Traveling for Thanksgiving weekend with your two small children is no small feat, but when this entitled mother got huffy with her fellow passengers on the plane, one man refused to yield to her every whim.

Mom of a 4-month-old bans her mother-in-law from taking care of the baby unattended after she puts sugary cereal in her son’s bottle: ‘She called me controlling, a helicopter parent, a bad parent, etc.’
Getting grandparents to adhere to newfangled standards of contemporary parenting is not always easy. Sometimes, you’ve just got to accept that they might not use gentle parenting language perfectly (praising a job well done instead of praising the effort specifically) or might raise their eyebrows about the rise of swaddling for increasingly big babies. You …

Woman charges sister and three kids $50 a night plus $100 cleaning fee to stay in her house for Christmas in response to their messy behavior: ‘Just say no’
Having your relatives stay with you is not always the most pleasant experience in the world, especially if they have kids. If you’re anything like me, you value your space and privacy. You love your home and have worked to have it the way that you like it. Odds are, you probably don’t take kindly …

‘She is distraught’: Mom takes away her 13-year-old daughter’s middle school graduation trip because she didn’t clean her room, texted her ex-boyfriend, and hung out with her friend too long at a school event
In parenting, as in the justice system, the punishment should fit the crime. Unfortunately, in both of those institutions, that doesn’t always happen. It’s obviously more damaging for someone to go to jail for 25 years for stealing some orange juice than for a kid to be grounded for 2 months for not cleaning their …

Pregnant woman and her husband try to alter annual family trip to remote Christmas tree farm because it isn’t kid friendly enough, dad refuses because it’s a tradition he cherishes: ‘What’s your problem, just do it for dad»
There are so many holiday traditions that we accept to make other members of our family happy. It’s a form of giving to see The Nutcracker with your mom every year, even though you really don’t care about the Sugar Plum Fairy and her journey. A dad might not particularly enjoy risking his hide to …

24-year-old stepfather asks 35-year-old stepkid to call him dad, stepkid refuses, leading to a family dispute when mom gets involved: ‘He was about to cry’
‘Delulu’ is a term youngsters are now using to describe people acting completely delusional, and even somewhat crazy, and I could not think of a better word to describe the guy in this story. As much as families are important, you cannot be forced to become family with anyone. Sure, you often don’t really get …

Overly-generous daughter doesn’t give mother her usual ‘monthly contribution’ so she can have spending money on vacation, mother becomes ‘cold [and] distant’

Mother-in-law and sister-in-law constantly mock woman for being named ‘Dove,’ try to call her ‘Diane’ because they think that’s a normal name: ‘[They] have pressed me on WHY I won’t change my name legally and why I use my name in daily life’
We live in an age where uniqueness is a virtue in baby naming. It makes sense that you would want to name a child something that you have no preconceived negative opinions about; who wants their kid to have the same name as that one kid in Elementary school who lobbed spitballs at your head …

Mom insists her former barista daughter make Starbucks drinks for 15+ members of her extended family, scolds her when she refuses: ‘My mom is upset, saying I embarrassed her’
Nobody wants to bring their work home with them. It doesn’t matter if you’re working on an oil rig, in retail, or even in radiology: time off from work is not when you want to be doing your job for free for family members. It’s undoubtedly one thing to willingly cook a Michelin star-level meal …
