Dad excludes 20-year-old son from wedding photo with his 2nd wife, her children, and his 18 and 16-year-old children: ‘Let’s just do the core family first’
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 like baseball.

Everything could be technically «free» if someone else pays for it, but planning your wedding around the expectation that all of your guests—family, friends, and work buddies—will front the cost isn’t following the trendy «free wedding» style; you’re just freeloading. Recently, a trend has been going around promoting «free» weddings, or events that are essentially …

‘Is this like a generational thing that’s normal??’: Gen Z bride-to-be tries to crowdfund wedding and honeymoon by posting Cash App links to everyone she knows, leaving her sister and family baffled and embarrassed
I’ve heard my fair share of creative wedding stories, but I’m pretty sure this one takes the cake, that is, if the guests are willing to pay for said cake because it looks like Gen Z invents a new level of matrimony multitasking by asking friends, family, and even that barista from last summer for …

‘My backyard looks like a construction site’: Dad insists on using 29-year-old daughter’s yard as business storage, flips out when she tells him to stop
