Widowed stepmother of 5 and 7-year-old boys refuses to be the legal guardian of her sister’s kids if anything ever happened to her and her husband: ‘I can’t handle 2 more traumatized children, not tomorrow, not in a year, never again.’

Becoming a stepparent is a big undertaking, but nobody expects to become the sole caretaker of their spouse’s children from a previous relationship. Usually, it’s a lift between you and your partner and their ex (and maybe even their ex’s partner), which allows for quality time with their kids without the pressure of usurping the …

Stepmom of 9 and 11-year-old boys repeatedly claims she’s their mom despite them having an involved mother who refuses to give her full parental access: ‘She introduces herself as the kids mom every single time’

When you marry someone who already has kids, you have to be incredibly sensitive about how you’re going to integrate yourself into these kids’ lives. After all, their mom or dad marrying someone else is way more difficult for them than it is for you, so in most cases, it’s best to take it slow …

Expecting mom of 2 toddler boys tells her girl-obsessed mother-in-law she’s having a 3rd boy even though she’s having a girl: ‘My MIL literally yelled “NOOOOOOOOO” when we told her the gender of our second boy’

Anyone who has ever watched a gender-reveal party reaction video compilation (try saying that word salad to an 18th-century farmer) knows that gender disappointment is a real thing. The most common lousy reaction is dads getting angry that their wives are having daughters and not sons. Gender technically is the dad’s doing, but that won’t …

28 Beard Memes for Beardies Celebrating World Beard Day

A beard is a powerful thing. It can save you from a weak chin. It can make you feel like a lumberjack or perhaps some sort of Viking. It can give your food crumbs a gentle place to land that isn’t the floor. It can give you something for which to buy various creams, oils, …

Mom complains to school that her 13-year-old son comments on his well-endowed teacher’s body, accuses her of not following the dress code: ‘I’m just a curvy girl and I physically cannot hide it’

I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be for a teacher to be constantly bragged with inane complaints from parents. I’m always wary of moms and dads who never assume that their kid might be the one in the wrong or are even just in need of a teachable moment that a teacher can’t provide. …

26 Wholesome Masculinity Memes for Dudes Who Rock

Dudes rock. Even though I’m not a dude, I can say that with my full chest. There are so many great guys in the world, and I think it is unproductive to approach the world as if every man is inherently violent and nefarious. Sorry, Andrea Dworkin, but I’m here to defend men a little …

Dude named Skyler claims giving boys a unisex name is unconscionably cruel, freaks out when brother-in-law named ‘Indigo’ disagrees: ‘He acted like I had demanded he name his son Ella’

I’m not completely sold on the idea that a name can determine your destiny. If I had gone by Emily instead of Emmy, I’d probably be the exact same person, but that doesn’t stop people from saying that I am not and could never be an Emily. The jury’s still out on whether being named …

Teachers Discuss How They Deal With Rowdy Middle School Boys

I don’t think it’s a controversial statement that middle school boys are the worst. I luckily only had to deal with them for a couple of years (shoutout to absolute menaces to society, Alex and Luke). Still, some unfortunate adults have made entire careers out of trying to control this demographic. Bless their hearts.  There …
