It's not her house

Cruel and unusual

Your priorities should always be centered around your family. Your family is your forever, whether you would like to accept it or not. Your family has been there for you from the moment of your birth until the end of time. How would you respond, though, if you weren't seen as a member of the family but rather as an outsider? The stepfather in the story below is displeased. The original poster (OP) had recently lost his wife. She left three children, ages 22, 25, and 27, behind. It didn't matter…

The housing crisis is no joke

It doesn't have to be that serious

Parenting demands that both the parents and their kid be involved in the relationship, otherwise neither of them can move along.

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…

They can be selfish

There's no such thing as a free lunch

I have yet to meet parents who respect their kid's boundaries. My mom for one, is a lovely person, but she doesn't have a respectful bone in her body. She'll tell the whole neighborhood about my dating life, despite my many pleas to not do that. She'll also show up unannounced at my apartment in the evenings.
