Husband throws a fit after wife chooses their 13-year-old daughter's omelette in a cooking competition over his, claims she's babying her: 'Big man baby'

Deceptive family sneaks meat into vegetarian's meals without telling her, refuse to apologize years later: 'They actually did this to humiliate her'

Everyone is allowed to do whatever they want with their diet. It's your body, so you get to choose what you put in it and what you don't. Sure, we all might have to make compromises when we're eating at someone else's house or traveling to another country, but ultimately the only person in charge of what we eat should be us. That's why one Redditor was so upset at her family after revealing a secret they were holding about their cooking, and what it meant for her dietary choices. Every vegetari…

Foster parents put strict restrictions on 15-year-old's phone and do the same when his biodad buys him a new one, 15-year-old complains that they're hypocritical: 'They have no choice'

Teenagers and technology are not the best mix. Anyone who has grown up with social media knows how damaging it can be to your mental health.
