[quote=Anonymous]My kids have 2 close-age cousins but they live on the other side of the country. They are both boys while I have boy/girl. My girl wished to have a girl cousin her age and felt a bit left out of the boys relationship. Certainly a girl can be close with boy cousins but for not-frequent-visits they didn't really gel. However, she did enjoy spending time on those visits with my old friend who had girls about her age. A cousin-like relationship. They also had cousins 10+ years older and now 10+ years younger and have come to enjoy those relationships when we see them a couple times a year. We don't live near any of them. This is the same as my experience had been -- when I was 3 we moved away from any extended family and saw them only every few years. I still felt close to my same-age girl cousins and enjoy visiting them now. My kids actually see their cousins more often than I did because we make it a priority to visit at least once a year.[/quote]
