Throwing a party and informing all your guests that it is ‘adults only’ because you don't want kids to attend, is completely fair and up to you. It is also completely fair and up to your guests to refuse the invitation, especially if they have kids who are forbidden from attending the party. If you cannot understand that a rule like that would minimize your guest list, then maybe you should reconsider the rule. That is what I would have said to the brother in this Reddit story, who got upset wi…

If you liked it then you should've put a ring on... your own finger.

"He also had the gifts delivered to his parents house, and asked them to hide them and not mention it because ‘I would get angry’ [and] they agreed."

Even after reconciling with an old friend, she realizes the reason why she left her behind in the first place.

"She’s living irresponsibly and I don’t want to enable that behavior."

Knowing more than just one language is such an important tool in life, you can open yourself up to so many new experiences if you let yourself learn tools like another language. Travel, people, conversation, and even work look different when you acquire those tools. Not to mention, if you do not tell people about your skill, you can have some clever opportunities to reveal that fact in a way that would truly make an impact. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, who decided to reveal…

Some people find it hard to understand that working from home still means having to work. Even though you are home, you are still required to do your job, and other than not having to commute and possibly working in your pajamas, it is not so different than working from the office. My husband, for example, has a hard time letting me work whenever I work from home and he is there. He will constantly come and talk to me, sometimes even while I am in the middle of a meeting. I always have to remin…

When you marry someone, you are not just marrying them, you are marrying their entire family. This is not just a saying, this is something anyone who is in a serious relationship should keep in mind. If one doesn't have a good relationship with their partner's family, then one should get ready for some real challenges. That being said, the responsibility of maintaining a good relationship with the family lies both with the partner and the family, and both should be on their best behavior with e…

Every person is entitled to choose their friends and the people who are closest to them. No one should tell you who you can be friends with, and whether or not you are allowed to talk to certain people. That being said, common sense points out that there should be some red lines one should not cross. For example, being friends with your sibling's ex should not cross your mind, or keeping in contact with your ex's parents. Some relationships are simply off-limits, and no one should have to be th…

Different people have different dreams when it comes to their wedding. We all view that special day in our own unique way, and we all deserve to make that dream a reality, whether it is a big wedding with hundreds of people or a small ceremony with only the happy couple. That being said, when it comes to family, I believe it is important to be as transparent about your wedding day as possible. Sure it is your special day, but your family deserves to know where they stand in regards to that, and…

I am not sure if I should be proud of this or not, but my sisters are my best friends. I love my actual friends, but no one knows me as well as my two sisters, and I truly cherish them more than anyone else in my life. I cannot imagine what I would do if one of them decided to get married on the same day as I do, and I cannot understand what would drive someone to do that to their sibling. Why would you want to split up your entire family when as they decide which wedding to attend? Why ruin yo…

"She’s playing terrible mind games with me and she’s exploiting my insecurities..."

"When I asked, her reaction was ‘Isn't that the role that requires a lot of work?’"

"It takes less than 30 seconds for him to reach out."

“I somewhat feel like a ‘rebound' and although I can't victimize myself in this situation, the way he insisted on naming our daughter made me feel inferior...”

As much as parents love to say they don't have a favorite child, everyone knows that is completely untrue. The parents know it, the kids know it, and even the cat knows it. They can try the hide it, and if they do it well, the favoritism can go undetected for a long time, but at some point, the small actions towards a specific kid pile up and the truth comes out. For example, I have two sisters, and all three of us know that my parents love my younger sister the most. They spoiled her more grow…
