As someone who has been a stepparent and who also now has children of her own, I can tell you one thing for sure – blending families is not easy at all, and anyone who tries to tell you that it is probably isn’t doing it right. For most people, I think deferring to the...

Bullying is no joke, y’all, but the sad fact of the matter is that even adults sometimes don’t take it seriously. Too many people have the idea that “boys will be boys,” or we survived mean comments in school and so our kids will true, but reality is that the world our kids are navigating...

I can’t imagine ever being put in the position where I had to make a decision on whether or not to call the authorities on a friend due to their parenting, and I truly hope I never have to find out for sure what it’s like. This woman and her partner found themselves in a...

There’s no doubt in the mind of anyone who has ever raised a child that the job could ever be described as easy, and honestly, I think it gets harder as your kids get older, despite what moms of toddlers might think. Little kids have little problems, but when you start to wade into the...

As a woman who can no longer consider herself young, I’m consistently shocked and dismayed by how many still-spritely women are posting on Reddit’s Am I The A$$hole forum who are actually dating a$$holes but have no idea. I am equally happy that the internet exists and they can benefit from the knowledge of women...

When it comes to parenting, the general rule of thumb is that you don’t parent other people’s kids unless you’ve been given express permission to do so. There can be some gray area when it comes to family and friends, but honestly…probably not as much as you’d think. This guy has two siblings and a...

This is one of those stories that leaves me completely flabbergasted, because I would honestly think nothing of seeing a woman jogging through my neighborhood at four in the morning. Sure, it’s early, but people have to get ready for work and get kids ready for school and get out the door for their commute,...

There’s no doubt that for a majority of people who have pets, they are like family – we treat them as well as we would anyone else that we love, and we include them in ways that we believe will make everyone’s lives better. This man is no exception, and even went the extra mile...

There are no shortage of posts on Reddit’s Am I The A$$hole forum that deal with brides, weddings, and other people’s obligation to those people and events, but you’re really going to have to buckle up for this one, folks. The couple, who are are having a Harry Potter themed wedding just so happen to have...

Unless you’re pregnant or just a really big fan of pickles, there’s a good chance you don’t think twice about dumping the juice out of your pickle jar once all of the pickles are gone. It turns out that you might want to think twice before you toss it all down the drain, though, and...

Here’s the thing about losing weight: everyone wants there to be some easy hack, but in the end, there really isn’t. For most people without secondary issues, it’s a simple equation of calories in versus calories out, so if you don’t want to starve, you have to exercise. If you’re looking for a quick, simple,...

Personally, I prefer to sleep with the bedroom door closed for not-getting-murdered reasons, even though I realize that, if someone wanted to murder me, they could easily open a door. It does make my room warmer, which isn’t always a good thing. According to experts, though, my instincts are right (even if the reason is...

We hear often that a wedding is supposed to be one of the best days of your life. The attention is all on you, there’s a great party celebrating the next step in your life, and you get to marry the person you love more than anyone else. If you spend anytime at all online,...

The last two years haven’t been easy on anyone, but I would argue that people who had to figure out how to navigate having their children home with them the entire time had it worse than most. If you were a parent who was trying to suddenly work from home while your children went to...

Kids have a way of just saying pretty much anything that pops into their heads, and because they don’t have enough life experience to realize when they shouldn’t say something out loud, hilarity often ensues. Of course, the hilarity brought on by these blurted comments are funnier to strangers than they are to the mortified parents...
