Good Night and Don't Let the Bed...Kids Bite!

Paws-itively Adorable Bonds with Pets!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In this day and age, going no contact with family members is more and more common. It doesn’t matter if it’s your mother, daughter, sister, brother, or father, if someone does or says something you don’t like, it’s common protocol to never speak to them again. It’s a bit extreme, and not to mention dramatic, but of course everyone is entitled to their decisions. If you don’t want someone in your life, then no one can force you. So what’s the pr…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. No one wants to feel taken advantage of, no one wants to feel like someone is using them or treating them like a doormat. But where’s the line? We all have our own boundaries, but at what point do we cross the boundary of, ‘being nice and generous’ into the territory of, ‘now we’re being used.’ It’s all individual, it’s all up to the person. Lines get skewed when family gets involved. We all know the feeling, and we should all listen to our ins…

Christmas: a magical, plentiful, convivial, festive holiday. Christmas offers everything for our coveting pallets, from sentimental family time, cozy, lighthearted Christmas movies while the fireplace rolls on, to the gift of giving and receiving presents before a scrumptious, warm meal together.

Your Dinner Party Era Has Taken a Wild Turn!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet.

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a 16-year-old boy who’s lost his mother. His father has been dating a woman, Kate, for a lon…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Christmas is a holiday favorite. We all remember waking up in the early hours of the morning to open gifts from Santa. The lights, the tree, and stockings hanging above the fireplace, it gives us the feeling of a warm embrace. Some families have a big ham for dinner, or maybe a pot roast filled pumpkin, but either way it’s always warm, satisfying, and hits all the tender taste buds that have us wanting more and more. It’s important to never for…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Weddings are usually a day of celestial celebrations, dancing, drinking, and loved ones surrounding you. This convivial day should be special and indelible, filled with laughing, crying, hugging, and tearing up the dance floor. Everyone knows the ubiquitous conduct for weddings: no wearing white, treating the bride like a queen, and no announcements about your own life. Some people didn’t get the memo though. That takes us to the Reddit thread.…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all love a story about marriage, money, and the intricacies of a couple’s personal life. As the holidays approach, gift giving has entered the forefront of our brain. What we’ll get someone, how much we’re willing to spend, who we’re going to buy for – they’re all questions that spring up at the most random moments of our day. But we all understand the tact and protocol about receiving gifts, meaning the social mores involved. This brings us…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Having siblings means that (probably) there won’t be complete fairness during your upbringing. One got to have a kitten growing up, and the other didn’t. One got to go to acting lessons, but not the other. Maybe your dad took you on a road trip that one summer, but your siblings didn’t get to go. It’s all part of growing up, and it’s a good life lesson that nothing in life is fair. But that’s not exactly what happens in this Reddit thread. In t…
