When you're with a big group at a restaurant it seems like the moment everyone decides to ‘split the bill evenly’, the group is divided into two camps. Half of the group insists on being frugal and ordering responsibly, while the other half of the group acts like wild banshee children racing through a candy store with $100 bill.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper; the closer you get to the end, the faster it runs out. But does that sense of urgency in your old age entitle you to be a bossy know-it-all? Not exactly.

For childfree couples, the holiday season is usually the time of year you get chased around by all of your aunties and older cousins, pestering you about your life choices, your aging physique, and your inability to (so far) provide your bloodline with an heir. What is it, the 1700's? Is that all we're good for?

Everyone knows not to mess with a mom in fear of the mama bear coming out. But what about the kids who were raised by a mama bear? Those kids grow up feeling secure by their mom, so now they will do anything to return the favor. That's the example these kids show for their mom. The two brothers and sister in this family are all grown up now, in their late 20s-early 30s. One of the brothers shared a story about how they showed up for their mom and got the revenge she deserved . Their mom was dat…

This sister came with receipts when trying to expose the truth that her gentle-parenting sibling was concealing behind a social media pity party spun into a web of lies. Sure, we're all for being nice to people, and there's no argument that this should extend to your kids so you can avoid passing your generational trauma onto them as much as possible. However, if you want your kids to grow up into fine young adults, it's probably important that you don't also teach them to be woefully entitled…

The beauty about finally getting your own place is that you're a master of your own destiny, free to choose and do whatever you'd like… until your mother comes to visit. What is it with mothers rearranging their adult children's homes? It turns out (based on the sheer number of responses to this thread) this is a common occurrence. Many readers responded to the original story with stories of their own about their mothers doing the same (or similar) thing. Maybe this shouldn't be too surprising—…

When generations of a family are brought to their knees over a kid's biology assignment, it's pretty safe to say that the foundations of the family house of cards were a little bit shaky to begin with. This situation plays out pretty much exactly the same as Ned Stark pouring over the Baratheon lineage and realizing the thing that was right in front of everyone's noses... So, that's why Uncle Carl looks different to Aunt Suzy, who looks way different from Cousin John. It turns out they're the p…

This niece fell victim to one of the classic blunders… The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well-known is this: Never wear white to a wedding! (…or go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.) It's always surprising to see stories about people wearing white to a wedding; you would think that people would know (and obey) such a universal rule. Your job at a wedding is to blend into the crowd. There's nothing else that you need to do other t…

Decorum in a situation you've seldom encountered can be difficult to discern. You suddenly find yourself overthinking every movement, act, and word that comes out of your mouth to try and seem like you know what's going on and belong in that situation. So, then, what should you do when you have a contractor in your home? I'm sure we've all shared in the awkwardness of this experience at some point. Are you meant to try and help them or offer assistance? It would be polite to offer them a glass…

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…

Sometimes, you need to know when to quit and when to walk away. Sometimes, you should also learn to take advice the first time it's given to you… especially when you directly asked for it. This couple would do well to learn this and listen to the advice they received from Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole community this week. The pair made separate posts to the sub to see whether or not the wife was in the wrong for her comments to her husband's sister. Her sister-in-law offered her some advice about th…

People can get weirdly cult-like over the way they like their food, and it's one of the smallest hills people are consistently willing to die on; there are so many people that have overly strong opinions about and will gatekeep what topping or sauce you should or shouldn't eat on any given food. So what if you like ketchup on eggs? Or hot sauce on Italian food? If you wanna pile mayonnaise and dijon mustard on your linguine, then you go right ahead. I certainly won't be joining you or partaking…
