A lot of "rich" people who live the way this guys parents seem to won't be leaving their children much because they aren't saving enough to do so. I can't really judge based on the information given but I highly doubt someone who is willing to buy their fully grown child who doesn't do anything to deserve it a 4 bed 3 bath house has much of a savings account.

Yep. I'd have laid him out by now. Good luck coping with him mate.

I knew a guy kinda like that in my neighborhood growing up. His parents had money, but they were never around. He acted like he was the coolest guy on the planet, yet he called me constantly. Turns out he didn't have any friends because nobody could stand him, but he would never admit it. He was annoying, but I felt sorry for him in a way.

I didn't know anyone could be so ungrateful.........

Wow I just need to step back and shake my head. You need to talk to his parents or someone does.

I would, but I'm not exactly decision maker in my household.
Whenever he is around my dad he acts just fine

I don't know exactly why he came up here in the first place. Maybe he just thought "I'm bored, how about I go to Alaska and terrorize my cousin." Who knows how someone like that's mind works.

You need to pull some pranks on him, make him look/feel stupid. Get revenge, if you want to call it that.

Well, I've found that the best way to deal with these people is to pressure them into a bit of introspection.

Usually the best way to do that is to subject them to the elements for a time, whether figuratively or literally speaking.

Good luck with that. They're never around. I haven't talked to them since I first met them when I was 7. My understanding is that he just asks for money and they give it to him.
I wouldn't want to talk to them anyway. My dad (his mom's brother) once asked them for money (not a whole lot) so he could help pay off some of his loans and stop having to take one out every two weeks to pay for another loan. They acted like it was a bank loan, complete with payment plans and interest.

Not exactly people I want to meet.

One question: Why?

And they bought a freeloader a house......

If they don't help you as a family, why the hell should you babysit there irresponsible son?

Your dad and you are getting walked on. Kick his ass out, and make them pay for the ticket.

Seriously. It's not like they have any leverage over you and your dad anyway... or do they?

He's family so you have to love him!

Kill him and tell your father he went for a nice long walk..

I don't think that applies to cousins.

Have the girls sue him for sixual harassment, and that'll get rid of his money, then he'll be down a peg...or in jail

Or just kick him in the balls

As far as I know, you can't sue for sixual harassment unless it's in the workplace.

You can only prosecute for sixual assault under criminal law (as opposed to civil).

I don't have any experience with those type of people, but your story reminded me of Tommy Boy.

i'd recommend making sure he understands what it's like to be not so well off

for starters, if you go to a restaurant again, make sure the employees know not to let him leave without paying for his bill

As it's rather after the fact this is something of a moot point, but your best course of action would have been at the time to stand up for those girls, take your cousin aside for a second and give him the verbal dressing down of a life time, implying among other things common courtesy and respect towards women, the basic mannerisms involved in being a guest of someone else, the excruciatingly painful consequences of not complying with the afore mentioned as well as your dad telling his dad what an utter asshat his kid is, and maybe that'll cost him his shiny car.

Either that or you deck him sooo hard that he still feels it when he's 35.

On what do you base this claim? Are you familiar enough with bodybuilding to see the difference between natural growth and that of someone who's juicing? Are you familiar with how much he's worked out in the past? Or is it just the classical mentality of "he's got a great body and I don't, but it's okay since he probably cheated to get it" just like that of the fox in The Fox and the Graqes?

Are you referring to cognitive dissonance? I seem to remember something of the sort.

I'm sure you can, it would be defined as sixual assault opposed to harassment though IIRC.
So yeah I meant sixual assault not harassment

To me, although distasteful, I don't think the guy deserves a criminal record for something like that.

Yes. As long as I've understood the term correctly. I wasn't familiar with the term itself until recently, but was familiar with the concept. And here's the story for those who do not know of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_and_the_Graqes

And that's why you should never let extended family stay at your house. Their always such a bother.
Personally, I don't see what's wrong with that. Although I personally wouldn't require interest payments of a family member, setting things out formally in that fashion helps to ensure you'll actually be paid back by the borrower. Proper documentation also ensure that you have something more concrete than an oral contract should you enter into a legal dispute over the loan. (the mere existence of an oral contract is very hard to prove in court, much less its terms and conditions) I don't see why acting "like it was a bank loan" should constitute an impingement of their character when it's a completely sound financial practice on their part. Their not under any obligation to give your father a loan anyway, they could have just as easily taken my approach to such matters and refused out of hand.

I probably could get my parents to buy everything for me (my mum definitely tries to do that) but I've been stubbornly refusing financial help since I turned 18

I'm completely broke right now of course like most uni students but I've got a job to go to when my summer break starts and I've got a roof over my head so I'm not complaining.
