It's ok to have feelings; they're only natural and not something that we can always control. Still, it's not ok for you to take those feelings out on other innocent people in your life who have done nothing wrong to cause the situation. That's the mistake that this father-to-be made when he decided to take out his “gender disappointment” on his pregnant wife. The two had been expecting their first child, but upon learning that the child was to be a girl, the father-to-be began giving his wife t…

Texting is a way of life for most people, an activity they do dozens of times per day, so it only makes sense that some insane messages will leak out to the internet. Whatever you write is set in stone, even if you delete the message. So you have to be careful what you're saying — you never know when it will be posted on the internet for the LOLz. Because let's face it, people are super weird , and they just say the strangest, most unexpected things sometimes! Some of the funniest texting fails…

Caring for other people's kids can be an enticing career for those who like working with children; the only downside is that—well… they're other people's children. This means that you have to deal with the often inaccurate perceptions of other adults, who hold tight to their wildly inaccurate beliefs, with these same adults also holding the final say over what goes with their children, no matter how damaging their decision might be. When working as a nanny, these problems intensify. Long and of…

The sibling relationship may be one of the most complex: two individuals who have interacted and competed throughout the entire duration of their challenging developmental years. These years of ever-shifting emotional conflict can foster incredibly strong, near-unbreakable bonds; or can form two individuals who can't stand to be in the same room as one another. Jealousy is one of the main contributors to the latter result; oftentimes, one sibling may begin to feel resentment toward their family…

One might think that when one of your parents gets cheated on by the other, resulting in a soon-to-be new brother or sister, you might not exactly be over the moon. At the very least, you might think that one would carry some empathy for the parent who was suffering, not the one who lied about their infidelity and then oops, got another woman pregnant. Sigh… I don't know if it's a generational thing, or if we were just as self-centered back in the day, but this is unacceptable behavior and says…

This Holiday season, it seems that families were arguing about nepotism!

Parenting is exhausting; at its worst, it's like a marathon that you run uphill for 18 years with no water stations and no end in sight. That's why it's a godsend when you can find someone (whether a bribed family member or paid caretaker) who can take your child off you for a few hours. Of course, for some parents, this whole time is spent worrying whether or not the child is alright and being adequately cared for — others still might be able to enjoy their time but be relieved when they retur…

Tough luck.

In life, there will always be people you don't get along with perfectly. For the most part, people tend to keep the peace and not destroy relationships. But as these people below shared, when someone no longer has power over your life, it can be the perfect time to gloat! On the r/askreddit sub, the question was posed: What was the best "you have no power here" moment you have ever seen? And people sure had some entertaining answers! Their tales of sweet sweet revenge against their parents and…

This guy is not his parents' keeper!

When you make the decision to get married (or make some other long-term commitment of trust and reciprocity to another person), you should probably consider that person's needs, thoughts, and advice. This goes double, if not triple, when you make the decision to (or otherwise) have children. These people come first and foremost in your life, before any fun you might want to have with your friends and, certainly, before a ski trip. Imagine the cruel audacity to straight up ditch your wife and si…

There's nothing like changing someone's mind by proving them wholly and completely to be out of touch. Being able to smack them over the head with an indisputable “I told you so.” works more wonders than any amount of arguing ever could have.
