Stepdad refuses to buy 16-year-old stepdaughter $300 shoes and fast food 3 times a week, insists she gets a job to pay for it herself: ‘Now my wife and my stepdaughter are upset at me’

In my opinion, a child, tween, or teenager should be a little apprehensive when asking their parent to buy them something expensive. I know I didn’t ask my parents to buy me material things that cost over $100 frequently when I was a kid, even though I knew buying them wouldn’t bankrupt us. It’s one …

Mom tells teenage step-daughter not to marry a loser, despite the fact that she is a high school dropout without a job: ‘When I married her, she had no car and no job’

Nobody wants their kid to marry a loser. In theory, nobody wants to marry a loser themselves, but they often forget about that priority before officially tying the knot. We’re so willing to overlook someone’s incredibly apparent flaws because we’re «in love» and «would rather be miserable than sleep alone at night.» Once you’re in …

Dad refuses to call his 16-year-old daughter Anastasia by the nickname ‘Ana,’ freaks out when she calls him ‘George’: ‘My dad will call me Anastasia intentionally to make me upset.’

We live in a world of nicknames. When I was a kid, I was told that I might want to go back to going by Emily instead of Emmy for professional reasons. I don’t care how juvenile Emmy might sound…I’m not going by Emily anytime soon. We live in a much more casual world than …

Women are constantly policed about what we wear, no matter what age we are. I was being told my shorts were too short before I was even double digits.

Folks always talk about how much they’d love having a twin if they could. While it may be a novelty—you know, having another half of you that hung out in the womb with you for nine months—it definitely isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. How do you differentiate yourself from them? Can you manage to be …

Everyone is extremely weird about age. I’ll never forget the time I was at a bar with my friends when two 21-year-olds approached us. One of them turned 21 that very day, and this was the first bar she ever went to legally. She asked me and my friends how old we were. I said, …

When you’re a teenager, everything feels like a huge deal. Because it is. You feel your emotions strongly and don’t quite have the power of perspective to put it into place. This isn’t a bad thing. We’re all allowed to have big reactions and feel big stuff. Just because we’re young doesn’t mean our sides …
