Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Rings are sentimental for so many people. Not only is it a symbol of marriage, but it’s a symbol of love between a couple, a symbol of their commitment. When someone wears a ring in that special place, people know they’re taken. It’s a gesture of respect to their significant other, to show off their relationship status, and brag that their partner bought them the ring. If someone were to take sentimental items from you, it’s thievery. It’s neve…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you’re a child, a lot of things can go over your head without realizing it. You sort of believe everything you’re told, you assume that everything that happens to you is happening to everyone else, and that it’s normal. As we get older, we have a more mature lens in which to observe things. We can better understand what happens to us, and make better decisions about it. If our parents are divorced, it can feel like a whirlwind of emotions…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. School bullies are a serious matter. A child’s life can be paradise or an inferno if they’re being bullied. It’s humiliating and destroys one’s confidence. Bullying can get so bad that the child may have to transfer schools, which is even more of a stab in the back. It’s impossible to enjoy school life, friends, or anything when there’s a bully following your every move, waiting to attack you. In this Reddit thread, it follows a father, daughte…

Christmas is just around the corner...

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Traveling with friends may seem like a dream come true on the outside, but sometimes it can be closer to a nightmare. Traveling with anyone is a test to the relationship; as they say, travel with a partner before getting married. You don’t actually know all sides of someone until you’ve traveled with them. It goes the same for friends. Things may seem great on the surface, but when you’re spending 24/7 together, sleeping in the same room, and t…

The Merry Moms of Christmas

If you have a sister close in age, you probably laugh, cry, and fight just as loudly. The expression “go big or go home” might exist for this very reason. As someone with a sister, you can’t convince me otherwise. Once you both become mothers, one or both of you get to be the cool aunt, adding yet another thing—or rather, someone—to bond over. Plus, who doesn’t love free babysitting? Seems like a win-win to me! I bet that’s exactly what this pair of sisters thought, too… until this incident hap…

Raising your kids is hard work. Ideally, your family is there for support and a shoulder to lean on. But in some extreme cases, all your family does is meddle and cross boundaries. That’s a red flag at best, and at worst, it could lead to a restraining order. You always want what’s best for your kids, and at the end of the day, your family likely wants the same. But what happens when they take matters into their own hands a little too far? That’s exactly what happened to this mom when her own m…

Imaging being so self-absorbed that you think all quiet people are secretly judging you.

When it comes to relationships, there are several basic common-sense rules that should not be explained to other people, especially when it comes to dating rules. But since stories like this one exist, it sounds like some people might need a refreshment, so here we go–Keep your attention off your phone, don't bring anyone else with you, avoid talking about past relationships, make eye contact, do the ‘check dance’, and don't have one date pick you up from another one! If you read the title, you…

Oof, they took the bait!

Holidays Give Me Brain Fog

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In family affairs, it’s not always easy to keep your mouth shut. You go in and out of these feelings and thoughts, and sometimes it just builds until it explodes. Of course, it’s not always the best course of action to let things bottle, but if they do, at least stand behind what you said. Just remember, it’s better to air grievances privately, rather than publicly. In this Reddit thread, it centers around a family at dinner. The original poste…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Who doesn’t love Starbucks? Even if you consider yourself a coffee fanatic, coffee buff, or coffee connoisseur, the guilty pleasure of a sugary, caramel-filled, iced frappuccino with whipped cream on top is something none of us can deny. Even though it’s more of an extravagant dessert than it is a coffee drink, we still love to indulge in its decadence. But at the same time, no one likes to mix work and pleasure, especially on a holiday. In thi…
