Being the cool aunt >>> being the mom.

It's amazing, or rather shocking, how far people are willing to go to avoid facing the consequences of their actions. Lies and deception all just so they won't have to admit to the mistakes they made. All that until, inevitably, the truth comes out, and all the relationships they build on top of those lies face destruction. The father in this Reddit story is now facing the destruction of the relationship he has with his son because he tried to hide the truth about his birth. The father was marr…

Above all, family comes first. That being said, how would you react, though, if you thought your family was taking advantage of your kindness?

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Family is tough. It’s as if there’s a phrase about how we don’t choose our family …as if the whole world is on board with this notion.
