Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Parenting is no walk in the park. One wrong comment, one slip of the tongue and a curse word comes out, next thing you know your kid is blabbing profanity during his daily ambulations to school. Albeit kids minds are incredibly impressionable, they’re also malleable, and you can out teach them learned behaviors. It’s important to teach your children moral and ethical lessons, or they could wind up doing something with more consequences than it’…

So uncalled for!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Some people have strict protocols when it comes to lending money. Some might lend it frivolously, while others choose never to mix money and relationships . To be honest, I’m on the side of the latter; I think someone has to be in extremely dire need of money to feel justified in lending them money, unless it’s small amounts. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who’s already lent his brother a large sum of money, expecting…

She did what had to be done.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. These days it’s more common to uninvite someone to your wedding than it is to just invite them. The scandal that someone is omitted from the gathering will cause gossip for years to come, and let’s face it, what’s a wedding without a little drama? Everyone has their own reasons for doing so, and some are more valid than others. But when one goes around mocking your soon-to-be brother-in-law publicly, I’m not sure what they expect to happen. If…

This has to be a trick.

When it comes to free babysitting, no one should actually feel they're obligated contribute when it's not their kid. We're all aware of the notion that some people don't like kids at all, only their own, and some people don't even like their relatives kids! There's only a certain amount of empathy one can hold for others , and if personal boundaries are stepped over, then it's up to the person to redraw the line. In this reddit thread, it's about just that. The original poster (OP) is a woman w…

Ignorance is bliss, a common and quotable phrase that everyone can resonate with. There’s two types of people: one that needs to know everything they don’t want to hear, and the one who wants to be blind in blissful ignorance. Once you know something, you can’t unknow it. Once you know something, it could haunt you for years to come, and at the end of the day if you can’t do anything about it, it could very well be useless to have found out. The truth is a tricky, daunting, and fickle subject.…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. I think we can all agree that it would be ridiculous to wear white to someone’s wedding, right? For some reason there are countless people who don’t understand this, and don’t adhere to it. I guess they think the wedding is more for them and less for the people getting married. Some people just think the world revolves around them. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who got married, in conjunction with a bit of family dr…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Sometimes, you've got to get creative.

There comes a time in most people’s lives when they realize that their parents will age, and someone will have to take care of them. Some siblings have the whole plan worked out from childhood; the one who will be the caretaker, the one who might have to take them in, and the one who doesn’t want the burden. It’s a sad realization, but something that most people have to deal with. It’s not easy to watch your parents age, but it’s also a natural part of life. In this Reddit thread, the original…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. There’s a lot of heat and contention around free babysitting. When you’re related to someone, there’s a certain level of expectation that they’ll help out with things for you. Family supports one another, that’s just ingrained in being a family. But being in a family also carries its own dynamics and need for boundaries. You can go out on a limb and help a family member, but if it’s a constant thing, or something they could easily handle alone,…

Insecurities: we all have them, no matter how beautiful we are, how successful, or how much we fight them, everyone has their own insecurities. They’re masterfully specific too, I truly believe that no two insecurities are alike. Maybe on the surface they come out as a certain type of jealousy, but their origin always holds its own unique tale. They could stem from our childhoods , from the way a parent has treated us, from an event on a school playground, but they’re intersected with our inner…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Being a parent isn’t always easy. You’re always tied between your instincts, and wanting to protect your children. How do you know what decision is the right one until you’ve made it? It’s impossible to know beforehand, and you just have to hope for the best with difficult situations. How much truth is too much truth? How do you navigate the burden of revealing terrible news? This brings us to the Reddit story. The original poster (OP) is a wom…
