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…

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. Parenting is no walk in the park. One wrong comment, one slip of the tongue and a curse word comes out, next thing you know your kid is blabbing profanity during his daily ambulations to school. Albeit kids minds are incredibly impressionable, they’re also malleable, and you can out teach them learned behaviors. It’s important to teach your children moral and ethical lessons, or they could wind up doing something with more consequences than it’…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Some people have strict protocols when it comes to lending money. Some might lend it frivolously, while others choose never to mix money and relationships . To be honest, I’m on the side of the latter; I think someone has to be in extremely dire need of money to feel justified in lending them money, unless it’s small amounts. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who’s already lent his brother a large sum of money, expecting…

Money will tear families apart. From what you thought was a happy, healthy, and close-knit family, can turn into near strangers when money is involved. It’s not the first time siblings will fight over inheritance money or family possessions, and it won’t be the last. People usually expect equality in a will, but that’s not always the case. At the end of the day, people need to put away their petulance and just accept what fate (or a late grandparent) has given them. In this Reddit thread, the o…

Timing is everything, and planning events amongst multiple people means that some people may not be able to come, or it means that it needs a copious amount of time to plan for. Usually for weddings, people give their guests so much time in advance to plan for it to ensure that everyone comes. Attending a wedding may require buying a plane ticket, or a hotel reservation, so it’s customary to tell guests months, or even a year in advance. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this Reddit story…

We have said it time and time again: your family is your first priority. However, how would you respond if your family betrayed you and then pleaded with you to stay and provide for them financially? The story below is an account of a frustrated brother. The original poster (OP) had been outed to his parents by his brother, who caused him to be shunned at an early age. As a result, OP had to start learning at a very young age how to survive and thrive on his own merits. OP has established a res…

Welcome back internet lovers. We all know how important it is to have family, even if we’re not close with them. Our family is our anchor; they’re there for us when we need them, and they’re a support system for us to rely on. When they don’t live up to these basic expectations, it can be very disappointing. Maybe because these people are the closest to us, when things go wrong, the consequences are the most devastating. So many people are cutting contact with their families today, whether it’s…

There’s no need to rate a wedding M for Mature.

Would you mind keeping quiet for the sake of a nice evening? or would you stand up for what you believe to be right? The sister who is frustrated is described in the story below. The original poster, or OP, recentl…
