Daughter-in-law refuses to spend Christmas with her mother-in-law because she forces her to cook, clean, and serve the family when she visits: ‘It’s not a vacation for me at all.’
She’s not their servant. There’s nothing fun about being a guest at someone else’s house and being expected to cook, clean, and take care of the home as if it’s your own. There are some things you can do to be a good house guest, like bringing a gift for the hosts or helping with …

72-year-old claims his 35 to 45-year-old kids don’t work as hard as he did, despite him receiving $1500 a month since he was 18 years old from a trust fund: ‘They want everything handed to them without effort.’
He can’t even acknowledge that he’s had a considerable boost in life that has nothing to do with him working hard.

When you lose a parent, it feels like a piece of you was stolen, never to be found again. The void that a parent’s passing leaves in your life is something immeasurable and, quite frankly, unbearable. It feels criminal when the sun is shining, when you smile in a world they no longer exist in. …

35-year-old single woman skips Thanksgiving after her mom calls her an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now: ‘Everyone else has a family. Doesn’t that make you lonely?’
She’s better off happy and alone than miserable and married to a loser. Treating one child better or worse than another is unjustifiable in 99% of cases. I’m not talking about garden-variety variations, where parents are slightly closer to one child because of common interests, but don’t give that child unearned privileges just because they …
