Well, I don't know how tihngs work in your neck of the woods, but most people I know don't live with their cousins, so you could try telling him to go home.

Ah. Well, as I'm sure this forum would frown on me suggesting physical violence and manacles, I'm out of suggestions.

I know the feeling...
I have three younger siblings.

Your best bet...
Ignore the little bugger. It's not any fun to mess with a person if they don't react.
And have you ever tried complaining to an adult? I know it sounds childish, but sometimes it works.
Also maybe you should get a lock on your bedroom door.
Or wait until the little fart is asleep and then do your own thing.

ummmm boo-hoo?

No really ... you said you lock your door, done. Problem solved.

He cries? Not your problem. Inform your parents or the parents of your cousin that it's your room and you'd like your privacy and that you'd like your cousin to leave you alone as he annoys you.

Plain and simple. Stand up for your basic rights.

Do you live with him and his parents (your aunt and uncle of course) or does his family live with your's?

If it's the first one, you're SOL.
If it's the second one, it's your house, it's time to put your foot down and *MAKE* him stop. Whether he cries 'til he pukes, you have to lock him out, or beat him a bit, you have to make him stop.

If it's their house, their rules and you're just living there...you're screwed.

How old are you, and how old is he?

Amen! I had a little brother once that wanted to do everything that I did...and, yes, there was the occasional bout of violence involved..but, now that I am grown, I know that type of thing doesn't work.

Like said above: LOCK THE DOOR...let the little bugger bawl

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-?
Well I could say :twisted: never mind..LOL
If HE lives with YOUR parents and he is bugging you pick him up set him outside your room and BARRICADE THE DOOR. :grin:
Hay it works for me when my lil cuz was here at my house.
I almost made him sleep outside when he BROKE MY IRONHIDE.
Basicly my mom said no to him about something and he decided to brake something of mine.He took Ironhide and took him outside and threw him down onto the rode (Luckily I live on a dead end street).You can guess what happend next..Ironhide shatterd. :sad:
So basicly I know how you feel.Just tell your cousin stop..or put him out side your room and lock the door.

Just tell the little **** to get outta your face. If that doesn't work, just like, lock him outta the house or something.

Surely you must realize that while it may not be common some people actully DO live with their cousins.

I use to live in my aunt and uncle's house with my parrents, my brother, and our cousin after we got kicked out of our house for "a couple weeks to put in new carpeting" according to our land lord at the time. The house was burned down a week later BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT as a controlled training fire for the new recruits. Then they paved over the lot and turned it into a parking lot.

My other cousin from my dad's side of the family allso just moved out of my house a couple weeks ago after living here for 2 years.

So I've lived with two of my cousins from different sides of the family at different times.

Now back to the OP, how old is your cousin? I'm guessing a verry young child of about 5-8 by the way you descibe him/her but not entirly sure.

As much as this is a shock to me and probly to Burn as well when he reads this, I actully agree with Burn.

Unless of course you actully SHARE a room with your cousin in which case he has as much right to be in there as you do but if it's YOUR room and not his I don't care who's house you're liveing in you have the right to lock him out if you don't want him in your room.

Any shared spaces you can't do anything about him there. A shared space is just that. You have no right to lock him out if it's shared so no locking him out of the house.

Buy him (or give him) a couple Transformers, play with him, and while you are at it teach him how you expect to be treated with respect. Usually a heart to heart talk after a good repoire has been established will work better than arguing, whining, complaining, or locking him out of the room.

If you look at what is motivating him, it is attention-seeing behavior. Fulfill his need and the behavior will decrease.

I hate small children.


My little cousin tried to take my old train set from me.


Needless to say she went home soaked.

I'm a teen so I can say this I HATE SMALL CHILDREN! here's some help...light them on fire
or use BIG BIG WORDS they may not even be related to the subject but little children HATE big words and don't know what they mean! Or you dress up all in black wear super black make up around them and they'll crap thier lil pants (it works unless they're used to you looking that way). Or you can lock them outside to fend for themselves against your huge ass dogs that would eat someone :twisted: ...ah the fun you can have torturing your little cousin...also I don't let my cousin in my room I just say there's nothing in there and if he asks "but I've been in there before and there was *something in there*" you say "no there isn't anymore" or "you're fricken nuts" or my favorite "I'm right and you're wrong and no matter how wrong I am I'm always right!"or "what in there...you may have seen it in there but there isn't anymore even if you see something in there now it's gone! It's fricken gone!" sayy it in a condesending manner they'll love that :lol:

Then lock your transformers up in a case, or somewhere he can't damage them.


Just because it's 'his' house, doesn't mean your his slave.

Tickle him until he falls asleep or pass out.

Then you can play with your Transformers.

Otherwise, share them with him.

Sounds like you've got it **** mate.


Complain until they do something, or inform social services that he's being neglected.



It's a bit extreme, but if they refuse to pay attention to him, things need to be done.



Or you can ignore what I've just said. Your choice.
