A new baby in the family is usually a happy time, and something that people want to celebrate. However, it is also a momentous change that normally takes a lot of adjusting to, and by extension, something that can cause a lot of strain and tension within already shaky familial relationships. This is only amplified …

22-year-old college student interviews sister-in-law about giving baby up for adoption at 20, gets angry when she says she doesn’t regret it: ‘This was the only good decision for him’

Wife refuses to allow her in-laws to stay over after they snooped in her private things and called her house «messy» the last time they stayed over, husband gets angry: ‘He may say he’s going to clean, but he won’t’
It’s so much easier to have friends or family visit from out of town when they’re not staying at your house. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had many houseguests sleep on my couch, and spending an entire weekend with them has been buckets of fun. However, their staying at your house the whole time necessitates …

Neglectful babysitters refuse to change babies diaper, goes on rampage when their sister-in-law reports it to the mother of the baby: ‘[She] has trashed me to every family member she can think of’
The scariest thing about babies is that they can’t talk. Some might say the most frightening thing about them is the sensitivity of their soft spots or SIDS, but I would take a soft-headed baby who could speak like Stewie Griffin over a football-helmet-headed baby who only cries any day. I’m not saying that every …

Mom berates aunt for letting her 28-year-old niece spend the weekend with because she was extremely stressed and depressed in college: ‘She didn’t want to tell her mom she was at our house and asked us not to either’
College isn’t always easy and fun for everyone. I didn’t go home during my entire freshman year of college because I was having too much darn fun, but I know that’s the exception rather than the rule. If a college student goes home to visit family once a month, I’d say that’s pretty standard. However, …

You really figure out who your friends are when you have kids. The same goes for single people when everyone but them starts having kids, but it’s difficult to overstate how upsetting it can be for all of your friends to lose interest in you just because you have a baby. You would think that …

Woman’s sister-in-law “can’t” find babysitter months before no-kids wedding, demands exception for her children and rallies family against the bride: ‘She’s been telling other family members that I’m being unreasonable and that I don’t care about family’
Weddings are those magical occasions where family dynamics and personal preferences collide like champagne with red wine. In one corner, we have the dreamy-eyed couple seeking their perfect day. In the other, relatives armed with opinions, expectations, and occasionally, small humans who view white dresses as artistic canvases. The «child-free wedding» debate has become the …

Parents book vacation with 3-year-old daughter, sister-in-law protests and insists she and her mom should take her on holiday by herself: ‘Those people are not suited to go on holiday alone with a child’
Having kids means you have to accept that you are going to be doing a lot of things differently, at least while they are young. This extends to the fun stuff as well as the day-to-day, and one big change that parents can struggle to adapt to is going on vacation. Most of the time, …

Ungrateful woman rejects the blanket her sister-in-law crocheted for her because she made a mistake in the pattern: ‘She looked down at it and said that it wasn’t done until it was perfect’
Ever since I was a little kid, I have been highly trained in the art and science of receiving presents. My sister and I would get the same lecture from our parents every year when we were driving to our birthday parties: «No matter what you get, whether you like it, hate it, or already …
