Is There Such A Thing As A Chill Summer With Kids?

Welcome back internet aficionados. We all know the annoyance and frustration when someone wears the same dress as us at a function. It’s embarrassing, it makes you paranoid about people comparing how it looks on you, and it’s just uncomfortable. Now, it may not be pleasant, but it’s nothing compared to a family member naming their baby the same name you want to name yours. In this particular Reddit story, the original poster (OP) and her husband have been talking about these names for a while.…

Sometimes it's necessary to give yourself a break when you've been busy juggling a family, work, and school—this husband does not agree.

Wouldn't have it any other way

After a couple decides to tie the knot and gets married, the next step is usually kids. But how do couples know they are ready to have children? It seems like such a scary decision, and it's so life-changing, that you have to be 100% sure you are ready for it, but is anyone ever 100% sure about anything? My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years, and only now we are starting to feel slightly ready to discuss kids, which means we are having deep conversations about our plans for the…

Hey there internet folk . Does the word ‘entitlement’ mean anything to you? It seems as if people are constantly delusional about themselves, and the world revolves around them in their head. It’s what we call ‘main character energy’ these days. You expect to be owed things that, well frankly, the world just doesn’t owe you. Let’s take this Reddit thread as an example. Woman gets pregnant with a man’s baby and has it. Same woman gets pregnant with a different man’s baby and has it. Now woman ex…

As much as I get along with my mother-in-law, and I honestly do get along with her, I will never agree to have her living in my home. It is simply a recipe for disaster, both for the relationship between the two women and for the relationship of the couple themselves. This is why it is actually not that surprising that the woman in this Reddit story has reached a breaking point because of her MIL (mother-in-law). For some reason, MIL has started living with OP (original poster), her husband, an…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When your son is graduating from high school, it’s an exciting and new time. As parents, you’re filled with pride and joy for all the hard work your son has put in. But on the other side of the coin, we all know teenage boys. It’s as if they’re another species, blood pumping full of unhinged hormones, and their prefrontal cortex unfortunately highly underdeveloped. This double whammy of puberty results in some wild behavior. In this Reddit thread, the original…

Hey there internet queens and kings. T here’s nothing like the feeling of being rejected; when you’re dating someone and they just don’t like you anymore, or even swiping on Tinder and starting conversations that don’t go anywhere. Now, it’s one thing if it’s when you’re dating , but when it’s with your husband , things can get bad. Not only do you feel rejected by your husband, but your husband is rejecting you for his own mother. What a stab in the face. In this particular Reddit piece, the o…

Sometimes there's a beauty to the chaos.

was she justified?

moms deserve more credit

In the family, favoritism is hardly unheard of. In most families, there is always a child who is closer to the parents than the others. Having said that, it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that each child feels valued and cherished. The story below tells the story of the frustrated daughter. The original poster (OP) married the love of her life in a magical ceremony that was witnessed by the people she holds dear. However, things rapidly became dire when pictures from the big day sta…

We love our little egg heads.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen. We all know how important our reputations are. One libel and it’s all over. And unfortunately, when it comes to ‘he said she said,’ it’s all up to faith. People will believe whatever they want to match the narrative they agree with or that makes sense to them. This can cause logical fallacies in the entire function of the interpersonal relationships between people. Now, imagine you have your sister and her teenage children over for a pool party, in which your frien…

Hey there internet ladies and gentlemen. When entering a relationship with someone, there’s a lot of trial and error to find out how compatible you two are. There’s a whole nature of the relationship that could be extremely incompatible, but does not reveal itself until too late into the game. The important thing is to find out the truth before things get too deep. If a normal, traditional beginning of a relationship is difficult to navigate, adding children becomes downright tiresome. Things c…
