Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Divorce isn’t easy for anyone. If you’re a child watching your parents get divorced, it could affect your notion of love the rest of your life. Seeing your parents date other people, and even get married must feel like a ton of bricks just fell on you, and you don’t even have a say about it. If you’re one of the parents getting the divorce, it could be even worse. Resentment, jealousy, d isappointment, and grief can override your ability to tak…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you choose to marry and bring someone into the family, it might not always be a smooth transition. There are infinite stories regarding MIL drama with their DIL, or beef between sibling in-laws. Though it’s maddening to have the people you’re closest to not like each other, it happens more than we’d like to admit. Everyone has their own ways of coping with it; some people choose not to intermingle their family with their partner, and some…

We all have family drama one way or another. No matter who you are or who’s in your family, there will always be disagreements and chaos from time to time. But some families take this to a whole new level. That’s exactly what happened in this woman's case when she ended up with double the kids she signed up for. To make matters worse, not only did these new ‘stepchildren’ they dislike her own son, but they also vowed to make her life even more difficult. Talk about a tough situation. What’s a w…

Finding love is often a lot of trial and error, but eventually, you find your person, you just need to believe. However, as my mom likes to say, when you get married, you're marrying the whole family to some extent, so choose wisely. That can also be a hit or a miss. And if it ends up being a miss, what do you do? Do you give up on your love, or do you power through? They say you don't choose your family, you're born into one, but when you build your own, to what extent can you choose, and wher…

It looks like a toddler sprayed tooth paste all over the walls...

As women, we want to prove to the rest of the world that we are just as capable as men and can be just as successful, especially when it comes to our careers. We constantly need to fight to show our worth, and I am sorry, but stories like this one prove that in some ways, we can never be truly equal to men. It is no secret that motherhood and successful careers sometimes do not go hand in hand. Even starting with the very first step of motherhood–the pregnancy. Being pregnant, then later having…

Married Couples Who Love a Quibble

When you decide to tie the knot with your loved one, it is natural to feel nervous about the idea of committing to one person for the rest of your life. Ideally, getting married means that you are going to be with this one person and only this one person, and it is okay to be slightly scared by the idea. However, it is one thing to be scared and another to try and convince your partner to change the whole nature of your relationship. For example, a month before her wedding, the woman in this Re…

The Reddit masses have spoken, and the conclusion is clear, it’s really all about the kids. Children are innocent, no matter how badly their parents screw up. That raises the question, should children suffer the consequences of their parents' mistakes? If there was ever a time when matters are painted in crazy shades of gray, it’s now. They say that parental figures are some of the most important adults in a child's life, especially during their developmental years. For these two daughters thru…

It's not about the massage; it was never about the massage!!!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you’re a child, a lot of things can go over your head without realizing it. You sort of believe everything you’re told, you assume that everything that happens to you is happening to everyone else, and that it’s normal. As we get older, we have a more mature lens in which to observe things. We can better understand what happens to us, and make better decisions about it. If our parents are divorced, it can feel like a whirlwind of emotions…

Imaging being so self-absorbed that you think all quiet people are secretly judging you.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In family affairs, it’s not always easy to keep your mouth shut. You go in and out of these feelings and thoughts, and sometimes it just builds until it explodes. Of course, it’s not always the best course of action to let things bottle, but if they do, at least stand behind what you said. Just remember, it’s better to air grievances privately, rather than publicly. In this Reddit thread, it centers around a family at dinner. The original poste…
