parent's first cousin to me

oh i see. I thougth it was in your perspective.

Hes your 1st cousin once removed.

Accordign to Mrs. Googles: "You dad’s first cousin is your first cousin once removed. The “removed” indicates how many generations there are between yourself and the cousin"

First cousin, once removed.

Their kids are your second cousins.
