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 …

43-year-old mom insists on wearing pimple patches to her sister-in-laws wedding to show her 13-year-old daughter that it’s okay to have acne: ‘She has struggled with cystic acne her whole teenage and adult life.’
Right intention, wrong time and place. It’s not very socially encouraged to be proud of your acne. Teenagers are put on intense medications like Accutane and do everything in their power to hide their acne from their peers. Not only does acne make you feel unattractive, but it can also be physically painful. One of …

19-year-old shames mother for having 3 children by 3 different members of the same family and for marrying his aunt: ‘My mother had a child with my grandfather, then she had a thing with my uncle.’
It’s Jerry Springer’s world, and he’s just living in it. It’s generally a good rule of thumb to avoid telling others how to live their lives. If your college friend is considering becoming a monk and you think that’s a weird choice, you could tell him that you think it’s a terrible idea, or you …

Dad refuses to force his popular 14-year-old daughter to sit at lunch with her twin sister, who eats alone every day: ‘Sara needs to learn to make it on her own and basically not piggyback off Mia.’
She doesn’t have to, but wouldn’t it be nice if she did? It’s easy to tell a kid in Elementary school to sit next to the kid who nobody else is sitting with to help make them feel included. Little kids are much more likely to actually take that advice because they are less self-conscious …

Dad leaves his fortune to his daughter 5 years before he passes, leaving nothing to his son, who barely saw him for 12 years: ‘My brother still thinks he is going to inherit a fortune and is already planning how to spend it.’
His dad should’ve told him that he was getting nothing when he was alive. Many people feel entitled to their family members’ money. We all know someone who thinks that they deserve thousands of dollars from their grandparents upon their passing, even though they made no effort to have a relationship with them when they …

Mom cries after 16-year-old daughter spills a dollop of sauce on the placemat, gets angry when her daughter laughs at her tears: ‘She said I was laughing at her misfortune and I’m creating so much more work for her.’
Don’t cry over spilled milk, especially if it’s not even spilled on the table. We all know people in our lives who freak out over minor issues. They cry and beg for forgiveness if they accidentally break a glass, as if that glass were a Fabergé Egg instead of something bought at Target ten years …

Grandma tells 40-year-old mom she likes her 4-year-old daughter more than her 3-year-old daughter: ‘She didn’t see anything wrong with saying that she preferred one of them.’
Even if you do prefer one grandchild over the other, you should never tell their mother that. None of us likes to think of ourselves as someone who would rank other people in their head. But come on, we all do it. We all have a favorite sibling with whom we like to hang out …

‘If I pay for it, it’s mine’: Daughter refuses to let mom read her therapy homework after mom claims she’s entitled to it since she pays for therapy, mom reads it anyway
Even if we don’t like it, many adults find themselves still leaning on their parents long after they thought they would. Adult life is a lot harder than we anticipated, and yes, that often means we still need our parents’ help even after we move out or spread our metaphorical wings. That doesn’t mean we …

Dad allows his 7-year-old daughter to stay up all night after she constantly resisted her 10 PM bedtime, cries from exhaustion during her after-school activities: ‘My wife questioned my parenting technique.’
Sleep hygiene is developed extremely early in life. My parents insisted that I go to bed by 8 PM every night until I was in 4th grade. I remember thinking it was absurd because everyone else in my class stayed up until at least 9 PM on school nights. Sometimes, I’d be going to sleep …
