2 years ago, my cousin left for Finland for an apprenticeship. while gone, he sublet his apartment in NYC.

he got back from Finland in June, but the sublet in his apartment won't be out until September... in the meantime, he's been crashing in my parents guest room while trying to find a job in the city.

my parents don't mind, but they're super butthurt that my uncle hasn't thanked them for putting up his son for 3 months.

personally, I think they're being overly sensitive... why should my uncle thank them? :confused: they're not doing a favor for him, they're doing a favor for my cousin (because my uncle lives 2 hours outside of NYC... my parents are only 15 minutes out, which makes the job hunt a lot easier)

Your parents are right. The fact you don't see this . I am sure isn't your parents fault but the educational system . The brother showed kiss your dads arse for what they have done for his son.
