Imagine your parents bought a house, fixed it up for you (free of charge), and let you live in it while you get your life together. You’d probably feel extremely thankful for having such empathetic, generous parents who try to set you up for the best possible life they can. If they asked you to …

20-year-old sister agrees to take custody of her 11, 12, and 14-year-old siblings, enrages their dad who’s forcing his 2nd wife into the mother role: ‘The best place for them is with two parents’
It’s not worth trying to force a familial dynamic that doesn’t happen naturally. It doesn’t work when parents try to make their new partner a surrogate parent without any consideration for the amount of time their kid has known their new partner. If your 16-year-old son brought his new friend Kyle to your house and …

Relationships with step-siblings can be difficult, especially in your teens, you generally old enough that experiencing a true sibling upbringing is out of the question. It doesn’t mean that the two of you can’t grow close but that whole sibling ingrained love/hate thing is sort of out of the question. Which also means that instead …

16-year-old exposes father’s affair-marriage, 35-year-old stepmother has crying meltdown at their housewarming party: ‘I always knew he loves his new family more than me’
If you can’t stand the heat, maybe don’t cheat in the kitchen—or the workplace, or anywhere else really. It’s a funny thing that people are always shocked when their moral shortcuts turn into road blocks. It’s like they think you can sow betrayal, plant a little backstabbing, and then somehow grow a garden of roses, …

Mother tells 16-year-old daughter she’s not «celebrated» because she doesn’t do anything with celebrating, teen gets even more upset: ‘[She] said she feels like it’s unfair we celebrate [her brother]’
Every kid is going to be different, as much as each of us are individuals. But possibly even greater since the way each of us learn is as different again as our personalities—as is the rate and manner in which we mature and develop. No two people are the same and no two teens are …

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 …

Stepmom claims her step-kid’s mom is lying about them not liking her, mom exposes that they say the same negative things about their stepmom to their dad: ‘They walked out to deal with their marital issues.’
Here’s a difficult question: When are you supposed to tell your friend or loved one when someone says something terrible about them? I’d like to know if someone who is in my social circle that I really trust says something negative about me. While that’s good in theory, I’ve found it sometimes causes more problems …

Jealous stepmom throws away VHS tapes documenting her 17-year-old stepdaughter’s late mother’s pregnancy: ‘We made a promise to show Eleanore the tapes on her 18th birthday’
Grief is a terrible thing, and it affects everyone very differently. Some people can move on from the loss of a loved one surprisingly quickly, while others never get over it as long as they live. Even for a person as important as your life partner, the grieving process looks different for every individual. Some …

‘This is our first Christmas as a real family’: New stepmom insists 21-year-old stepdaughter cancel plans to visit her bio-mom so she can attend her holiday party, throws a fit when she declines
It’s not always easy to blend families. Different parties might be resistant to different kinds of change, and points of view can easily clash. This is even (and sometimes especially) true when you have adult children. Odds are, they have probably missed the boat in connecting with their new step-parent in a particularly intimate way. …
