Entitled parents belittle grandmother for taking their kids to Epcot while babysitting: ‘She was distraught over missing their first Disney trip’

There are some parents out there who are obsessed with their children’s «firsts.» I can understand that a kid’s first words, first steps, and first days of school are all incredibly salient moments for parents to remember for the rest of their lives, even if their kids don’t retain them.

‘Your daughter is beautiful, she must look like her father’: Parents share the most patronizing parenting ‘compliments’ they’ve ever received

If there’s one group of people who knows how to be shady, it’s parents. Parents aren’t typically throwing shade at any rando who encounters their family.

Cruel stepdad criticizes 9-year-old for mourning his father: ‘You wouldn’t care this much if I died’

As someone who doesn’t have a stepparent, it can be easy to think that nefarious stepmoms and stepdads are a thing of fairy tales and movies.

‘[You] made us look like bad parents’: Dad sends daughter to school in pajamas after she refuses to get dressed

As someone who is not a parent but has watched a lot of Supernanny, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to get a kid to do something necessary when they refuse to do it. Crying, screaming, and carrying on are the top moves in the toddler playbook, and I wouldn’t wish them upon any …

‘My son and I have resorted to locking up [our things]’: Chronic donator gives away her husband’s tent, he charges her $300 for it

Giving things away can come from a kind place. If your best friend mentions that she needs to buy a turkey baster and you have an extra turkey baster that you never use, it would be foolish not to give it to her. However, just because someone is generous on the outside doesn’t mean they’re …

There has been a lot of talk about inflation recently, and I get it. When I go into a grocery store that sells pasta sauce for $11, I want to slam my head into a car door. That being said, there are some things that people claim are «too expensive» because of inflation when, in …

Selfish Fiancé Chooses Family Vacation Over Pregnant Partner Days Before Due Date

Having a child with someone should be an «all in this together» type of moment, but unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.
