'Her kids are not my responsibility': Coworker invites herself to Broadway show, then complains she can't afford it

Here's a cautionary tale about letting coworkers into your personal life. This woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a question about her role in a feud with her coworker: “AITA for telling my coworker her bad decisions and her kids are not my responsibility?” As u/BroadwayThrowaway1 writes, the whole disagreement started because she was going to a Broadway show with her nine year old daughter.

‘He chucked it into their pool’: Retired engineer uses skills to get even with neighbors after reaching neighborly limit

So when his neighbor committed multiple neighborly mishaps, he got creative. This story certainly gives engineers a petty name, in the best way possible… and definitely will make people think twice before they throw their grass clippings into their neighbor's backyard. You never know who your neighbor really is… what i…

'iT's OuR mOnEy': Hardworking daughter gets her college fund robbed after graduation when her parents surprise her with a baby brother and revoke half of her college savings

Wrestling student debt after you graduate college is a lot like taking on a polar bear in a 1v1, mano-a-mano fist fight. The odds are certainly against you and even if you manage to beat the bear, you'll likely freeze out in the cold arctic tundra afterwards. You may have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans that you owe the Feds, but at least you took home a piece of paper that says that you know how to shotgun a beer before writing a 10 page research paper on gender studies.

'Ban TikTok': Teen cuts off her twin brother's long hair as a prank, mom makes her get the same haircut as punishment

TikTok trends are usually only going viral because some audacious teenager got footage of themselves doing something stupid, obscene, or way out of line. As a parent, trying to teach your kids between right and wrong is difficult enough, but when all your teenager wants is to get likes on their videos and social media validation, the moral high-ground starts to look pretty lame.

'Be careful what you wish for': Snarky mother pulls an uno reverse on her picky-eater 8 year old, feeding her the same meal for a week to teach her a lesson

Kids go through phases of being little menaces. Sometimes that 'phase' extends into their entire lifetime, bit it's pretty much guaranteed when they're under 10 years old. By the time they're in 2nd or 3rd grade, they think they have the world figured out. They don't need mom and dad telling them what to do anymore and they become indignant, stubborn, picky babies once again.

AITA: 'UNFAIR': Wealthy father stops bankrolling the college fund of his frivolous son, favoring his financially responsible daughter instead

If you've ever heard the tale of the prodigal son, you know that father's love their children no matter how financially irresponsible they are, but in reality, how far does that love go? Now, when you come from a rich family, that love is (unfortunately) quantifiable in the form of crisp dolla dolla bills. For some reason, rich children feel that they're entitled to the entirety of their parent's fortunes and don't ever realize the value.

‘Figure it out': 22-year-old college girl gets financially cut off when her judgmental father finds out she's been working as a stripper for extra cash

Working to pay your way through college is exhausting and extremely difficult. Not only are you just learning how to live on your own– buying groceries, doing laundry, balancing life/work/everything else –but you're a hormonal basket-case that's hellbent on accidentally ruining your own life with drunken mistakes, failing to pay your utilities on time, and taking that required gender studies course. Now when finances are an added concern, things get ever trickier because you're attempting to pl…
