Dad refuses to force his popular 14-year-old daughter to sit at lunch with her twin sister, who eats alone every day: ‘Sara needs to learn to make it on her own and basically not piggyback off Mia.’

She doesn’t have to, but wouldn’t it be nice if she did?  It’s easy to tell a kid in Elementary school to sit next to the kid who nobody else is sitting with to help make them feel included. Little kids are much more likely to actually take that advice because they are less self-conscious …

German parents force 18-year-old to use $4K of his birthday money on his drivers license, let his twin sister keep all $4,500 of her birthday money: ‘They’ve always told me that they‘d pay for my driver’s license for me.’

On one hand, he’s still getting $500. On the other hand, that money was supposed to be a gift. When you’re young, it’s easy to be incredibly juvenile about money. If you have it, you spend it! If you have the money to spend on it, you can certainly afford it! Young spoiled kids have …

Spoiled twin lies to mother about her cousin not letting her use her room or TV, mother takes her anger out on the cousin: ‘I barely go to her house anymore’

A 10-year-old conniving twin decides to lie to her mother about her cousin’s pure intentions, which sabotages the cousin and her aunt’s relationship moving forward. Can a young child be purposely vindictive? Possibly, but the fault primarily falls on the mother/aunt here. An adult should know that their child is capable of lying, especially if …

For many older-sibling toddlers, the day their younger sibling is born is the worst day of their lives.

42-year-old single dad snaps at 20-year-old daughter for being uncomfortable with him dating multiple women at once: ‘After everything I gave up for you, after years of putting you and your sister first, this is what I get?’

Many parents neglect themselves and use their children as an excuse for doing so. How many moms and dads do you know who have a horrible diet, take inadequate care of themselves in general, never do anything fun, all in the name of being a good parent?

Twin gets snubbed out of his brother’s engagement celebrations and repeatedly left out of family events after moving to Portland, so he skips the wedding entirely: ‘I was only invited for optics’

Twins are tight.  Often boasting of their twinnish connection and their mind-reading capabilities, twins have a connection that many siblings will never truly understand. A twin is like an extension of yourself, and to avoid getting too spiritual about it, twins share their experience in life as a duo from the moment they enter this …

Mom refuses to let dad of a 7-year-old and 8-month-old twins go on a solo trip without the rest of the family: ‘I’m working, we don’t have full time child care, and it’s honestly just a lot with the 3 kids’

Once you become a parent, a lot of your freedom gets swallowed up. As a single person, I could hypothetically take a year off from all my responsibilities and travel the world, and it wouldn’t significantly impact anyone other than me. Sure, I’d have to save up and find someone to sublet my room for …

Folks always talk about how much they’d love having a twin if they could.

There’s an art to asking somebody for help. If you have to ask a friend to do you arduous favors for free on a nearly constant basis, then you probably need to hire someone to help you. It’s one thing if you’ve agreed on a schedule and your friend or loved one isn’t pressured into …
