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…

You can't always get what you want

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…

Since a college degree is, more often than not, no longer enough to grant a graduate their first actual job, it is extremely difficult for young adults to be able to afford rent, so they end up going back to their parents while they figure out what to do with their lives. Most parents accept their kids with open arms and help them in their journey. But other parents, can't seem to accept the…

The great tuna wars

If you can understand how challenging It can be for a kid to learn that they are adopted and that their parents aren't their real parents, you might be able to understand how challenging it can be for a parent to learn that their child is not their real child. The father of this Reddit story recently discovered that his 18-year-old son is not actually his son and that his wife cheated on him 20 years ago. Not only that, his son has known about his biological dad's real identity for months, and…

Not all heroes wear capes

Cooking can be a sore subject, especially if you pride yourself in your abilities. I for one, won't be seen in a kitchen. I'm not a good cook, nor do I want to be. Plain and simple. My special talents lie elsewhere. Anyway, back to the story… one man took to Reddit after his sister-in-law insulted his homemade cooking. He had formerly posted about serving her dog food due to her poor attitude, but that's another story for another day. Since then, he claims that she hadn't changed, and continuou…
