Parents refuse to let 23-year-old son to move out of the house because he takes care of his 15 and 16-year-old siblings: ‘Who’s gonna drive Jake to chess?’
Parentification is not a good idea. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it means treating your older children like parents to your younger children. You basically expect them to raise them, well before they’ve reached adulthood. It’s an unfortunately common practice, especially in big families. It forces the older siblings to grow up far too …

Stepmom refuses to hand over her stepson’s family heirloom gold rings after holding onto them for ‘safekeeping,’ then tries to give him other rings as a replacement: ‘This is a huge betrayal of trust’
We should always be able to trust our family members, but a story now and then will teach us that family isn’t always something we can rely on. Money and riches can make people do crazy things, so much so that they commit crimes at the expense of their family members. Too often, we are …

Pregnant mom blocks fellow community parent after she insists that she watches her 9, 10, and 15-year-old kids for free so she can get her nails done and get a tattoo: ‘I immediately blocked her’
You can always tell who wants to be a good parent and who, likely, prefers to act childless but has children; It’s simple to see the difference between the two. Most entitled parents who don’t want to pay a babysitter will seek out other moms and dads who give off the impression that they won’t …

‘She was always a selfish and neglectful parent’: Retired 63-year-old mom expects her 30-year-old daughter to become her full-time caretaker in old age, but daughter refuses

They cannot fathom the concept of their neglect affecting their children, even if their children directly explain how their lack of parental support has negatively impacted them. The story below is a prime example of why parents should always support, …

Grandparents treat their son’s kid as an afterthought, son threatens to keep her away from them if they don’t spend one-on-one time with her: ‘In 3 years […] my parents have had my daughter overnight fewer than ten times’
Children know when they’re being thought of after everyone else. They pick up on things that we adults might not think they do. They’ve been absorbing our behavior for their whole lives, and they know when something is off. That’s why it’s important to make sure that everyone in your child’s life is treating them …

Spoiled twin lies to mother about her cousin not letting her use her room or TV, mother takes her anger out on the cousin: ‘I barely go to her house anymore’
A 10-year-old conniving twin decides to lie to her mother about her cousin’s pure intentions, which sabotages the cousin and her aunt’s relationship moving forward. Can a young child be purposely vindictive? Possibly, but the fault primarily falls on the mother/aunt here. An adult should know that their child is capable of lying, especially if …

Stepmom and dad refuse to let 19-year-old college student come home for Thanksgiving, says she has to find her own place to live during summer vacation: ‘Nobody told me I was completely on my own now’
She shouldn’t have to live independently during the holiday season. I’m not on board with parents who kick their kids out of their house the moment they turn 18. I understand parents kicking out a 25-year-old who has spent their entire adult life as a NEET (Not in education, employment, or training), but 18-year-olds are …
