Mother-son dances can result in some very sweet moments at weddings. Up next, read about one irate 18-year-old who happened to catch his parents talking about him behind his back that he posted it to social media, writing that his parents just “ didn't notice my phone was recording .”

When working with a team, there is a delicate balance between doing your individual work and fulfilling your part as a teammate. We all want the team to be successful and a good fit for everyone, while still putting ourselves first, which is not an easy challenge. If a coworker approached you today and asked you to help them with some of their tasks , would you have agreed, even though that is not your responsibility? The reality is, that both answers to this question are completely valid. If y…

You need to learn some lessons by experiencing it yourself, even if everyone around you is telling you it's a bad idea, sometimes that message isn't going to sink in without experiencing it through your own folly. Still, as parents , you need to make sensible decisions around when to protect your kids from their own wants and whims and when to let things proceed as-is and let them figure it out. Being overprotective is going to keep them from being able to properly figure out how to navigate di…

Traveling to visit family for holidays can be a real delight, but there's definitely a limit to the distance and time traveled at which the whole affair becomes too long for a simple day trip. By the time you factor in 3-hours there and 3 hours back, that's pretty much the day gone just there; there's not really that much holiday left to enjoy outside of the time spent together in the car. You could stay with them for the night but still, staying in someone else's house feels burdensome, and in…

If homeowner's associations exist for one purpose, it's to get even with your local neighborhood Karen! Here, we have a new resident in a suburban neighborhood with a strict HOA, who asked her next-door neighbor if she could use his trash cans for pickup while she waited for her own can to get delivered. Cut to one month later, and this lady was still using her neighbor's trash cans, so much so that the bins were frequently overflowing. This was a clear violation of the HOA policies, and the ne…

It's the holiday season once again! Families around the world will gather together to celebrate. Maybe you look forward to these holiday parties yourself! Walking into a warm cozy home full of smiling faces, gifts for all, and plenty of delicious food is the start to a great holiday. However, once you start seriously dating someone, you realize that you'll have to choose where to spend the holidays. Everyone has a different approach to this: some continue to go to their respective parent's home…

Let's take a peek behind the curtain: what are these families squabbling about right now? No two families are alike, and none of them are perfect, either. Whether your family is just two people and a pet, or two parents and 2.5 kids, or a giant mixed family with stepparents, there's plenty of love to go around. Each family has to figure out how to navigate their lives together: for example, some families have dinner together each night, and they work out any issues while eating a casserole. But…

Some types of pranks should be off-limits. Here, we have a 26-year-old guy who had been dating his girlfriend for two years when she decided to stage a “cheating prank” wherein she would film herself with her boyfriend's best friend and make it look like they were hooking up. That plan was ultimately thwarted when the boyfriend walked in on them whilst they were in the middle of filming their “prank.” Even after plenty of explanation proving their so-called innocence, this was a bridge too far…

I remember being so frustrated as a kid and into my teenage years as my extended family tried to optimize Christmas further and further every year to ease the burden on the family member hosting. And, to be fair, with a large extended family hosting a holiday was no small thing, and being young and completely blind to the exhaustive burden that life as an adult brings, I didn't appreciate that an additional monumental task of planning, cooking, cleaning and hosting that having the family around…

After a few social media videos were posted, an entire family was forced to confront the issues between their kids. After that, read about these terrible gift-givers who gave out bad presents , like one person who gave “a single sock.”

Rooming with other people for the first time in the twilight years of your teens and early twenties is a grab bag of experiences. No one has any idea how to best properly live life yet (not that we ever figure that one—if someone reading this has, please let me know), and everything is constantly changing around them. Decisions are made on the fly, with consequences being an afterthought. You might meet someone one week and hit it off, deciding to room for an entire year the next week—oh, what…

What kind of stepmother holds a grudge against someone because of a choice they made when they were 11? Well, the short answer to that question is this Redditor's stepmom, but the longer answer is someone so self-absorbed and out-of-touch that they have no ability to step outside of their own experience, This Redditor was dealing with the sudden loss of her biological mother right before her father's second wedding. Obviously, that is a lot of emotional turbulence for a pre-teen to endure, but…

Up next, read about the bride who found the dress of her dreams , but since her mom finds it “childish and embarrassing,” she's now second-guessing herself!

Cosmetic items in games continue to reach new highs—when it comes to pricing—and lows in terms of the actual value you're getting for what you're paying for. Back when we were playing Nintendo 64s, the last thing any of us would have imagined was that one day, we'd be paying for unfinished games and senseless cosmetics. Now, thanks to the rise of updates and downloadable content, even our favorite and storied developers are shipping games that are missing content to be added later as “updates”…

Nobody is quite sure when this drive-thru ‘pay it forward’ trend has become popular, but by now, we are no strangers to it. If you are, well, here is a quick explanation. It all starts with one person who wants to do something small to make a stranger happy. They decide to do that by going to a drive-thru and asking the barista to charge them for the order of the car behind them, so they get their order for free. A small gesture, that usually doesn't cost that much, to make someone else a littl…

When talking to new parents, one of the biggest changes they would mention about becoming a parent is how they are no longer only living for their own sake. Having a kid means that your existence and purpose in life do not revolve around you anymore, but it revolves around this completely separate human being. This creates a firm distinction between good and bad parents – Good parents see this change as beautiful and meaningful, and bad parents teach themselves to resent their kids for it. It s…
