Any form of partnership is difficult. If you’re working together on a certain goal, odds are you’re going to have differences. You might have an imbalanced work ethic, where one of you is pulling way more of the weight than the other, who leaves everything until the last minute. You may have different world views …

Entitled wealthy sister demands Christmas gifts for her 16-year-old and 14-year-old children but won’t buy them for her 6-year-old and 4-year-old niece and nephew because she’s «saving up» for a vacation: ‘I expect her to get my kids something’
Reciprocation is the key to any relationship, showing that you’re capable of paying attention to someone’s basic wants and needs and have considered their best interests is really the barest of requirements for establishing a bond. Gift-giving is a time when entitlement, selfishness, and narcissism rears its ugly head and it becomes all the more …

25-year-old mom-to-be refuses to let estranged parents be grandparents after they favored her childhood enemy over her: ‘They said we were going to make her feel wanted and welcome’
As a general rule, most people do not do something as drastic as going no contact with close family members unless they have a very good reason for it. To leave behind those who you grew up with or who raised you is often no easy decision, even when you have the worst kind of …

Pregnant fiancé eats her 10-year-old future stepdaughter’s birthday cupcake in the middle of the night because of a ‘craving,’ then Dad steps up to defend his daughter’s outrage: ‘Pregnancy cravings don’t override basic decency’
When you’re really craving something, it’s hard to think of much else. Tasty fried onion rings, pickles straight from the jar, or a late-night scoop of vanilla ice cream are my personal versions of kryptonite. But even with the strongest cravings at my back, pushing me towards the fridge at night, if my craving meant …

I know from personal experience that moving far away from your relatives is a big shakeup in the family dynamic. All of a sudden, you go from seeing them in person whenever you want to needing to plan it weeks if not months in advance. Keeping in contact starts to look very different, and if …

Woman sends boyfriend’s 6-year-old to bed hungry because he won’t eat her cooking, boyfriend calls her ‘ignorant’: ‘I wouldn’t hold his children to different rules’
Children are notoriously picky about food. They like what they like, which is usually something along the lines of chicken fingers and buttered pasta. I was picky when I was a kid. There wasn’t a lot of non-beige food I would eat. But I grew out of it. Now, I eat everything. But it wasn’t …

I never understood why some paternal grandparents insist on being in the delivery room with their daughters-in-law.

Names are curious things. They carry a lot of weight to them, even when we don’t want them to. We might hate our names and spend our whole lives shaking them off. But our parents had a different idea. They probably spent a lot of time and energy picking out our names, making them meaningful, …
