Parth rant - Terrible house guests

Been a while...

So my cousin and his family stayed at my house to attend a nearby baby shower. 7 people, my cousin, his wife, his in-laws, his mother and his twin children (aged less than 2 years).

I was initially unenthusiastic about their arrival. Hosting 7 people is a lot and my cousin...for lack of a better word, is an ignorant and stubborn person who is also definitely sexist and a dick.

The second they arrive at my house, the boy (they are fraternal twins) starts crying when he sees my face. Annoying but understandable, I'm a stranger. We all go to sleep cause they arrived super late (later than our estimate and we were not told when they would be arriving and they did not pick up our calls).

The next morning, I am woken up at 8 by the screaming/crying of the boy. Idk why, but he likes doing that. I force myself back to sleep and get up at 10. I go outside. The second I set foot outside the boy starts crying again. At that point I basically exiled myself to my room. Regardless of how much me or my sister tried to get to know the kids, they kept forgetting who we were and started crying. Their family did nothing to reassure them, only laughed at the spectacle.

I missed most of their shenanigans but...I started noticing stuff...they would feed the kids our apples. That's fine, the apples are out for all...but they would only use half the apple and throw them away. Wasteful that was...but to add insult to injury, they would feed the kids rice with kadhi (a thick chickpea based gravy) on my sofa. In fact, they all seemed to be eating on my sofa. My carpet which I vacuumed before their arrival is now dirty, full of food debris as are my sofas...the Indian in me, at this point, was like, who the fuck do these people think they are? Does the sofa belong to their father?

Not just that, we gave the twins toys to play with. The girl (the only one I like from their family) played by herself quietly, barely cried. The crybaby of a boy was hitting my recently painted walls with his toy while his grandmother did nothing to stop him other than laughing (understand that doing nothing and laughing is all these people did to control their kids). The boy also 1. Kept pushing a chair back and forth, damaging the tiles of the floor and the chair, 2. Scratching the nice leather sofas.

Leaving the kids out of, I turn towards the wife...she was an absolute glutton and a liar to boot. She ate everything...and then would continue to eat after it was over. She would pester us and my cousin towards eating just to fill herself up. She did none of the work. Her mother and my mother did everything. When they were returning to our house after the baby shower, we didn't know about their dinner plans. So we went ahead and prepared for the 7 of them. She gets home and tells us they'll be eating dinner elsewhere and asks if we prepared something. We say yeh, but no prob, you do you. She changes her mind and tells us they'll eat some here and eat some at the other place (travel time would be less than an hour...not enough time to digest) we then make dinner, she eats her fill and starts making the rest of them get ready to go. At the end we find out she lied to us about the other dinner. Why the fuck would you lie about that!?!?!? I thought her kids looked a little thin, she's probably eating their share. On side note, they give their kids organic milk which is no different from regular milk. They are wasting money for no good reason. She lied to our face so much over these two days. Told us the kids never cry. Not 15 mins would go by without the kids crying.

And lastly my cousin. He's a bit sexist asshole. He told my sister who graduated college (he dropped out of highschool) and who is currently working to get hours to apply to PA school, that she shouldn't work so hard cause in the end she's gonna end up at home, raising kids, cooking, and taking care of in-laws rather than working. Fuck that shit, fuck that way of thinking. Your own wife is too lazy to do that, who the fuck does he think he is telling my sister that. My sister was watching the ICC world cup and he starts telling her some bullshit about how it's all fake and scripted. Everyone makes runs, not just India. What the f*** does any of that mean? He told my sister she knows nothing..

One morning my sister took his wife out to one of the clothes store that was having a sale. Upon returning all tired and stuff, he gets her to take them out again to get Father's day gifts for my dad. This dumbass bought 3 shirts all for my dad. One that he wanted, one his wife wanted, and one his son would not let go of... As they were returning, he tells my sister let's go watch Godzilla. My Sister is tired at this point so she refuses. He starts telling her that we (me and my sister) need to go outside more... He then suggests that they drive 30 minutes to my other cousin's custard restaurant...it would be an hour trip back and forth...my sister says no again...on their way back, my sister tells him to get in the right lane as my house is on the right. He was on the left lane of a highway in front of my dad's store when he hits the brakes, and asks my sister what she said. My sister shouts at him to keep drive cause only an idiot would stop in the middle of the highway on the left lane (the speed lane) he laughs at her and belittles her concern saying he knows how to drive and that she doesn't know...ofc my sister fucking knows how to drive. He's the dumbass not moving on a highway.

Him and his wife kept talking about my sister's future, like marriage and having children. My sister had to beg them to stop talking about it. They keep excluding my other female cousins as they're related on their mother's side as opposed to their father's side (some backward batshit crazy logic)

He took his kids to my dad's store. While there, he actively encouraged them to run around the aisles...they could have fallen and hurt themselves, but he'd rather play around at my dad's embarrassment. He took 20 mins to persuade his son to get into the car...dude, just pick him up and strap him in. He kept asking my entire family how hard it is to run a gas station. my answer was pretty fucking hard man. God I hope he doesn't move down here and start one, guaranteed he'd go out of business fast.

God awful parents, an entire family uninterested in controlling and raising their kids properly, disrespectful of my family's property, disrespectful of my sister, and basically eating us out of house and home.

I literally can't say anything more of the bullshit I had to go through in the last 2 days. He will never be welcomed to my house, relationships be damned.

Spoiler: ok, some serious dark stuff

all this reminded me of another cousin of mine...he died about 2-3 years ago. he was this jackass's brother...I liked him...he was similar to me. We both watched anime. He preferred Seinfeld while I liked friends. which reminds me, I need to watch seinfeld...anyways, we never did find out the reason behind his death. he was only 25 at the time...I learned recently, that the jackass would taunt him for not having a job and not providing for the family. Lots of abuse like that to the point his dad forbade him from ever being alone with my cousin...my extended family is mostly scummy. my deceased cousin was the only one I liked other than my parents and my sister and maternal grandparents...sigh...all of this made me miss him a lot...all the good ones have left me...wish I had gotten to spend more time with him...or talked to him regularly. Maybe I could have helped :/

edit: originally wrote this on my phone, so many typos.
edit 2: funny story time. my cousin bought a cow for a guy who works for my grandfather. he told him not to inform my grandfather as he would get mad. in exchange, the man was to bring milk daily for my cousin's twins while they were in india. My grandfather has been buying milk daily for the last 6 months, not knowing about the existence of this cow and this milk deal. He informed my grandfather yesterday on father's day...I can imagine the anger my grandfather must have felt once he realized he's been wasting his own money on milk when he could have been getting it for free this whole time.
