Most families don’t get together that often. If people live in different states, and sometimes even different countries, getting everyone to be together at the same place and same time is not an easy task. That’s partially why we have holidays. Thanksgivings and Christmas are classic holidays that invite families to come together again after …

Wife bans husband from Thanksgiving dinner after he refuses to go grocery shopping, spends the holiday with her parents instead: ‘he snapped at me’
They say it takes a village to raise kids, and while that’s completely true, there are a few other domestic elements that would benefit a lot from having a village working on them. Like the preparation for Thanksgiving dinner. Every year, we all tell ourselves that we will start preparing for Thanksgiving as early as …

15-year-old made cilantro rice for family dinner, despite her 16-year-old sister being severely allergic to cilantro: ‘Everyone else in the family likes cilantro. I don’t see why you can’t just eat something else if you don’t want to at least try it’
She’s either stupid or malicious, and I’d bet my hat on the latter. Allergies are not to be messed with, especially severe ones. One time when I was working as a cashier at a Chinese restaurant, a dude called in to order for pickup and said his wife was highly allergic to soy. He asked …

Couple walk out of father’s birthday dinner after 33-year-old son-in-law gets sat at the kid’s table: ‘He’s used to not being liked’
When it comes to finding a life partner, the person you attach yourself to romantically is only a part of the story. Most of the time, being in a committed relationship means that you have to be comfortable with your partner’s family as well. In-law relationships have a reputation for being difficult, and they can …

18-year-old brings 38-year-old friend as date to family dinner to call out her 45-year-old dad for cheating on her mom with a 20-year-old: ‘I know it’s extremely immature of me, but I wanted to show him how it feels’
Everyone feels differently about age gap relationships. I know someone who is in her mid-twenties, and literally thinks it’s unethical to date anyone younger than her. If we could only be in relationships with people who were born the exact same year as us, that would make love and relationships borderline impossible. While most people …

16-year-old graciously cooks his family’s nightly dinner, stops when his dad and siblings incessantly criticize his meals: ‘Too spicy, wanted rice instead of noodles, didn’t want soup’
There are some household duties that typically constitute a kid’s chores; cleaning your room, taking out the trash, and doing the dishes are chores kids of any age can do. Cooking dinner every night for your entire family is typically not one of them, but that was a chore assigned to a 16-year-old boy with …

Husband refuses to let his 6-month pregnant wife eat a burger because she served their kids first, against his wishes: ‘Now there’s no burgers for you because you wouldn’t listen.’
Some families take the order in which members are served at dinner very seriously. I never really gave much thought to the idea that children should eat first, the cook should eat second, and everyone else should eat last. In my family, we were so well-adjusted and normal that everyone got their food simultaneously and …

24-year-old woman walks out of family dinner after her 26-year-old sister berates her for ordering an entrée and a dessert: ‘She called me a spoiled brat for wasting food and our father’s money’
As you age, your exposure to random cruelty often decreases. The number of people who are the victims of browbeating in high school vs. college has to take a monumental downward turn, and it’s easy to see why. When you’re a kid, you have very little control over who you spend your 7-3 alongside. Teachers …

Aunt forces 25-year-old nephew to sit at the kids table, allows his 21-year-old brother to eat with the adults: ‘You’ve always been the fun one, the kids love you!’
There are benefits and downsides to being in a smaller family. One of the benefits I reaped was that I was rarely, if ever, demoted to sit at a paltry kids’ table during extended family dinners or holidays. There might’ve been a kid’s side of the table, but I cannot recall being segregated from adults …
