Even if you’re a parent to older kids, they can …

There is no shortage of debates in parenting forums about how to treat (or not treat) a child’s fever.

It’s sad to know you cannot always trust your closest family members in a medical crisis.

Stepmom refuses to fully pay her 20-year-old stepdaughter’s $3400 medical bill for swallowing an AirPod: ‘She claims that she swallowed her AirPod in her sleep and has no memory of it’

When do you stop being responsible for your adult children’s medical problems? The US government says that once you turn 26, you can no longer use your parent’s health insurance, but not everyone stays on it for that long. I’ve had my own insurance since I was 22, and some people get forced off of …

Mother-in-law calls her son 73 times during his wife’s C-section because she wanted him to leave the hospital and go to her because she’s sick: ‘I told her it’s not my fault she married and had kids with a deadbeat and to leave us alone’

I hate it when people don’t take care of themselves when they fully could if they wanted to. If you’re an adult and you get mildly sick, you can figure out how to get to the doctor and take care of your needs without someone tending to you at all times.  There are some exceptions …

Giving birth is never a walk in the park. Whether you have a natural birth or a C-section, your insides are going to exit your body, and that’s frightening.
