When do we stop inviting girls or boys in fam to our homes when we have older kids?
At what age and what about cousins etc?

You see I am just starting to have this dilemma and both my husband and I can't fully decide on what to do?

why should it be a problem? I always enjoyed my cousins coming over girls or boys it is not like I am gonna actualy marry any of them. And if by chance one of your kids do marry their cousins which I have seen done before then what is so bad, then it was meant to be no? And the worst that could possible be is that you would become a grandmother/great aunt/mother in law and the like in a span of a year. And if you do decide not to have them over you are depriving your kids of family.

freilich- im not sure why its different than unrelated boys and girls. I stopped playing with my boy cousins way before bas mitzvah, and definitely by the time I was 9, I dont remember exactly. but that was playing together. as far as talking and having conversations, it just became "hi how are you."
I grew up surrounded by so many first cousins I couldnt remember all their names although we saw them a few times a year. the other girl and boy cousins did interact more than I did which I thought was strange, but since we kept more than they did I was used to being different.

Freilich, I think if the kids are frum, a clever sitting arrangement will do the trick.
I the kids in question are more modernish, then when they notice opposite relations is the time for separation. Gotta watch them!

RG- B"H you have such a large family. My kids can't claim to have that many cousins. The ones they have we cherish! I think RG made a good point though- the kids over time will seperate themselves. I have seen families who I was close with while becoming frum where the kids didn't touch and horseplay, but they had good relationships.

Don't worry FY, the seder is motzei shabbos this year, so everyone will have had what to eat that day. but I agree that seder is diff. than a reg. shabbos meal. it matters how many ppl. you're talking about and as FY said you still may be able to handle it w/ a good seating plan.

good point, 0613
However, just keep in mind that small - framed/ sized people get intoxicated faster.
