Sisters who shunned their younger brother his whole life get angry when he refuses to babysit for them: ‘ I was not invited to even meet their kids when they were born’
Sibling dynamics can change a lot over time. My sister and I were much more adversarial than super friendly when we were kids. It’s not like we hated each other, but we would fight, she would bite, and looking back, our conflicts seem a bit trite. Some siblings cannot overcome their childhood rivalries and never …

‘They think I don’t need the money’: Babysitter Gets Short-Changed by Cheap Parents After They Find Out She Drives a Nice Car
If you went to the gas station and tried to give the cashier $1 for a gallon of gas, they’d probably laugh at you and send you packing.

‘Your family is enabling this toxic behavior’: Mom accuses sister of stealing her wedding ring after babysitting for free, continues to ask for free childcare
There’s a common saying, «You get what you pay for.» People usually use this when they’re talking about a cheap item they purchased that ends up breaking or otherwise being subpar. It makes sense. If you buy «AirPods» on Temu for $19.99, you’d be the fool for assuming they would connect to your phone. If …

Grandma cancels pool trip with her 7 grandchildren due to 8-year-old grandson’s misbehavior, angers his mother: ‘The group punishment made him unliked by the other kids’
We all know the feeling of being punished for someone else’s misdeeds. When you’re an adult, it manifests more subtly, like wondering, «Who ruined this for everyone?» when you see a particular rule. But when you’re a child, the Geneva Convention need not apply. It takes one kid being just enough of a stinker to …

Overprotective dad fires babysitter for allowing 4-year-old to eat 11 packs of gummy bears: ‘Nobody with judgment that poor should be trusted with anything of value’
The limit (or lack thereof) that you put on your kid’s sugar intake is one of those classic moral quandaries that can define you as a parent. On the one hand, giving them free rein to eat whatever processed garbage they feel like is probably going to end badly; on the other, if you strictly …
