tldr I'm fed up with Kevin's siblings...
so...Yesterday after work Tracy dropped Kevin and I off at his house, but I absolutely refused to go inside. I really have no interest in dealing with either of his siblings at the moment. Kevin apparently talked to Kenneth (well...yelled is probably a more accurate description, but I wasn't there so I wouldn't know). ALl I know is Kenneth stormed ( Read more... )

I think that you're dealing with it pretty well, but just don't let it get to you. You know that they're immature and that they have no reasons for treating you in such a way, so realise that it's useless and pay them no mind. Be civil, say hello but also tell Kevin that you'd like to have some time alone (aka, without them). I'm sure that he'd understand that, and if he's having alone time with you, I doubt that he'll want to tolerate them butting into it.
When they do say something rude to you, continue to talk to someone else as if nothing was said. People like that ENJOY the attention, and want to see you upset.
Innocent teens? Pfft, Ignorant Teens. That's all that there words are--words of the ignorant and shallow.
The BF speaks Canto? That's pretty hot. ;PPP

If it is okay, do that and this way Kevin can deal with them. I'm sure it's uncomfortable for you to be in this situation.
With her, don't even acknowledge her/look her way when she says something negative. If she says something neutral or nice, only then pay attention to her. She may complain about you, but what's your other option? Snap back? That seems like a worse alternative.
Anyway, I hope it all winds down and works out. I know how difficult it can to hold your tongue. ♥

ah. nevermind my last comment reply then.
anyway, here's how i see it. if you don't buddy up to them, you'll be annoyed. if you buddy up to them, you'll STILL be annoyed. either way, you lose. however, given that they already hate you and trying to smooth things over is not a high in priority at the moment, i suggest you make THEIR lives miserable. just for fun. it's what i would do if i were in your situation. at least, you'll get fear, and that in my estimation is better than waiting to see if they will miraculously start behaving like adults, which of course, would not happen in our lifetime.

as much as i'd fantasise about that, I know i'm not capable of being that evil
...nor do i want to stoop down to their level. it won't make me feel better, and it'd just make the situation worse.

but at the same time it's not worth my time or energy to screw with them either.
i don't really like fear as a form of control, anyways.

ONE OF THE SWEETEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET!It's not your responsibility to parent these kids, but it's a duty to yourself and Kevin (and your relationship) to stand up for yourself in a way that's true to you. You're not going to be able to win them with your kind sweetness, unfortunately. Neither of them ranks a "please" or "thank you" or any warning shots. Either of them moves to touch you when you don't want it or says anything you don't like, you say, "Stop". Don't say why, don't explain anything (because they don't care), don't do anything except say "Stop" and move locations. Step out of range of Grabby Kenneth. Give Terry "The Stare" and say "Stop", then ignore her. It'll be hard at first, but just having something you can do will help you ( ... )

aww... i'm really not all thaaat sweet XD (i can be a pain sometimes...but at least i'm for the most part civil to people? D:)
heh. i guess i should start trying to counteract stuff. ...though..my first thought was the next time someone gets to close to just like... jab them... if you're in my personal space you can expect me to get you a few times (heck, i've done it to kevin, and i've nothing against him XD)
...yes they do, and yes she does. her first complaint about me was that i didn't say Hi to her O_o' (well...that was her vocalised one anyways).
when i first meet people i'm really shy and if they don't say something first i probably won't say anything to them (like a hi or anything). It took me a couple of months to start saying hi to kevin's parents with any regularity (or without him prompting me ahha)
the thing is she's never really said anything directly to my face, only mutterings...or when i'm not around -.-'
she just ignores me for the most part.
haha, beastly. I like that term >:3

What do the parental units of his say?

you mean... about me? or about how they act?
they like me. his dad isn't home that much, so he doesn't see stuff.
kevin's mom tries to keep the peace between people but... eh... not so effective sometimes?
and they don't really see most of what goes on so... they don't really say anything unless the arguments gets really bad, or they actually see something.
