17-year-old changes old-fashioned name to something contemporary, offends pregnant sister-in-law who wants to give her baby a vintage name: ‘She said she’d like me to rethink it’

The number of kids who grow up with a name they absolutely hate is plentiful. It’s all too common for the tastes of their parents to not align with their own, but it’s not so often that they go to the lengths of officially changing what they are called. Sometimes, though, having a name that …

‘They aren’t entitled to any more assistance from you’: Greedy couple asks in-laws for free washer and dryer despite owing them $1200

As someone who has read hundreds, if not thousands of posts where Redditors ask other Redditors if they are the… problem, I can confidently say that you should never lend money to a family member if you can help it.

Siblings Call Out Sister-in-Law After She Admits to Selling Her Kid’s Hand-Me-Downs as a Side Hustle: ‘I told her that she probably shouldn’t expect us to give them anything else’

How would you feel if you knew someone was taking the hand-me-downs you gifted to them and selling them on the Internet? Apparently, this is quite a controversial topic. Some claim that you’re already giving away something you don’t want in the first place, so once you hand it over, it’s that person’s choice what …

Sister rescinds her RSVP to her brother’s wedding after Bridezilla roasts her at her ‘exclusive’ bachelorette party: ‘[She] is spreading lies’

Mean girls will always be mean girls. Even decades after the elementary school recess politics brainwashed the ‘cool girls’ into thinking they had to be mean in order to be well-liked, some women refused to grow out of their childish nastiness and take their sordid behavior into adulthood. To them, in order to be the …

‘I burst out laughing’: Woman goes behind her brother-in-law’s back and gets a DNA test done on his child, gets humiliated when he tells her the real story of how she was adopted

This father did the right thing when he was cornered with the results of a failed DNA test of his adoptive daughter–laugh in the face of his pot-stirring SIL who had no clue what she was talking about. Like granny used to say, ‘don’t be shoving your nose where it doesn’t belong or you might …

Sister-in-law asks new mom to change her baby’s name from Liam to Alexander because she always wanted to name her baby Liam: ‘Mike didn’t let her use the name is because his ex has a son with that name’

It’s so difficult to name a human being. Once you go through all of the names of all the middle school bullies, weird acquaintances, and exes you and your partner have ever had, you’ve only got about five names left over. It’s difficult enough for two people to choose a name that they both like, …

Well-off husband criticizes wife for spending $45 a week at her sisters burger business, buys a Big Mac for himself in protest: ‘I told her it’s not our job to support her sister’

It’s so important to support your family in the ways you can. That doesn’t just mean seeing each other twice yearly during Christmas and Thanksgiving. It means showing up for them in the things they care about. If your sibling ran a business in your area and you never supported it, they’d probably feel lousy. …

Bride demands 11-week-old baby wear a 3-piece suit to her wedding, rejects onesie that looks like a suit: ‘She’s never been around babies, has she?’

There can be a lot of contempt thrown at mothers for bringing their babies to weddings. As far as I’m concerned, as long as the bride and groom want them there, they’re entitled to be there. Usually, the biggest challenge of babies at weddings is hoping that they don’t cry during the ceremony, but this …

Aunt paints unrequited, tacky, and huge portrait of her nephew’s marriage proposal dinner, asks that he pays $1900 for it: ‘Her original asking price was $2.5K’

Nobody wants to be guilted into buying something expensive, ugly, and huge. It can be kind of awkward to walk around art fairs without intending to buy anything for this reason: you might see some cool paintings, but some of them are $5K and are so ugly they shouldn’t be hung anywhere. Luckily, most artists …
