It's less than $2

Every parent believes their kid is the smartest and most talented kid of all. Some parents, actually do end up with a so-called ‘gifted’ child that is smarter than others in their same age group, but in most cases, the parents simply see what they want to see, and they end up setting their kids up for disappointment. The mom in this Reddit story did just that, as she claimed her son was a gifted child ever since he was a toddler. With no real evidence to actually prove the kid was talented, he…

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…

I have been living in a 12-floor building with hundreds of residents for about a year and I cannot tell you the names of more than five of my neighbors. When I moved, I thought I might meet people in the elevator and get familiar with them, but I hardly ever see anyone, and for some reason, people here do not go out of their way to be particularly friendly to new residents. So if I had a neighbor like the person who wrote this Reddit story, I would have been overjoyed to have someone give me su…

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.

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.

The parents in this Reddit story definitely crossed a line when it comes to their daughter. OP (original poster), shared on Reddit that her parents have no boundaries when it comes to her.

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…

Living with your parents well after you graduate from college has become a consensus among young adults. 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…
