She's got a point, but the delivery is off

Poor kid

Every household has its own way of dividing the housework among family members. Some parents view housework as an important lesson for their kids, so they make sure their kids are just as involved in house chores as they are, making it easier for the kids when they go off and live independently. Other parents don't mind if their kids do not take part in chores and allow them to learn their ways when they are older and live on their own, which they argue is also a way of preparing them for the r…

He was embarrassed

Every day you get older, the more it dawns on you that your parents are just people, which might help you come to terms with everything that happened in your childhood. Or, it might make you resent them even more because they decided to become parents when they had no idea what they were doing. Recently, I passed the age my mom was when she had my older sister, and it made me wonder how she managed to do it when I could not feel further away from having kids of my own.

If you had to live through what Cinderella went through with her stepmother and step-sisters, how do you think you would've handled the situation? Would you have stood up to them when they tried to bully you into doing all the house chores, or would you have done what Cinderella did, basically sticking it out until a prince came to rescue her?

We all like to say that we don't care about our birthdays, that we don't mind if people forget, or if we only do something quiet and chill. However, in reality, we always end up secretly getting excited about our birthdays and expecting the world to be extra kind, as if it owes us something on the day we are born.

She's lost her passion

He can't save his sisters marriage

What could go wrong?

She hasn't had a break

She's not his real mom

The older I get, the more I am drawn to becoming a stay-at-home mom. Granted, I do not have any kids yet, but once I do, I am starting to grow fond of the idea of staying home and taking care of them as my full-time job. I am also fully aware that being a stay-at-home mom is no easy task, and often it is even harder than a normal 9-5 job. That is why I think it is important that everyone who grew up with a mom who gave up on her career to raise her kids, should really show their appreciation. U…

You will always love and care for your children. But what would you do if, after over twenty years, you found out that your child is not biologically yours, even though you were tricked into believing that you are the father? The story below is an account of a frustrated uncle. The original poster (OP) had an unwavering devotion to his nephew. But the once-peaceful family fell apart when OP's brother found out that his wife had an extramarital affair and that his son wasn't really his. After sp…

Did I mention this was his 4th broken engagement?
