Daughter refuses to let her mother move in with her because she’s tired of living with her other daughter in the family home: ‘She's tired of all of us’

We all have that one family member who takes everyone else’s generosity too far. That cousin who thinks everyone owes them favours or is entitled to everyone else’s property or food, for example. This type o

Man realizes his cousin is secretly living in the storage unit he was renting and quickly cancels it: ‘My aunt called me later saying I should have given him options instead of humiliating him and putting him on the street’

She is considering charging her 72-year-old mother rent to live with them—a 45-year-old woman has had enough of her entitled mother, who, after 11 years of living with them, has mounting debt again, despite having no living costs, and doesn't help out

54-year-old woman is prompted by her 22-year-old niece to co-sign her student loan: ‘I've never had any type of indepth conversation with her. The longest sentence I've ever gotten from her was a text message asking me to cosign her student loans’

Not for nothing, mothers-in-law have been depicted as evil witches throughout history, in every art form possible. Hold on, I’m not saying they are actually evil; I’m saying the relationship between a mother and her son’s significant other is always potentially rocky, because mothers tend to want the best and only the best for them, and get v

This sort of pettiness is something only siblings can understand, and I think one has to dabble in this type of silly revenge from time to time when it comes to brothers and sisters.

Brother charges his younger sister $20 to feed her cat in revenge for her charging him $12 for using her shower: ‘Our mom also thinks I should just let it go because my sister is trying to budget and save money right now’

Gardener takes over abandoned community garden plot after its owner disappears, until she returns two years later and demands all the produce: 'Diane has some nerve'

I totally understand that hunger can be nerve-wracking, especially when you’re seeing everybody else eat except you, but manners exist for a reason, and that reason is belonging. When a restaurant delays your order long enough, you start to feel that if you leave, you’d wasted all the time you already spent waiting, but at the sa

Man gets tired of waiting, cancels his order at restaurant, goes looking for other food while fiancé and family are still eating, and now they are angry at him: ‘Can you please wait for 20mins. I said wow’

40-year-old man refuses to babysit his sister’s gentle-parented kids, and she calls him “selfish” and a “terrible person”: ‘I don’t want them causing chaos to my family’s peaceful life’

Do we get married to please family and friends? I don’t think the concept of marriage is independent of gatherings and celebrations; the origins of marriage as a ceremony are directly linked to community, family, and groups. It was originally a celebration precisely orchestrated within society and a ritual that symbolized a passage from one role inside it

A couple gets secretly engaged, then secretly married, and ends up disappointing their loved ones when they eventually find out: ‘From our perspective, we didn't do it to exclude anyone or because we don't love our families and friends’

Money is a sensitive topic Maybe this will only be understood by people who have gone through a hard time economically. The woman who posted this story mentioned growing up with financial stress, and I can relate. Some people react to that financial instability growing up by becoming super cautious and responsible with money, and others do exactly the opposite; they become extreme spenders and compensate by spending all they couldn't spend while they were growing up. Paradoxically, the second a

20-year-old woman exposes her 21-year-old sister by saying she always pays for everything: ‘She got upset and said she never knew I thought like that, and maybe I should start taking money from her’

I don’t know how I feel about this story because I think an innocent person is paying for somebody else’s mistakes. The resolution here is clear: What should be drying the countertop should be one of the boyfriend’s belongings, but I don’t think the brother is seeing things clearly.

Being a scapegoat is not easy, especially if you are one in your family. This Redditor wonders how to soften what she confessed to her family (that she is almost never included), and I think it might be time to stop explaining and explore other groups of people. Dynamics, to continue functioning, have to be fed through both sides; if one stops, the dynamic can't perpetuate itself.

32-year-old woman is the only one not invited to stay in an Airbnb with family on vacation: ‘They go to dinners without me all the time, do things that I specifically say I’d like to do, and claim they forgot to invite me’
