Having similar names in the same family can be a little confusing. Sometimes there are so many Johns that one of them needs to become «Johnny,» one of them needs to be «Big John» or «Little John,» depending on their age and size, and one of them just needs to go by their middle name, …

Giving birth is never a walk in the park. Whether you have a natural birth or a C-section, your insides are going to exit your body, and that’s frightening.

Inept 34-year-old husband tells his wife of 5 years he’s not ready to be a dad when she’s 6 months pregnant, prioritizes gaming with his friends over her: ‘He said was putting too much pressure on him’
There’s a time in your life when you’ve got to grow up. I’m not saying that you must get married, have kids, and abandon everything you loved when you were younger. You literally don’t have to do anything of the sort, but the reality is that most people do end up getting married or having …

Overbearing woman plans to use the same baby name as pregnant sister to show their ‘special connection,’ doesn’t understand why sister refuses: ‘Consider keeping your new child’s name a secret’
Sharing the same as someone can be a huge form of respect. New parents often name their babies after a relative who has passed or someone in their lives who they want to honor. That way the child can carry on their legacy. However, having the same name as a peer can be confusing. I …

22-year-old woman lets friend crash at her apartment for free, friend gets pregnant and insists host get rid of her cats: ‘Her baby is not your responsibility’
When you’re staying at someone’s house, you don’t get much say in what they do with their space. They’re doing you a huge favor, so you don’t get to chime in about what they’re doing or not doing. You’re a guest in their space, and what they say goes. You may not love that Urban …

Entitled mom-to-be calls out bakery for accidentally spoiling gender reveal by asking about cake ingredients: ‘She had a good 10 seconds to hang up before any info was revealed’
Can I confess something? There are few modern social rites of passage that annoy me more than gender reveals. Putting aside all the politics surrounding it, expecting parents already had the phenomenon of the baby shower before this nightmare of pink and blue gimmicks came along. As if that wasn’t enough, they also have a …

Parents force pregnant 15-year-old to drop out of school and raise the baby against her wishes: ‘I just want to give the baby up for adoption, but they won’t listen to me’
It’s pretty bleak how many people see pregnancy as a divine punishment for women who «misbehave.» I don’t know about you all, but I don’t think forcing irresponsible young women to raise babies that they can’t afford and never wanted in the first place is a great idea. I don’t think most people who tell …

Expecting mom plots to steal sister-in-law’s baby name, gets tricked into using a fake name for her unborn child: ‘I put on a performance like I had graduated from Julliard’
Perhaps the worst thing about dealing with a family rivalry is that it can be difficult to avoid the person who has a problem with you. For the sake of everyone else, you are forced to spend time with them and have a smile on your face as they do their darndest to make your …

34-year-old sister who can’t have children insists on helping name brother’s newborn, is offended when he declines: ‘My mom thinks I lack compassion’
Naming a baby is an incredibly personal thing. It’s a moment where, at least in our contemporary culture, the only people who really get a say are the parents. Not their families, not their friends, and not anyone else. Sure, it’s nice to use a baby name to honor someone who has passed, or who …

New mom threatens to keep her baby from sister and mom after they kept her puppy in a harness for a couple minutes: ‘She then called, yelling that I was lazy and unreliable’
Taking care of someone else’s pet can be a daunting task. Some people are rightfully protective of their animals and have very specific ways of taking care of them. I once cat-sit for a woman who required that her cat’s food be in the microwave for only 13 seconds before she was allowed to eat …
