Divorced woman refuses to let her 2 ex-stepchildren stay at her house when her biological daughter does, her ex-husband insists despite the children’s rejection of her as a mother figure years ago: ‘[The children] told me I was cruel’
When a family separates, how do you reconcile with a new normal? How amicable were the divorce proceedings? Do you have children together? Now ex-stepchildren? Typically, a court helps the two adults flesh out the details, and that’s enough. However, many adults who ultimately become single parents of multiple children might find it unfair that …

Dad pesters his half-unconscious wife with a 104-degree fever, asking her how to get their 4 kids ready for bed: ‘I just snapped and told him to figure it out on his own’
There’s nothing worse than getting sick when you have small children. If you get sick when you’re childfree and can take a couple of sick days off work, it obviously still feels horrible, but at least you can focus your attention on actually getting better. Even if you’re a parent to older kids, they can …

Mom of 4-month-old leaves home for an hour, husband sends her voice note of the baby crying: ‘I thought you would text me if something was wrong’
Once somebody becomes a parent, there is no going back from it. So long as a child is a part of a parent’s life, they have to accept that there will always be a part of them that is constantly on duty. They might get a break now and then, but nonetheless, choosing to bring …

Man goes on a solo trip to hike the Appalachian Trail, but is forced to cut the trip short, his wife refuses to do the same with her vacation: ‘He expects me to come home early too’
Even if you have the perfect relationship with your significant other, everyone needs alone time. You can’t spend every hour of every day with the same person, no matter how much you love them. So you don’t need to feel bad for being happy if your partner tells you they are going away on a …

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. I’m talking about purposefully excluding a child out of spite and …

Husband and wife ask husband’s parents to invest in their business, parents only agree to give the money to their son, wife cuts contact: ‘We had no idea what we were walking into’
Even if you have a great relationship with your in-laws, you should never willingly agree to a situation in which you owe them something. Owing anyone anything is a terrible situation to be in, so doing it with a family member historically known for making your life difficult is a foolish decision, and the story …

‘He felt like his entire life was a lie’: Family member informs their cousin’s husband that their cousin inherited a large sum of money from their grandparents while he has been working 3 jobs to keep their family afloat
Financial transparency is a significant pillar of any relationship. This isn’t to say that finances must always be shared, but both parties should always be aware of their partner’s finances to some degree. Why? If you’re considering building a life together or have already done so, money is typically a significant factor in those plans. …

Expecting mom refuses to name her daughter ‘Emmy Grace’ after her husband’s girlfriend of 6 years, who passed when he was 21: ‘He told me he wanted to use the names and he was putting his foot down’
There’s nothing inherently wrong with naming your kid after a late friend or family member. There are tons of kids who are named after family members they never knew because they passed away young, and all of those kids don’t have psychological issues stemming from the pressure of living up to their supposed greatness. There …

Couple making $400K a year pays $6K in rent and spends more money than they make every month: ‘My wife makes $220K and refuses to keep a budget’
Having a six-figure income doesn’t mean you’re rich. Many high earners should be wealthy, but are actually poorer than those who earn less money. They think that because they have a seemingly endless stream of cash flowing into their bank account, they don’t need to budget and ensure they’re saving as much as possible. They …
