Every child should be able to trust that their parents have their interests at heart. That's kind of the point of being someone's guardian. But what happens when that trust is totally shattered by selfish and entitled parents? That's exactly what happened to u/Accomplished_Bar5656 , whose parents literally stole their two daughters' inheritance from their great aunt and used it to pay for their son's wedding instead. Because her family didn't value education for women, they took it upon themsel…

Everybody likes their hamburger prepared in a different way. When I was a kid, I would order every burger with only pickles on it. No ketchup, mustard, or anything else was welcome on that sandwich. I thought that pickles were the only topping I could possibly stomach, but I would eventually prove myself wrong by adding onions to the equation. Basically, I was eating the stinkiest burgers imaginable without lettuce and tomato to soften the blow. Luckily, I wasn't in that phase too long. One tim…

Every main character needs one

Every underachiever has the same dream job: one that doesn't require them to do any work . Achieving this sort of career in doing absolutely nothing is pretty rare, but stumbling into one completely by accident is the stuff of fairytales. This is precisely what happened to u/jerichomega , who recently confessed to r/antiwork that they basically won the job lottery. After their direct manager got the boot, OP had no one to answer to and miraculously, no one has given them any work to do for seve…

Having untreated attention deficit disorder growing up was a hectic time. At least one point each year, a teacher, counselor, or even Taekwondo instructor would point it out to me. But I was 9 years old, and my mom didn’t accept their theories. So 11 years later, I was diagnosed and life became slightly more manageable. For those who have ADHD or even those who know someone with it, there are a lot of quirks and behaviors that are easy to relate to. Are you or someone you know constantly zoning…

Tricky

Things might be a little better if I stayed in school for programming. Getting paid the big bucks to live in Silicon Valley and play around with computers all day? Sign me up! My main issue was that I’m terrible at math and professional programming is nowhere near as idyllic as what I’ve just described. I don’t have much coding experience. I took a few courses on Code Academy, goofed around making Python scripts as a teenager, and then switched my major from computer science in my second semest…

Big little brains

Jennifer Garner lied to us! When you turn 30, you will no longer be flirty OR thriving

When I was about eleven I decided that I was going to focus on making friends instead of my schoolwork. Since Pre-K my mother had me attend certain classes in the higher grade because I was “gifted,” which didn't do me any favors socially. Being so separated from my peers was incredibly alienating as an already-awkward kid. Eventually, my parents had me switch schools after third grade to experience some sort of social normalcy. Unfortunately, I was bullied immediately as a newcomer. I just did…
