One of my cousins used to just love to pick on me. He would say things to me like, Does your face hurt? Cause it's killing me. He is of course nice to my now that we are all grown up, but I never forgot some of the ways he used to tease me. Did you have a cousin like that or more than one?

Yes I had cousins exactly like that growing up. I remember one
day I was sitting in the kitchen helping my aunt make a cake. My aunt had left out for a second and I started pouring the batter into the cake pan. There was some left over. I sat the bowl down and he came and dug his hand in the bowl and smashed it all in my face. I was so mad. I cried. This wasnt the first time he did this to me and definitely wasnt the last.

In have never met my cousins. But I had seen the cousins of my parents. I only so in them a sense of criticism and contradicting every action. They had always superiority complex

I had several cousins from one family who I had trouble with all through school. One in particular use to say horrible things about me behind my back. The most cruel thing they did to me was physically assault me; it stills haunts me to this day. They too are nice to me now but some cruelties committed against you as a child by other children follow you forever.

Don't remember ever having any cousin actually pick on me. On my mother's side of the house, I was the oldest cousin, so no one dared pick on me. On second thought, when I was a teenager, there was a two year old cousin who gave me a hard time. On my father's side of the family, I was exactly in the middle of the whole troup. The older cousins thought I was too young to even talk to. They ignored me. The younger cousins thought they were too good to play with me. I was a farm girl and they were city kids. They ignored me, too.

Well, I have the same cousin as you! I really don't remember him being mean to me though. I do remember he was quite a brat and always acting silly. I'm not sure he has changed much in that regard :) Other than that, I can't think of any cousins that teased me.

No my cousin & I always got along pretty well. We were actually closer then my 2 sisters, brother & I. They were the ones who would tease me or talk about me behind my back. Till this day I still can't fully trust any of them.

I am sorry to hear that about your brother and sisters. I did mean things to my little sister too, but not too mean, just the normal stuff. But once I hit a certain age and became more mature I didn't do that any more. We are now very close. My brother picked on me a bit too, but not too bad, I think picking on siblings is normal to a point. I do know that some siblings behavior towards each other is down right abusive. One of my husband's sisters still can't forgive her older brother (not my husband) for the horrible way he used to treat her. He still is mean to her sometimes and he will be turning 50 this year and she is 46. Unfortunately now she will only show up to family functions if it is something really special or she knows he won't be there. It is very sad in my opinion. I really hope some day they can work things out but I don't think they ever will.

Little boys sometimes are mean to little girls, but I think that we, women, can be meaner as words go than boys. They are stronger and can harm us some if grownups are not watching. But girls are bitc*hier than boys

Oh yes I do :x
I remember my cousin who is 8 years younger than me.
He used to irritate me when my friends/classmates come to our house.
He use to tell my friends that our grandma scold me due to my laziness duh!
I am not lazy, I just don't like helping in the kitchen.
Our grandma wants me to take a look and learn how to cook-which I do not like before (not my forte)
I prefer to clean the house and do gardening than cooking (before- now I love to cook)
And my cousin loves it when I am red all over (blushing of shame hehehe)
and I want to smack him down (grrrr)
