You don’t get to pick and choose when your child gets sick. Any parent will tell you that some of the worst times of their parenting lives were when their kids got sick. They’re not just talking about when they had to clean their kid’s vomit off the floor. They’re talking about the stress and …

34-year-old dad forbids ex-wife from putting a tracker on their 10-year-old son while he travels out of the country with him: ‘I think she wants to be able to track me.’
She has a history of stalking, and he’s the one with primary custody. Our culture has become increasingly comfortable with the idea of constantly having access to our friends, partners, and family members’ locations. The «Find My Friends» feature on your phone is useful, especially if you’re about to meet someone. You can see if …

Mom demands son applies for visitation rights with 14-year-old brother, he refuses due to his brother’s dad: ‘My gut is telling me that I don’t want to’
Putting family first isn’t always easy. Many would argue that it should be the simplest decision in the world to prioritize your close relatives, but real life proves time and again that circumstances can make that difficult in a way that is going to make things turn out worse for everyone. There are plenty of …

29 and 33-year-old sisters pressure their 26-year-old sister to give up custody of her 4-year-old because he prefers his dad: ‘If that’s how they feel, they should never have kids’
How could they say such a thing about their toddler nephew? Some people are truly clueless about the gravity of parenthood. They think that having a kid is as easy as having a goldfish in a bowl: as long as you feed them and clean them, you have done your job as a parent. But …

Mom refuses custody of her 8 and 9-year-old sons because they eat foods that her stepdaughter is allergic to: ‘She can’t eat peanut butter, eggs, cheese, strawberries, and chocolate’
Allergies are no fun. One of my best friends can’t eat mangos without her face totally swelling up, and I’d venture to say that’s one of the worst fruits you can be allergic to. Not because it’s in everything, but because it’s so darn delicious! My best friend from high school couldn’t eat strawberries, and …

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 …

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 …

Sibling refuses to loan brother $100,000 to fund legal custody battle over his child, claiming he has no chance of winning: ‘Better off accepting the truth and saving the money’
When you become a parent, the most important thing in the entire world should be your child, and only your child. There is nothing you wouldn’t do for them, no lines you wouldn’t cross, even if it is seemingly beyond your reach. And since your child is your first priority, sometimes you might expect your …

Grandparents of 1-year-old refuse to pay allowance to her mom’s family, insist on taking custody after their son’s passing: ‘It was honestly insulting’
Unplanned pregnancy might be a common occurrence, but that doesn’t make its consequences any easier to deal with. While it could be argued that nobody is ever truly ready to become a parent, there are definitely circumstances in which it is a lot more difficult and where unforeseen events can conspire to make the whole …

14-year-old who has been living with her aunt since she was 8 tells her mom, who she hasn’t talked to in 4 years, that she’ll never forgive her if she messes up her adoption: ‘My mom called my aunt crying about what I said and my aunt got mad at me’
My grandpa always said, «It’s tough being a kid,» and he was right. It’s easy for adults to look down on their struggles, assuming they’re unimportant because they aren’t paying bills or surviving in «the real world.» You couldn’t pay me to go back and live as a 14-year-old again. The problems I have regarding …
