It can be quite jarring for kids when one of their parents decides to remarry and combine their two different families into one. All of a sudden they have to move into a different home, get acquainted with total strangers who simply become their step-siblings, and then deal with a whole new parent that is now a constant in their lives. I understand why new couples are wary of putting their kids through that challenge, and why some parents try a different approach to it all. Much like the couple…

Anyone who has ever been on a cruise ship knows that cruise ships wait for absolutely no one. Actually, no public transportation ever waits for their passengers. If you are not there before the departure time, they will depart without you, and you will have to figure out another way to get to your destination. This is a lesson that the parents in this Reddit story had to learn the hard way, and it's honestly crazy that full-grown adults have not figured it out before. What's even more crazy, is…

I have been living in a 12-floor building with hundreds of residents for about a year and I cannot tell you the names of more than five of my neighbors. When I moved, I thought I might meet people in the elevator and get familiar with them, but I hardly ever see anyone, and for some reason, people here do not go out of their way to be particularly friendly to new residents. So if I had a neighbor like the person who wrote this Reddit story, I would have been overjoyed to have someone give me su…

Some folks plan their baby names for decades . I have a lot of friends who have had a list of names saved somewhere that they started when they were children themselves. Of course, not all of them are going to age well. I don't think I'm going to name my daughter Hermione anymore, but some of them stand. It's easy to get attached to a baby name, even if you don't say it out loud. You've spent years imagining a future where this is your child's name… that's a hard fantasy to give up. But it's a…

More often than not, you hear about parents who have no idea when to finally let go and let their kids get by in the world alone as adults. While it usually comes from a good place, as they want to help their kids and make sure they are okay, it can become extremely overbearing really fast. The parents in this Reddit story definitely crossed a line when it comes to their daughter. OP (original poster), shared on Reddit that her parents have no boundaries when it comes to her. She even had to ge…

It is a shame that no one teaches us how to be financially responsible when we become adults. This might be one of the most important lessons one has to learn while they are young, and yet none of us seems to have any clue what we are doing when it comes to handling money. That inability is often what leads people to have financial problems, which can later cause even more problems and strains, especially when it comes to family. The man in this Reddit story is one to tell. After years of livin…
