What goes around comes around!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We’re all familiar with the phrase ‘kids will be kids.’ They’re not fully developed, and it’s obvious that we should give them excuses for certain behaviors. Now, there’s definitely a line, and there are things even young kids can be reprimanded for doing. Without proper discipline, kids that get away with misbehaving grow up spoiled and cruel, even narcissistic. It’s important to discipline children appropriately. In this Reddit thread, the or…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. With inheritance, things can become sticky, petty, and trivial. Suddenly everyone’s grudges come out, their animosity, and their deep seated unpleasant memories. Money and love should never work against each other, but for some people, money is a way to manipulate your loved ones, to gain power and control. As ugly as this kind of behavior is, it won’t be the last time that someone uses inheritance as power. Regardless of money, family dynamics…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We’re all familiar with the phrase, ‘family comes first.’ It’s a common phrase for a reason. Family should always be there for each other, it’s a built-in support system. When you’re down on your luck, you should always have family to turn to. But where’s the line? It doesn’t mean you should have your boundaries crossed, or that you need to be a doormat for anyone. There’s always a line, and navigating it is part of family dynamics. In this sto…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When someone has picked out a baby name and shared it with the people they know and love, it’s common that the people around them keep it in mind. Of course, it’s ‘only a name,’ but there’s a lot of meaning and associations in names. It’s the first thing people know about you, and it can have great effects on a person’s life. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, it centers around two sisters. The original poster (OP) is a woman w…

90s Rom-Com-Level Confidence

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Having ‘child free’ weddings are becoming more and more common. I mean, it makes sense. Who wants their wedding ceremony destroyed by screaming children, crying babies, or immature belligerence? It makes sense, yet if you invite your friends and family, there’s going to be a child related to them. It’s unavoidable, and if one wants to insist on their wedding being without children, they just need to know that either everyone is on the same page…

If you have a sister close in age, you probably laugh, cry, and fight just as loudly. The expression “go big or go home” might exist for this very reason. As someone with a sister, you can’t convince me otherwise. Once you both become mothers, one or both of you get to be the cool aunt, adding yet another thing—or rather, someone—to bond over. Plus, who doesn’t love free babysitting? Seems like a win-win to me! I bet that’s exactly what this pair of sisters thought, too… until this incident hap…

Oof, they took the bait!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In family affairs, it’s not always easy to keep your mouth shut. You go in and out of these feelings and thoughts, and sometimes it just builds until it explodes. Of course, it’s not always the best course of action to let things bottle, but if they do, at least stand behind what you said. Just remember, it’s better to air grievances privately, rather than publicly. In this Reddit thread, it centers around a family at dinner. The original poste…

Crazy how the guilt-trippers in these situations never offer themselves to help.

Balancing Boys and Ambitions

Respect goes both ways, sis

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Weddings should be one of the most significant days of someone’s life. People say it goes by in a flash, that the bride and groom barely have enough time or attention to really stay present to absorb everything that happens during their special day. Although weddings have a beautiful veil on the surface, underneath can be some motives and manipulations that aren’t exactly derived from a place of love. We’ve all heard of the infamous ‘Bridezilla…
