I don't know whether my behavior is warranted or not.

I'm 17 years old. I come to my Grandma's house every summer, for about three weeks.

Next door to my Grandma, lives this "family".
I say "family" like that, because they are a bit broken. The mom is almost never there, so the two daughters are basically left to their own vices, a lot.
Therefore, my Grandma has been stepping in to help them for most of their lives. Taking them on shopping trips.

They are 14, and 11. They are nice kids. My Grandma tells me to be nice to them, but Sometimes, I get a little annoyed, because when I come to my Grandma's, they come to the house everyday, and come everywhere with us. Basically, they consider themselves a part of the family. They call her Grandma as well, and tell everyone that she is their grandmother, and that we are cousins.

I have family problems too. I need my grandmother sometimes too. And yes, admittedly, I'm not a very nice person. I COULD be a bit friendlier.

My Grandma lives where she lives year round, so why do they need to bug her when I am here?

Sometimes, I just want them to leave us alone. I know they need love and attention, but they seem to forget that my grandma has a family of her own as well.

Can you say this to your gran? Then maybe she'll tell them to stay away for the few days that you're there.

it seems like your grandma is doing a nice, unselfish thing by making these neglected children a part of her family. she's showing them love and attention that they aren't getting at home. however, i do understand you wanting to spend some time with her alone. no one is going to know that though until you decide to speak up. let your grandmother know that you would appreciate it if you could spend a day or two with just her and then the next time the neighbors come over, she could tell them that the next day is a day for her and her grandchild and that she'll see them at another time.

She's aware of how I feel, but I guess she's torn. I guess they assume that because they hang out with my grandma all year long, it shouldn't stop when I come around.

Yeah, okay. :)

I hate how she makes me feel bad though =/ Like I said, I could be a little nicer, but I'm 17! I'm not going to play with them.

Even though you're more than likely jelous you do have a point.  I wouldn't want someone to be hogging a family member of mine.

Everyone's already said this but talk to your grandmother..hopefully she'll understand

Well I know everyone else has said this, but I agree you need to spend time alone with her, and maybe you can talk to her about it.
