Today, I found out my mom is signing me up for summer school, while she and my sister go to Hong Kong for the summer. Not only am I missing out on that, but I'm also missing out on a cruise with my cousin, who my parents suggest I stop hanging out with because apparently, he's "too old" for me. FML

OP here, and it seems like I didn't mention I'm a guy. Before you ask, no I'm not gay.

That almost makes it sound like they think you're trying to date him. Very odd.

Well the comment with your cousin sounds a little weird, it does seem like they think you're trying to date each other. If you get along and enjoy each other's company, there's no reason you can't hang out, age shouldn't matter here. However, the rest of it depends on if you really need summer school or not. If you did bad in your classes and need to improve, ydi, and you should be missing travelling in favour of schooling. If did fine though, then it sucks you got signed up for it, and you should talk to your mom about not going.

It's official. You're, quite literally, a son of a bitch.

I think we need more info. Do you have bad grades? Is hanging with your cousin leading you to possibly bad situations like underage drinking? I don't think this is the end of it. If you're in summer school, you probably earned it. Unless this is some sort of "get ahead early" or whatever.

We play video games and talk about memes with each other. I'm getting mostly A's and some B's in school.

Then your situation sucks and I'm sorry.

Hey you study hard, get good money, go to vacations on your own budget, and sign your mother up for sewing school while you are at it.

if you failed classes then you don't deserve fun stuff. if not maybe your mom doesn't like you. well at least you'll have the house to yourself??

apparently, she is your stepmother

Relatives can be "Too old" for you ? I guess i should stop seeing my grandma then. She's definitely too old for me.

If an older (by just a couple of years or so) cousin is a bad influence on a minor, yes a relative can be too old to spend time with. Outside of family functions anyway.
