"She believes that since she’s the eldest cousin, it’s technically hers by ‘right.’"

Who doesn't get embarrassed by their parents from time to time? Probably everyone was embarrassed by their parents as a teenager, and then you grow up and learn to embrace their quirks. But sometimes their behavior still makes you cringe really hard! U/cmarie22345 had a brief but interesting story to tell to the r/weddingshaming community. This person's dad just couldn't resist bragging about his kid a bit. Many dads love to do this, it must just come with the territory of being a loving father…

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...

A guest at a hotel couldn't believe the way the front desk clerk was talking to her. She thought it was rude — so she tried to get the employee fired. There's that old saying that goes, “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar,” meaning you should be nice to people in order to get what you want. It's that simple, and it works a lot of the time! People who work in customer service are far more familiar with the kinds of customers who are quick to anger, and this hotel guest is a great examp…

Talk about office drama!

When a family member becomes financially successful and is moving forward in life, why is it that hangers-on and fringe members of the family feel entitled to a piece of their success? Your cousin may be buying fancy jewelry and accessories with their new-found cash, but that certainly doesn't entitle you to a piece of their diamond encrusted pie.

Dirty dishes are the leading cause for roommate breakups. It's not proven or anything, but as anybody who has ever lived with another person knows, the passive aggressive nature of a maintaining a clean home can sometimes lead to horrific strife between you and your housemates. One Redditor recently felt the full force of roomie drama when he received an out-of-the-blue text from his roommate (who is also his older cousin).

Family and holidays often mix together in a variety of ways. It isn't all fun and roses… You need to walk on eggshells, for the most part, as everyone has their own special set of triggers. For example, maybe you don't want to mention that you're majoring in art to Grandpa, who thinks anything besides finance is a waste of time (This generation knows nothing!). And maybe don't mention that you've been taking yoga classes (our back, guys) to your mother, who doesn't shy away from her brutal opin…

Sometimes the fact that you have “privilege”—an edge over the competition, if you will… is an undeniable fact and you need to acknowledge that fact . If (or when) you do that, you might find that you gain back a little bit of respect.

All I can say is she had it coming!

This confused freelancer is unsure if they asked for way too much money to babysit their cousin's three youngsters. U/HENNYDEFN was pretty sure they weren't asking for too much money, but they checked with the r/AmItheA**hole community to be sure. As the OP writes, they're actually a software engineer who freelances on the side. They make between $40-$60 per hour at their official roles, but they were willing to offer a family discount when their cousin asked them to babysit . This cousin is br…

The lack of accurate information and general misunderstanding of anaphylactic reactions in the wider population astounds me. My leading theory for this is that it all goes back to the “People don't understand what they can't see.” discussion that is so pertinent when it comes to other unseen injuries and illnesses like traumatic brain injuries. “You look fine, so you must be fine!..” the same thing your mother used to tell you before she sent you to school with the flu. People generally don't u…

Talk about ick!

We know the Utah community is pretty tight knit, but we didn't know they were THIS close. Marcela Hill, an American content creator recently revealed a confession that she has been hiding for decades– she accidentally married her third cousin. For most people, that would be a pretty haunting and creepy fact to admit to your immediate family and close friends, but Marcela shared this intimate detail about her life to over 3 million followers on TikTok. She even jauntily added in her video, "when…

All's well that ends well — right? This internet user returned over a year later to provide an update on the family conflict that they had asked for the internet for advice on. The user is a baker who inherited her grandmother's secret spice cake recipe. The grandmother had left an open invitation to any member of the family who wanted to learn the recipe; all they had to do was join grandma for a baking session. To the poor dying grandmother's dismay, the poster of the thread (OP) was the only…

Well, I wouldn't want to attend this family's Thanksgiving dinner.
