There are some Happy Meal toys you will never forget. When the movie Cars came out, I vividly remember getting a girl car toy at my local McDonald’s. It wasn’t even the main girl car in the movie (this one was mint instead of blue), but something about the toy was so mesmerizing and fun. I could …

55-year-old father of a baby refuses to take care of his son for more than 15 minutes, says changing diapers and putting on clothes is too hard: ‘I hate that thing and wish it were never here’
A particular generation of men had kids and never did a single hands-on thing for them. Their wives were the ones who had to change every diaper, run every bath, dress, and feed their kids during the first few years of their lives. You would think that fathers today are much more involved, and you’d …

‘It was warmer the sun now is more of a cool tone’: Millennials claim the sun was different in the 90s, others argue that these memories are skewed by ads and being 8-years-old in 1995
It’s no mystery that some things have changed since the 90s. We’ve gotten older, prices have gone up, and the Vengaboys are not releasing as many songs. A lot of people might say that the 90s were clearly a better time to be alive, but most of the people who say that were children during …

‘She was good in court but communication with her is nearly impossible’: Divorce lawyer responds to 86 emails from client and wins her custody and alimony, gets less than stellar review
It’s so lame when you do your job to the best of your ability, go above and beyond for customers, and after all that, they still don’t appreciate your services. It’s one thing to do a mediocre job and get called out for it, but when you grind and grind and objectively succeed, it’s so …

Vegan party host orders 4 vegan pizzas, forces his friends to pay for it because he apparently wasn’t hungry: ‘We aren’t going to pay because we didn’t order, didn’t enjoy it’
There is an art and science to hosting a party. If you cook a meal for your friends, you’ll probably have to pay for ingredients you wouldn’t usually buy. You might operate at a loss, but the joy of providing a hot dish to your closest companions is well worth the price of Whole Foods’s …

Gen Zer shows up to job interview in short shorts, refuses to go home and change when they offer for her to: ‘They decided to reschedule the interview with me for tomorrow’
It can be difficult to gauge the formality of an office environment. If you work on Wall Street, it’s pretty easy to figure out that you’re going to have to wear a suit 52 weeks out of the year, but what about the rest of us? If you have a nondescript office job, the formality …

‘Phones are making kids stupid’: Millennials and Gen Zers share the opinions that they agree with Baby Boomers about
Some oldhead complaints are timeless. For instance, «Kids today are lazy and can’t even begin to apply themselves to anything important.» That’s a critique that goes back to Aristotle’s times. While it’s kind of funny to watch the grown-up kids, who were called lazy by their parents, call their kids and grandkids lazy, it doesn’t …

Homeschool families create a co-op where parents take turns teaching their kids together in one home, accidentally reinvents the one room schoolhouse of the 1800s: ‘Why doesn’t everyone do this!’
I cannot imagine living during a time when there wasn’t compulsory schooling in the United States. Trying to rally together my hypothetical rural community to create a one-room schoolhouse that kids aren’t even required to attend would make me so stressed out. Even though public school can have some problems, we take for granted that …

‘Take two bites. Not just food’: 15+ Default rules to improve your life, at least marginally
We all have rules and rituals. We have the way we like our coffee, the kind of socks we buy, the kinds of places we live, and the kinds of books we read. Every moment is made up of millions of little choices, and to make things simpler, we’ve pre-chosen a lot of them. Sure, …

Gen Zer claims motherhood is a less stressful, slower-paced life than working a full time job: ‘It’s so sad so many women are choosing the wrong path’
Whatever path you take in life, you’re bound to be overwhelmed and stressed. Anyone who says that working around the clock is unobtrusive to their health is a liar, and anyone who claims that motherhood is a picturesque walk in the park is either childless or a man. Being alive is stressful, and just because …
