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…

Can You Believe These Kids Said That?

While in relationships, you always want to be on the same page as your partner, share similar values, and even have the same movie tastes. It may seem like petulant or superficial compatibility, but I think they’re more important than people realize. I couldn’t imagine having dinner with my boyfriend, and being disappointed when I realize he’s vegan and we can’t share anything. Or having a movie night and absolutely cringing about their movie suggestions. Those are just tastes, what about life…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Some people like to get creative with baby names, using names of characters, or making up your own. I once read of a couple who wanted to combine a Greek goddess with a Greek word, and the result was nothing less than horrifying and confusing. Honestly, just name your kids normal names . When someone has too unique of a name, they’re often not taken as seriously in the world. It can be laughable. But at the end of the day, it’s the parent’s dec…

They sure do keep us on our toes

Not every mother-daughter relationship is going to look like best friends. We all know someone who’s best friends with their mother, but it’s not atypical for mothers and daughters to butt heads. It’s a lose-lose for both people, and both people ideally would love a good relationship with the other. But unfortunately, we can’t choose our family. Money is also a consistent point of contention in any relationship, especially family. When money gets involved, people start losing sight of things, a…

We’re all familiar with the archetype of the evil step-mother. Albeit it’s rooted in archaic fairy tales, all art is some sort of representation of real life. It’s clearly based on something, and even most Disney movies omit a mother, or there’s the typical evil step-mother. Regardless of if you agree with this caricature, the story below portrays a step-mother who may have acted out of line. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is the step-mother who’s banished her step-daughter fro…

When Online Shopping Becomes Questionable

Are You More Couture or Couch Chic?

This joke went a little too far.

Is she planning to get married again?

The phrases ‘work wife’ and ‘work husband’ have entered our colloquial vernacular overnight. Who decided this is okay? Personally, I think it’s a little cringe. If you’re both single, it just comes off as immature and withholding. Just date if you are already calling them husband and wife. But if you’re in a relationship …it’s even weirder. Imagine calling a male friend, ‘second boyfriend,’ to your partner? This nomenclature isn’t meaningless. If it’s just friends, then why does their title imp…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Divorce is messy, and rarely does one or both people come out unscathed on the other side. Not only is it a colossal emotional roller coaster, it’s also a headache logistically, and a loss financially. Everyone comes out losing after a divorce. Maybe the man has to give tons of money to his ex, but it doesn’t mean she’s happy with her winnings. Both people have to start a whole new life, some have to move, and it’s not something I’d wish on my…
