A little bit strange of a question, but if you need to know, the term cousin is gender neutral. It is the child of your parents’ brother or sister. Cousin can apply for both girl or boy. You don’t call only a male or female cousin by the term cousin.

As nouns the difference between sibling and cousin is that sibling is a person who shares same parents one’s brother or sister while cousin is the son or daughter of a person’s uncle or aunt; a first cousin.
Is it correct to say cousin sister?
The word ‘cousin’ is never followed by the words ‘brother/sister’. The word ‘cousin’ is a gender-neutral noun. Incorrect: She is my cousin sister. ‘She’ itself tells us that the cousin is a girl and hence you need not use the word sister along with cousin.)
What age did your kids stop taking baths together?
Our kids stopped when the girl was 7 and the boys were 5 and 3. The reason was more because they wouldn’t all fit comfortably any more than anything else. The boys actually could have continued bathing together for a while, but the 3 year old splashed so aggressively that big brother wanted to bathe alone in peace.
When can children bathe together without their swimming trunks on?
That is when they started to learn of the basics of sexuality and the difference been male and female. Generally, I would say when one of the children reaches puberty, they are too old to bathe together without their swimming trunks on.
Should kids be able to bathe alone?
It really depends on two main factors. The children’s comfort level with bathing with others. I stopped bathing with my siblings around age 7, because I became aware of the idea of privacy and I felt it was important. YOUR comfort level with it. The kids won’t be developmentally harmed by bathing separately.
I think it’s fine to have the cousins share a room, and they’ll love it, I’m sure. Might not sleep very well, but they’ll have a great memory. As for the adults sleeping in the living room, if I were visiting my family at my sister’s home, knowing how many people will be there, I’d have NO PROBLEM sleeping in a living room!
