There's divorce, and then there's burning every bridge you've ever built! This stage mom of a 16-year-old is sharing her story about what happened when she and her husband decided to call it quits via email, and it is a messy story. Up next, read about these employees who got fired almost as soon as they started the job , like one dude who refused to wear safety gear, telling the supervisor “no” to his face!

Drawing boundaries with family members is often a necessity. It's not fun to do, but if you don't do it, people are going to rely on you well into their adult years, when they are supposed to be independent. Here , we're not dealing with an overly kind and compromising parent to a needy adult man-child, which is often the case when we come across these stories. Instead, we're dealing with an overly kind and compromising nephew to an even more childish and messy uncle. This uncle had a series of…

When an entitled aunt decided to bring along eight friends for an international trip to a family member's wake, she clearly crossed a line. Not only did she expect her family to cover the friends' accommodations, but she also thought her presence would be a welcome addition to the somber occasion. The niece, who was driving to pick up the aunt and other family members, found herself waiting over an hour for their arrival. When the aunt finally showed up, she arrived with all her friends in tow,…

Tacky doesn't even begin to describe this aunt's wild behavior at her family member's home . If you visit your grandparents frequently, you get to know their house like the back of your hand. You probably cook with them or spend time lounging in their living room, and unexpected visits might be commonplace. But when a member of the family who keeps their distance suddenly shows up and tries to make themself at home, it's going to raise some eyebrows. This aunt was not even related to Grandma by…

The only reason any of us are enduring our workday for the sake of a measly paycheck is because life is expensive. Watching our bills, groceries, car payments, and rent go up every month isn't exactly an encouraging reality, but only a deluded person would think that the luxuries in life (like a full fridge and gas in your car) would come without a price tag–but then again...

Family get-togethers always bring an unnecessary amount of shade and entitlement. As you get older, you only notice it more and more and ti just becomes less and less bearable. That's what food and drink are for. However, this Redditor wasn't even allowed to partake in that because his petty Aunt Karen refused to let him sit at the “adult's table” despite him being a fully-grown man at this point. Instead, he had to six at a table of six years olds once again.

‘Your granny is a petty revenge master’

There's this general idea online and in life that pregnant people deserve special treatment. You're probably holding your breath reading this, wondering where I'm going with that statement—and before you get too outraged, let me just say that, yes, absolutely, that idea and treatment is resoundingly deserved. After all, they're growing a whole new person inside of them—an astonishing feat that deserves special recognition before you even factor in the ordeal of troubling side effects that come…

Some people get really hung up on thank-you cards . Plenty of folks place a high value on gift-giving, and for some reason, they are also very insistent on receiving a thank-you note. Thanking the gift-giver as you open their present should be enough, right? When you can look the person in the eyes and genuinely appreciate their thoughtfulness and chat about the gift, that seems like it should be sufficient. But some people believe that if you don't send a physical thank-you card as soon as pos…

Anytime a wedding includes a blending of cultures, there are bound to be feathers that get rustled the wrong way. We all would hope that our family members could be cool enough to just back off and not over-step in the wedding planning, but we all know how family matters go– someone's going to take things too far.

A family dinner accidentally set off a major disagreement between an aunt and her niece. Families: can't live with ‘em, can’t live without 'em. No one knows how to push your buttons more than the people you grew up with. Sister is Ria, aunt is Jana

Aunt Karen never seems to learn her lesson.

One mom did not hold back while demanding swimming lessons for her son - for free.

This aunt is so confused why her niece Sarah is demanding so much money from her. This aunt took to r/AmItheA**hole to ask the internet if she was in the wrong. As she explained, while she was at a family event, she had been gifted a box of chocolates. While the chocolates looked expensive, they also looked a little off to the OP, but she figured that might just be how the candy looked. However, she writes that she “didn't really do anything about it,” and gave some to her niece when she asked.…

Here's further proof that money certainly doesn't bring families together!

This is going to be the most expensive mistake this teen ever made after her aunt considers suing her! On a throwaway account, this woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with an important question regarding a family matter. As the OP writes, she married into a wealthy family who shower her with expensive presents . One of those happens to be a coat worth over $20,000! The OP writes that originally, she was hesitant to wear it after finding out how pricey the garment was. Apparently she had a premoniti…
