[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP doesn’t owe the cousin an invite. She’s free to spend her vacation as she sees fit.[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What am I missing? Why are posters ganging up on OP? This cousin expects that her meals, laundry and cleaning are going to be 100% handled by two women who have a zillion kids between them. What do you expect OP to do?[/quote]
It’s weird to me too. There is no obligation to have the cousin there. At least for me vacations are a time to unwind, not to get stressed.[/quote]

That's not entirely  true.as post pointed out op is very much the type to want to control everything. Her cousin didn't ask her to take care of her baby op just assumed she should do something instead of sitting her butt down someplace , dipping on some wine ( that she had to pour herself) and minding her own damn business[/quote]
Cousin is local. Why can’t she stay at her own place?[/quote]
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol. OP is asking for advice on one thing and people bring up perceived additional info as if it's true. Wild. [/quote]

It's the dcum classic -- rewriting the OP's posts to fit their own history & narrative.

Ah, never change DCUM![/quote]

OP is getting advice, it's just not what she wants to hear.[/quote]
Because your “advice” is ridiculous.[/quote]
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since she is local OP, I would be careful.

Would continue to invite, but what's the issue with just taking her clothes out of the hamper and throwing them in a pile, instead of washing them? Or letting her kid sit in dirty diapers, if she is not willing to change them?

It sounds like she is poor, and this is her only chance at some sort of "vacation" from her life. [/quote]

She's "poor," but "lives local" to the family beach house on the Cape?  Not totally impossible, but extremely, extremely unlikely.

Why are people falling all over themselves to manufacture excuses for the adult cousin?[/quote]
They see themselves in the cousin and it hits too close to the bone.[/quote]

It's hilarious to me that OP either starts sockpuppeting  or comes back with a post thanking her supporters  and explaining why her cousin is so awful anytime people question her or given anything other than approval.[/quote]

I’m a new poster to the thread and have read the entire thread. I am on team op. Why do you think “0P is obviously sock puppeting” rather than maybe there are others who agree with OP and disagree with your stance which is team Cousin? Are you unable to consider different views?

I think the original poster should speak with her cousin about the expectations in the house for that vacation. And then will be up to the Cousin to determine whether or not she agrees and wants to continue vacationing with the OP and BF or if she would prefer to stay at her own home

I do not own a beach house but I have been a guest. I always pull my weight. I also always try to treat my hosts to a night out at dinner as a thank you.[/quote]
