I (15M) and my younger cousin (12M) weren’t close for a long time, until earlier this year when his family decided to move to Sweden, that’s when he decided to start hanging out with me, for some context he’s the type of kid that wants to be better than everyone else, for example i bought a meta quest 2 in April of this year, a few weeks later he gets a meta quest 3s from his dad.
I wanted be the nice older cousin towards him and I linked my PlayStation account to his Ps5, fast forward to November this year I decided that I want to unlink my account, being a dumbass I didn’t know how to, so I just changed my password and put a code on my ps5. Now a week ago he texts me if I can give him my password so that he can play hollow knight, I told him no and he became quiet and started crying, the kind of crying that seems real but you can tell it’s fake, two days ago he calls me and asks if I can give him the code, I asked him why and he responds with “well I mean since you are away for the holidays why don’t I put some playtime on your account” I tell him no but he keeps on pressuring me to give him the code, I got mad and called him a shithead and told him that I will give him the code when he’s at my funeral, he starts crying and hangs up, now half of my family members from my dads side are mad at me, although my parents called me a badass for calling him a shithead I still kinda fell bad for the guy, I’m still not gonna give him my passcode though. Am I the asshole?
NTA. He can get his own account.
Ehhh maybe dont cus the kid out man, you are good on not giving the kid your shit that’s fine, just dont cus him out. Nta
NTA
it’s your account! you don’t have to give to anyone. but remember to keep in mind that 12 year olds are a lot less mature than 15 year olds, maybe help him find something else to do?
>fast forward to November this year I decided that I want to unlink my account
INFO Why did you suddenly decide you wanted to unlink the account?
(I wouldn’t have linked it in the first place but I feel that why you then wanted to unlink it is important context)
My reason mostly being that during the summer I was in a different country and played on my ps4 and he would play on my account at the same time making my games close, even though he could play on a different account
That’s a very good reason, understandable. NTA – he’s a 12 year old sooking to get his way
Agreed, NTA. Cousin had a good thing and he took it too far.
ESH. Your cousin has moved to a new country where he likely knows few people. Children show off a little to impress people to try and befriend them. Maybe try again with him but set down some rules.
Also, *if* your parents called you a ‘badass’ for calling a 12 year old a shithead, that is pretty piss poor parenting.
I don’t get PlayStation so sorry if I’m wrong. Sharing account passwords is against the rules of most com8. I share a sports account with a mate and we haven’t had a problem yet – but if we did I’d say to him to stop, which he would, or I’d change my password.
If there’s no coat to you, what’s the problem, if there is explain it to him?
Imma say NTA just from the title, brb after I read the whole thing
Alt I’m back, still not the ah for refusing to give him the password (if anything, he’s an ah for pestering you about it) but sorta ah for cursing him out, try to be nicer to your younger relatives, even if he’s annoying, he’s still a 12 year old kid, those can be quite sensitive
