They see it as their right to get constant service and favors from family members and friends, no matter how absurd they may be. While we do have some level of duty to our family, especially when they’re experiencing significant hardship, you’ve …

Couple marries despite their 12-year-old sons hating each other since kindergarten, can’t believe it’s not resolved when they’re 17: ‘It was humiliating to realize other people are so aware of the bad blood’
TV shows romanticize blended families. The most famous blended family of all time, The Brady Bunch, has to be a TV show because it would never happen in real life. A widower with three sons marries a widow with three daughters. By an act of God, each daughter is the same age as one of …

Aunt buys deoderant for 14-year-old nephew who’s getting bullied for his foul scent, gets chewed out by his crunchy mom for overstepping boundaries: ‘She said I caused irreversible damage to his self esteem’
Everybody remembers the smelly kid in middle school. Even if you don’t think you remember, somewhere in the annals of your mind is the girl who never wore deodorant and subsequently had difficulty making friends. If you were like me or any of the boys at my middle school, you would baptize yourself daily with …

Aunt paints unrequited, tacky, and huge portrait of her nephew’s marriage proposal dinner, asks that he pays $1900 for it: ‘Her original asking price was $2.5K’
Nobody wants to be guilted into buying something expensive, ugly, and huge. It can be kind of awkward to walk around art fairs without intending to buy anything for this reason: you might see some cool paintings, but some of them are $5K and are so ugly they shouldn’t be hung anywhere. Luckily, most artists …

Dad abandons 11-year-old son after his mom passes, gets angry when his new wife and kids can’t stay at his guardian aunt and uncle’s house for 2 weeks: ‘His wife is becoming resentful of him not being around’
The loss of a parent is difficult at any age, but it is especially tough when you’re a kid. If that wasn’t hard enough, if your living parent isn’t able or willing to take care of you, it can feel like you’re functionally an orphan. That’s what happened to George, the 11-year-old nephew of a …

18-year-old provides free babysitting for nieces and nephews, annoys family by claiming there are no rules when she babysits: ‘What’s the worst anyone can do to me? Take away my free babysitting?’
A major drawback of being one of the older kids in a family dynamic is that you can get lumbered with an unfair amount of responsibility. When you’re old enough to be in charge of some things but still young enough to be bossed around, that’s when you’re in the sweet spot for being exploited …

Dad insists professional yo-yoer brother give his advanced yo-yo to his son, gets angry when kid knocks tooth out with it: ‘He told me that I had to pay to get the rest of the baby tooth out’
Not all toys are for kids to play with. That’s a sentiment adult collectors of Star Wars memorabilia carry, whether it’s true or not. It’s true that a kid shouldn’t play with something worth thousands of dollars, but not because it technically can’t be played with…it is because it’s thousands of dollars. However, there are …

Thieving sister-in-law attempts to swap gifts for son’s 13th birthday party, gets humiliated with petty revenge: ‘She tried to play it off as a prank’
Good gift giving is a skill that not everybody has the money, time, and resources for. I’ve certainly been guilty of adding my name to a card at the celebration of an acquaintance, and I know I’m not alone. However, when it comes to those I’m close to I will always try to make an …

Cruel aunt messes with nephew’s new betta fish, receives ultimate ‘Godfather-style’ revenge: ‘That is some scorched earth kind of petty’
Fish are friends, not instruments in generational warfare. I’ve never owned a fish, but from what I hear, it’s like having any other type of pet. You get attached. They become like family. Sure, they’re tiny and you can’t pet them, but I’m sure they offer emotional support in their own special way. Like anything …
