How do I deal with living in someone else's house?

Later this year, I will be migrating to another country. Since I've no house and money yet, I will temporarily live with my uncle's family in their house. Now I would like to ask you what I should do to not make myself a burden to them. What should I do and how should I behave? Their family and I aren't so close. The only reason I'm staying there is because they're my only relatives there and there's nowhere else to go to.

There are unspoken rules and just as many, if not, as there are in writing. I always tell my kids that just because they are not written that doesn't mean there are no rules at home. And these are the things they have to adhere to, to make everyone happy, comfortable and the house a home. These are the 'dos' and 'donts'. We see it at work, in the cinema, in the office, here in myLot and just about anywhere. Just take this into your stride and follow the 'guidelines'. You could probably see these clearly by the way things are being done at your uncle's house. The way certain activities are being carried out and so forth. Lending a helping hand in whatever small ways you could would make a pleasant experience for all and would make things a lot easier.

Thanks for the quick response. I will do my best to not be a burden to them by showing them frequent little acts of kindness. :)
