You can't always get what you want

Nobody can quite push your buttons like your siblings (or parents, for that matter). They know you for too long, and they understand on a very deep level what will annoy you, and what won't matter to you at all. Can't live with them, can't live without them. One kindhearted hospital worker shared that she was fostering a little girl she had treated after she'd arrived with all sorts of injuries. After the little girl recovered, the worker took her in, hoping to adopt her. She cooked for her, go…

Nice things

Every adoptee has a different story. Some of them really resent the fact that they were raised apart from their birth parents , and others are perfectly happy and content with being adopted and wouldn't want it any other way. That is a two-way street because in order for a child to be adopted, their birth mother either chooses or is forced to give them up. Birth mothers of kids who later got adopted are similarly split on how they feel about it. Some might feel grateful and happy that they were…

Poor kid

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.

She even had to ge…

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…
