Women are constantly policed about what we wear, no matter what age we are. I was being told my shorts were too short before I was even double digits. Even if someone doesn’t directly say, «You need to change into different clothing,» women and girls are judged and heavily socially encouraged to dress a specific …

Parents berate mom for feeding their kids cake and soda at her son’s 6th birthday party: ‘If you don’t stay at the party or say anything about dietary restrictions, can you really be upset afterward?’

I don’t care how healthy your family is: you should let your kid have birthday cake.

But outright banning them from consuming sugar during any occasion is wild. They should at least be …

Grandparents show up to 14-year-old granddaughter’s birthday party 2 hours late, get angry that they started the party without them: ‘I even called them the night before the party and reminded them that we would start at the given time.’
