Dad goes two months without meeting his newborn grandkid, then plans an unannounced visit, and daughter considers letting him drive hours to an empty house: ‘He can’t remember my kids’ names'

Do we get married to please family and friends? I don’t think the concept of marriage is independent of gatherings and celebrations; the origins of marriage as a ceremony are directly linked to community, family, and groups.

Being a scapegoat is not easy, especially if you are one in your family. This Redditor wonders how to soften what she confessed to her family (that she is almost never included), and I think it might be time to stop explaining and explore other groups of people. Dynamics, to continue functioning, have to be fed through both sides; if one stops, the dynamic can't perpetuate itself.

18-year-old holds her ground when parents expect her to hand over her old $1,000 laptop to 7-year-old half sister for free: 'Why should I be the one expected to absorb that cost?'

Sometimes gifts come with weird expectations attached. Well, they’re not exactly ‘weird’, but one typically assumes that a gift is a gift and it doesn’t have a receipt, but it does. In the majority of cases, it most certainly does.
