You reap what you sow, honey

As a vegetarian gal myself, I hate being invited to dinner only for the hosts to act like me being vegetarian is the biggest inconvenience of their lives. I rather not come at all than have to sit through an entire dinner being lectured about my life choices, or worse, have to listen to countless jokes like – 'C'mon, just eat this one thing, the cow won't notice' or 'What more is there to live for other than the taste of animals?' That is why I set a rule with anyone I ever eat with–If you don'…

"She told me that they wouldn't bother to have such a small wedding"

Sibling rivalry gone wrong.

Family shouldn't be a one-way street

One of the most momentous days in your life is the birth of the first of your children. That marks the official start of your parenthood. On a day like that, one may experience anything, including fear, excitement, and delight. So, if your spouse hadn't been present during the birth of your firstborn, how would you have responded? The story below is an account of a frustrated husband. The original poster (OP) and his spouse had been married for a considerable amount of time. Not too long ago, t…

Whenever one holds an event of some sort, they might feel a strong need for everyone who attends to focus all their attention on the celebrator and no one else. During a wedding, for example, the bride usually hates when someone tries to steal her focus, and the same might apply to birthdays, baby showers, and funerals (kidding with the last one, I hope…). That is why I understand why the wife in this Reddit story was upset, and I can relate to her initial reaction. During her baby shower, OP's…

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…

When you marry someone, you are not just marrying them, you are marrying their entire family. This is not just a saying, this is something anyone who is in a serious relationship should keep in mind. If one doesn't have a good relationship with their partner's family, then one should get ready for some real challenges. That being said, the responsibility of maintaining a good relationship with the family lies both with the partner and the family, and both should be on their best behavior with e…

Different people have different dreams when it comes to their wedding. We all view that special day in our own unique way, and we all deserve to make that dream a reality, whether it is a big wedding with hundreds of people or a small ceremony with only the happy couple. That being said, when it comes to family, I believe it is important to be as transparent about your wedding day as possible. Sure it is your special day, but your family deserves to know where they stand in regards to that, and…

Not just any seat—her seat at the head table during the reception.

As much as parents love to say they don't have a favorite child, everyone knows that is completely untrue. The parents know it, the kids know it, and even the cat knows it. They can try the hide it, and if they do it well, the favoritism can go undetected for a long time, but at some point, the small actions towards a specific kid pile up and the truth comes out. For example, I have two sisters, and all three of us know that my parents love my younger sister the most. They spoiled her more grow…

Those aren't real friends.
