A Family
When two persons are married, the man is called the husband, the woman becomes the 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 is the youngest. The children that are born together, are called twins. The father and mother of the husband become the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the wife. The husband is the son-in-law, the wife - daughter-in-law. They have brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. The other members of the family are the relatives: uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces and so on. The children of two married brothers or sisters or brothers and sisters are cousins to each other. In case of a second marriage we speak of a stepfather or a stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, etc.
