded 🤣 thank you for the laugh and Happy holidays, homie!
Edit: the importance of the 1st cousin’s once removed bit is because my mom is the youngest of 12. So some of my oldest 1st cousins have kids older than me and the actual 1st cousin is the same age as my mom.
Actually I may have fucked that up. There might be more actual families than what I said because a couple cards were kids, parents, and my actual 1st cousin being the grandma. That was only 2 of the families I photo cameo’ed with tho.
If it weren’t for your retropie post and the fact that she’s gone no-contact with our dad, I’d question if you were my sister, because this sounds like something she’d do with almost the same family size/relative ages.
Fuck now I wanna pour my life out to you and see how many more similarities we share cuz I have totally gone awol/no-contact with my father over major life disagreements. Use our two experiences as a case study for nature vs nurture affects loljk. Cheers to you and your sibling for being my personality doppelganger 🍻 and happy holidays, homie!
This is absolutely hilarious! 69 families, so you did almost half??
Lol naaaaaa.
