Parents scold 25-year-old son for refusing to babysit his 18-year-old sister for a weekend: ‘She is a fully functioning 18-year-old. My wife and I also live about a 5-minute drive away from their house.’
What is their problem? How old were you when your parents started letting you stay home alone? I was about 10 or 11 when I could stay home by myself for a couple of hours at a time. My sister and I still had a babysitter if my parents were out for the night, but …

Dad forces 21, 23, and 27-year-old children to call his wife «bonus mom,» refuses to let them call her anything else even though it makes them uncomfortable: ‘Our dad says it “makes her happy” and to just do it.’
There’s always a lot of discussion about the nickname a grandchild will call their grandparent. It seems like there are very few families where «grandma» and «grandpa» will suffice.

There are benefits and downsides to being in a smaller family. One of the benefits I reaped was that I was rarely, if ever, demoted to sit at a paltry kids’ table during extended family dinners or holidays.

Jaded filmmaker causes controversy trashing millennials who are a part of fandoms in their 30s and 40s: ‘My most boomer take is that millennials did ruin a lot of things’
There has long been a discussion about the Gen Z and millennial refusal to grow up. Is it entitlement, economic pressures, or simply a change in the social tide?

Wife wants to send back $7000 wedding gift because husband’s dance with sister was ‘too intimate’: ‘The gift just made her feel insecure’

Birthdays are the one day a year when you should be allowed to do whatever you want. I’m not talking about Purge-style crimes against society, but I mean getting to spend the day however you want to. We don’t get to do that any other time of the year, so we should take advantage of it …
