Sometimes giving a gift becomes a way of establishing an obligation on another person I’m not saying this behavior is a conscious choice; in fact, I believe it mostly never is. But regardless of whether it’s conscious or not, it still happens, and I think we should all start being wary of it.

22-year-old woman cooks for friend and then takes home the groceries they both paid for: ‘She then proceeds to split every single item in half, regardless if, for my portion; she, for example, used 1 slice of cheese from the 14 bought’

Are the youngest generations bad at making friends, or do we just not understand them? There are a couple of reasons why Gen Z might seem worse at relationships than previous generations. By now, we’ve all realized that social media has created new forms of intimacy that have reshaped how we think about relationships.

Woman reflects on why Gen Z is so bad at friendship: ‘There is a huge need for belonging, but very little tolerance for other people's mistakes’

If you don’t see a problem with living at your parents' house at age 31, you might want to look again Everyone can go through a rough patch and have to move back to their parents'.

31-year-old man says he sees no problem with living with his parents indefinitely: ‘I just don’t see a reason to move out. I enjoy living here. I have a side entrance to get into the house, so there’s a bit of privacy’

I don’t think overreacting is the right word for what happened in this story How a person handles money is as important as how they handle many other things. And knowing how people manage their income is a crucial part of getting to know them.

Woman disappointed with how her friend handles money: ‘It also hit a nerve because I’ve had this issue with family too, where people seem to assume that because I have nice things, I can just absorb costs’

Mothers-in-law are a trope in fairy tales for a reason Apparently, this is an ancient behavior; mothers-in-law have been getting too involved in their son’s relationships for a long time. The only relationships that survive are the ones that manage to keep the mothers-in-law at bay.

Intrusive mother-in-law rearranged granddaughter’s nursery without permission: ‘She's commented on my cooking, my "Instagram parenting," and once told Nora in front of me that "Grandma will teach you how things are really done"’

Being so ridiculous trying to save some money is funny The woman in this story should simply laugh it off and move on, honestly. There is no way in the world this is logical reasoning for anyone. Her sister is simply trying to pay less than everyone else using a random justification. If I were her, I would look at my sister in the eye and laugh.

Woman says she and her husband should pay half the price for a family trip since they count as only one household: ‘Her logic is that she and her husband should count as "one" unit since they are a married couple’

Cooking is a beautiful thing, but it shouldn’t be limited to a gender Our parents grew up with a very different education; we can't blame them for their gendered ideas about cooking and chores. We can try to actualize them, for sure, but they are entitled to their opinions and preferences.

Woman demands her 24-year-old daughter cook for her and her boyfriend: ‘He even now asks me to make him and my mom a plate of food if my mom asks because he doesn’t want to’

I wish careers were inherited; it would make things so much easier No training, no education, only good old heritage. I’m not even joking; it would be easier and even fun.

Woman gets promoted, and her 34-year-old sister immediately assumes she’s ‘inheriting’ the job despite having no training for it: ‘Yesterday she updated her LinkedIn to say she's starting at my company. She has not applied’

Gen Z’s strong entitlement is nothing new, but it’s time we do something about it Let’s face it, this is partially our fault. An entire generation failed them at the most basic level:

Manager exposes Gen Z employees’ entitlement: ‘The older folks I manage, at least, know how to act right even if they might be annoyed with me deep down, and at least perform basic compassion’

Healthy families don’t view their son’s partners as intruders. They might not like them; they might think they aren’t the best for their sons, but they respect their sons' decisions Most families are far from what’s ideal in terms of behavior; that’s why new marriages have to be really clear in enforcing their boundaries.

Man prioritizes his wife’s plans and family reacts badly: ‘My family got upset and said I'm changing since I got married. They also said my wife is slowly pulling me away from them’

I swear to God, this is somewhat normal behaviour in the ‘fitness community’. Why are they so obsessed with making everyone else follow their strict eating habits and rules?

Sometimes you’re NTA on paper, but you kinda are in real life. I think the man who’s telling this story is bringing an old grudge into it, and I can’t pinpoint exactly why. It’s something about how he describes the other dude’s food preferences,
