Welcome back ladies and gents of the internet. The word ‘responsibility’ has a different ring as a parent. Your responsibility to your child cannot be compared to anything else. If you let someone else watch your kid, you have to know that what happens is out of your hands, and that if you don’t meet them at the promises you made, you could be disappointed in the end. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who’s agreed to be his nephew’s babysitte…

"This wasn’t just a betrayal; it was a violation of trust."

There's a difference between 'family helps family' and 'family is entitled to your money.'

Welcome, internet-lurking ladies. Hosting dinners and events is an art form. Even small gatherings take a lot of effort and careful planning; buying groceries, cooking a meal, and dealing with cleanup is only the tip of the iceberg. Good hosts must also find a suitable night for all guests, tidy the home and rearrange furniture, and ensure everyone's safety for a great dining experience. Unfortunately, in our story today, our protagonist's mother decides to actively ignore the last point, putti…

She could have just watched it after work!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. No job will ever be perfect. If it’s not the pay, it’s the commute. If it’s not the commute, it’s the job itself. And if it’s not the job itself, then it’s your coworkers. People spend one third of their life at work, so everyone wants it to be under pleasant circumstances. In my opinion, you can hate your job, but if you hate the people then you’re doomed. The people you work with make or break the work environment. It could be your dream job,…

Welcome back CheezCake folks. Marriage is a constant tugging and thrusting on the tether between you and your husband. This oscillation can be enervating, but those sacred words “I do” don’t seem to care about your struggles. “Through thick and thin” and through arguments, disagreements, and exacerbated conversations that seem to go in circles. It’s true that it’s all part of the marriage agreement, and communication and calmness will come in handy when things get too heated. It’s always wise t…

"His attitude is the real problem."

Some moms are blessed with great mothers-in-law. Others, not so much...

Did she accidentally stumble into an episode of The Handmaid's Tale?

That's just cruel...

You just had to be there.

Betrayal is a sting that even the thick-skinned and strong-willed can still get scathed by. When you marry someone, you expect to have your fair share of arguments, disagreements, and fights. You can anticipate hard times, but no one anticipates having their heart broken by the sundering of loyalty. It’s a different kind of pain, a pain that meditates in your heart and soul for longer than anyone ever wants to admit. Betrayal also wears many faces; it could be infidelity, lying, or simply hidin…

Teenage years have a glaring juxtaposition; on one hand, you’re still not seen as legal adults, and you’re taken care of financially and logistically by your parents. But on another hand, you’re under their reign, their influence, and their control. It feels like a life so far away now, but the teenage years, although frought with carefree, playful times with friends, are also burdened by the memory of being forced to do your parent’s biddings…chores, errands, carpools, it seems like a worse ve…

Some people are more in tune with time than others. I personally have many friends that no matter how many times you remind them to get ready, or how much time you give them in advance, they will always be late. I choose to see it as endearing, knowing that they’re not doing it out of malice or immaturity. To be honest, it’s sometimes even cultural. Though countries like Japan and Germany run to the T, other countries aren’t as prompt in their adherence to time’s ticking clock. So what happens…
