Telling your family you're on unemployment, and not telling them when you find a job, is uncool if 1)they worry about you 2)would help you out when your finances are depleted by inviting you to live in their home or helping you out financially.

In my family 1 & 2 would apply.
Twice since 2009 when I started a job and made it the 91st day either the company "closed down" due to lack of funding.
So I wanted to wait a while before revealing i was working. I had to tell them in another month anyway because I'm moving. If i wasn't moving i would have waited a year
Sometimes jealousy makes family members not want to tell other family members things that are going on in their lives. If times are good, then others might feel resentful and show it either verbally by yapping about "how much money, things, etc you have" Others, like my one sister in law, will not give a compliment for anything at ALL. If she says anything at all, it is to find a flaw in whatever she is jealous about. The last time she found a flaw, was to make a VERY nasty, sarcastic comment about the location of our newly built house instead of saying even ONE nice word about about the house. Needless to say, I was pissed!
If times are bad, family members don't want to share their business because they
1) don't want sympathy because they feel inferior
2) are embarrassed
3) they are personally trying to ignore the nasty things going on in their lives. (read that: bury their heads in the sand and hope things get better on their own)
I m sorry, but if you are over 30 years old....why are you bickering about anything w/ a cousin. This seems very childish of both of you.
I sent the wrong text to my mom about my office and she forwarded to my cousin to show her I was employed. Then my cousin sends me a message on FB saying......"Why didn't you tell us you were working? A little silly don't you think?"
Which made me say........."Is she really saying this when I don't even know where she works right now
