family

Anyone who has ever played a game of Monopoly with their family knows firsthand how wildly competitive those games can end up being. Tempers can flare up and soar through the roof. Tears can be spilt. Grudges can be created. Monopoly is just one of those games that manages to bring out the very worst in people. With that being said, this kid's brutal blow to his dad during their game of Monopoly is the stuff of legends. Don't think dad will be talking to them for a while. 

Man oh man, nothing can bring the blood to a boil like having to deal with family members dishing out their toxic opinions on matters they were never asked to get involved with in the first place. This particular scenario involves a brother asking the morality defenders of Reddit's AITA community whether or not he was in the wrong for telling his sister to lower her dating standards based off the fact that she's a single mother. 

Liliana Segura's moving Twitter thread shines light on the struggles experienced by folks that try to set up prison visits to see loved ones. It's a bit of a nightmare, to say the least. 

Every now and again a human being does something that restores our faith in humanity for a bit. Good guy Bobby was just that human being in this scenario involving a wrong number text. 

The verdict on this particular AITA thread seems to be a collective, "dude sucks." It looks like he was more interested in the health of the relationship with his mother than he was with the actual bride. Whole lot of yikes at that wedding. 

Ah, yes, good old sibling rivalries. These rivalries can manifest in brothers and sisters playing extremely devious pranks on one another. For instance, this guy who decided that he'd redecorate his sister's most cherished "One Direction" belongings with a ton of Shrek faces. 

So, apparently these are the kind of tight situations that people can land themselves in when they have twins. Fun stuff. 

Siblings are inclined to help each other out in times of need, but when someone starts trying to take advantage of the situation, it moves into the territory of entitled goofs and their absurd demands. This dude's sister didn't have a very good strategy.

This mom asked the folks of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for cutting off some family after realizing that her in-laws were secretly pushing religion on her kids. I mean, that is not cool, not cool at all! Seems understandable enough. 

Man, this step dad sounds like a real nasty piece of work. What kind of guy tricks his kid out of a perfectly fine laptop? Fortunately, the kid kept his wits about him, and managed to enact a true pro revenge in response. Just picturing the way that that step dad's jaw must've hit the ground when he saw the kid take that "broken" car for a joy ride around the block, is enough to make the heart swell in deep appreciation. It's also a beautiful car! 

This woman decided to ask the folks of Reddit's AITA community whether or not she was in the wrong for rejecting her role as a "cool aunt" because it basically amounted to her just doing a ton of free babysitting for her entitled sister. On top of that there seems to be a solid amount of toxic family drama at play in this situation. The collective opinion would seem to be one that the cool aunt is still cool without doing all the free babysitting for her sis. 

It would be quite stellar to have a mute button handy every time someone toxic starting talking. In this case, this girl asks folks on Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for turning off her hearing aids every time her nasty aunt starts talking. Based off the context she provided, it sounds like this decision to mute the aunt was well deserved. Plus, the aunt never bothered to learn sign language like the rest of the family! 

This fun Twitter thread looks at an Italian family undergoing quite the shock when their DNA test results come in. Turns out they weren't so Italian after all. Well, really, not at all. This isn't the first time that we've seen a DNA test surprise folks. Check out another time a DNA test shocked a family over here.

Twitter user, @AngryManTV, shared a remarkable thread about his experience unearthing his grandfather's unexpected past. Turns out this guy's grandpa was a true unsung hero, who had a boxing career that was cut short due to pressure from the mob. You don't see stories like that everyday. 

Why'd they have to do us like that? This greentext story's got the puns and the wordplay and just the kind of frustrating ending that inspires an instinctive, "god dang it." 

This dad found himself in a predicament when he didn't speak up about some underwear his daughter found. Did this dad just want to see the world burn? The internet weighed in. For some better parent/child relationships, here's a dad who's instinct saved his daughter and some wholesome and chaotic "don't tell your mother" moments.
