Being an adult isn’t a walk in the park. Sometimes, you’re down on your luck, which significantly limits the amount of fun you can have. I’ve never gotten that «Your unemployed friend at 2 PM on a Monday» meme because if I were unemployed, I would be in the library day in and day out …

We have one of those family members who, when given an inch, takes a mile. It’s natural to want to help your kin in their times of need or in your time of bounty, but it isn’t easy to maintain boundaries once you’ve already offered endless assistance. If you let your sister and her husband …

‘She said I had to use the name, her daughter deserved that’: Bereaved mother freaks out when adult son refuses to name his daughter after his late baby sister

Grief is a messy and complicated thing we all have to go through at some point. It’s rarely something that someone can get over in a matter of months or weeks. It’s a long and winding road, with low lows and the capacity for high highs.  While the maxim «there’s no wrong way to grieve» …

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 …

Dad forces 18-year-old son to pay rent or get out, allows 22 year old unemployed son to live with him rent free: ‘I’m getting punished for my brothers actions’

If I’ve learned anything from my extended family, it’s that you should not let your adult son live in your house rent-free for years with no job and no prospects. When I was a kid, teenager, and college student, one of my biggest fears was that I would never be able to get a job, …

Boyfriend farts in his girlfriends face, can’t understand why she leaves the dinner: ‘I’m making this a bigger deal by trying to punish him’

I am part of the silent (but deadly) majority who thinks farts are funny. I was a huge South Park fan growing up, and so many of my favorite episodes included Terrance and Phillip, the fictional Canadian comedy duo who are obsessed with farting on each other.
