30-year old woman wonders if she's wrong for kicking entitled 26-year-old sister's family out of her home after they lost theirs in Hurricane Helene: 'She's trying to play the guilt game'

Supporting family in times of need is something you do out of love and a sense of familial obligation to that person—but even that has its limits. Although the person being supported might be in a hard place, it's still on them not to make their host too hard done by; you can't just go around making demands and being wildly entitled about everything in someone else's home. As someone who has uniquely been in this situation and forced to stay with family in a similar situation after a flooded ho…

That's not to say that it's the only thing that matters, but for most of us, it's an important starting point. Thus, this lesson holds value…

Growing up and embracing maturity is hard—and especially hard for some. Accepting that your age and responsibility means that you need to leave some behaviors behind can be tough. This is usually associated with things like realizing that you can't walk away from crashing your mountain bike into a tree like you used to. Not only that, there's a chance that you might even seriously injure yourself gardening, which will take weeks or months to recover from. But this applies to social interactions…

‘He practically stole my car’: Kid buys a luxury car from neighbor, only for his dad to demand to take it instead, insisting it is too expensive for him to drive

being a parent is hard, there is no arguing with that. How parents manage to take care of their kids and give them everything they have to offer while also maintaining their own identity and aspirations in life, is beyond me. Once one starts seeing their parents as actual, real people, one starts to learn that there is no rule book and there aren't any guidelines to being a parent, they just wing it as they go, which unsurprisingly means that parents make many, many , many mistakes. One mistake…
