Finally, a story from the A..ehem… point of view! These are rare; most of the stories I read get another verdict. It’s usually the morally correct side that gets to tell the story, but luckily for us, there are some exeptions where the narrator is blissfully unaware of it’s implications in the story.

Woman pays for her sister’s plane ticket to attend the wedding, but the sister exchanges it for a voucher: ‘A few days later she asked me to send her the $1,200 voucher’

Being so ridiculous trying to save some money is funny The woman in this story should simply laugh it off and move on, honestly. There is no way in the world this is logical reasoning for anyone. Her sister is simply trying to pay less than everyone else using a random justification. If I were her, I would look at my sister in the eye and laugh.

Woman says she and her husband should pay half the price for a family trip since they count as only one household: ‘Her logic is that she and her husband should count as "one" unit since they are a married couple’

Cooking is a beautiful thing, but it shouldn’t be limited to a gender Our parents grew up with a very different education; we can't blame them for their gendered ideas about cooking and chores. We can try to actualize them, for sure, but they are entitled to their opinions and preferences.

I wish careers were inherited; it would make things so much easier No training, no education, only good old heritage. I’m not even joking; it would be easier and even fun.

The typical case of a gift that’s not really for you Some people can’t see beyond their own noses; even when they’re giving you a gift, they’re thinking about themselves. They’re also impossible to talk to, and no matter how much you point out what’s happening, they will not see it, so you might have to call it quits.

We have to be very careful differentiating between a lack of discipline and simply not liking a sport Parents sometimes want something for their kid and forget to ask them if they want it. That’s what I assume it’s happening to the father in this story. His daughter doesn’t strike me as volatile; she plays sports, she achieves relative success, I think she might not like it as much, and that’s about it.

Father refuses to support his daughter’s ever-changing hobbies: ‘I just can’t keep giving in and pouring into different things that she won’t stick with. I have 2 other daughters that it’s also taking away from’

Healthy families don’t view their son’s partners as intruders. They might not like them; they might think they aren’t the best for their sons, but they respect their sons' decisions Most families are far from what’s ideal in terms of behavior; that’s why new marriages have to be really clear in enforcing their boundaries.
