I was 39yrs old when Carter was born, and forty one when his younger brother Logan was born. I think they will know I am their cousin when they are older. Right now I would like for both of them to call me that even though their dad is my first cousin.

I do not think there is a thing wrong with that, especially with the age gap. They need to learn to respect their elders, although I think you are asking the wrong people. I would make sure that their parents are okay with it. They are the only people that I would be concerned about. These are their children you are talking about.

yes, that is acceptable. I did that until i was about 16. I have a cousin and she is 20 years older than me and i was raised to call her Aunt. I honestly never realized when i was little that she was my cousin even though i knew she was my dads neice. It took me a while when i got older though to stop calling her aunt but i don't anymore. But its just a respect thing when your little, my parents have friends that i'm not even related too that i called aunt and uncle when i was younger. so ya its cool.

Sure it's ok :-) Several of my friends children call me Auntie and we are not related in any way. It's a simple matter of a child showing an adult an early form of respect for their elders :-) So if that is how you feel more comfortable being addressed as, I see nothing wrong with it.

They are YOUR COUSINS kids, not your brothers.

I don't think this is a question or whether it's acceptable or not it's your choice. Plenty of people call people "auntie" who are not related to them at all. Or you can ask them to call you "Cousin _____________ "(whatever your name is)

Why? If they were your nephews then okay. And technically, they are your first cousins once removed. Your children and your cousins children would be second cousins.

My mom always had us call our second cousins "aunt" or "uncle" I think it's very appropriate. They are too young to call you by your first name, but "mr" or "mrs" is too formal.
