It might not be an error, but if it isn't, it means you are your own cousin
as well! Is the cousin relationship with your children possibly because of
a blood relationship with your husband? Or because of repetitive
intermarriages of your own ancestors? The latter create multiple
relationships within a single line; e.g. aunts and uncles who are also
cousins, parents who are cousins to their children, etc. It's definitely a
good idea to check that you have correctly recorded your ancestors, their
marriages, etc., to be sure there's no error, but it's possible both
relationships between you and your children are correct.
