family

On the one hand, it's nice to live in your own peaceful home without the risk of further fires. On the other hand, how much sympathy is the right amount to extend in order to keep your extended family off the streets? It's a bit of a rough one. Those kooky kids learn all sorts on the Tik Toks, like this dad who found out his daughter who filed her teeth for TikTok.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the wildest revelations that came to light after various families tried out those Ancestry DNA tests. This certainly isn't the first time that we've encountered some crazy Ancestry DNA drama. We had the one dude who ended up creating chaos in his family after purchasing one of the $99 kits. We also had that other story about a family getting completely blindsided by an emotionally shocking secret from another one of the kits. 

In a whirlwind of family drama, this mom has had to deal with her son trying to sell her house and move to his college city so he can live rent free. Isn't there some kind of financial aid for this kind of thing? You know, instead of sabotaging your mom's life? Family drama can get pretty out there, like this woman who trained her cousin's horrible kids like dogs or this son who rented out his stepmom's house for giving away his PS4.

Entering into a family has got to be weird, and it seems like grandma here hasn't exactly warmed up to the idea of having two extra grand kids. Is she deliberately being a jerk or is she unfairly being obligated to extend her grandmalyness to two new in-law grandchildren? The internet deliberated. Family politics can have big ramifications, like when this sister was uninvited from a wedding for her comments

This dad asked the folks in Reddit's AITA community whether or not he was in the wrong for giving his kids' a stiff reality check. Pretty much everyone agrees with dad's decision to set his children straight. It seems fair enough. You wouldn't want to see your kids waste away a meaningful chunk of their lives, not trying to chase the careers that could fulfill them, because they're operating under the assumption that they'll be getting a big payout from daddy's inheritance later on down the road. If anything, that's just kind of messed up. 

It seems as if this world will never be in short supply of entitled choosing beggars with their audacious demands. Just because you're someone's family member too doesn't mean that you're off the hook when it comes to irrational demands that never should've been made in the first place. This person's family member for instance expects to be able to get their earrings back that they gave away 10 years ago. I mean, come on with all that noise. You've got to be kidding me. 

Nothing adds to the entitlement just like the whole "boss's kid" mentality. At least the dad went and did something about it. The kid even tried to frame another employee. For some more work-related foibles, here are the fastest ways people's co-workers got fired. For another kid stepping way over his bounds, here's a manipulative son who tried to sell his mom's house and cancelled her job interview.

Many folks out there have a family member who just seems continually committed, if not addicted to being the center of attention. Some folks are just born into this world wanting all the attention all the time. If it's a family member, you'll often do your best to adapt to that big personality, but sometimes special, life-defining occasions arrive and you don't want to risk that narcissistic family member making your special day all about them. That would seem to be the case here with these twin sisters. It sounds like the twin sister in this scenario doesn't have a great track record of being selfless at all.

Just because they're family doesn't mean that they get a free pass. Sometimes the very people you love most in this world end up also being the ones that seem bent on spreading all the toxicity that you could ever imagine. If you find yourself in a situation like this unfortunate soul did with a sister who just wouldn't act decent, it really falls on you to make sure that the toxic person is removed from the environment. As hard as that might be, sometimes it's the only way to preserve a momentous occasion. 

Now this is sibling rivalry at its very finest. If you have any siblings and you happen to know that they're well trained in the dark art of computer hacking, it's probably best to never consider lifting their iPod/personal device. This brother was certainly ready to leap at his chance to carry out a brutal pro revenge. 

If you're a dad, know a dad, or have even seen a dad these will resonate with extra fatherly dad-ishness. Here are some dad memes to keep those dads going through these dark times. There's just a lot of rad dad memes to achieve dad dreams.

If anyone out there has a famous relative that they've grown up with, then they've likely encountered many scenarios where they've been forced to be especially mindful of their relative's privacy. Fame can be quite the costly thing in one's life when it comes to being able to celebrate the holidays without having your privacy invaded by mobs of hungry paparazzi, or family members just trying to leech off the money and toys that can come with the fame. In this case, it sounds like the guy's poor cousin was just trying to have a Christmas where he could carry on like he was living a normal life. Unfortunately, the cousin wasn't able to do so due to a surprise guest. 

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for hiding his inheritance money from his girlfriend and her family. The tough part about this particular predicament is that they had a kid together. A fair number of people are suggesting that the guy should try to be transparent when it comes to those finances. 

Man, we wish this was the first time we were encountering a ridiculous situation involving one person expecting the other person to change their cat/baby's name, because they want that precious name for their baby as well. It's a strange and completely delusional situation of ungodly entitlement. All you can really do with anyone who is making that request of you is to try and give them the reality check they so clearly need. This scenario sounds like such a nightmare that it's genuinely hard to believe it's real. For another ridiculous situation involving some baby name drama, check out this woman's sister-in-law who wanted to name her baby "Alibi." 

Honestly, it sounds like there were some folks in this family that could've benefited from not making assumptions about their ancestry, and then proceeding to carve a whole lifestyle out of it. It can really pay off in the long run to just do your research, before making those big moves, like assuming you're Native American when you're actually Eastern European. Hopefully, this family was able to put their differences aside, quell the rage, and ultimately make up.
