Is she planning to get married again?

The phrases ‘work wife’ and ‘work husband’ have entered our colloquial vernacular overnight. Who decided this is okay? Personally, I think it’s a little cringe. If you’re both single, it just comes off as immature and withholding. Just date if you are already calling them husband and wife. But if you’re in a relationship …it’s even weirder. Imagine calling a male friend, ‘second boyfriend,’ to your partner? This nomenclature isn’t meaningless. If it’s just friends, then why does their title imp…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Divorce is messy, and rarely does one or both people come out unscathed on the other side. Not only is it a colossal emotional roller coaster, it’s also a headache logistically, and a loss financially. Everyone comes out losing after a divorce. Maybe the man has to give tons of money to his ex, but it doesn’t mean she’s happy with her winnings. Both people have to start a whole new life, some have to move, and it’s not something I’d wish on my…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Having friends is a crucial part of living a happy and healthy life. If you only have your partner and kids, it can feel isolating. We all need a breather from our bubble of family and work, and friends are the perfect escapism to mitigate life’s banalities. But what makes someone a good friend? What qualities encompass that person who’s always there for you, who has your back, who you can be transparent with, but also have fun with. It takes t…

Are you a Star Trek kind of dad, or a video game guy?

Welcome back ladies and gents of the internet. The word ‘responsibility’ has a different ring as a parent. Your responsibility to your child cannot be compared to anything else. If you let someone else watch your kid, you have to know that what happens is out of your hands, and that if you don’t meet them at the promises you made, you could be disappointed in the end. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who’s agreed to be his nephew’s babysitte…

There's a difference between 'family helps family' and 'family is entitled to your money.'

Welcome, internet-lurking ladies. Hosting dinners and events is an art form. Even small gatherings take a lot of effort and careful planning; buying groceries, cooking a meal, and dealing with cleanup is only the tip of the iceberg. Good hosts must also find a suitable night for all guests, tidy the home and rearrange furniture, and ensure everyone's safety for a great dining experience. Unfortunately, in our story today, our protagonist's mother decides to actively ignore the last point, putti…

She could have just watched it after work!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. No job will ever be perfect. If it’s not the pay, it’s the commute. If it’s not the commute, it’s the job itself. And if it’s not the job itself, then it’s your coworkers. People spend one third of their life at work, so everyone wants it to be under pleasant circumstances. In my opinion, you can hate your job, but if you hate the people then you’re doomed. The people you work with make or break the work environment. It could be your dream job,…

Everyone's favorite holiday

Welcome back CheezCake folks. Marriage is a constant tugging and thrusting on the tether between you and your husband. This oscillation can be enervating, but those sacred words “I do” don’t seem to care about your struggles. “Through thick and thin” and through arguments, disagreements, and exacerbated conversations that seem to go in circles. It’s true that it’s all part of the marriage agreement, and communication and calmness will come in handy when things get too heated. It’s always wise t…

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

Did she accidentally stumble into an episode of The Handmaid's Tale?

That's just cruel...

You just had to be there.
