Extended, blended families, and generally more separated and divorced couples who remarry or cohabit do make for some pretty unlikely sounding relationships in age terms nowadays! But then My F-i-L was a "surprise" baby for his parents when they were in their late 40s. As a result some of his nieces and nephews were older than him. Very odd!
Lip Gloss Jun 2021 2:57pm, 9 Jun 2021 52,073 posts	0 Lip Gloss Same there too. They have a daughter who is 2 years older than my grandson ( her nephew ) and they have another daughter 4 years younger ...
Rosehip Jun 2021 3:01pm, 9 Jun 2021 21,364 posts	0 Rosehip One of the girls at school was always saying it was her niece picking her up today and we assumed incorrectly that she meant aunt. Nope, she had a niece 5 years older than she was. Confusing.

I mean back in the day when my great grandparents were still alive they were having their youngest, a baby called Sylvia the same time my grandmother had my mum! So Sylvia is my mums auntie, the really funny thing is she married one of my dads brothers making her my auntie, too!

SarahWoo Jun 2021 3:17pm, 9 Jun 2021 14,445 posts	0 SarahWoo My Grandma had her seventh child after my Mum had had all 3 of us so I have an uncle who is 4 years younger than me. His kids range from 17 to 23 and it feels a bit weird that they're my cousins when they're younger than my own children.
