parenting

Nothing like a witty mom who calls out their kid's nonsense with perfect timing to lighten the mood. There's that or there's the mom who has no problem oversharing that the hardest part about being her age is holding a fart in during yoga. 

This woman asked people on Reddit whether she was wrong for saying a baby's name would result in the poor kid being bullied in life. Folks in the comments section seem to be expressing the opinion that she wasn't in the wrong for sharing her well intentioned thoughts on the matter. You be the judge. 

This woman put up with a whole lot of chaos from some kids that were staying in a neighboring hotel room. Ultimately, she decided to remove herself from the situation. When the mom of the kids realized this was happening, she proceeded to make all of her kids apologize to her. Sounds like she was having none of the mom's attitude, and proceeded to ask for her to apologize. Mom did not take too kindly to this request. 

Dang, that is some straight up exorcism preparation. 

Evil stepmom (Grace) should've left the PS4 out of it, but no, she went ahead and gave that valuable property away while the guy was away at college. Well, that was Grace's biggest mistake. On top of that to tell anyone that they're "too old to play video games" is just absurd. So, the guy took a pro revenge so brutal that Grace ended up getting kicked out of the house. And you know what? It sounds like that was well in accordance. 

Most people have a general idea of how to be basically decent and respectful of other people, however there's a tragically high subset of entitled folks who display trashy behavior that make it harder for everyone else to go about their daily lives. Whether it's because someone is fundamentally unaware of other people's needs, they go full Karen, or they think they're above it all, it's no fun dealing with someone who wasn't raised right.

Poor dad is just trying to go around and spread the love and kindness, but every time he does so it inspires panic from the worried women in his house. Let's all just appreciate the dads out there that are trying their best, and unintentionally inspiring anxiety in their confused family members. Their hearts are in the right place. 

It's all about the context here in this particular AITA. Dad had saved money for his son's college fund, which ultimately didn't end up getting used, because his son decided to drop out. Fast forward, and the son is asking his dad if he could tap into the college fund for what sounds like newlywed expenses/alleviating debt. Dad was not about it, because the whole point of the money was for it to be used for college. 

A solid post proving that video games aren't all bad. In fact, one might argue that video games combined with the quality of parenting, determine how the kid ends up acting. 

Now this is just our kind of funny misunderstanding. Mom overhears her daughter on the phone, pieces together what she heard, leaps to a big assumption, and bam, assumes daughter is pregnant. Naturally, the resulting picture was absurd and totally avoidable. Good stuff. 

Hugh Weber shared a Twitter thread about his 11-year-old's wild ride with the USPS, and it seems to convey a deeper message. Maybe it's a message that the beauty of humanity itself escapes through human beings' vulnerability. Brace yourself, cause this thread has been known to get the feels train rolling. 

This dad took to Reddit to ask folks whether or not he was in the wrong for wanting to continue his enjoyment of bacon, even though it created distress for his vegan daughter's lifestyle. Folks seem to agree that dad isn't doing anything wrong at all. 

Gotta love it. This mom expects the babysitter to take care of three kids that aren't potty trained, for a whopping $8 an hour. The babysitter stands their ground, and ends up dealing out a bit of a reality check to the mom.
