In a perfect world, everyone would have to pass a test to prove they are worthy of having children. The fact that anyone can become a parent, without any requirements or supervision, is quite honestly insane. In that perfect world, where parents have to prove their capabilities to become parents, they would actually have a good relationship with their kids. And who wouldn't want to have that? A healthy and happy relationship with their kids? Since we are not living in a perfect world, parents l…

Her money, their problem

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…

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

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…

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

Hosting events is a lot of work; there's a house to be cleaned, food to be prepped, and a lot of general setup that needs to be taken care of. When it's family, it's even more so to do—it's probably a good idea to hide the things your family won't approve of and save yourself the judgment. Family hosting schedules help to ease the burden of any one person having to host too often, and the reality is that for a member of the family to drop from hosting duties places a disproportionate amount of…

Your glass should never be empty when the in-laws visit

If you've ever ended up with a nightmare roommate, you'll appreciate the prank this guy pulled on his entitled roommate. The Original Poster (OP) in this story had just graduated college, landed a job, and lucked into a seemingly perfect living arrangement...only to discover that his roommate, a former classmate no less, is just as he remembered her. Entitled.

If you say so...

"How is it my fault you had a debt that I covered?"

When you try to out-Karen, a fuel truck driver, you're basically begging for karma to swoop in. This particular Karen found that out the hard way. The driver had parked his truck to make a fuel delivery, blocking all the front parking spaces at the gas station. Driving a Tesla, Karen couldn't be bothered to park a little farther away. She moved the cones and parked right by the door. When the driver politely asked her to move, she told him to "get bent." So, naturally, he parked his truck inche…

A few months back, a woman’s next-door neighbor, Karen, decided to start teaching yoga classes in her backyard. At first, it seemed harmless enough—just a few mats by the fence. But soon, the “backyard” yoga sessions started creeping over into her neighbor’s lawn. Before long, Karen’s entire group of yogis was taking over half of her neighbor’s yard every Saturday morning. When the neighbor politely asked Karen to keep her classes to her own side, Karen just laughed, saying, “It’s all one big...

What happened to "excuse me"?

Far worse than a cash bar

"When asked for it, we asked how we could pay it back, and they said just show us a fun time when we come to visit."
