Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The ugly face of favoritism shows itself more often than we’d like to admit. Whether we’re friendlier with some coworkers than others, or we prefer to spend time with one sibling over another, or if we’re on the other side of the favoritism coin. What about when we’re the person left out of the friend group, or our uncle chooses to put his othe r nieces and nephews in the will but not us? All of these things play a part in our interpersonal rel…

Hosting a Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most challenging tasks to embark upon, especially if you invite your family. It is one thing to have a cutesy dinner with some friends and wine, but another thing entirely to have to cook for your mother, siblings, cousins, grandparents, etc… I love my family, but the thought of hosting this kind of dinner with everyone makes me want to curl up in my bed and never leave, so it would probably be a long while before I give it a try. That cannot be said…

We're familiar with the never-ending Ross and Rachel "We were on a break" debacle, right? If not, where have you been? You might want to take a break and catch up on your ‘Friends’ pop culture because you've clearly been living under a rock! If you are familiar, then although this situation isn’t quite the same, it is definitely a classic case of he said, she said—lost in translation. This man dated a woman, and after 12 dates the concept of exclusivity certainly comes to mind, right? No? Well,…

How the Grinch stole Thanksgiving.

Just a measly 50k

As much as I love dogs and believe me, I love dogs , I don't think I would be very happy if a friend decided to show up at my home with a dog without asking for my permission or at least giving me a heads up. Dogs are great, but they are also a lot to deal with, so bringing that energy to someone else's house is definitely something you should run by them first. Especially on holidays like Thanksgiving. If someone decides to host a Thanksgiving dinner, they have to get their house ready for all…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Though we’re passed the hump of our precious turkey holiday, the post- Thanksgiving family stories never fail to keep us engaged after the fact. Whether it’s your Aunt Sarah’s bashful and brazen personal questions to your boyfriend, or your Uncle Victor’s terrible impression of Jerry Seinfeld, there’s always something to debrief and gossip about. If there’s one thing the holidays are good for, it’s our ability to indulge in food and family dram…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Parenting is never easy, not when you’re married and planned for it, and not when you’re unmarried and conceived by accident. Bringing a child into the world is life changing, and should never be taken for granted. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, it centers around a couple who had a child while they were young and out of wedlock. They weren’t married, and they broke up before the ba…

Not everyone shares the same idea of birthday etiquette.

Relationships are never black and white, but this one has too many shades of gray for us to get behind. This husband and wife can't seem to get on the same wavelength, and his hands may have been tied a little too long (and not in the way you'd want to be tied). His wife prioritizes everyone's input when it comes to decisions about their son, and it consistently comes before her husband's, crossing one too many red lines. If you care more about your sister's approval of your son's name than you…

Way to jump to conclusions...

This lady needs to get her just desserts...

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Jealousy is one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s as if someone is pouring icy, freezing cold water slowly into your mouth and all you can do is stay paralyzed in the purgatory of pain as your stomach slowly starts to ache and you feel yourself becoming numb. One of the worst parts about jealousy is that no one else is burdened from the suffering except you. Your partner doesn’t care, and whoever is making you feel jealous doesn’t either…

Children-led education has its ups and downs—is it right for your family?

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all remember being in elementary school and going door to door selling wreaths, chocolates, magazines, or any number of other items for fundraisers. Come to think of it, I don’t remember any prizes back then either, but that’s besides the point. It’s never a good feeling when you work towards something and get nothing in return, and an even more frustrating lesson to learn when you’re a kid. This brings us to the Reddit story. In this thread…

As much as we all like to think that the corporate world is getting better at providing equal opportunities to men and women, women are still far from being treated the same way as men in the workplace. As women, we can all name at least once when the mere fact that we are women got in the way of our journey at work. It is enough of a struggle to be a woman in any work environment, so we can't imagine what it is like being a woman in a male-dominant work environment. Still, this story supplies…
