Anyway, there can be a slew of reasons why these two women can’t get along . Maybe there are expectations for caretaking, grandparenting, or fi…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Family dynamics are funny; for some people, being close-knit to extended family members is a must.

Doctors are running around you, nurses are injecting you with foreign objects, and it’s important to have your safety net of people there to comfort you while you’re in such an uncomfortable situation. It’s the woman’s body, therefore it’s the woman’s choice who she wants and doesn’t want in the delivery room with her. No one can speak for her, and no one w…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. A wedding is a special occasion for the bride and groom, and usually the bride has a bit more preferences about the way things should go. Because it’s customary for the bride to wear white on her big day, it’s typical that guests refrain from wearing that color. It’s bad luck, and it’s just plain rude.
