Parenting is exhausting; at its worst, it's like a marathon that you run uphill for 18 years with no water stations and no end in sight. That's why it's a godsend when you can find someone (whether a bribed family member or paid caretaker) who can take your child off you for a few hours. Of course, for some parents, this whole time is spent worrying whether or not the child is alright and being adequately cared for — others still might be able to enjoy their time but be relieved when they retur…

Some people have zero self-awareness and totally expect themselves to be in the right when everyone else would gladly tell them that they are, in fact, totally wrong. This husband probably was thinking this exact thing when he decided to ask his wife for a divorce after she pulled the plug on his gaming session over his unwillingness to help out with the couple's child. The wife made a post to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit in which she appealed to readers of the online community to see whe…

You've heard of 'Elf on a Shelf': Now get ready for 'Tales of Elf Fails'! It's that time of the year again and parents are stressing. It's a beautiful thing to be a mom or dad and want to make this holiday season a magical time for your little ones, but dang does it take a lot of work. Nobody tells you how annoying it is to remember to move that dang Elf on a shelf every single night. What's your excuse to your kids when they wake up and their elf hasn't moved at all? You're just going to fold…

Being approached by a stranger in a dark parking lot is already intimidating. You were just trying to mind your own business, and now you might be in a very scary and dangerous situation. However, sometimes these situations, when shed on by a different light, turn out to be okay. For instance, Bryan Minerly recently shared a story on his social media about how he somehow changed his fate from him getting robbed, to him helping a father in need.

If you don't pay rent, you don't get a say.

When you make the decision to get married (or make some other long-term commitment of trust and reciprocity to another person), you should probably consider that person's needs, thoughts, and advice. This goes double, if not triple, when you make the decision to (or otherwise) have children. These people come first and foremost in your life, before any fun you might want to have with your friends and, certainly, before a ski trip. Imagine the cruel audacity to straight up ditch your wife and si…

There's nothing like changing someone's mind by proving them wholly and completely to be out of touch. Being able to smack them over the head with an indisputable “I told you so.” works more wonders than any amount of arguing ever could have.

Genetic code just got lazy and did a copy/paste on their faces

There's nothing like a bossy, nosy neighbor Karen who can't help but march across the street to be bossy and nosy in someone else's home.

'If you have a problem with my kid, come to me!' says the woman who left her kid unsupervised.

It seems bizarre to think that you're entitled to a stranger's time — and that's exactly what's happening when you try to take a selfie with a celebrity. Whatever relationship you have with them is completely one-sided, they might be your “favorite,” but they — meanwhile — have no idea that you even exist. So when you rock up to them at their daughter's birthday party, demanding their attention, it's pretty safe to say that's going to go about as well — and be as well received — as it would wit…

We're conflicted about this one...

Never make a TikTok about your Mom when you rely on her for everything

This makes me so uncomfortable

Kids say the darnedest things, don't they? That complete lack of filter can simultaneously be the most hilarious, embarrassing, and cutting thing on this planet. There's nothing worse than being on the receiving end of an incredibly perspective comment from a child. There's something about the truth that a child perceives that leaves you utterly defenseless and without any recourse or response. After all, it's not as if you can respond with an insult back… Then you'd just be the adult that was…
