I can't stand my cousins! Help !!

Make a list of all the chores that need to be done. Leave it on the kitchen table. Be sure you do some of the chores too

When you say a few days I assume you mean maybe 3 to 5?

You can't deal for that long?

Whenever I am not looking forward to something, I'll think "In 24 hours (or whatever) all this will be in the past.

Think of the time you're wasting now stressing about it, and the time they'll actually be there. Then, when they're gone, so is all that time you could have been peaceful and content.

And there they are, your cousins renting space in your head, not even knowing right now you're thinking about this. That's kinda dumb.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

full stop

they are guests

deal with them doing nothing

they'll be gone soon enough

why should they like you? that's definitely not a requirement for relatives

shouldn't you like them?

geez

they don't like you and you can't stand them

<shrug>

be polite for a couple of days and then go on with your life

I can't stand people who have personal expectations, but sit around silently, judging people for not magically figuring out what those expectations are.

Very simply ask specifically what you need as you need it.

"Brunhilda, would you chop the carrots; Maise and Hagarha, please unload the dishwasher; Fstima, would you set the table? Thanks everybody!!"
