A 9 year old boy came from a different country to stay at our house along with his mom. At first, things went smoothly and he seemed like a good kid. Over time, he began bothering the heck out of me. He's unbelievably obnoxious and immature. I have a younger cousin the same age as him, but my cousin tends to act more respectful and mature. He has to be told over and over to behave. And if that doesn't work, I make a deal with him or be stern until he actually listens. A little kid makes life a great deal fustrating and hard. Sometimes, he says some of the most disrespectful things to an elder, such as, "What is your dream? You probably don't have a dream because you're so lazy." Look who's talking... I find it so annoying when he says to my dad, "My dad cooks better than you. I like my dad's cooking better." Well, personally, I prefer my dad's cooking than anyone else's anyday. I don't know what to do about it. There's so many things that bugs me about him. What would you do?

How old are you? SInce I don't know, I'm not sure exactly what to say.
This kids knows he is bothering you, so he is persistent. Also, his Mom probably knows how he is as well, but doesn't want to be bothered with him. The next time he says a put-down about your dad, tell him, "I wish your dad were here, too. I'd like to discuss your behavior with him. What's his phone number?".....then I'd call the dad!

His mother probably spoils him because she has not said anything to reprimand him.
I don't know which country he's from; so it's kind of hard because people of different ethnicity will think and act a bit strange to you.
Does his mother concern at all about his behavior, or you haven't said anything to his mom? You should talk to his mom; or better yet your parents should ask his mom to teach her son some manner.

This boy seems to know how to push your buttons. Often times the best way to handle this time of problem is to completely ignore them. kill them with kindness and realise that he must be making up for some inner insecurities.
