16-year-old son rejects mother’s apologies after she abandoned him and his younger brother for her affair partner’s kids: ‘She didn’t just cheat on dad but she was picking the guys kids over her own’
When a marriage comes to an end, whether that end was amicable or not, the children who are there to witness the dissolution will be affected no matter how kind both parents were to each other in the process. That’s just how things work in this world—children have big feelings for their tiny bodies, and …

19-year-old daughter refuses to babysit three half-siblings after dad asks her to help his wife, dad gets the rest of the family involved: ‘He’s trying to dump his problems on me’
If you want to have many children, but counting on the older ones to help out with the younger ones, maybe don’t have many children. Older kids are not there to bear the responsibility over their younger siblings. The fact that they are the oldest shouldn’t affect their own childhood, and they shouldn’t be expected …

Husband divorces wife for racking up $45K in debt from 7 different credit cards after he paid off the $60K in debt she had when he met her: ‘She even opened a card in MY name.’
It’s easy to look at Dave Ramsey and say he’s a little out of touch. I would think that a guy who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a month telling other people what to do with their money would be not only out of touch but a little bit scammy. I find his idea …

Having a big family has advantages and disadvantages, and that comes to no one’s surprise. On one hand, when you grow up with a lot of siblings, you always have someone to lean on. You’re never alone, always have friends, and you take care of each other, make sure no one gets left behind. In …

‘He wasn’t my dad… He was Greg’: 17-year-old son refuses to consider his stepdad a father figure after he falsely brags about being ‘the dad that stepped up’
Children of divorce usually have a tale or two about one of their parents failing to provide one thing or another for them after the split is finalized.

Divorced parents team up to force 17-year-old son to support their new relationships, insisting he treats their partners like parents, son refuses to comply: ‘Now they’re angry at me’
Every kid to divorced parents has found themselves being forced to pick a side in one way, shape, or form.

Dad serves as sole caretaker for his 2 and 4-year-old sons despite working full time and mom staying at home, mom threatens to split up the siblings if they divorce: ‘I don’t trust her to take care of Ivan alone.’
Ah, the equitable division of labor in and out of the home. It’s something that everyone, from roommates to couples to parents, aspire to, but few can achieve fully. You can’t always quantify chores down to the minutiae, nor should you want to. If I kept a log of every dish I washed and compared …

16-year-old tells his dad’s ex-wife/affair partner that he wouldn’t live with her if she was the only option he had, grandparents scold him for making her upset: ‘Dad’s parents are saying I’m turning into a really evil and cruel person’
It’s incredibly easy to overstate the dubious morals of cheaters. I don’t think that Ingrid Bergman should’ve spent as many years of her career as she did in retreat from Hollywood for the sole crime of having an affair, mainly because that affair-turned-marriage created someone as wonderful as Isabella Rossellini. If you’ve been tuned into …

‘This rule is controlling and unfair’: 25-year-old daughter refuses to abide by father’s ‘wish’ for her to never interact with his ex-wife’s potential partners for the rest of her life
Divorce is messy, upsetting, and messy again. Nobody wants to get divorced unless there’s a real reason for it… What that reason is, is up to those in the marriage. Typically, fundamental differences, infidelity, or more concerning issues are typically the root causes of a legal split. Amicable divorces are possible, but not always. This …
