‘It seems like everyone but you is responsible’: Dad accuses friend’s kids of stealing his 8-year-old’s toy, blames wife for not putting it away

Kids are unpredictable. You never quite know what their next move is going to be. Maybe they’ll start crying because their pants are a little too tight. Maybe, out of nowhere, they will ask you why dolphins have blowholes. Maybe they’ll throw a Lego at your face just to see what would happen. You truly …

16-year-old steals $50 of prescription beauty products from her sister-in-law, ends up with egregious skin irritations as a result: ‘She blamed me [but] I hadn’t expected her to dig through my drawers’

Skincare gets expensive. And anyone over the age of 15 learns to recognize the difference between the cheapy knock-off brands and the real deal–so when they say money buys quality, in the case of beauty products, that’s 100% true. This sister-in-law was more than reasonable with her husband’s little sister and her random in-house visits, …

38-year-old aunt allows her kids to steal dolls from her 11-year-old niece because she thinks she’s too old for them, mom takes the dolls back: ‘[Her aunt] said that her kids had a better right to the dolls’

Whether it makes sense or not, society has assigned toys that are developmentally appropriate for certain ages. I understand why an 8-year-old might get bored with blocks when they loved them when they were 4. Kids want toys that present some kind of challenge or inspiration, and dolls can be a great source of inspiration. …

‘[She] had no concept of boundaries’: Woman spikes her foundation with self-tanner, turning her makeup-stealing roommate’s face orange as payback

Living with someone shines a light on all of their worst qualities. As someone who’s had a whole slew of strange roommates, housemates, and nearby neighbors, I can confidently say that some relationships are better at arm’s length. Nobody needs the Q-tip mess or the disorderly dirty dishes tower ‘soaking’ in the sink staining their …

‘I’m honestly disgusted’: Man brags about getting an ‘amazing deal’ by stealing an $899 TV on Black Friday, but his sister-in-law calls out his brazen thievery

If it were easy to steal a priceless work of art, does that mean the art museum deserves to be hit with a heist? No, because stealing is inherently wrong. But this bad dad didn’t care about right or wrong as long as he got his 65″ plasma screen TV at the 5-finger discount. Stealing …

For most people who choose to settle down, their spouse will be the only family member that they ever get to choose.

‘Your family is enabling this toxic behavior’: Mom accuses sister of stealing her wedding ring after babysitting for free, continues to ask for free childcare

There’s a common saying, «You get what you pay for.» People usually use this when they’re talking about a cheap item they purchased that ends up breaking or otherwise being subpar. It makes sense. If you buy «AirPods» on Temu for $19.99, you’d be the fool for assuming they would connect to your phone. If …
