How the Grinch stole Thanksgiving.

Just a measly 50k

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Though we’re passed the hump of our precious turkey holiday, the post- Thanksgiving family stories never fail to keep us engaged after the fact. Whether it’s your Aunt Sarah’s bashful and brazen personal questions to your boyfriend, or your Uncle Victor’s terrible impression of Jerry Seinfeld, there’s always something to debrief and gossip about. If there’s one thing the holidays are good for, it’s our ability to indulge in food and family dram…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Parenting is never easy, not when you’re married and planned for it, and not when you’re unmarried and conceived by accident. Bringing a child into the world is life changing, and should never be taken for granted. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, it centers around a couple who had a child while they were young and out of wedlock. They weren’t married, and they broke up before the ba…

Relationships are never black and white, but this one has too many shades of gray for us to get behind. This husband and wife can't seem to get on the same wavelength, and his hands may have been tied a little too long (and not in the way you'd want to be tied). His wife prioritizes everyone's input when it comes to decisions about their son, and it consistently comes before her husband's, crossing one too many red lines. If you care more about your sister's approval of your son's name than you…

Way to jump to conclusions...

Epic win! XD

This lady needs to get her just desserts...

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Jealousy is one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s as if someone is pouring icy, freezing cold water slowly into your mouth and all you can do is stay paralyzed in the purgatory of pain as your stomach slowly starts to ache and you feel yourself becoming numb. One of the worst parts about jealousy is that no one else is burdened from the suffering except you. Your partner doesn’t care, and whoever is making you feel jealous doesn’t either…

We all cancel plans here and there

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all remember being in elementary school and going door to door selling wreaths, chocolates, magazines, or any number of other items for fundraisers. Come to think of it, I don’t remember any prizes back then either, but that’s besides the point. It’s never a good feeling when you work towards something and get nothing in return, and an even more frustrating lesson to learn when you’re a kid. This brings us to the Reddit story. In this thread…

A Bickering Battle of Love

Overthinkers Unite

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Family should be people we can trust, our inherent love and support in the dastardly universe. Not being able to rely on family creates a whirlwind of internal emotional issues that aren’t easily remedied. Trust should predicate upon family relations, and without this tether to your roots, it can be difficult to navigate adult relationships forever. Despite familial bonds that should be our source of comfort in the world, no one likes when rumo…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s not easy growing up in a blended household. Step-parents and step-siblings may feel like foreign bodies to a child forced to live under one roof with them, as if they were aliens, or weird roommates just living in your home. Even seeing your parent with another partner besides your bio parent can be damaging, but there’s not much one can do in situations like these. Therapy could help, but when you’re young it can be worthless, and sometim…
