Being a step-parent is a tough role to fill. You can have all the best intentions in the world and still end up alienating the child because at the end of the day, it’s not up to you, it’s up to them. Step-parents can have beautiful relationships with the kids in their lives, but just …

‘It’s my house my rules’: Son kicks out overbearing mom for continuing to make breakfast despite his wishes
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but apparently, that slogan was made up by breakfast cereal lobbyists. The most important meal of the day is whatever one you want it to me. Personally, I’m a breakfast believer, just because I love breakfast foods. Give me a fried egg, a …

‘They need their 25-year-old to subsidize their lifestyle’: Mom charges son $600 in rent, retaliates when he wants to move out
Living with your parents when you’re an adult is a tough gig. It’s nice to have a free (or usually cheap) place to land, but it often comes at a price. You usually forgo your privacy, independence, and some level of maturity. But it’s a tradeoff. Rent is incredibly expensive these days, no matter where …

‘I think both are just trying to overpower the other one at this point’: Wife wants to name daughter ‘hippy name,’ is shut down by traditionalist husband
Names are incredibly important. They’re your first impression of someone- the first thing they’re going to associate with you. We all have associations with names, good and bad. For example, I could never trust someone named Bridget, but I have good things to say about every Gloria I’ve ever known. Johns are extremely hit or …

‘Your sis had the golden goose of babysitters’: Stingy aunt charges teenage babysitter £20 for eating leftover cake
Unequivocally, to me, the best thing about birthdays is birthday cake. It’s the thing that turns a regular party with regular party snacks into a birthday party with a centerpiece of deliciousness. It’s not truly my birthday until I’ve had cake. And I’m not picky. Sure, I love a fancy-schmancy bakery cake or a beautiful …

‘You will go bankrupt paying the water bill’: Water-wasting boyfriend showers for 2 hours, loses girlfriend in the process
I love a good, long shower. Sometimes it’s the only thing that can heal me after a difficult day. I just stand there, not even cleaning myself, but just letting the water run down and listening to music. The water feels like it washes away all the worries and stress of whatever I’m going through. …

‘This guy is a huge financial liability’: Reckless boyfriend spends $42k on new car while asking girlfriend for help with rent
I’ve never been a car girl. I see cars as a means to an end, and I don’t get excited about what they look like or how much money they cost. The few times I’ve gotten into a Tesla (they’ve been Ubers) I’m always confused about where the door handle is and make a fool …

‘I can’t support both of us’: Entitled nephew threatens to kick aunt out of her own apartment
Living with family is… living with family. A lot of us did it for 18 years and never looked back. I looked back a little when I was first starting out and needed a little extra support, but living with family sometimes comes at a price. If you’re the one mooching, then the emotional weight …

‘I’m the one marrying your son, not you’: Monster-in-law wants ‘moment with her son at the altar,’ gets promptly disinvited from the wedding
Maybe I’m tripping, but I feel like moms of boys are usually a little weird. Maybe it’s just because it’s not a dynamic I relate to, but moms who are super possessive of their sons always freak me out. I get being protective, but sometimes it’s too far. I don’t wanna get Freudian, but there …

‘So NOW he wants to benefit from your hobby?’: Food influencer’s hater boyfriend wants in on her free food but won’t stop hating
Influencers. Whether you like them or not, they’re here to stay, and they’re all around us. I feel like everyone is an influencer nowadays. I’m surrounded by niche internet micro-celebrities and I hate it. Everyone has a brand, everyone has a take, and everyone is taking pictures all the time. But, I would never discourage …
