Professors sometimes need to be taken down a peg. Some of them walk around wielding unbridled power just because they have PhDs and a group of eager students trying to impress them. Some of them get a little high on their own intellectual supply and aren’t the nicest kinds of people to be around. But …

Mom insists her 23-year-old daughter, who has financially supported her for 5 years, send her and her 5 other adult children $1K per month: ‘If my mom supported me financially growing up I would have, but she didn’t’
I’ve never understood when aging parents solely rely on their kids to support them through retirement financially. These parents often use the justification that their children owe them moola for all of the years they spent raising them or they just failed to plan to support themselves into retirement. Some adult children feel great pride …

Mom berates aunt for letting her 28-year-old niece spend the weekend with because she was extremely stressed and depressed in college: ‘She didn’t want to tell her mom she was at our house and asked us not to either’
College isn’t always easy and fun for everyone. I didn’t go home during my entire freshman year of college because I was having too much darn fun, but I know that’s the exception rather than the rule. If a college student goes home to visit family once a month, I’d say that’s pretty standard. However, …

Childless aunt refuses to pay for her 18-year-old niece’s college after she joked about having tons of money and no responsibilities: ‘ She rolled her eyes and said it was just a joke, and I needed to lighten up’
So many women get disrespected because they don’t follow the trajectory of getting married and having kids that everybody is expected to follow. It’s not always obviously misogynistic rhetoric like, «Your eggs are rotting inside of you, and your sole biological function will never be realized, rendering your existence in this world pointless.» If you’re …

Mom tells her unschooled daughter she has straight A’s and a 4.0 GPA, has no high school transcript for her to send to the 17 colleges she’s allegedly been accepted at: ‘I don’t see how one could be radically unschooled and not have straight A’s’
I have always been a little suspicious of alternative methods of schooling. I know that there are some parents out there who are completely competent at teaching their kids from Kindergarten to 12th grade, but I highly doubt that’s the majority of homeschoolers. Most of the time, kids who do their schooling at home would …

Student Claps Back at Entitled Professor’s Power Move, Goes from Failing Class to Passing With a B: ‘The look on [his] face still makes me chuckle to this day’
College is the time of ramen dinners, endless exams, and paying absurd amounts of money for an education that sometimes feels like a scam. Between paying for overpriced textbooks and trying to keep up with assignments, the last thing anyone needs is an overzealous professor on a power trip. Yet, somehow, they seem to exist …

25-year-old woman walks out when her boyfriend proposes on the day of her law school graduation: ‘I felt like he hijacked a day that was meant to celebrate my success’
Everyone knows you shouldn’t propose on your partner’s big day. You are a bad guy if you propose to your girlfriend at your brother’s wedding. If you propose at your girlfriend’s mother’s funeral, you are simultaneously a bad guy and a bad guy with a creatively sinister mind. If you propose at your girlfriend’s law …

Growing up is realizing that everyone has their own arrangement. Sure, you might be jealous of that girl with the fabulous apartment and clothes and wonder what she’s doing better than you. Odds are… nothing. She probably just has rich parents. But some people are weird about their wealth. They try to be humble about …

Parents constantly track 18-year-old college freshman’s phone, expect him to be in bed by 10 PM every night: ‘My mother called while I was out clubbing, and when I didn’t pick up she called my school’s police dispatch’
College is one of the best times in a young person’s life for one reason: freedom. When you’re a kid, you are afforded very few freedoms. You cannot go wherever you want to go or do whatever you want to do. You must be home when your parents want you home, adhere to their rules, …
