    Do you have cousins?

    More than I can count. Both of my parents had 10+ siblings, and most of those siblings got married and had 4+ children.

    I wouldn’t let my kids hang out with my friend’s kids if they were 15 years older than my kids

    I wouldn’t either, but I also wouldn’t let my (hypothetical) children hang out unsupervised with most family members who are 15 years older than they are.

      That’s your choice, I guess. I remember cousins who babysat me, took me to the zoo a hundred times, introduced me to classic musicals, because they were family and trusted and not a friend’s kid… It’s just different is all.
