Weekends are a beautiful thing, especially for people who have no children. I don’t know what I would do without them.

Husband throws a fit after wife chooses their 13-year-old daughter’s omelette in a cooking competition over his, claims she’s babying her: ‘Big man baby’
Children need positive reinforcement. If we were never told we’re good at something, or that our efforts paid off, we might never follow up on our interests.

‘Y’all were both kind of delusional’: Man asks his fiancé to re-home her dog after he moves in with 9-year-old daughter who’s allergic, she refuses
Allergies are no joke. If it’s an environmental one, like pet hair, then any space that has or has had a pet in it can become a no-fly zone for people with severe allergies. It’s just not worth the risk of a flare-up. But what happens when you’re dating someone that has a pet? Dating …
