If you ever babysat as a teen, then you will feel this to your core. People think babysitting is an easy job, that's why teenagers are allowed to do it, right? Wrong. The only teenagers that don't struggle with babysitting are usually the ones who are older siblings and have had to watch over their younger siblings before. But if you as a teen who has zero experience in childcare, then you should be prepared for a lot of bumps on the road. For example, this 17-year-old Redditor who took to the…

Encountering entitled strangers is already a frustrating situation, but when it's your own family member being the mean entitled one then it's a whole other ballgame. You'd think your family is supposed to support you and encourage you to learn new things and better yourself. But sometimes family members can be jealous, egotistical, mean, and entitled. Sorry you're just trying to live your life and you crossed their path! It's easier to put a stranger in their place, but your own flesh and blo0…

While they certainly aren't the first family to squabble over baby names, this SIL sounds especially toxic to her other family members . People oftentimes feel strongly about the names they choose for their babies. After all, a name is the first thing someone knows about you, and it sticks with you for life. Some siblings choose the same name , fall in love with it, and fight about the name with their family, but not quite to the extent that this person did, as they shared in a post to r/Entitl…

Aren't families wonderful? Having someone in your life who insists on making everything about themselves is challenging… to say the least. Hijacking events to suit her own preference is probably only the tip of a very large hidden iceberg when it comes to dealing with this stepmother. This couple found themselves the target of the husband's evil stepmother after her efforts to claim a grandchild from her own children were thwarted. Her ambivalence and disinterest toward them and their pregnancy…

Being estranged from a family member can be tough, but if they're the toxic, narcissist type, for some folks, being away from their family is actually a huge relief. Distancing yourself from that sort of dynamic is the best thing to do, but when rotten family members come out of the woodwork in order to get something from you, it smells like trouble from a mile away. In this case, one man who was alienated from his family gets roped back into the drama

Family life is not always how prime time television conveys it. Sometimes it is simply toxic. You can try all you can to make it work, but it isn't always meant to be. Sometimes you have to get away from your family. That is never an easy epiphany to have. You're born into your family knowing nothing but the love they give you, and sometimes that makes you believe you don't deserve love at all. But hopefully through life growth, maturing, maybe a little therapy, you can see that you deserve lov…

Few family arguments get more—well… heated than the arguments that emerge over the thermostat and its setting. With different groups and subgroups of people fiercely insisting on wildly different settings that agree with their specific preferences—things can get cold-blooded. Speaking of cold-blooded: That's exactly what this guy's lizard-person relatives are. Who in their right mind chooses to exist in 80 ° F heat when you could just as easily not? These in-laws must spend most of their time b…

Nothing can be more difficult for a child than losing a parent. Even if it's a complicated family relationship , that kind of loss is heavily felt, especially when experiencing it as a kid. Recently, a Redditor shared the story of her complicated family life and when she lost her mother. On the subreddit thread r/EntitledPeople , she shares the heartbreaking story of her mothers vulture “friends.” He mother was very sick and when she passed, she reported it and everyone in the neighborhood watc…

This woman is giving major White Lotus energy.

Some people would do pretty much anything for their family. As Dominic Toretto always said, :The most important thing in life will always be family". Well, for one Redditor, the most important thing in his life, is sleep. And apparently nothing in this world could threatened to deprive him of his 8 hours– not even the near d3ath experience of a family member.

Family and holidays often mix together in a variety of ways. It isn't all fun and roses… You need to walk on eggshells, for the most part, as everyone has their own special set of triggers. For example, maybe you don't want to mention that you're majoring in art to Grandpa, who thinks anything besides finance is a waste of time (This generation knows nothing!). And maybe don't mention that you've been taking yoga classes (our back, guys) to your mother, who doesn't shy away from her brutal opin…

If there's one thing you don't want to happen at 21 years old… It's having your mother call your boss asking why you aren't home on time. Even if you're still living at home in your 20s, certain things need to be reassessed compared to how they were in your teen years. This mother took matters into her own hands when her son failed to return home at the usual time after his shift had ended. She managed to procure the son's boss's number from her son's friend and proceeded to call the boss, enqu…

There's nothing wrong with feeling an attachment to something that brings you happiness in life. We all do it. We tend to latch on to certain stories or characters with who we identified or sports teams that remind us that we're a part of something bigger. Especially as we sink into the monotony of adult life, these things can give us greater meaning. A ‘Disney Adult’ is someone who has latched on to a love of all things Disney in the biggest way and it's not unusual to see one of these posts w…

It's common sense that if you (or your dependents) lose or break something that isn't yours, you should pay out of pocket to replace it, especially when that something is a $30,000 piece of jewelry that was stored out of reach in a place where your little goblins shouldn't have been in the first place. I wouldn't blame anyone related to this incident if they refused to let this parent and their children into their homes ever again. The Redditor, u/throwaway1846189, shared this story to Reddit's…

It stands to reason that if you lose or break something that isn't yours, you should have to replace it… There aren't many situations where this wouldn't be the case. And, yet, so many people have some sort of excuse or justification for why it's ok that they don't do so. This Redditor (OP) shared their story to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, telling how their nephew lost their $2000 scooter while their sister's family stayed at their house. The nephew had constantly been asking to ride it…

Weddings have an eloquent way of stirring up family drama and ruining bloodline relationships for the rest of your lives. Ironically, though marriages are supposed to bring people together, they somehow make everyone feral Bridezillas of epic proportions. That's why people elope.
