‘I told [my brother] how he had failed as a father’: Uncle defends his neglected 16-year-old nephew after his spoiled 13-year-old brother broke his video game and blamed it on him
Not all pregnancies are planned. In fact, I would venture to say that in the history of human civilization, less than .01% of children were intended to be had from the jump. For a lot of people, pregnancy and kids are just something that happens to them, and they deal with it the best way …

One of the benefits I reaped was that I was rarely, if ever, demoted to sit at a paltry kids’ table during extended family dinners or holidays. There might’ve been a kid’s side of the table, but I cannot recall being segregated from adults …

‘I told her she’s a horrible mother’: Aunt calls out mom in the family group chat for constantly favoring her 15-year-old juvenile delinquent son over her often-forgotten 13-year-old son
Favoritism between siblings isn’t always blatant. Sometimes, a parent secretly has a favorite child but tries to hide that as much as possible to ensure all of their children get the same amount of love and support. Other times, favoritism manifests as authoritative parenting for the older sibling and permissive parenting for the much younger …

7-year-old nephew throws dinner plate at aunt because he can’t use his tablet after 8 PM, mom berates her for refusing to babysit thereafter: ‘She suggested I need to educate myself on modern parenting’
Kids and screens can be a troublesome mix. While it might be controversial, those parents who ban their children from having screen time make some reasonable points.
