If women run the world, mothers must run the cosmos

Sisters are sometimes your best friends, and other times, they're your worst critics.

Dads: the cool parent

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s a cruel world we live in to think that a mother would ever go no contact with her son , but I guess there are always exceptions. Going no contact with someone is just wildly black and white; it leaves no room for atonement, understanding, or resolution. In my opinion, it’s immature. Everyone makes mistakes, and holding it over the person like you’re their judge, jury, and executer is just ridiculous, especially when it comes to family. This brings us to t…

In any kind of connection, romantic or platonic, honesty is paramount. Therefore, how would you react if someone penalized you for telling them the truth? After all, finding the truth isn't always easy. The story below is an account of a protective sister. In an attempt to learn from their mother's mistakes and not repeat them, the original poster (OP) and her sister promised to notify each other right away if they saw any behavior that mirrored that of their mother after becoming parents. Ther…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s always heartbreaking when a parent isn’t there for you. Growing up without a mother figure or father figure is difficult, and can cause problems in emotional development, attachment styles, and expectations in romantic relationships. It’s hard to navigate the world without adult supervision, even when you’re an adolescent and early adult. We all need a parent there for us. In this Reddit thread, the boy’s parents divorced when he was very…

They want to live close to their grand children and want to live outside their means at the same time.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Sometimes family expects too much of us . There are lines drawn in the sand, but we’re the only ones who can see it. It makes sense that in times of trouble or loneliness, we turn to family members for support. We still need to remember that they’re human too, they have their own feelings, boundaries, and preferences. In this particular Reddit thread, the woman is feeling unappreciated by her entitled brother. She’s been babysitting her nephew for a while now,…

She went behind her daughter's back for the sake of tradition.

Knowing more than just one language is such an important tool in life, you can open yourself up to so many new experiences if you let yourself learn tools like another language. Travel, people, conversation, and even work look different when you acquire those tools. Not to mention, if you do not tell people about your skill, you can have some clever opportunities to reveal that fact in a way that would truly make an impact. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, who decided to reveal…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s never a good feeling when you feel like someone is trying to take advantage of you . The level of personal frustration and disrespect is unpleasant, not to mention the inconsideration. No one is obligated to take care of someone else’s children, even if it is family. Blood relations aren’t the end all/ be all of everything in life. People trying to convince you otherwise are just here to use you. This brings us to the Reddit story. It’s an…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Relationships can take so many turns, ones you don’t expect. You start dating someone, things are going smoothly, and then can just shock you in a moment with news you weren’t ready for. People are surprising, and it’s wise in relationships to weed out what’s normal and what isn’t. Exes are also a topic of conversation. When dating someone new, there shouldn’t really be a lot of contact with exes, I think we can all agree upon that. If there ar…
