Everyone is allowed to have their own preferences, and that includes physical appearance. It means something different to everyone. Some people put a lot of stock into what they look like, and take immense pride in it. And for some situations and jobs, this is important. There are still plenty of pockets of society where …

Ex-wife destroys 14-year-old daughter’s $2.7k gaming laptop, refuses to reimburse ex-husband’s wife who bought it: ‘Time for small claims court’
For a ton of people, the most expensive thing they own is their laptop. (Most people in my generation don’t own houses and maybe never will). It’s an investment that we feel we must make, and a necessary one if we’re in school, and if something happens to it it can feel disastrous. They’re fragile, …

14-year-old bully pulls out classmates feeding tube, principal asks victim to apologize or be suspended for 2 weeks for defending herself: ‘Just suspend me for the 2 weeks’
How are you supposed to respond to school bullies? The advice «fight back» or «just ignore it» is often touted as a solution, but I don’t think either is effective for ending verbal harassment. When kids teased me in school, I gave them neutral-one-word responses like «cool» or «okay.» They wanted to get a rise …

‘This is wild behavior’: Overbearing grandmother trash talks 20-year-old daughter-in-law in front of her 2-year old, faces backlash
It’s important to have intergenerational input in your household. We can learn from our elders, and if we’re lucky enough to have them around, we should. They teach us things, give us perspective, and give us a chance to show our kids how we’d like to be treated when we’re old. Too often, older generations …

Teen asks her 14-year-old sister to crochet 250 19cm stuffed bunnies for her Sweet Sixteen 2 months before the party, family members criticize her refusal: ‘She didn’t even offer to pay or buy the materials’
It’s challenging to have a hobby that people want to take advantage of. When I tell people I play adult dodgeball, nobody breaks down my door to ask me to give them 30-minute dodgeball lessons for free. Quite the opposite, they usually ask me to get away from them. But if you make stained glass …

14-Year-Old Daughter Destroys Her Future Step-Mom’s Wedding Dress After a Dress Code Squabble, Dad Says ‘The Wedding is Off’ When His Bride Uninvites Her As a Result
Being an angsty teen is the best excuse for bad haircuts, questionable clothing choices, and text message breakups. For those things, you’re given a ‘free pass’ of understanding, but there are still a few social boundaries that moody teens can no longer cross. For example, when your dear ol’ dad is getting remarried to an …

‘He’s just a kid’: Enabler mom refuses to reprimand 13-year-old son who stole 12-year-old cousin’s crutches ‘as a joke’
Being ‘just a kid’ is a good defense against a lot of things. For instance, if a 2-year-old cuts their own hair with safety scissors because their teacher has bangs and they were trying to emulate them. Or when a toddler rips the head off of their dolls- it’s not a sign of sociopathy, they’re …

Careless mom assumes 13-year-old niece will watch her kids, blames her when her kids spill pasta sauce on the carpet: ‘Your daughter wasn’t even in the room when it happened’
We often hear that it takes a village, but who exactly does that village extend to? Is it just the adults in your family, or do the older kids get to share the burden too? Shows like 19 Kids and Counting show that some parents rely on this strategy. The older kids raise the younger …

Entitled mom asks 28-year-old sister who works full time to babysit her 1-year-old once a week, calls her selfish when she refuses: ‘The request itself is unreasonable’
We’re all generally happy to help out our family members every once in a while. It takes a village, we know, and we all take turns being that village for each other. Also, having a niece or nephew can be a beautiful thing. You get the fun of hanging out with a kid and watching …
