There was never a time in my life when I had to dress up formally more than when I was in high school. Maybe this was more of a Southern thing, but it felt like every weekend of every spring, there was a gala, a banquet, or a dance where I had to wear a …

Dad forces 18-year-old son to pay rent or get out, allows 22 year old unemployed son to live with him rent free: ‘I’m getting punished for my brothers actions’
If I’ve learned anything from my extended family, it’s that you should not let your adult son live in your house rent-free for years with no job and no prospects. When I was a kid, teenager, and college student, one of my biggest fears was that I would never be able to get a job, …

‘It is not your sister’s fault that she is accomplished’: Envious sister lashes out at ‘golden child’ sibling for not being celebrated equally
I was an only child, so I never had the pleasure of being compared to my sibling. This didn’t stop my parents from comparing me to their friend’s kids, so I know how real the pang of comparison is. Everyone has their own talents, and some of them are more easily discovered earlier in life. …

It’s all good to help someone out when they’re in need; this is an essential part of being a family, friend, or even part of a community.
