Help please! What would you do if you had a roommate that doesn't wanna help do anything?

My cousin and I have this roommate (her friend) and she is LAZY. She doesn't do ANY of the house work and she sits around doing absolutely nothing but sit in her ass all day and watch tv on her laptop. It's irritating the hell out of us. We do all the work and when we ask her to help, she gets an attitude with us and tell us we pick fights with her. We're not! She's the one that's picking fights with us. She ALWAYS does. She asks for money and when we refuse, she calls us stingy and selfish! She hasn't been looking for a job and she's been lying about it. We had to set her straight several times and we've warned her that we're going to kick her out of she doesn't shape up. My cousin and I are the ones that make a living and working out asses off to survive. Her parents already kicked her out for her laziness. She has only been staying with us for four months. She helped out with chores but just stopped.

Well change wifi password everyday ;) then tell her you'll only give her password when she's done with her part of chores

you have stated your own solution. One last sit-down, your grievances in writing. Do not be emotional about it, simply matter of fact. Advise her if she shows defensiveness, it shall be the end of discussion. Tell her in advance.
Give her a deadline for action and stick to it. Then, if change happens, give her props for it. If not, then give her notice and that notice is 1 day.

Well it's life, isn't it? If it's YOUR house then kick her out. If it's NOT your property and she pays her share then tough love.

My cousin and I own this house

@WelcomeToMyWorld: WAIT! Let's not be hasty in kicking her out. Sit down with her and explain to her house chores/ getting butts in gear etc. OR she'll have to find a place of her own. "This behaviour will not be tolerated in my house" must be made clear.

@Sazzio: We're not really going to kick her out. We're just scaring her so she wont be so lazy

Tell her to get lost. Or move into a two bedroom so there's sadly nowhere for her to stay.
kick the bich out !
