That being said, if you do end up uninviting people from your wedding, you cannot expect them to buy you a wedding gift. No invite –…

was she justified?

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.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Parenting is a handful. It’s never been an easy job, and ideally, it would never be a job that only one person bears the full responsibility of. Back in the day, people were a part of communities. In these communities, they could rely on others to watch their children, other women and grandparents. Nowadays, there’s a lot (maybe too much) pride in what it means to be a ‘mom.’ Moms are supposed to be seen as superheroes, as people whose purpose is to sacrifice…
