One of the most important rules of etiquette is to never sell something that was given to you as a gift. I don’t care how much you hate it or will never use it: you either regift it to someone, throw it away, or let it sit in your basement for the rest of time. …

14-year-old puts fake spider in his shared bathroom to scare his 17-year-old sister who spends hours getting ready and taking selfies before school, making him late: ‘My parents are saying I traumatized her’
Most pranks do not teach people life lessons. Maybe Punk’d taught a few celebrities to be a little less trusting of absurd situations, but that’s not really a life lesson. There is only one prank show that taught people to be virtuous, and that is What Would You Do? What Would You Do is a …

Family therapist fires dad and his 2nd wife for treating his 16-year-old son so poorly, teen tells entire family about the firing: ‘[My dad] told me I’m trying to humiliate them’ ‘
It is pretty embarrassing to get fired for being a customer. It means the person providing you a service would rather not get paid if they don’t have to deal with you anymore. It would make me think if my personal trainer, cleaning lady, or piano teacher fired me. It’s not like the people working …

The Most Entertaining Parenting Texts of the Week (May 13, 2025)
You can tell a lot about somebody’s relationship with their mom based on how they text her on Mother’s Day. I didn’t exactly text my mom on Mother’s Day because I FaceTimed her instead. I would find it kind of odd if I only said «Happy Mother’s Day» over text instead of with my own …

13-year-old lies about his mom having a new boyfriend so that his dad will take full custody of him, dad doesn’t find out about lie until months later: ‘She wasn’t dating anyone and my son had lied about her mother no longer wanting him at home’
When I was a kid, I knew I could never say something to my mom without my dad finding out immediately after. It kind of stinks when you’re a kid because sometimes you really want to complain about your mom to your dad without her finding out (and vice versa). You feel like you can …

‘Do not homeschool your kids. You are NOT up to it.’: Former homeschoolers share why they think parents should not homeschool their kids
Homeschooling is one of those things that everyone has a strong opinion about. As a public schooler for life, I can’t speak to the experience of kids who were never in a traditional school environment, but I know for certain that I would’ve hated it. I love being around people, and I get kind of …

If we’ve learned anything from perusing the various text conversations between strangers on the internet and their parents, it’s that some texting habits need to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible. When I was in college, I had to tell my mom to stop tracking my location and asking about why I …

Mom tells the father of her 10 and 13-year-old daughters that her 2nd husband is more of a man and a better father than he’ll ever be: ‘My daughters were there. I’m so tired of them hearing Trevor just belittle James.’
Kids are smarter than we treat them. If there’s a rancid vibe in the room during Christmas with your extended family, and you, as parents, don’t acknowledge it, the kids will still pick up on it. They will wonder why they have such a terrible time at Grandma’s house, thinking they’re not doing a good …

50-year-old refuses to forgive his father for badmouthing his late mother and swindling him out of his $16K inheritance when he was 25-years-old: ‘His sister is now asking me to forgive him’
It’s difficult to accept that you’ll never get back something that was stolen from you. If your best friend stole $500 from you and refuses to pay you back, you might think for one solitary second that if they just apologized, admitted they were wrong, and paid you back in full with interest, your relationship …

35-year-old mother encourages her 5 and 8-year-old daughters to steal toys and clothes from their cousin, sister-in-law bans them from ever coming over to their house again: ‘Your daughter has more stuff than all three of my kids combined’
Everyone has that one family member they don’t feel quite right about. It’s usually someone who married into the family that you feel like you can’t quite trust, even if you have very little evidence to back up this suspicion. I’ve raised my eyebrows at family members who buy the kids in the family elaborate …
