Entitled sister-in-law makes too many food demands for Thanksgiving dinner she's not even hosting, host gets even with leftovers: 'Radio silence after that!'

Entitled sister-in-law makes too many food demands for Thanksgiving dinner she's not even hosting, host gets even with leftovers: 'Radio silence after that!'

It's never fun when you have a guest who acts like she's the host. It takes a particular kind of human being to have that mentality during a family gathering, but if there's any event that attracts this type of personality, it's most certainly Thanksgiving. Here , we have an entitled sister-in-law who insisted on making a number of Thanksgiving dishes despite the fact that the Redditor expressed a desire to take the lead, as she was the host after all. On top of this tension going into the day,…

Happy Turkey Day —I hope you're already stuffing your face with turkey and mashed potatoes! No matter what food you're serving up on Thanksgiving Day , the important thing is who you're sharing it with. Maybe you're the one who cooks, and dozens of relatives show up to bring side dishes, share family news, and watch the football game. Or maybe you're the one going to a parent or aunt or uncle's home, bringing a side dish of your own and joining your cousins in a sports game outside. Some folks…

Sibling photoshops family photo tricking younger sibling into thinking for 14 years that they met "Harry Potter" when they were 6-years-old: '

Memories are a funny thing in that each memory is shaped and reformed every time you recall it, making them easily susceptible to suggestion. Essentially, every time you recall a memory, you destabilize it and partially “destroy” it with your brain, then completing a process called reconsolidation to re-store it with your current thoughts and emotions added. As a brief tangent, this one one of the reasons why witness testimony is so problematic. This fluidity and fallibility of memory and abili…

'[I'm] not buying my wife a plane ticket': Spouse refuses to let wife go on vacation while she recovers from high debt

This person has a serious chip on their shoulder about their wife's debt issue. Right off the bat, the topic of debt can make people really jumpy. No one likes to talk about what happens when you keep spending because it's fun, only to realize that you're sinking deeper and deeper into debt. As the debt balloons, it makes you sad, and that makes you want a little treat. The cycle continues, and it can be difficult to break. But with the right support and a good plan in place, there's still hope…

Mom gives away 16-year-old daughter's favorite limited-edition t-shirt, sparking confrontation between the two: 'My mom says that I shouldn't be upset because [she] bought it'

Regardless of whether or not you've achieved immaterial enlightenment or are neck deep in the current iteration of the social-media-fueled consumerist frenzy, it's more than likely that you possess things that are your favorite. Chances are these items have some sort of sentimental value—a keepsake from a loved one or photographs that are irreplaceable despite having no measurable value. They may have some monetary value, too, regardless of whether or not you'd ever want to sell them. Heck, may…

Karen forces son-in-law to finish food he can't eat, he gets even next time mother-in-law visits: 'You should have told me you didn't eat steak'

It's about that time of year when visiting one's in-laws is just around the corner. This means bracing yourself for the occasional passive-aggressive remark or awkward encounter. It also means preparing to find excuses to have some alone time and to draw boundaries. You simply cannot be “on” all the time with anyone, especially with family. This entitled Karen , however, was far more intense than your average mother-in-law. She frequently forced her son-in-law to eat food that he couldn't eat,…

Foster family decides 16-year-old adoptee's name is too short, tries to rename him: 'They don't like calling me Nico. So they call me Nicholas'

It really should go without saying that you can't just go around renaming people just because you don't like their name for some reason. Even if—no, especially if—that person is a foster kid under your care. Some things like this are so outrageously laughable and out-of-pocket that they would be silly if they weren't so cruel… This 16-year-old foster child found himself facing hostility from his new foster family's extended family, who apparently came to the decision that his name, “Nico,” was…

29-year-old sparks family feud after refusing to attend Thanksgiving this year over having to do the dishes: 'I’m just sick of being the only one expected to help'

For many of us, next week, we will be sitting around a large dinner table exchanging passive-aggressive remarks with family members before the tryptophan makes us all fall asleep before 9:00 pm. This is, of course, the most ideal scenario for Thanksgiving. We all know that in practice, something always goes wrong. These wrong outcomes can range from family members bickering over how to get all the dishes prepared and cooked in time to siblings letting old wounds out in the open. Anything can ha…

Many parents have to beg their children to pick up a book, but some have the exact opposite issue: They can't get their kids to stop reading! When you get really into reading as a child , you want to read all the time. Whether you're reading under the table at dinner time, or sneaking a flashlight into your room to read under the covers, you'll find any scrap of time to read. It's addicting to be engrossed in a fascinating mystery or a horror book. It's also a lot better than playing endless vi…
