Even though ‘vlogging’ has become a popular career path for many people, it does not mean we should overlook the dangers and red flags this so-called profession poses. Filming your life does not permit you to do whatever you want, and becoming ‘internet famous' has many cons alongside the pros, so this career might not actually be as glamorous as it might appear. Parents who decide to share their kids' entire lives on the internet, should definitely not be allowed or accepted, especially when t…

$500 per day for life? That kid could have been going places...

Infertile? There are many ways to have a son or daughter that never involve pregnancy: you can adopt, you can foster, or you can steal your sister's baby before it's ever born...

Unlike the piles of old newspapers he was accustomed to receiving from Mom, now all he gets are cute photos texted to him of his mom grinning next to a rubber duck.

Fostering or adopting kids in need of a home is one of the most honorable things a family can do. If every family could open up their home for one kid, the world would definitely be a better place. But even if a family does adopt a child, it only means the hard work has just begun. Even if it seems like the hard part, the adoption part is just the beginning, as now the family has to work together to make sure their new addition feels comfortable and happy in their new home, while also making su…

Every kid awaits the day they finally move out of their parents' home and become completely independent adults. For some kids, that happens when they are 18, while for others it happens when they are 28, but eventually (most of the time), everyone must leave the nest, despite the challenges to do so. The challenge we speak of is for the kids and the parents alike, as both have to find the strength to let go of the other. The parents in this Reddit story have been finding it really hard to let g…

Splitting the bill evenly at a restaurant is the worst.

Having debt is a major burden. Whether you took out student loans for college , bought a car, or bought a house, you name it, no one likes having debt over their heads. But how would you feel if one day you found out you were $60,000 in debt and had absolutely no clue? And it's not due to negligence on your part, but rather, someone was taking advantage of you? That's exactly what happened to the woman in this story. She was doing just fine on her own, about to graduate college and enter the 'r…

As kids, many of us indulged in harmless pranks around the neighborhood—ding-dong-ditching, TP-ing, you name it. It was just part of growing up. Now as adults with our own homes, we've come to realize just how irritating these 'innocent' pranks can be. It's like karma has come full circle. However, one recent incident takes the cake in terms of annoyance factor. A particularly entitled kid has been repeatedly kicking his neighbor's house. Yes, kicking it.

Making a difference in the world isn't always easy, but it's possible. U/EpicWinterWolf has a family member who knows that all too well, after she gave an unforgettable exit interview at one of her previous jobs. Exit interviews can be tricky. You probably want to tell your boss 101 things they did wrong or could improve on. You may want to disclose everything you think is wrong with the workplace, from the biggest issues to tiny personal gripes. At the same time, you may need a reference from…

Don't mess with your neighbor's hobbies. For most of us, our after-work hobbies are the things that keep us going week-over-week, so when this entitled mother decided to make her familial problems into the entire neighborhood's problem, one man had to push back.

If you mess with a mom and her kid , you're in for a bad time. U/nalarosette learned that firsthand at her coffee shop job. At the age of 16, this person was working with another teenager and their older manager, and you can tell the manager liked to take advantage of the teenagers' naivete. This seems to be endemic at a lot of fast-food and retail chains. They hire the youngest kids who have never had a job before, meaning they don't know when to stand up for themselves or when to just do as t…

The best petty revenge is self-inflicted.

Here's how not to be a choosing beggar, as illustrated by one mom who couldn't accept a good thing while she had it. As a child, getting to bounce on a trampoline is basically the best thing ever. It never gets old! If you go to a trampoline park, you and your friends can literally bounce off the walls (and all over the rest of the room). Having a trampoline at your house is the ideal scenario for kids, though. It means that you can run outside at any time and start jumping. You make up games a…

Being a helicopter parent to a toddler is one thing, but if your kid grows up and you're still acting that way, it's going to get awkward real fast. When you're raising a toddler, it makes sense to keep a close eye on them. They're whirling dervishes of destruction who can color your couch with markers one minute and climb inside the dishwasher the next. But over time, you've got to let your kids gain independence by seeing the world on their own. Too bad no one ever told this college kid's mot…
