How do i get my cousin to stop treating me like im 5 years old?!?


Question: My cousin is 38 years old, and I'm 20 years old....I understand that the 18 year age difference between my cousin and I is a huge age difference. However, this is my junior year of college, and im taking on a lot more responsibilities....which proves that im no longer a child. How can i get my cousin to see me as an adult and not as a 5 year old child?
Answers: Ignore him.
Could you tell us how he's treating you that is making you feel young?

The best thing to do is to not acknowledge his opinion of you. Continue to act like the mature, responsible adult that you are and he'll catch on.
im only a teen so its ok if u dont listen to me,but i dont think u should try to prove to her u ARENT five, u should just try telling her you would like a litte independence and be treated like a responsible adult...what you really r!!
Is it a girl or boy?
either just ignore her/him or show that you can be serious. get him/her to find out some huge things you have accompished and try to show them you're no longer a little kid. if all fails just ignore them and show them that what they are doing is childish itself.
talk to him and eplain to him your concerns if not tell him to mind his business...
When your cousin starts in, tell them that sounds like a good idea and you're going to do that right away. Then do whatever you want, you can bet they do.
