Nephew is older than the uncle

[MongGrel]

It used to be much more common when families had 5, 8, 10 or more kids spaced out over 20 or more years. I knew a number of families growing up where a younger kid was an aunt or uncle of an older one. My best friend was from a family of 11 kids. His youngest sister was born when his oldest sister was 25.

This is true.

I went up north years ago when we had a big thing for my grandparents 50th anniversary.

Was odd, a lot of people I'd grown up with were more like aunts and uncles after the large families getting spread out over time, when I was growing up the were always referred to as cousins I guess.

I was almost 30 then, some my generation were 8-12.

I'm younger than a niece. All it means is that at least one of your parents had children born many years apart from one another.

I am 29 and I have a 10 year old uncle and a 20 year old uncle.

My half sister was born in the '60s. I was born in the '80. My sister got pregnant at 13. I was almost younger than my niece.

My mother's cousin is almost 18 years younger than me. In fact, his grandfather was my grandmother's father. It means a generation difference between me and him while I could almost be his parents.

Again, it may be interesting that my grandmother's cousin was only 2 years older than me, and we spent many years together in the same school. I tried not to let other children at school notice my family relationship with him because I was embarrassed. When he wanted to ask about my grandmother, he would tell me how my cousin was. Despite all this, I called him by name.View attachment 44617View attachment 44618
