Cousin Coming Over ~ 4 YEARS!

[kuzkasate]

As the title says, my cousin is coming over 8th August from Russia to go to University I like him even though I havent seen him for about 7 years but anyway, hes 17 and hes coming over and staying with us!

I dont have anything against him its just that, hes going to be using MY ROOM, using MY STUFF thats not all... I have to help him pass his flaming IELTS test because his english isn't that good so I have to help him pass that and then hes going to uni! (even if he doesnt pass, he will keep on doing it until he does :@) I just cant handle that for 4 years! Its outrageous... me and my parents were thinking of re doing my room new wallpaper, new bed, new carpets and everything. I'm just so bloody annoyed! My mum has too cook more food, wash more clothes and the ironing etc and I know how tired she gets after doing that for her three kids (including me), my dad and herself obv. That obv costs money and we dont have alot of it. However my aunty and my uncle have PLENTY. They have already made my cousin a bank account with 1million roubles (not sure how much thats in pounds) and hes obv gonna spend it pretty quick. My aunty/uncle wont even give my parents some money for like all they did because they had to find out about the uni, get him application, apply for summer school, find out about that IELTS test and loads more. NVM that I but we have to feed him for 4 years and do the rest as I said above. They could atleast send my parents some money, I would understand if they didnt have the money but they do! Last month they bought some massive house that cost ALOT and did the design and stuff which costs even more, to hire staff etc. Not only that but they bought 2 new cars both new (1-2 years old not sure but its new!)

They also want to get a swimming pool and stuff like that! Im like fgs! Arent you happy with what you've got?! A house with 3 floors, big rooms really comfy and beautiful, 2 new cars thats all I would need! But no! They want more the greedy ******* and my mum and dad had to pay out of their pockets for the uni and stuff even though my dad was saving up for a new car... and we have to go meet him in london and take him to manchester and we even have to pay for the train tickets.

Im just so angry! I'll have no privacy, no fun. Its gonna be miserable, surely you understand me?

Sorry for any typos I was just typing furiously! :@

I agree with you here. Its pretty selfish that your aunty/uncle have sent him over to you with out anything to thank/help you.

Family are family, you help them out they will help you out. yes it may seem a bit unfair at the moment although maybe in a few years you will do the same thing, thats what family are for, helping each other.

Yh thats what I'm thinking and they didnt even say thanks!

I think this will effect my education tbh because he will be asking me for help and apparently "I am his only hope to help him"

He's also used to "1st class" stuff. Well he aint gonna get any first class here. :@

But they never did help us... when my dad had serious problems and needed an operation we rang up and asked to borrow some money. "Sorry I cant" was their reply... even though they have several businesses? And clearly they do have money.... and alot of it they dont deny it they are just greedy

Teach him the wrong things

1,000,000 Rubles is around £20,000 I believe which is a hell of a lot for Uni unless its for his fees etc. Its true that family should help each other out, so why arent they helping his family out with their financial need?

You can't choose family! How is it going to be miserable if you haven't seen him for 7 years? He could be a lot of fun and you won't know until he comes. Your parents are pushovers if they are not asking for financial support, sorry for being blunt though. They could easily afford accomodation elsewhere by the sounds of things but are using the goodwill of your parents to get out of paying for it (that's how the rich stay rich I suppose!). Tell your mum that she should ask for money from them and if she refuses out of principle or 'they're family, we can't do that', you're just going to have to face it!

As for "My mum has too cook more food, wash more clothes and the ironing etc and I know how tired she gets after doing that for her three kids (including me), my dad and herself obv." you can do some extra chores around the house if you're concerned for her tiredness. My sister is 12 and we all cook our own tea, we do the washing and our mum does the ironing cause I burn the clothes lol. Easy.

I do help her out, I try as hard as I can but I have plenty of homeworks and stuff to do and she usually does all that in the night when I'm sleeping. Sometimes I offer help she reffuses

Dont you think thats hell of a lot?

Oh yh, forgot to mention. In a year, he will be spending £3000 on travel. £3000x4= £12,000 for the time he will be here and it could be more if he doesnt pass his ELTS straight away. JUST ON TRAVEL! Wouldnt it be easier to buy a car for him?

[Jordan:A]

If I was your mom/dad I would say "Fine then, you dont pay anything towards him, he dont eat our food, user our elecrticity/gas, he payes for his own food and needs etc"
And ive had my sister living here for like 5 months shes took over my room so i know how you feel, I hardly see my room anymore and she treats it like a poo hole
