A FAMILY

When two persons are married, the

man is called the husband; the woman becomes his wife. When a child is born in
the family, the father and mother of the child are called parents. A family generally
consists of a father, a mother and children — sons or daughters or both. The first
born child is the eldest, the last born — the youngest. Two children that are born
together are called twins.
The father and mother of the wife (husband) become the father-in-law (in
law — by marriage), and mother-in-law of the husband (wife). The husband is the
son-in-law; the wife — the daughter-in-law; they have brothers-in-law and sisters-
in-law.
The other members of the family are the relatives or relations: uncles, aunts,
cousins, etc.
The brothers and sisters of any of the parents become the uncles and aunts of
the children. The children of two married brothers or sisters are cousins to each
other.
In case of a second marriage, we speak of a stepfather or a stepmother,
stepson, stepdaughter, etc.
