Polite woman refuses to look after 96-year-old neighbor, after already having her 76-year-old mother live with her, she claims the elderly woman has other grandchildren and enough money for a caretaker: ‘I’m not willing to give up any more time’
Helping out a neighbor now and then is completely fair. Helping out a 96-year-old lady who lives alone is even more expected. But taking on the role of the «always-at-your-service granddaughter» crosses that invisible line between the two houses. The problem with doing a favor, and the reason many people hesitate before stepping in, is …

Grandparents refuse to let 18-year-old granddaughter use their shower before prom, daughter-in-law refuses to visit them any more: ‘They have 4 full bathrooms’
Preferential treatment is something that happens in almost every family. A large number of people have favorite kids, parents, and grandkids, and it blatantly shows in the different ways that they treat them. It isn’t right, but that doesn’t stop it from happening. In fact, sometimes this only encourages it. It goes without saying that …

Grandparents show up to 14-year-old granddaughter’s birthday party 2 hours late, get angry that they started the party without them: ‘I even called them the night before the party and reminded them that we would start at the given time.’
Every party has a threshold for when it’s socially acceptable to be late. If your friend has a daytime birthday party from 4 to 8 and you show up at 7:30, that’s a tad bit impolite. Some might say it’s also disrespectful to show up to that event at 3:40, and I’m inclined to agree. …

18-year-old refuses to invite his parents to his high school graduation because they favored his 4 younger siblings over him for his whole life: ‘I got tickets for my grandparents instead’
It is virtually impossible for parents to treat all of their kids exactly the same. There will always be lessons learned with the older children that will influence how they treat the younger ones.

Father tells 6-year-old daughter that her grandparents are ‘stupid’ after they try to convince her that the boy who’s been bothering her at school is only doing it because he ‘likes’ her: ‘[Her grandma] thought the whole thing was “cute”’
Listen—we were all in elementary school once. Ladies were taught that the boys were only mean to them because they secretly had crushes on them, and girls were supposed to believe that without having a second thought. Why normalize this? In extreme cases, you might be setting the little gals of the world up for …

Grandma reads 15-year-old granddaughter’s diary despite being repeatedly told to stop, forcing mom to move daughter away from her: ‘You lost the right to be alone with my child’
When I was a kid, I kept my diary locked and hidden inside a pillow that I would sleep on every night. To be honest, I didn’t hide my diary this way because I was afraid someone would find it and read it; I trusted my family, and especially my parents, to respect my privacy …

Blended families are an increasingly common occurrence in today’s world, but that doesn’t mean that making them happy and harmonious is an easy task. Everybody is likely to have slightly different expectations coming into this situation, and chaos can occur when these don’t align with one another.

Any parent knows that in order to teach their children important life lessons, they must lead by example. No one can expect their children to learn and follow values if they can’t first follow the same values themselves.

‘They made no effort to be there for anything else’: Grandson cuts off entitled grandparents 5+ years ago after they ignored his strict boundaries, then want back into his life when he’s graduating from a prestigious university
When family decides they can treat you however they want, that’s when you start considering if DNA is as important as the public thinks it is in terms of familial-like relationships. Family doesn’t equate to support, and that’s clear in this next story. Not every elder believes that younger children deserve respect, which is an …
