So, yesterday I came from my aunt's house. She's kind of poor, sadly, but that's okay.
What's not okay is that their house is crumbling, and they get very little money from welfare, enough to just subsist, yet they're ultra-fanatical voters of the current government.
It's incredible how much a few bucks have come to indoctrinating them, it's like a cult.
They give them some "love" just so they vote for them, but they don't really help them improve their quality of life: they still live in almost squalor, with rooms barely big enough to stand in, and the bathroom is crumbling.
Another thing they don't do is fix their house. They just don't care.
Thing is, we came to my woman cousin's sweet 15 party. She didn't even want one at the beginning of the year, but a few of her friends did one and she decided she'd follow the bandwagon. She's very influentiable, and I don't like it!
There's also the fact that her mother brainwashed her into not even recognizing her grandmother (which would be the sister of my grandfather – yes, my aunt and uncle are cousins!) during the party, even if she was standing right there.
Thing is, she also glorifies my sister, which smokes and drinks and smokes weed, which is also not good. I don't see a bright future for this girl!!!
And then there's my other woman-cousin. She's all day around fucking and standing right next to her boyfriend, which is 16 and smokes (occasionally, admittedly) and drinks while barely studying.
And it's incredible, but most of the party, my 15-year-old woman-cousin's friends were at the front smoking like fuckers. Constantly. And they're 15-16 years old too. They're bad influences!!
Then there's my man-cousin, who barely speaks and could be said to be a nerd, as he rejects sports and spends most of his day on the computer (not that there's anything wrong with it, as I also do so, but life requires balance). He watches youtubers! Like PewDiePie and those people who play minecraft for him. I fear for his grades, and I fear for his health.
Now, with my people we came to help organize the party and so, but it is really annoying that, while we came to help, for free, my cousins decided to not do shit and not help. I had to force my man-cousin to help me inflate balloons! And the eldest woman-cousin came, went with us to get some breakfast (ice-cream) and then went directly back to her home! Not even making as if she had helped a little bit! She came and took our money (in the ice cream) and went with her boyfriend to fuck yet again!
And my aunt is pregnant! again! Of course, it makes sense since the welfare is per children, but it still won't be enough to see her to adulthood (it's a she) without my uncle working more. And work isn't really plentiful around there! And it's the fifth fucking children she has!!! FIVE!!!
Thankfully, they live so far away that I can live the rest of my life without seeing them again – except for the dreaded Christmas time…

This is really sad. Do you keep strong ties with your cousins and your extended family in general? Do you have any brothers and sisters? How old is your aunt?

>>3No, not really. Once or twice per year I see them.
They live very far away.
I do have a sister, but she's living alone. My aunt is ~30ish, I'm not sure.
