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…

Summer is magical when you're a kid. When you're a parent... not so much.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. Building your future with someone is no small decision. There’s a lot of responsibility involved for both people. If you can’t rely on your partner's words or actions, or if you don’t perceive them as financially responsible, then how is one to trust them in the future with money? Especially when you start bringing kids into the situation, it’s imperative to have full trust in your partner , and to know that you’re a team building something together. This all…

Motherhood isn't what you expected, but you're doing it one day at a time

The love a mother can give is unmatched. The idea that there is someone out there who will reach across the sky to guarantee your well-being has tremendous allure. Still, how would you respond if your mother-in-law disapproved of your partner? Would you try to make up for it if he noticed the disparities between you and your siblings, or would you just accept things the way they are? The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. For over a decade, the original poster (OP) has been married…

What follows is the story of a disgruntled son. The original poster (OP) is expected to marry his true love in the coming months.

I firmly believe that being a single parent is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, and I salute every single parent out there for all their hard work. Not only do they have to raise their kid, or kids, all alone, but they have to work while doing it and maintaining a roof over their family's head. Some even do it without any help from the rest of their family, and still manage to take care of everything all alone. Like the single mother in this Reddit story, who raised her son all al…

Don't stress, scroll memes

Your family, especially your parents, should always come first. When you really think about it, your parents have done everything they could to make sure you lead a happy and comfortable life. When the roles are reversed and you have the opportunity to repay your elderly parents, is there a boundary you wouldn't exceed or would you do anything to please them? The account of a perplexed daughter is told below. The original poster (OP) questions whether it was appropriate for her to refuse her pa…

Being a father is not like being a mother, scroll through the memes to better understand

Welcome back internet ladies and gentlemen. Relationships can seem as complicated as flying to the moon, or performing open heart surgery. But why is that? It’s just two people working things out together, and somehow it drives us to stressful and unhinged places we never thought we would be. Humans are such emotional creatures…aren’t we? Always swaying this way and that; never fully sure of our decisions and in a constant state of emotional purgatory. This particular Reddit thread follows a co…

can you wear the wrong color to a baby shower?

Hey there, internet enthusiasts. If there’s one thing about family, it's that it’s not always easy. Most people in the world have kids, regardless of nationality. Having children is a normal and integral part of adulthood, and most people end up parents. It’s very rare to see a family of 4 and none of them decide to have kids, except for one. Sure, this may make that person with children feel like the black sheep of the family, but didn’t they choose it for themselves? It can be difficult to in…

Above all, your family should always be your top priority. Since none of us have any control over the others in our family, we must establish boundaries if we want to lead a calm and peaceful life. The original poster (OP) and her father had always been very close. But when her mother decided she wanted to build a relationship with her husband's long-lost father, despite her husband's strong objections, things took a bad turn.
