Wait, your cousin was a whiny brat and begged to have your stuff and you were grounded for it? That doesn't seem fair.

@dessertdesiert:
He should move out if he has a job and is 27. That's no fair go all of you have to put up with his assholeness

@ElysiumFate:
Thanks :) hopefully I'll be off punishment soon. On the plus side, they didn't ban me from going to carowinds tomorrow. I'd been planning a trip with my friends for a while and so it didn't get canceled due to the grounding.

@vox:
Yeah, because apperatly they think because I 'Indian gave' it to him, I'm the one at fault. I also told them he was nothing but a spoiled, pampered little ass. Lol. I think that might be part of it.

Haha, I'm glad you get to go on your trip. Props for calling him a spoiled, pampered, little ass, too. :lol:

@ElysiumFate:
Yes, and it was a fun trip too :p

Do not give that brat anything else. He asks for it because you give it to him, and when you don't, he cries, and you give it to him. I don't want to be rude, but you're making him the way he is. If you would put your foot down and say NO, he would stop asking, or at least after a couple more no's. There is no reason for you to ever give away gifts you received for Christmas to a stingy brat like that. Now that I'm done being angry at the way he acts...

Have you tried talking to him? He's far passed the age where he should be acting like that, and he's old enough to understand that that behavior is ridiculous and wrong. You need to tell him that. Explain to him that people don't want to be around people like that and that he needs to earn things that he wants. Do his parents give him an allowance? That's the next thing I would do. I would mention to his parents the things I've given him and why, and suggest giving him an allowance, maybe as reward for housework or something like that. It will teach the little punk some responsibility and make him earn his own things.

You have to put your foot down at some point, I mean, what are you going to do? Give him all of your clothes and walk around naked? That in itself sounds ridiculous. Stop this now before it gets out of hand. Although I feel like it already has.

As for family members of my own, I have one or two who bug me. One of them isn't technically a family member, which almost makes it worse. Lol but when my mom was pregnant with me she left my dad and got together with some other guy. That guy clearly isn't blood related to me, but he stuck around until I was thirteen, so I consider him my dad. He now has a new wife and a son, they visit all the time, I still call him dad, etc. So we all consider his son a sort of brother to me. That child is IDENTICAL to the little kids on Talladega Nights. He EVEN has red hair, lol. But he does whatever he wants whenever he wants and his parents let him, and he's four. He comes over and turns my t.v. on and off over and over and presses every button he can find in the house and climbs over my doggy gate, and opens all the doors in my house (all of which are the way they are because I have a one year old who can't be wandering around certain places in my home.) He cusses and tells his dad he's going to punch him in the neck and everything crazy, lol. He's cute, but he drives me nuts.

I'm going to end this novel on that note though, need to make breakfast! I hope you can get your issue with your cousin resolved, don't let him walk on you okay!

I'm always really uneasy about spending any time with my mom's brother and his family, especially in public. They're ultraconservative, racist, and homophobic, and aren't shy about making inappropriate jokes and comments about groups of people even in the middle of crowded restaurants and such! The sad thing is, they're friendly people and I get the feeling they don't mean any harm or realize that their remarks are harmful. They just kind of...act like everything is funny and everyone else must surely agree with them, if that makes any sense.

I kind of want to someday call them out on it when they say something offensive, or even out myself as bisexual to them (which I've been afraid of doing for obvious reasons) in an attempt to show them that what they say is hurtful. But it'd probably make things awkward for mom and I don't want to hurt her. Ah well, they aren't around a lot. Maybe eventually one of 'em will say the wrong thing around the wrong person and finally learn the error in their ways.

My grandmother is the person. She's one of those bitter widows, and she's often pushing us away, but still makes everyone feel super guilty for not making her the center of the world. Super stressful. My great-grandmother (her mom) died recently, so she's been a little more depressed and lonely. So we're all taking turns hang out with her.

Grandma Catherine meant a lot to all of us, but she's acting like she was the only one in the world that loved and missed her. It's so annoying.. I'm surprised I've made it a month with her in town so far.. But you need to always be proper and polite to family, even if you want to secretly set them on fire.

@kya:
Yes, thank you. I've got it under control now I think, though he's quite angry with me

@KidK Mirai:
Yes :( I hate it when people think that there way is the only way to be. It's also annoying when they can't respect other people and tell jokes that could be offensive. Don't worry though. One day they're going to tell a joke around the wrong person and that person will set them straight.

@The Real Nikki:
Eww. An attention seeker. I feel bad that she's lost so much, but at the same time she needs to move on and think about the people around here and they're feelings. I'm not sure how you'd deal with a problem such as that.

My niece. For a 6 year old she's a horrible child. She has no respect, or any boundries on her behaviour. Last week she slapped my boyfriend around the face, for no reason, and later, when she couldn't get her own way, repeatedly called us both fat and stupid.
She's by far the worst member of my small family, followed closely by my brothers girldfriend. While i don't consider her a part of my family we do have to put up with her sometimes. Horrible woman, who takes complete and utter advantage of my brother.

I don't have any particularly annoying family members, although, there is my grade 6 cousin who's starting to go through that pre-teen stage.
She was cute before, and she still is, but she's always asking me if I have a boyfriend, gossiping about her enemies at school, etc.
You know the drill.
D:

I don't really have any family members that are that annoying. I just get into fights with my mom and brother sometimes... I ain't close to most of my aunts/uncles/cousin because they aren't in Hawaii or the States. My cousin/calabash cousins that are here though are all guys and about 2-5 years older than me. So I don't really talk to them a lot... and my brother and I.... we go different schools, 2 year age apart, and different genders. LOL so not much to talk about.

@sun:
Ugh. She's already a brat and only six years old. What a shame.

@Destiny:
Lol, yeah, but she'll get over it one day.

@Plushie doll:
Hmm, me and my brother don't get along sometimes too.

Your cousin is what I like to call a classic preteen(aka normal)my siblings are all the exact same way.the way I deal with it, especially my brother who wants everything, is I try to be fair and diplomatic.I told my brother that once I got a Nintendo ds, he could have my gameboy.then when I got my DSi, my brother got my ds and his twin sister got the gameboy.it keeps going like that until we all have something and its fair.or, you say that he can borrow it but not have it, because you only just got it.and you tell your/his parents about this so that if he doesn't give it back, you have backup.I'm so used to this, being from a big family, and we don't have much money( ok we're completely dirt poor) so we have to share nearly everything.and I'm the oldest so I have to make the most sacrifices.but basically if you're smart about it and reason with the kid, usually you get results.you just have to make it sound appealing to a twelve. Year old.
Meanwhile, my most annoying family member is my dads mother.the woman is so ignorant, and so boring, she's hateful and nasty and I've wanted to punch her since I was eight, but I always have to behave because she disliked my mom and I from the start (I'm a step child.long story but I love my dad I don't think of him as a step father.) So in order to not reflect badly on my mom, I always had to behave.I'm an adult now, though, so I can act how I want, but I pretend to like her anyway because I was raised right and I'm a respectful person.*stupid manners...*

I thankfully don't have anyone super annoying in my immediate family. My aunt and uncle can be somewhat annoying when I occasionally see them just because they both like to talk, a lot, and tend to always cut each other off and what not. o.o Not to mention my uncle likes to talk about things I'm not interested in, like motorcycles and whatever he happens to be building or working on. I feel bad tuning him out but... he just can't hold my interest.

Gemini:
Hmm, I don't think I could handle being in a large family. Im happier talking to people online and that's about it. Otherwise I like being by myself.

Sho-Shonojo:
Meh. I don't like it when people talk to much. I tend to go and lock myself in my room when a lot of noisy people are around.

My Grandma and my Aunt treat my Mom like dirt and that annoys me a lot. >.> My Aunt's also not exactly nice to my cousins either. As much as I love my family, they're a little dysfunctional. And, ever since I mentioned to my Grandma that I would be taking college courses for some of my school requirements, she's always giving me college stuff. I mean, I know I'm supposed to be looking or something, but being fifteen, it's kind of stressful, since I've never taken a college course before and I'm INSANELY nervous about it. I know that I'll probably do well, but I'm just like... Really? I'm fifteen. I don't want to think about college, I just want to fangirl over the band I love. >w> And my Grandma's actually kind of cool until you start talking about family matters. She also loves to be the center of attention.

@CADFND:
So, your grandma treats your mom, which would be her OWN daughter like that? Asshole

Silver Foxx: Yep. She loves my Aunt though. >.> I swear I could smell the favoritism a mile away. My Aunt's just like her. My Grandpa's kind of cool, though, but he keeps talking about the end of the world and crises. >w>;

CADFND:
God. I freaking hate favoritism. I'm sorry you and your mom have to go through that it's annoying.

Silver Foxx: Thanks. We've both kind of written her off, since she shows no sign of change. It's annoying, sure, but we laugh about how ridiculous she is. :)

CADFND:
yeah, thats good i guess. I just wish she could get an attitude change ya' know? It kinda sucks

Silver Foxx: I know. If she did, that would be wonderful, but my parents might think she was drugged/got sick. When she's sick, she's considerably nicer... >w>

everyone in my family annoys me but my dad probably does it the most

he's just so overbearingly annoying with his temper and he acts so immature -_-
it's not like he can help it since he's been like this forever
he doesn't have the common courtesy of manners
plus whenever he gets angry nothing good EVER comes out of it and it's just so annoying asdfghg

CADFND:
That kind of sad that she's only nice when she's sick. Oh, and you don't have to ping me. I'm subscribed to the thread :p

@Bony:
Ehh...anger is bad. It makes even the best folks act like complete monsters.

@Silver Foxx: Me too. ^^; heh, sorry. It's just a habit of mine.
