Who do they think they are? If you didn’t grow up going to see theatre shows, you might not have been taught theatre etiquette. If you’re going to see a Broadway show or a local children’s production, the rules are generally the same. You shouldn’t talk during the show; you should applaud after musical numbers; …

Recruiter begs Gen-Z professionals to stop bringing their parents to job interviews: ‘Candidates between the ages of 17 and 28 have shown up at the interview with at least 1 parent.’
Who is bringing their parents to their job interviews? Helicopter parents are such an interesting breed and far more common than you’d think! I’m not talking about parents who want their kids to call every day or share their location, although those are admittedly early markers of helicopter parenting. I’m talking about the moms who …

Kindergarten teacher has 1 student every year who has never colored, written, or drawn anything with a writing utensil before: ‘They have to be explicitly taught how to apply pressure to write on paper.’
Should kids know how to write their own names before they start kindergarten? It’s no secret that many kids are getting left behind in the education system. When I was a kid, America was all about not leaving kids behind in this exact setting (when I was a kid, I thought that policy was about …

Bride refuses to let 6-year-old flower girl wear her princess dress to her wedding, despite her sister’s insistence that her daughter wear the princess dress: ‘It’s her signature, and she feels more comfortable in it.’
Why is her mother encouraging this? One of the worst things about weddings is that everyone likes to make it about themselves. A lot of wedding guests don’t care if their behavior upsets the couple getting married because they’re accustomed to getting their way, even when the event isn’t about them at all. The little …

Dad refuses to play with his son because he read somewhere that spending time with his child will lower his testosterone: ‘Let him figure out whether child support lowers his testosterone.’
He sounds like the father of the year. You don’t have to be a deadbeat parent to be a bad parent. Living in the same house as your children, without technically abandoning them, does not make you a good parent. In fact, some would argue that an absent parent should be physically absent. If you’re …

Blue-collar dad asks his daughter’s 23-year-old boyfriend to loan him $8K to repair his bathroom, daughter discourages him from giving her dad money: ‘Frank still owes her 20-year-old brother $2K from a truck repair.’
Why should a 23-year-old kid have to support his girlfriend’s father? It’s never a good idea to loan money to your family. If you really want to give money to your parents, grandparents, siblings, or kids, it should be a gift, not a loan. Giving a generous cash gift does not irrevocably change your relationship …

17-Year-Old Niece Gets a $200 Ticket Driving Her 54-Year-Old Uncle’s Car, 17-Year-Old And Her Mom Expect Uncle to Pay For it: ‘She said it’s my responsibility as an adult.’
Why should the uncle have to pay for it if he wasn’t the one speeding? You can’t always trust people with your car. It doesn’t matter how much they beg and plead: a car is not something that you should lend out to just anybody. You need to be able to trust that the person …

Dad refuses to make the school lunches his 3, 5, 7, and 10-year-old kids requested while their mom was out of town on vacation: ‘I am not making 4 separate gourmet lunches.’
Is the mom being too accommodating to her kids, or is the dad being lazy and uninvolved? When I was a kid, I got the same lunch basically every day. I got a sandwich, baby carrots, and an apple. As an adult, I continue to eat lunches that are minimalist and easy to make, not …

Dad didn’t feed his 5-month-old baby while Mom was out for hours, claiming it was because she didn’t leave instructions: ‘Had I not come home, baby wouldn’t have eaten for 5 hours or more.’
He knew she would be gone for that long, and she had left instructions! One of the most important decisions you can make in your life is who you get married to. If you get married to the wrong person, and you will know if you do, you need to make sure you don’t have …

Parents take 60% of their 21-year-old son’s paycheck, eat all of his food, and ban him from cooking after 7:45 PM: ‘My dad has been unemployed since January.’
They are taking advantage of him, and he needs to leave them behind. If your parents are asking you to pay rent to live in your childhood home, there’s a good chance they don’t even want you to pay rent and just want you to move out. Many parents are willing to be a soft …
