My neighbor cheated with his partner's sister, and now lives with the sister. The most aggravating part of it is that he has kids with both. Every other week his ex has to come by to drop off her kids at her sister's house since they share custody. From the kids perspective, their sibling is also their cousin.
Wow, so the kids are half siblings and cousins at the same time. Food for thought
I have a genetic half brother in my mom's side. But since he's older than me, my biological father adopted him, and he has literally always lived with only us, I just view him simply as my brother. I always have.
My mom has an identical twin. Her twin's children - my cousins - are genetically just as related to me as my half brother, who I view simply as my brother.
