Greed is a bottomless pit

Until what age is it still appropriate to call someone a ‘kid’ and use it as an excuse for their bad behavior? While it might count as a cute nickname, allowing someone to act like a kid should be restricted to a certain age period, and after that, it should definitely not be considered cute anymore. Picture this scenario for example – A ‘kid’ decided to prank his father by covering all his work and office supplies with duct tape, and essentially ruining important documents that his dad needed…

"We haven't taken him yet. She knew that."

She barked up the wrong tree

No grandchildren? No problem!

"So if there are any parents reading this story, please keep an eye on your children..."

When you are 16, every little event feels like the most important day of your life. Going on your first date, your first kiss, prom, graduation, those are all pivotal moments for your teenage self, which means that you want all of them to be absolutely perfect. Prom is probably one of those events that you want to have only the best memories of because there is no second chance or time for that one. You get one prom, so you better make it count. That means you have to put a lot of thought into…

"She’s since brought it up multiple times, saying I’m ‘hoarding toys from actual children’ and making her feel unwelcome."

"They either ‘forget’ their wallets, claim they’ll Venmo me later (spoiler: they never do), or outright assume I’ll take care of it."

"They’ve even started a smear campaign in our PTA group..."

When you give your child a last place medal, don't expect them to drop everything when you need them.

"She became increasingly sassy about the situation, leaving us feeling defeated and, frankly, a little targeted."

Sometimes, knowing the rules can be just as important as studying for the exam.
