Getting your child to school every morning is one of the top tasks of being a parent. It’s part of the gig. You either have to do it yourself or rely on someone else in your community (a neighbor, a friend, a bus driver) to do it for you. That’s why when they get to …

‘Do you like to refuse to show empathy?’: Judgmental grandmother refuses to take care of 3-year-old and 4-year-old while her son takes 1-year-old on a trip, calls it ‘favoritism’
Favoritism is not something you want to get accused of as a parent. If you have more than one kid, you should do your best to love them and support them equally, since they’re all your kids. And it’s just a good example to set for them. But it’s also incredibly common that parenting styles …

Husband gets angry when wife says ‘What’s the story macaroni’ to her 5-year-old and 4-year-olds, tells her it’s ‘childish’: ‘Tell him to lighten up’
Children are notoriously hard to calm down. They will get upset at something that doesn’t make sense to you, like not being able to have ice cream for dinner, and then nothing will make them feel better. You try reasoning with them, you try bargaining, you try bribes… you do whatever it takes to get …

Neglectful 22-year-old mom brings 5-year-old and infant to haunted house despite friends warning, the kids have meltdowns: ‘Those poor kids’
There is such a thing as too scary. For me, that bar is pretty low, and I’m a fully grown adult. Some parts of Ghostbusters are too scary for me. But when I was a kid, it was even more so. Everything seems so big and scary and real when you’re a kid, and you …

Choosy beggar mom asks for free childcare from stay-at-home sister, demands she make separate meals and keep a separate schedule: ‘She’s being such a diva’
There’s a classic phrase that says beggars can’t be choosers. It follows that if you’re asking for something for free, you can’t really be particular about what you get. After all, nobody truly owes you anything. If, for example, someone came over with a tray of cookies just because they were being nice, I wouldn’t …

‘You aren’t starving your children’: Overstepping woman criticizes how brother-in-law feeds his children, calls it ‘insanity’ that they have more than 3 meals a day
Feeding oneself is one of the hardest things we have to do as adults. You’re telling me I have to wake up every day, decide what I’m going to have for breakfast, decide what I’m going to have for lunch, and then decide what I’m going to have for dinner? You have to be kidding. …

‘I thought she was joking’: Mom of newborn asks for a new car for ‘push present,’ husband responds she’s not worthy
Social media changes our real lives in so many unexpected ways. We’re more aware of how we look on camera, which has led to a rise in cosmetic surgeries. We’re more closely locked into trend cycles, which causes styles to come and go at a rate hitherto unknown. And we’re inventing new phrases and words …

Parents expect 23-year-old pregnant daughter to take care of her young half-siblings, scold her when she sets boundaries: ‘They pushed you one step too far’
«Parentification» is a word that we should all come to learn, and fight against. It means what it sounds like it means– turning a child (usually an older sibling) into a parental figure, even when they’re just a kid themselves. It’s a prevalent issue and can turn families inside out. Just because you were born …

Ex-wife destroys 14-year-old daughter’s $2.7k gaming laptop, refuses to reimburse ex-husband’s wife who bought it: ‘Time for small claims court’
For a ton of people, the most expensive thing they own is their laptop. (Most people in my generation don’t own houses and maybe never will). It’s an investment that we feel we must make, and a necessary one if we’re in school, and if something happens to it it can feel disastrous. They’re fragile, …

Husband misses the birth of his child, is upset that wife lords it over him whenever they argue: ‘I told her she needs to get over that’
There are a few events in life that you probably shouldn’t miss. The first day of school, your wedding, and the birth of your child… if you can help it. Those things happen once and never happen again, so to miss them is a little worse than missing an episode of Succession (although there’s really …
