Aunt unfollows 13-year-old niece on TikTok, mom scolds her for hurting her teenage daughter’s self-esteem: ‘I unfollowed you because I don’t want a 13-year-old dancing on my page’

Her delivery left little to be desired. Children are incredibly sensitive, especially during middle school. I’ve lived 13 more years since I was 13, and I still remember some of the things that hurt my feelings back then. I was in a play called The Secret Life of Girls that best resembled an after-school special …

There is a long tradition of this, with shows like «Kids Say the Darndest Things» and «America’s Funniest Home Videos.» If you’ve been around …

16-year-old homeschooler refuses to speak to her parents until they enroll her in public school: ‘They didn’t teach me anything, I only know the very basics that you would give a kindergartener.’

She’s making pretty reasonable demands. Extreme circumstances require extreme measures to be taken. Being unable to do basic math at 16 is a pretty extreme circumstance, and a teenager in that situation will likely be desperate to obtain an education by any means necessary. That could include getting emancipated from their parents so they can …

Parent stalls returning a bento box that a teacher accidentally sent home with her kid in hopes she could keep it: ‘She was playing games with me’

As a parent, providing for your child, especially when you’re raising more than one, can be a major factor in your financial struggles. It’s not easy covering the costs of a home, groceries, health care, and spending money for oneself, let alone an entire family. That’s why it’s important to invest in quality items that’ll …

It’s been almost a week since Halloween. Be honest. Is there any candy left in your house? Mine is all gone, eaten quickly, as to respect my lack of self-control when there is any amount of candy in the house. It’s not an easy thing to control yourself around. A Reese’s Pumpkin is like a …

It’s almost time to trick or treat, y’all. Have you bought your candy yet? Halloween as a parent is a whole new level of Halloween. You go from being a casual observer to knee-deep in the holiday. You’re staying up all night sewing a costume because somehow you’re determined to prove that you’re a mom …

Stepmom and dad refuse to let 19-year-old college student come home for Thanksgiving, says she has to find her own place to live during summer vacation: ‘Nobody told me I was completely on my own now’

She shouldn’t have to live independently during the holiday season. I’m not on board with parents who kick their kids out of their house the moment they turn 18. I understand parents kicking out a 25-year-old who has spent their entire adult life as a NEET (Not in education, employment, or training), but 18-year-olds are …

Parenthood is all about compromise. But so is adulthood in general. So is life in general. You learn this from a young age. For example, if you live in a colder climate and celebrate Halloween. You’re probably so excited to go about the town in your costume. You picked it out and you’re thrilled to …

23-year-old single mom of a 1-year-old refuses to take in her friend’s 1, 3, and 7-year-old kids after they get taken away by CPS: ‘She insinuated that if her kids got placed with the state, it would basically be my fault’

She can’t house four children; she’s barely hanging on with her own baby. If you’ve ever been on an airplane, you know that in case of an emergency, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. That might seem like intuitive instructions, but many people instinctively help others before ensuring …

Parents force homeschooled 16-year-old to constantly play with his 11-year-old brother, refuse to let him make friends his own age: ‘I’ve only ever had one friend’

Both of these kids are desperate for a social life, and their mother won’t let either of them have one. Having a second kid doesn’t guarantee that your oldest will have a friend. A lot of parents have their 2nd child because they don’t want their 1st child to be a lonely only child with …
