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 …

22-year-old exposes 43-year-old uncle’s $700 unpaid debt to him during a family dinner after uncle brags about booking a trip to the Maldives: ‘You can afford all that but not repay my debt’
Money can cause a lot of issues. Though just a piece of little green paper, money makes the world go round (or, it makes the world stop spinning). We all bow down to the dollar because it’s what we use to acquire things—food, housing, trips to the Maldives—you name it! Lending money to people is …

‘Tone it down?’: Mom demands her son’s girlfriend to dress ‘less woke’ for the family Christmas party, claiming it’s a bad example for the children, ends up alienating her son for the holidays
If anyone with a boisterous personality gets told to ‘tone it down,’ in all likelihood, that’s just going to fuel the rebel fire in their soul and make them ramp it up a bit. Like when someone tells you to ‘calm down’ when you’re in a fight, more often than not, that demand is going …
