Traumatize them back

Let this story serve as yet another relevant reminder that paternity leave deserves to be taken seriously by employers. You would think that in this day and age, this would be common knowledge, but you would be surprised. Here, we have an employee who initially only asked for one week of paid time off to help take care of his newborn baby. Apparently, the timing was not convenient for his boss, not that this should really matter. However, according to the boss's warped perspective, it was reaso…

Sometimes you just have to cut people out of your life for good.

Parenting is a two-person job. While there are excellent single parents out there, caring for a newborn often requires the waking attention of two fully attentive adults, which is why having children can make or break a relationship. When new parents reach a boiling point, things can go south very quickly.

Ah, to be a teenager and resist house rules… we've all been there. One college student named Mia moved in with her sister after attending a university that was closer to where she lived. Mia was allowed to live with her sister under one condition… don't mess with the baby's bedtime. She could come home as late as she wanted, as long as she didn't make any noise. Alas, Mia was young, inconsiderate, and entitled, leading to a big family dispute. She would go out partying, and come home, make a to…

Health insurance can be expensive. While many of us have spent at least a short stint of our lives wondering how we're going to pay for healthcare, it's usually not in our first few months on earth. However, if you're the lucky baby in our next story, you have nothing to worry about because Big Mama discovered a nifty health insurance loophole.

One boss was forced to sheepishly backtrack after initially refusing to give a worker one week off once their wife gave birth to their newborn baby. Management really outdid themselves with this one… It seems ridiculously unfair to think that some bosses will not willingly give their workers requested time off, especially when it is well within the workers' rights to receive it. In this case, u/P4ddyC4ke, the OP, told the story of when his boss told him that because they were short-staffed, OP…

In a thread that went viral, users were asked, "What would you name a newborn child if you really, really wanted to ruin their life, but wanted to maintain plausible deniability about having done it on purpose?" Oddly specific, but we're here for it. The responses were as entertaining as they were bizarre. People shared names that ranged from whimsical and fantastical to downright hilarious. On this side of the internet, traditional naming conventions are thrown out the window...

Parking spots aren't always assigned, which can be particularly annoying if people begin parking right in front of your house, blocking your path, due to the fact that it's technically legal. Still, it certainly isn't proper etiquette, and it is usually frowned upon. In this case, OP lived on a street where some houses had driveways, yet some didn't, meaning that the house owners had to park on the street. OP had just enough room to park both their cars in front of their house, but when a new n…

“My boss was the kind of boss that every employee hates,” this employee wrote as they shared the tale of what happened when they tried to take family leave at a small company.

Dealing with noisy neighbors is the worst. There's always a risk of starting a superiority contest on who is more passive aggressive, who's louder, and who's more willing to lose sleep over a petty neighborhood battle. One man learned his lesson the hard way– After years of harassing his neighbor next door with booming music and surround sound movies at all hours of the night, she got payback.

Does this guy even hear himself?

This mother of a five-week-old finally had it with her husband John, who kept scolding her for not having dinner cooked when he got home from work. No, this is not a story from the 1950s, this is still a thing in 2022.
