Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s somehow so common to be expected to babysit for free . Blood is thicker than water, and I guess for some people that means you can expect your family members to take care of your children whenever you don’t feel like it. The truth of the matter is that if the kids are yours, then you are the only one expected to take care of them, no one else. This brings us to the Reddit thread. A woman has three children and no husband. After her busy an…

It's no wonder people turned to art to grieve, they didn't have smartphones

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s important to feel like the friends and family in your life support you and are there for you in whatever situation you struggle with.

Welcome back internet queens and kings. Money is essential to the cycles and happiness of living, but it’s an evil denominator that often gets in the way of human relationships. It shouldn’t matter as much as it does, but people become blind to its power. This isn’t just for people who are not financially well off and desperat e; even people who already have a lot of money can lose sight of their surroundings and attempt to manipulate situations for the sake of greed. But that’s not what’s happ…

Welcome back internet queens and kings. The season for vacationing is upon us. There’s nothing better than planning a long-awaited trip, getting together with your loved ones for some quiet and quality time. All of these things seem like good ideas, but in reality it isn’t always sunshine and roses. Family means tension, fights, and negative atmospheres for some people. Dynamics could get difficult.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The word ‘family’ can mean different things to different people.

It’s not always a given that blood relations means someone will be there for you, or that they want the best for you. In my opinion, you can have the same bond and closeness with friends as you do family. This brings us to the Reddit thread. This story is an update…

"Should I just settle and help him pay his debts off/accept that this is what's happening and stay with him? Or try to detach and take steps back and live separately until he can get a grip on his financial situation?"

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Relationships can take so many turns, ones you don’t expect. You start dating someone, things are going smoothly, and then can just shock you in a moment with news you weren’t ready for. People are surprising, and it’s wise in relationships to weed out what’s normal and what isn’t. Exes are also a topic of conversation. When dating someone new, there shouldn’t really be a lot of contact with exes, I think we can all agree upon that. If there ar…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When it’s someone’s wedding, you couldn’t be more happy for them (usually). We all want our friends and family to enjoy their perfect day, and we’re willing to make that day special for them (within reason).

You struggle every day to provide your kids with the greatest life imaginable. But how would you react, if, after over twenty years of unflinching love and sacrifice as a parent, your children's greatest goal was for you to live a lonely, isolated life? The painful tale of a heartbroken mother can be found below. The original poster (OP) had recently filed for divorce from her spouse of over twenty-five years. The divorce was long overdue as the husband had adulterous affairs with women half hi…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It goes without saying that taking the spotlight away from the bride on her wedding day is uncouth, and probably intentional. Everyone knows it’s her day, that she’ll want the love and support from her friends and family, and that she should be celebrated. If someone threatens that spotlight, things can get out of hand. This brings us to the Reddit piece. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s always felt like she lives in th…

Welcome back internet queens and kings. Usually, people are notified of important dates, like weddings, months in advance, sometimes a year. It’s respectful and courteous to tell your guests well in advance about wedding dates, that is if you want them to come. If someone can’t make it given the ample time of planning, it has to be on them. What if you didn’t plan it? If something so crucial and important comes up at the same time as this long awaited wedding date? This brings us to the Reddit…
