The pain of family favoritism is like a sting of a bee right into your heart, the wound solidifying over time in a way that will remain indelibly in your memories of childhood. To grow up with wistful envy towards a sibling or relative is far from healthy or normal, and ultimately it’s the parent’s job to make sure all the children are loved and respected equally. No one wants to feel like a second-class citizen in the company of the people who are supposed to make them feel the most loved and…

We’re all familiar with the notion that you can’t choose your family. We can’t choose who our mothers are , who our fathers are, or our siblings. We’re stuck with them for life, and it’s something we all have to adjust to. Fortunately or unfortunately, we can’t choose our in-laws either.

This brings us to the Reddit th…

Nobody needs to 'expand their palette' on Thanksgiving Day

Nobody's gonna know...

"I just wish he would leave me alone and never ask me for anything again."

Thanksgiving is one of the most sacred holidays. From the coziness and warmth, to the delectable dinner items of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, how can you go wrong? This eclectic spread remains a tradition and a staple of American cuisine, and don’t get us started on the leftovers. Although the holiday is a cultural favorite, when families get together, you never know what can happen. When mixing in-laws, there’s bound to be some drama. Take this Reddit piece for example.…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Boundaries have become a bit of a buzzword these days. It seems like anything someone doesn’t like, they want everyone to tiptoe around their ‘boundaries.’ It’s true that it’s hurtful, disrespectful, and frustrating when someone steps on your boundaries.

This woman was six months pregnant, dealing with all the challenges that come with growing a baby, when her ignorant husband suddenly decided he wasn't sure he was ready to be a dad (it's a little late for that, don't you think?). And, to make things wors…

We do not wish it on anybody, but there is something we have to ask. If you were being cheated on and someone close to you found out, do you wish they had told you or that they kept the information to themselves? Honestly, It would surprise us to find out if anyone out there would have preferred not to know. But we can tell you for sure that if we had that sort of information, we would not hold back. We firmly believe that if someone is living a lie, the person who is supposed to be closest to…

Planning family vacations is never fun, especially when one teen makes it her mission to hate everything the family loves. So when Mom was organizing a Disney trip for her kids and nephew, who’s fighting cancer and has been dreaming of this experience, she wasn’t surprised when her 16-year-old stepdaughter immediately shot down the idea. The stepdaughter has a bit of a pattern—she’ll dismiss any plan that others enjoy, whether it’s a zoo trip or a family meal, just because others are happy. Aft…
