Some parents are born to become foster parents to kids in need of a home. They know exactly how to ensure the foster kid feels comfortable and at home, they know how to get them to open up, and how to welcome them with open arms. It is an honest gift, and those parents truly deserve an award for all the hard work and love they put in. Then there are some parents, who should not be parents in the first place, let alone be foster parents. People whose motives are completely wrong, as they would d…

Gift-giving is a tricky thing, especially when it comes to family. On one hand, you give someone a gift in hopes that they be able to enjoy that gift and make the most of it. On the other hand, what they do with that gift is totally up to them, and that is out of your control as soon as you hand it over.

They need to stop complaining or start cooking

Some people, when they grow tired of their friends and their toxic behaviors, decide to cut ties and end their friendships. But for other people, that is not an option, and they have to find other ways to show their distaste. For example, if your significant other has friends you disapprove of, you can't really tell your partner that you don't want them to be friends anymore. It will only make you seem jealous and controlling, and no one wants that. So the only thing left to do is to find ways…
