Names can carry with them big expectations. When you name your child, you begin to set them up for a certain kind of life. Of course, you can overcome a bad name, but it is something to overcome. People carry a lot of baggage when it comes to names. Certain first names might make you …

Dad threatens to kick out pregnant 22 year-old daughter-in-law for refusing to help clean: ‘She isn’t giving birth to Jesus’
I’d wager that a good majority of household disputes are spurred by the issue of cleaning. Someone isn’t cleaning enough, someone isn’t pitching in, someone’s work goes unappreciated, or someone microwaves fish in the middle of the night. Cleaning the house is a bigger job than it seems at first, especially if you’re sharing the …

Pregnant school administrator gets denied permission to work from home 1 week before her due date, takes revenge on manager: ‘I immediately went to HR’
In a just world, nobody would have to work when pregnant if they didn’t want to. Unfortunately, that’s not the world we live in, and in the good old U S of A it’s not uncommon to see women grinding until they pop. Companies and managers aren’t always sympathetic to the struggle, either. This is …

‘You need to nip this in the bud’: Sister-in-law demands new mother change her 4-month-old baby’s name, pushes back when she refuses
Some folks plan their baby names for decades. I have a lot of friends who have had a list of names saved somewhere that they started when they were children themselves. Of course, not all of them are going to age well. I don’t think I’m going to name my daughter Hermione anymore, but some …

Entitled mom charges stepsister rent behind husband’s back, pockets the money to go out with friends: ‘She is totally comfortable lying to your face’
We have such a negative view of the «step» family in this culture. I think it all goes back to Cinderella. Like in most fairytales, Cinderella’s mother had passed, and her father moved on, leaving her in the custody of her new evil stepmother, and her evil stepsisters. In the story, the step-family was so …

‘You know who’s gonna suffer here? This poor kid’: New parents resolve to call their baby 2 different names after name argument stalemate
What’s in a name? A lot, it turns out. Names carry so much baggage with them and it’s on the parents to anticipate that ahead of time. Because your baby isn’t going to be a baby forever. One day, they’ll be an adult, and walk into a job interview with that dumb name you gave …

Woman who had a false positive pregnancy test throws a fit when nobody gets her anything for Mother’s Day: ‘Nobody owed her a Mother’s Day gift because she’s not a mother yet’
Who is a mother? That is one of those questions that must be approached with much nuance. Suppose a teenager gets pregnant and gives up her baby that Michael Cera fathered through a closed adoption. Would that teen be considered a mother, even though the role and responsibility of motherhood have been transferred wholly to …

‘Imagine having children with this dude’: Woman complains about pumping gas 9 months pregnant while husband sits in car
‘Wife calling out lousy husband’ has long been a bonafide category of viral social media posts, but it never gets any less bleak. Every day, they go on the clock app and give unmarried straight women another reason to avoid men altogether. It’s extra fun when the woman in question is pregnant: what do you …

Entitled pregnant sister-in-law insists brother-in-law cook her meals: ‘I told her BIL doesn’t equal spouse’
Cooking a meal for someone is the ultimate act of love. It should be counted among the 5 love languages. (Okay, maybe it falls under acts of service but I feel like food should have its own special category). It’s truly a labor of love, and food tastes better when it is prepared by someone who loves …

‘Talk to a lawyer’: Company fires pregnant woman 12 hours before birth, creates perfect storm for a lawsuit
It is not uncommon to get fired for no reason in The United States. Sure, your boss might give you some cock-and-bull reason for firing you, but you often have no real way of knowing if that’s the true reason for your termination. There are rare occurrences when somebody gets fired so carelessly at such …
