Now, this isn't going to be easy. So I'm going to show you how to survive living with 12 people!
Keep To Your Self
Your sisters are excited to be living with your cousins, yay for them. You on the other hand aren't to excited because you know each and every single one of them, and how they act. One of your cousins might always be irritated, and your aunt might be a crazy psycho when it comes to cleaning. The only way to avoid these things is to keep to your self. When you get home put your shoes where they go and go into your room, or else there is going to be a problem. Don't worry about anyone else but yourself, don't go into other's business, and especially don't touch anyone's things. If you stick to this then you should be Ok, for a while.
Clean Up After Yourself
When twelve people are living in your house there IS going to be a big mess, most of the time. The sink will be filled with every dish you own, you will be missing clothes, (and then one day see your aunt wearing your favorite shirt), and your room will be a tornado. The only way to avoid this is to clean up after your self. When your done with a dish, wash it. When your room is a mess, clean it, and try to keep it that way. If you see someone's shirt in your closet, return it. It's not that hard, you just have to be organized and responsible.
Hide Your Stuff
Even though cleaned your room and everything is organized you might find something missing, and with three first and second graders that is definitively going to happen. If you have money I would suggest to keep it on you all the time, never leave it at home. If it's over 50 dollars i would have your mom or dad take it. It would be too much a risk to take it to school. If you find anything missing, look again and if you don't find it, look again, and if you still don't find it, look again. There might be a possibility that you didn't look right and if you don't find it after a couple times, then you have to investigate.
Now, when you investigate don't just scream, "Where's my money!!! Who took it!!", that will cause problems. Go to the little kids first because they will tell you right away, but if they don't, don't worry you still have a lot of people. When you investigate just act normal, and have a conversation with someone and then just gradually ask if they've seen it. If they hesitate then you just found your first suspect, but don't get to excited you have to investigate every single person. When you have some suspects ask them each again and trust me you will know who it is by the end of the day.
Control Your Temper
Yay!! You found out who had your money and it was your mom. She didn't want anyone to take it, so she took it. You're so embarrassed so you act in anger and scream and yell at your mom. So then your psycho aunt tells you to stop, but then you yell back at her, and it just turns ugly. This is what you shouldn't do. Don't yell, don't scream, and don't accidentally kick your aunt in the knee. When these times come, just say sorry and go into your room and fall asleep, it does help.
When You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say Don't Say it
After a couple of weeks, and after kicking you aunt there might be a lot of tension in the house. Whenever you see anyone you just want to slap them, I feel you, but you can't do that. No matter how much you want to tell someone something, (something that would be so inappropriate, that I can't show it here on the internet) just don't talk to them. Now there's no way to avoid them since you live with them, so just don't talk. When you see them watching there favorite show, which happens to be a show you hate, just walk away. That's all you have to do because if you say something that will cause more family drama, and you don't want that.
Remember these things because you don't know when you might have to live in a house with 12 people. I know I needed them.
