"We have ten nieces and nephews" should be accepted. Unlike some other languages, any group containing males does not default to male, so a group of 3 nieces and 7 nephews would be "10 nieces and nephews", not "10 nephews".

Yes, that looks correct to me. I only ever hear it with "nieces" before "nephews" but I don't see why it can't also work the other way around.
Thanks, I reported it too. Yes, it is in "Family".
