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.…

Imagine you’ve planned the trip of your dreams. You and your two best friends have been brainstorming, researching, and looking forward to this trip for two years now, and finally all the loose ends are tied together. You’re more than excited, and you know that you’ve put in the work to see that your vision comes to fruition. Well, your dreams may take a different direction faster than you expected. Some people really do plan impromptu weddings , I know because I’ve been to some. Good luck to t…

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. You feel like you’re not in control, and that someone else dictates aspects of your life that you didn’t want them to have a say in. It’s hard to see someone the same after a situation like thi…

Pregnancy is no walk in the park. It's an endless rollercoaster of hormones, aches, exhaustion, and nausea. Now imagine the struggle of going through it alone, all while trying to work, keep up with household chores, and take care of yourself. 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…

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…
