My cousin is coming for the summer.Please HELP?

SHe has grown a lot since then and hopefully yoiu have too. Start looking at this in a positive light. My cousin and I went through the same thing every summer. We couldn't stand each other. Then when we grew up she told me she was always jealous of me and that is why she was so mean to me. I reallly had not idea. She had me believing she hated me when all she really needed was more LOVE but I just didnt understand it at the time. You never know why people act the way they do. It is ALWAYS better to be sympathetic to them and be especially nice to them. That will usuallly do it every time. She will then start treating you different. They act like they want you to prove to them you can be their friend. That is OK too. If they want to believe they are in charge of the relationship that is fine. Two weeks is not really a lot of time out of your summer. Years from now you will laught at all these squabbles and wonder why you let then upset you so much. She is probablly dreading the trip more than you are. She is the one that is staying in a different house, with different people and will be subjected to different people and different surroundings. She will have is especially hard. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Just tell yourself "My cousin is coming and we are going to have a good time."
