Just make it increasingly uncomfortable for them - they'll get the message.   I've seen that happen (to me) and it didn't take long to figure out that I wasn't welcome... I moved on to greener pastures. \n\nYou might start by turning over a new leaf and changing a bunch of stuff around - then just keep on mentioning one more little thing...    \n\nLeave some apartment finder guides around the house too. \n\nCheers!

His parents sound pretty immature and pointlessly mean, if they weren't kidding around. It also sounds like he's picking up on their behavior and imitating it. But his parents' behavior is not as important as his, since he is the one who is your friend. You can confront him about it, if you choose, or you can decide whether his friendship is still valuable to you. Everyone has little things that will annoy us, whether it's friends or family, and you just have to decide whether hanging out with them is worth putting up with them. If his only bad trait is that he occasionally teases your brothers, you might just simply want to ask him to stop.

Right now, just don't take sides. Trust your boyfriend and try to keep your cousin out of your relationship. It doesn't matter who did or didn't. If you can keep them apart then do so. Tell your boyfriend that with the current situation, you don't feel comfortable with them being together. Make sure to tell him that you trust him. Don't make him feel like it's his fault or you may lose him.\n\n~Pancake

Sweetheart, that's a rotten way to live and millions do it everyday..if it is just a question of you liking quiet time in the morning (like me) then ignore the questions and comments and they will get the hint..\ngive off the right vibe and you'll get through. (picture yourself as a skunk or something unapproachable...nobody messes with THEM until they  wanna be messed with)\nIf it runs deeper than that, move out or make him move out, you have to feel safe and comfortable in your shelter or it's not shelter anymore.\nGood Luck

Talk to your parents, if he is really a bother they should do something about it.  If he's younger than you and just a "normal little brother" kind of annoying, try spending some time with him when you are free.  Play a game, take him somewhere fun.  Then maybe he'll respect you when you tell him to leave you alone.  If he's older than you and just won't leave you alone, try embarrassing him when his friends are around.  He'll learn to leave you alone.

Really difficult.......it sounds to me that he is fighting you all because it's easier than trying to get along for him right now.  I would sit him down and without getting angry just explain that there are going to be rules in your household from that moment on.  One of them being that no bad language is used.  I wouldn't give him random jobs to do but set a weekly agenda so he knows exactly what is expected of him.  Also have job lists for the other children.  Get them all to agree that they will complete there tasks, then he won't feel picked on the moment you ask him to do something.  You will just have to accept that his time spent in his other home is going to be his 'fun' time because his girlfriend etc is there.  Don't allow him to use this as a stick to beat you with.  The facts are he lives with YOU in YOUR house and must obey the house rules.  \n\nThe sitting in his room alone sounds a little worrying.  I think he wants people to come in to try and coax him out - it may be for attention or it may be that he just likes sitting on his own doing his own thing.  If there is someone in the house that he gets on the best with then send them into him occassionally to just chill with him for 5-10 minutes, stick your head around the door and just ask if he's OK.  \n\nHe is proably unhappy about his situation - every kid would prefer to be living with his real mom and dad.  He will get used to it but the more you fight with him the more you lose!  Set the rules and stick by them - not just for him but for everyone.  Good Luck.

Let him know of what behaviour you find annoying.  Go for a walk alone and/or take some time for just you.

both. he is emotionally abusive, and you don't need to put up with it.  find a friend or someone to stay with while you save money to get your own place. then if he changes, then keep your own place, and allow yourself to Maybe hang out at his place with him.  that way if he acts bad in any way you can leave and show him it's not a permitable activity

I think you need to tell him he needs to talk to his ex about coming up with a disciplinary plan. Discipline must be consistant at both of their homes. Kids will act the way they are allowed to. You definately can't ban them from coming to your house but you just need to make it known that they can't behave that way in your home.

You may be right about him having Territorial issues. Just remain respectful, and hope that you can move out soon...\nHe doesn't have to like you, but I know it would make you more comfortable. However, you DO have to be respectful to him, to honor your mother.

Tell him to STAY out the next time he leaves...  that way you can have a more stable life for yourself & your kids.

If he is your cousin and you know him then why are you asking for his phone number, or his email, and if he will come to your house, just so you can say on your next question  that he is coming over. Look i don't mean to be rude, but  you sound like a stalker, and i understand you might just be a kid, but the truth is even if someone on here knows anything about him they aren't going to  just give his info out on line. Think about what your asking before you ask. then maybe you ll see why people are being like they are in there responses to you.

Sounds like they both have mental problems.  Stay away from both of them before you are asked to share the bed they both probably share.

Get out while you can.  If he's already controlling and possessive -- it's only going to get worse.  Find yourself a better man!

Drop him like a lost cause.\n\nPeople make mistakes and are forgiven.  You made a mistake and apologized.  He forgave you and that should have been the end of it.\n\nI bet that he just used what you did with his cousin as an excuse for his behavior.  It likely was not planned out but he needed to blame it on you and could not accept responsibility for his own actions.\n\nDo away with him.

Tell him to get off his butt and support his family! If he is lazy, threaten to kick him out of the house. He's the man of the house, and he needs to pull his own weight more than anyone else.
