It’s her birthday too, you know! It can be tough to share a birthday with a major holiday. I have a friend who was born the day before 9/11, and people always tell her how lucky she is that she missed that birthday by a hair. While she’s also grateful that her birthday isn’t 9/11, …

Grandma takes in and buys car for son’s 16-year-old daughter from an affair, he complains she won’t buy one for his 17-year-old son: ‘You’re literally raising her’
Every child deserves to be treated equally. We call come out innocent. It’s nobody’s fault that they were born. Unfortunately, though, some adults make them feel like it was. Life gets complicated as you get older, and sometimes you end up with a family that you didn’t expect. That doesn’t change the fact that they’re …

19-year-old girl tricks her parents tracking her location, they call the cops within 3 hours: ‘Two officers showed up at the door looking for me’
Privacy is important at any age, but especially as an adult. As you get older, you gain the right to more privacy. You get to lock your door, go places by yourself, and have your whereabouts be unknown to everyone around you. Of course, this isn’t always how it goes down. Sometimes parents get a …

Unemployed dad demands his 17 and 19-year-old sons stop eating so healthy and start eating more ramen and cereal: ‘I don’t believe I should ask them to do that because both of those things tend to be unhealthy’
Many people don’t learn to be healthy during their teenage years, let alone as young adults. It’s a whole lot easier to eat junk food than to plan meticulous meals with the perfect amount of nutritional value, and many people never find the right balance to set themselves up for a healthy life. If you …

17-year-old student constantly insults his 26-year-old English teacher’s intelligence: ‘I’m not sure how to write an essay that’s simple enough for you.’
We all went to school with some know-it-all kids who thought they were smarter than everyone there, including the teacher. I have empathy for kids who are genuinely advanced and don’t have the opportunity to take AP classes or other challenging coursework. If a kid is actually extremely bored and unchallenged by school, it can …

‘I’d rather quit’: 18-year-old student refuses to swap his piano lesson with another girl to fit her schedule, her mom involves the teacher to pressure the switch
Here’s a friendly advice if you don’t want people to hate you: When you ask someone for a favor and they say ‘Sorry, but no’, try to accept the refusal and move on, instead of making their lives miserable for not giving you your way. Take it or leave it. That is the advice I …

‘Feral Child Summer’ is the Millennial Parenting Antidote to iPad Babies
Remember summers when you were a kid in the 1990s? Behind the brainrot doom-scrolling fog, there are memories of summers spent outdoors. In my hometown of Chicago, that meant running around public parks playing made-up games, setting off (probably illegal) fireworks on the Fourth of July, and my mom having only a vague idea of …

Dad divorces wife after she refuses to punish her 16-year-old daughter for stealing from his 13 and 15-year-old kids: ‘My kids were so relieved when we moved out, so I knew I made the right choice’
Blended families can exacerbate issues that were already present before the families got blended. If a kid mistreats his parents and they don’t do anything about it, chances are he’s probably going to treat his stepparents and stepsiblings with as much cruelty as he treats his parents, if not more. It’s difficult enough for kids …

‘I won’t even be civil with him’: 16-year-old son refuses to acknowledge dad’s affair partner, tells him he doesn’t care about his new stepchildren
Kids should have more rights than we think they should. They get to have autonomy, especially when it comes to dealing with their parents. Sure, they have to abide by their parents’ rules while they live in their house and are provided for, but that doesn’t mean that they have no say in how their …

Aunt and uncle call out 21-year-old niece for ‘flaunting her wealth’ in front of her 20-year-old cousin, call her a ‘brat’: ‘We came back to finding Danica crying in her hotel room’
It’s always awkward to talk about money. You never know who has how much, how they got it, and how they feel about it. This is especially true when it comes to family. And if you’re young, it’s even weirder. How much do your parents control your spending? Should they control it at all? Living …
