13-year-old sister forced to raise 1, 3, and 4-year-old siblings instead of parents, she cuts contact completely 7 years later, refuses to reconnect despite their attempts: ‘I’m not your mom’
Which sibling has the worst fate? The oldest, the youngest, or those stuck in the middle? As a middle child myself, in most cases, I would say we have the worst fate. Our birth is not as exciting as the firstborn’s, and we definitely do not get as much attention as the youngest. We are …

‘It’s incredibly unsafe and illegal to have a baby in the front seat like that’: 24-year-old drive-thru worker confronts customer with baby in front seat with no car seat, mom claims she did it because the baby was crying
A lot of drivers are all too willing to break the rules of the road if they feel like they can get away with it. I don’t really understand why you would drive without a seatbelt or refuse to use your blinker, even if you don’t technically feel like you need them in that moment. …
