Fewer children have cousins due to declining birthrates

Millennials are noticing their children have fewer cousins, a trend linked to more people choosing not to have kids, impacting family dynamics. This shift is evident in smaller family gatherings and fewer opportunities for children to interact with numerous cousins, as highlighted by a viral TikTok video. The video's creator, Kelsey Meyers, contrasts her large cousin circle with her children's smaller groups. The trend reflects changing societal norms and family sizes, with some attributing larger families to cultural backgrounds. The discussion emphasizes the differences in childhood experiences between generations.
