Everyone has problems—some may not be as bad, and others will be worse—a lot worse than yours. But that doesn't invalidate any one of those problems or anyone and their feelings. Yes, venting and sharing are good and can make you feel a lot better about your problems, but it's important that it's reciprocal. Like with anything in a relationship, you have to give as much as you take. This pregnant woman had been going through the motions with her friend, who was also pregnant. At first, she was…

Infertile? There are many ways to have a son or daughter that never involve pregnancy: you can adopt, you can foster, or you can steal your sister's baby before it's ever born...

Why do boomers want the next generations to suffer just as much as they did?

It's often said that HR is never on your side, but is merely there to maintain an equilibrium that will prevent the organization from opening itself to vulnerability or liability. They are there to manage the “human” resources of the company, and—well, that's you . Still, in instances where you're dealing with someone in the organization—be it a boss, coworker, or other party—who is so incredibly off base with their actions or reasoning, then it just makes sense to go to HR and help them see yo…

Sometimes, you need to know when to quit and when to walk away. Sometimes, you should also learn to take advice the first time it's given to you… especially when you directly asked for it. This couple would do well to learn this and listen to the advice they received from Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole community this week. The pair made separate posts to the sub to see whether or not the wife was in the wrong for her comments to her husband's sister. Her sister-in-law offered her some advice about th…

Sibling rivalry has been and always will be juicy!

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…

Hopefully, they will laugh about this years later...

This woman was written up by her employer for not doing her job fast enough after she returned to work following a miscarriage.

That child miiiiiight not be this person's son's kid.

A lot changed in 2020. We collectively learned as a society that many of our jobs could be done from the comfort of our homes. This meant no more commuting an hour in each direction, either inching forwards in rush hour traffic or wedged in next to a smelly dude on public transportation. All of our lives were better without that commute and the stuffy air of office politics, and it seemed that amidst great global panic, we had at least managed to take a step forward as a society.

There are just some thoughts that should never leave your head. Some of these thoughts can be cruel intrusions, but others can be something that you might want to get sorted out. A commenter offered a really helpful strategy for gauging whether we should let a thought out of our head that I think all of us should stop and reflect on before we speak. "There is the suggestion to THINK before you say something. That is, is what you are going to say T rue, H elpful, I nspiring, N ecessary, & K ind.…

This persistent mother-in-law wanted a vote (the only vote) on what their grandchild's name was going to be. She was determined to find a way to get her name selected one way or another before the child was born. She had managed to turn her son (the husband) to her side before his wife came up with this clever way to give her a “vote” and stop this nonsense once and for all. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the wife, u/Ok-Cranberry-9158, to share her gloriou…

A nurse made an assumption and then proceeded with an inappropriate judgment and course of action. Her patient had had enough and reacted to her treatment. Now the patient is wondering if she went too far. This thread was posted to r/AITA (Am I the Asshole) by the patient, u/teenmistakethrowaway (OP), who was facing judgment from the nurse. She is posting this thread to share her story and see whether or not she is in the wrong for her reactions to the nurse's attitude towards her. She notes th…

This husband told his wife that he wanted his mother to be present for the birth of their child. When their first child was born her mother was present as support for her daughter. Now the husband thinks that since she “got to choose” who was present last time he should get to choose this time. His wife told him he was crazy and now he's upset, who is in the wrong here? This thread was posted on Reddit's r/AITA subreddit by the wife, u/GoldSun777, who is appealing to the readers to see who is b…
