Family vacations aren’t always purely relaxing. If you’ve ever been on one, you know this. Family dynamics don’t cease once you’re on a beach, at a hotel, or at an Airbnb. Everyone continues to be themselves, so conflict is still bound to arise if it usually does anyway. This is especially true if young children …

3rd grader cries after his teacher gifts him a new pencil case and pencils, says he doesn’t know how to be grateful for it: ‘It’s just that I already have pencils. Is this your whole gift?’
There’s a lot of theatrics involved when receiving a gift. Most of us are genuinely incredibly grateful when somebody thinks highly enough of us to get us a present, but our reactions can get over the top. I’ve been drilled from day 1 of being alive that no matter how you feel about a gift, …

‘I don’t feel like I need to apologize or justify my choice’: Mom gives son cash gift for finishing grad school, neglects to acknowledge daughter-in-law who graduated with him
Giving a gift is a great way to acknowledge that you’re thinking of someone. It doesn’t have to be much, but a little goes a long way. Some of the best gifts aren’t the most expensive ones, but the ones that show you know something about them and their interests. It’s also a way to …

Wealthy family member buys $2500 sweater for teenage boy, his mom calls it the dumbest thing she’s ever see: ‘Should I have said that? Probably not. Should anyone on earth spend $2500 on a sweater? Probably not.’
It can feel wild to accept a gift that is both extremely expensive and material. Accepting a check made out to you for $10,000 is one of the easiest things you can do, but when you know that someone actually decided to exchange $10,000 cash for a non-practical material object for you and you alone, …

Husband buys expensive designer purse for his wife, retroactively gives it to his materialistic 16-year-old daughter because she begged for it: ‘Her father had no right to give her my purse and that she needed to give it back to which she refused’
I’ve seen so many posts from married people with kids talking about the necessity of prioritizing their marriage first and their kids second. As a married person without kids, I feel incredibly qualified to judge them and say that they don’t have their priorities straight. In my mind, I feel like your kids and your …

‘This man doesn’t like you’: Helpless boyfriend neglects to give girlfriend a Christmas gift despite her begging for one
Giving a gift is a super easy way to show you care about someone. This is why it’s one of the 5 love languages. It shows that you’re thinking about them, and that you know something about who they are and what they enjoy. It doesn’t come naturally to everyone, though. Some of us are …

‘All the siblings got checks for $350, so I don’t think a card was too much of an expectation’: Girlfriend of 3 years buys Christmas gifts for all of her boyfriend’s family members, his family doesn’t get her a single gift for the 2nd year in a row
Complaining about not getting presents always feels a little bit wrong, even when you’re in the right. You’ve always got the idea that nobody is entitled to presents running through your head, not to mention the training your parents gave you in childhood to always show gratitude for a gift no matter if you hate …

Mom criticizes 16-year-old son for celebrating Christmas and accepting gifts from his paternal grandparents after they excluded his step-siblings and half-siblings: ‘I told her I wasn’t missing Christmas with my family’
I hate reading about situations where a child is stuck in the middle of adult problems. It is common to use children as bargaining chips in conflicts that have nothing to do with them, especially regarding visitation rights and blended families that they never asked to be born into. This makes it easy for children …

Ex-husband scolds the mother of his 3 children for not getting a Christmas present for the 4-year-old daughter that resulted from his affair: ‘He took out this dollar store doll and he told me that was all he could afford for his daughter’
A sad reality of the holiday season is that not every child will be visited by Santa equally. Some kids receive Dudley Dursley-esque quantities of presents, all of which have a fat price tag attached. Other kids will be lucky if they get socks and a cheap toy from the dollar store on the 25th. …

For those families who celebrate, Christmas is usually a time of year when making the kids happy takes center stage.
