Nobody is entitled to attend a fancy private school, which will undoubtedly have a positive impact on their life prospects.

Brother invites 22-year-old sister out for her birthday, refuses to cover the bill even though he had every year before: ‘If you invite your friend out to dinner and they order a ribeye are you still paying?’
Birthdays can randomly be pretty expensive. You might buy them a gift, take them out for dinner, or pay your way at an event. But this is the cycle of birthdays. You do unto others and you would have them do unto you. It’s just part of being a human with friends and family. Plus, …

Mom scolds her 20-year-old son’s 18-year-old girlfriend because he spent money on her against his mom’s wishes: ‘I think a relationship should be you both purchasing your own things.’
You should consider yourself lucky if you’ve never been in a relationship with a mama’s boy. It’s not that I think that men who are close to their mothers are inherently nefarious, but if they value their mother’s opinion above your opinion and their own thoughts, that’s a major red flag. It’s far less common …

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 …

Relative uses AI to alter cousin’s photo of their late grandmother, passes it off as his own: ‘That’s honestly a bizarre and weird […] thing to do’
Losing someone is not easy. There’s no way around it. And everyone grieves in different ways. Some might want to spend as much time as possible with their loved ones and folks who can help them through it. Others might want to retreat into themselves and want to spend time alone. There is no right …

‘She’s 23, loud, messy, unemployed more often than not’: Stepdad insists his daughter move into 26-year-old stepdaughter’s one-bedroom apartment rent-free, calls her ‘selfish’ for refusing
When you’re past a certain age, or paying your own bills, you get to decide who you live with and who you don’t. Maybe you have roommates, but hopefully they’re your friends or carefully-chosen strangers. Maybe you let your friend from college crash there when they’re in town. Maybe you let family stay with you …

50-year-old mom moves in with 32-year-old son because she only has $200 a months after paying bills and debt: ‘How do I do this without feeling guilty?’
It’s very common for parents to move in with their adult children when they can’t afford to live on their own. This type of arrangement doesn’t work for all families, especially when the parents and their kids aren’t particularly close, and they’re only interacting with them because they have nowhere else to turn. If you …

Brother’s new 23-year-old girlfriend constantly steals his 17-year-old sister’s clothes to wear around the house, doesn’t understand why that’s weird: ‘Honestly it just feels kinda gross’
Sharing clothes is an intimate thing. It’s usually reserved for very close friends, lovers, or family. But even then, you might not want even your closest pal to wear that dress you wore to your 21st birthday. It’s too sentimental, and what if they get a stain on it? Clothes are tied so closely to …

28-year-old girlfriend insists her 30-year-old boyfriend pay off her $9K of credit card debt, refuses to move in with him if he refuses to pay: ‘I don’t think it’s fair to expect me to take on someone else’s financial mess’
There are a lot of couples who act as if they’re married when they’re not. They buy houses together, raise children together, and combine their incomes and take on the financial responsibility of the other. That works for a lot of people, and I certainly don’t wish to knock something that isn’t doing a couple …
