This is why it is said you should never believe what you see on social media. People will only show you the parts of their lives they want to share, and those parts are usually a tiny percentage of their actual real life. Social media is merely a photo album for people to look back at and see the highlights of their lives, but never the struggles. The person who wrote this story on Reddit decided to call out on his cousin for trying to appear rich and successful on social media when the reality…

Everyone has a secret or two they try to hide. It could be a small, harmless secret that most people would overlook, or it could be a major secret that has the ability to fundamentally change someone's life and perspective. That being said, while browsing Reddit, I stumbled onto a post that sparked my curiosity. The question is: 'What secret are you currently hiding from someone that you're willing to share on Reddit?'.

They won't take no for an answer

Actions have consequences

Among the most important things to remember are the rules of airplane etiquette. We can't decide if the limited space, the attentive flight attendants, or the restless passengers are to blame.

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger

With how difficult it has become to buy a house these days, you hear a lot about parents who offer to help their kids with the purchase of their first home, in whatever way they can. But never have I ever heard of parents demanding their own kids to pay for the mortgage on their house. If you can't afford a house, then maybe you should reconsider your choices, before turning for your kids with demands for money. The parents in this Reddit story had the nerve to ask just that out of their kids.…

Cash is a very powerful motivator

Inheritances are messy and can so easily cause drama and even break up an entire family. How is it that you can spend a lifetime with a group of people, regard them as the people who are most important and closest to you, and then throw these relationships all away for money? Many people can be asked that question, including the family in this Reddit story. OP (original poster) has received a life-changing inheritance from his grandmother but was met with unexpected demands from the rest of his…

'You can't eat at everybody's house'

Such a tough situation

It can be quite jarring for kids when one of their parents decides to remarry and combine their two different families into one. All of a sudden they have to move into a different home, get acquainted with total strangers who simply become their step-siblings, and then deal with a whole new parent that is now a constant in their lives. I understand why new couples are wary of putting their kids through that challenge, and why some parents try a different approach to it all. Much like the couple…
