16-year-old twin sisters clash over shared friend groups and overlapping personal lives: 'Get your own friends'

Siblings are a difficult part of growing up—even when you're an adult, you're going to be prone to troubles with them. But, during your developmental years, you're going to be constantly compared to them—both by yourself and others. This creates complex psychological interworking and can create complex disorders and issues. And this is just with normal siblings; I can't claim to have one myself, but I can only imagine that with twins, it's a lot harder. No longer are they only similar to you or…

17-year-old's contemptible family board game strategy earns her the frustration of her mother and family who accuse her of "cheating": 'Everything I did was within the rules'

All may be fair in love and war, but when it comes to family board game nights, you can expect the gloves to come off if you go for below-the-belt strategies. Nothing causes family arguments like a competitive board game—heck, even Candy Land games can get heated when someone draws that plum card at the end of a close game—or rockets ahead with a lucky snowflake draw early on. And that's before you get into games that have actual strategy Board games from the beginning of the “Board Game Renais…

34-year-old wife checks 37-year-old husband's dashcam footage, discovers he dumped their "missing" 13-year-old dog: '[He] drove off without her'

If he tries to dump your dog, you better dump him back! As Liz Lemon would say, “That's a dealbreaker, ladies!” This wife was out of town with her 7-year-old daughter while her husband stayed at home to take care of their 13-year-old dog, Ellie. Ellie was old and slow; in other words, she wasn't the kind of dog to just run away. This is why the wife became immediately suspicious when her husband called them to report that Ellie had run off. When she and her daughter returned home, the wife beca…

Parents can be awfully sensitive to hearing criticisms about their kids. They can sometimes take it personally, even if the other person didn't mean anything by it. Up next, read about the things that had people rolling their eyes at the movie theater, like one person who was dismayed that someone in front of them “used a laptop throughout a movie last night.”

Man accuses friends of micromanaging the expenses on their vacation, they claim they shouldn't pay for what he overly spends, he refuses to go on future trips as a result: ‘I can't do this’

Man accuses friends of micromanaging the expenses on their vacation, they claim they shouldn't pay for what he overly spends, he refuses to go on future trips as a result: ‘I can't do this’

Going out with a large group of friends is great fun until the bill comes along and you all have to decide how to pay in a way that will please everyone. There is always one person who can't be bothered with doing the math and just wants to split the bill evenly between everyone, and another who didn't even eat anything and thinks it's unfair that they have to pay the same amount as everyone else. That is why I recommend electing a designated calculating friend who is fine with doing all the ma…

34-year-old dude loses it after 28-year-old fiancée responds to his breakup speech with an apathetic "okay"

Everyone responds differently to breakups. Some people burst into tears and others immediately put up walls and bottle everything up so as not to give their now-former partner the satisfaction of having made them cry. Obviously, bottling everything up is not necessarily the healthy option in these scenarios, but let's give the folks who opt to take this route a break. After all, they have just been dumped. Here, we have a 28-year-old woman who felt the breakup coming in her gut. She was engaged…

Forcing the things you like upon other people will be met with varied success. But, then and again, it is your day, and you should hold it how you want it But, even still, you have made somewhat of an obligation to properly feed the people who have gathered together to celebrate you, though there will be wildly different opinions of what “properly” is, and there's nothing worse than being left hungry at a wedding due to a lack of food. Still, you can imagine it would be wildly inappropriate

'I told her she is the reason I am an absent grandparent': Grandparent of 4 and 7-year-old kids tries to visit with little success, daughter is shocked when her parent decides to move away

This grandparent is tired of spending time with their grandkids, but they may have a good reason for why that would be. As much as there's a prevailing stereotype of grandparents being thrilled to spend time with their grandkids , it's just not true for every family. In the beginning, when the kids are little, many grandparents dote on them and want to spend endless amounts of time with them. Some grandparents lavish the kiddos with gifts, while others love taking them to playgrounds or fun com…

Parents demand $250k from wealthy son so they could buy a house, son denies them the money, leading to a family dispute: ‘You were born as a retirement plan’

Do parents truly think that just because they decided to have and raise kids, their kids owe them anything in return as they get older? The funny thing is, if parents don't act like they are entitled to anything from their kids, and simply raise their kids with love and compassion, then the kids would grow up feeling like they want to help their parents when they are older, which is much better than feeling like they have to . But once parents act and talk to their kids as if their entire purpo…

16-year-old abandoned on birthday weekend to study for school while parents take 13-year-old brother on vacation: 'It wasn't right of her parents to exclude her'

Focusing on your kids' schooling and future is important, but it's easy to lose sight of the little things and moments along the way that are also important. Failing to nurture their unique skills and interests may cost them the chance to do something that they feel is fulfilling and rewarding and what they deem to be the success of their own lives. Also, pushing them too hard to be successful may be counterproductive and drive them into burnout, which takes years to recover from. Plus, we've s…

Wedding guest asked to leave when blacklight turns her dress into a banned color during the reception: 'I wore a dress that looks white under a black light'

You don't wear white to a well-lit or naturally-lit normal wedding. Apparently, you also don't wear yellow to a blacklight wedding either—so says this bridal party who asked a guest to leave after declaring her yellow dress to be inappropriate under the chosen ambient lighting. While we've read about some ridiculous situations where wedding guests have worn what might-as-well-be wedding dresses to their friend's or family member's wedding affairs, I think it's fair to say that this is not one o…

There is a lot of irresponsible parenting in this story. First, let's start with the stepsisters in question. This is a pair of 25 and 28-year-old single moms who were so reliant on the Redditor's 18-year-old daughter to babysit their kids that they couldn't possibly get a real babysitter to take care of them.
