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 scary, creepy, crawling, ghoulish maidens and monsters for this year’s Halloween. Halloween is a special holiday ; growing up, it always seemed like the ‘cool’ holiday, being that it wasn’t family-oriented, and specifically intended as a safe space for rebellion, parties, role playing, and distorted realities. No other holiday offers such a diverse and otherworldly place to express oneself. Throwing a Halloween party as an adult will probably mean it’s for adults only …this ain’t y…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Living alone may not live up to what you thought it would be. Apartment complexes can still create that ‘roommate feel’ when your upstairs neighbor won’t stop stomping and screaming all night. Or when your neighbor throws a party until the early hours of the morning, keeping you up all night while you should have been sleeping. But neighborhood drama is put in another category when your neighbor actually attempts to harm your pets. This Reddit…

Welcome back Halloween queens and kings . For Halloween geeks who love dressing up, couple’s costumes are one of the most exciting parts about the holiday season and being in a relationship. Whether you want to be Harry and Ginny, Ratatouille and Linguine, The Joker and Harley Quinn or Mario and Peach, it’s wholesomely adorable to pretend you’re a different duo for the evening. A little cutesy dress up and role play never hurt anyone, right? It’s a special way to celebrate together, and an impo…

The key to any happy marriage is trust. The mutual respect that’s required is unmatched to superficial connections, like having fun together or having the same taste in art. To make a relationship thrive long-term, it needs more than to be bereft of callous remarks, or denigrating tones. To really make it, both parties must want to, they must want to hear the other side, and they mustn’t sweat the small stuff. Loyalty, respect, and trust will always allow a relationship to go further than one w…

When the rules apply to everyone but you

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We never want to feel like a blight to someone’s life, especially when we feel like we’re sacrificing our own to help them. There’s a sense of betrayal when your efforts to help someone else go unnoticed or belittled. It’s demeaning, and makes one feel unappreciated, unseen, and unnoticed. It’s a great gift of love and a sacrifice to help someone with their growing business. We all know that no one formed a successful business all by themselves…

The idiosyncrasies surrounding wedding drama can have the breadth of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. Whether it’s a classic Bridezilla story of a woman making her bridesmaid’s lose weight, a mother-in-law trying to get the upper hand and control everything, or a sibling being uninvited on account of something they’re done to disrespect the engaged couple, wedding drama will always have us at the edge of our seats, wondering about all the niche details. In this particular story, the origin…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Finding out about your partner’s affair is one of the most painful experiences in the world. There’s nothing that parallels the overwhelming, suffocating combination of betrayal, disrespect, disgust, heartbreak, and anger that can nearly destroy someone. As heartbreaking and crushing as it can be, it’s somehow a wildly common crime to commit. As much as a stab in the back as this is, it’s even worse when the affair partner is someone you know.…

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…

"My fiancé then starts laughing and goes ‘that's why I've been dragging my feet on marriage’ and the guys just laughed and said ‘don't do it man, it's a trap’ etc etc."

She did what had to be done.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. These days it’s more common to uninvite someone to your wedding than it is to just invite them. The scandal that someone is omitted from the gathering will cause gossip for years to come, and let’s face it, what’s a wedding without a little drama? Everyone has their own reasons for doing so, and some are more valid than others. But when one goes around mocking your soon-to-be brother-in-law publicly, I’m not sure what they expect to happen. If…

As sympathetic as one can be to people who have no one to talk about their issues with, some lines cannot be crossed. It is okay to occasionally say 'no' to people who seek advice and comfort in the wrong place. What does it mean to seek comfort in the wrong place, you ask? Here is the perfect example – The woman who wrote this Reddit story (OP, original poster) divorced her husband 17 years ago after he cheated on her. He then went on and married the woman he cheated with, and they all remaine…

"I don’t think we should have to endure that kind of disrespect just to keep the peace."

Sister dearest has let her down more than once.
