Stepmom and dad refuse to let 19-year-old college student come home for Thanksgiving, says she has to find her own place to live during summer vacation: ‘Nobody told me I was completely on my own now’

She shouldn’t have to live independently during the holiday season. I’m not on board with parents who kick their kids out of their house the moment they turn 18. I understand parents kicking out a 25-year-old who has spent their entire adult life as a NEET (Not in education, employment, or training), but 18-year-olds are …

Listen, I get it, I’m all for taking care of your health and staying on top of nutrition, it’s important, and honestly respect to anyone who puts in that work. But when your macros turn into your entire identity and you can’t enjoy one bite of real food, the celebration loses its flavor. If your …

Mom insists her former barista daughter make Starbucks drinks for 15+ members of her extended family, scolds her when she refuses: ‘My mom is upset, saying I embarrassed her’

Nobody wants to bring their work home with them. It doesn’t matter if you’re working on an oil rig, in retail, or even in radiology: time off from work is not when you want to be doing your job for free for family members. It’s undoubtedly one thing to willingly cook a Michelin star-level meal …

If you have a normal, run-of-the-mill family, the holiday season is likely a polarizing time for the entire group.

Sibling rivalries can start fairly easily, but stealing your sister’s Thanksgiving contribution is a good way to fast-track a feud before the holidays.
