'[Am I wrong] for telling my husband the nanny is in charge?': Husband objects to wife telling him to defer to the nanny's judgement for their children

It's understandable to be upset about being told how to take care of your own children, but if you're not spending the time with them to develop the best processes and are paying someone to do so—you'd better put your ego aside, let them do their job, and listen to them. That's what this online community agreed on when the topic was shared on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. They decisively voted that this wife was not in the wrong for telling her work-focused husband to defer to the nanny's…

'She needs a time out': Karen gets shut down by a 5-year-old

There is nothing more brutally cutting than the honest remarks of a child. Their lack of filter and a forming understanding of the world can bring forth some surprisingly perceptive comments that no adult would ever dare think—let alone utter out loud. These comments are usually directed at family or caretakers. They can sufficiently ruin days and demolish the egos of those people. That alone can be a lot to handle, but when they're directed toward complete strangers, it can be humiliating. Tha…

'My partner hasn't done a load of laundry in ten years': Wife takes vacation away from family, husband doesn't know what to do with himself

It's remarkable yet unsurprising how dependent this guy is on his wife. For one, they've been together for 12 years and he's fully 37 years old. In other words, he should be able to do a load of laundry, sweep and clean their home, and take care of the kids by himself for a few nights… especially because that's precisely what his wife has been doing every day since they've been parents. She shared this thread via Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. He works in IT and gets exhausted from his ful…

'This makes zero sense': Woman's plane travel plans baffle her family

'This makes zero sense': Woman's plane travel luggage hack baffles her family

I thought I'd heard every travel hack , until I read this one, that is. I can truly say I've never thought about treating my luggage the way this woman plans to. Airports are quite strict with their luggage requirements. If you don't look it up before you go, you'll be stuck with a suitcase that's too big or too heavy, meaning you'll have to cough up some cash to fly your precious belongings along with you. And heaven forbid you have liquids that are more than 3.4 ounces, or have a carry on tha…

These people shared the most awkward situations they've ever been in, and it's giving us second-hand embarrassment. Awkwardness is pretty unavoidable in life, no matter how cool you think you are. A lot of people shared stories from their childhoods and teenage years , which, let's face it, are certainly some of the most awkward years of ones' life . For some reason, dealing with meal times while with friends has caused a lot of uncomfy situations for people. It's probably because teens eat a l…

'There is my wife recording': Man wants wife to stop videoing their family, but wife disagrees because she's 'big on social media'

Thanks to smart phones, any moment can be videoed or photographed , and not everyone is okay with that. Smart phones have made our lives infinitely easier, I wouldn't deny that. However, the cost of everyone having a smart phone is that any and every thing is recordable now. From people's best moments to their worst, people aren't afraid to pull out their phones and start filming. Then, they often share it to social media, where they can share it with friends, rake in likes and comments, and po…

‘I’m frankly disgusted': Karen offers $140 to buy a rare Pokemon card worth $20,000, then goes berserk on her son's after-school counselor when he tells her 'it's not for sale'

‘I’m frankly disgusted': Karen offers $140 to buy a rare Pokemon card worth $20,000, then goes berserk on her son's after-school counselor when he tells her 'it's not for sale'

Kids love Pokemon. The idea of training a powerful imaginary creature that equal parts lethal as they are adorable is intoxicating. As we grow up, the nostalgic element of the Poke-franchise evolves into a monetized machine. One Pokemon lover and volunteer childcare worker recently discovered exactly how tainted Pokemon trade can become when folks lose sight of the original pleasures of the game (ie: when Karens get involved).

'You burned a bridge': Man would rather catch up on sleep than babysit his nephew, meanwhile the boy's aunt undergoes treatment in the ICU after a potentially fatal car accident

Some people would do pretty much anything for their family. As Dominic Toretto always said, :The most important thing in life will always be family". Well, for one Redditor, the most important thing in his life, is sleep. And apparently nothing in this world could threatened to deprive him of his 8 hours– not even the near d3ath experience of a family member.

This artist has a friend who may become an ex-friend following a heated childcare squabble. There are some “fun” careers that people tend to dismiss as not being “real work.” Even if your job seems fun to the people watching from the outside, that doesn't mean it lacks concentration, skill, and time management. This artist is dealing with that right now! Her friend seems to be under the impression that as an artist, the OP can just goof off and play with art supplies while watching the friend's…

AITA: 'I told my sister she is an evil human being who doesn't deserve to be a mother': Pregnant sister steals the baby name of her brother's stillborn child only a few weeks after they lost it

Family names are super important to some people to pass down to their children. A family name represents heritage while also honoring your loved ones, but is it worth torturing your living family for the sake of the rights to a name? One man recently just found out how far his sibling was willing to go just so that they could make a grab for the family name, throwing his family's agony back in his face.
