Husband admonished for telling wife and new mother of 3-month-old baby that she must return to work: 'She needs to work full-time'

It's surprising and disappointing sometimes the disrespect and disregard people have for their spouses when relationships are supposed to be built on respect and support. We're talking about someone who is supposed to be your other half, so it makes sense that responsibilities be split and handled as if that were the case—where capable and able. We're all only human, and our lives and their requirements are changing all the time, so we're not going to get it right all the time, but that's where…

‘She had it coming’: Mother plays favorites between two daughters during their birthdays, leading eldest to even the score by playing favorites between her parents

Every person who grew up with siblings knows that parents always have favorites. They can deny it as much as they want, and try to hide it so the kids would not be able to tell, but unfortunately, kids are always able to tell. However, there is a big difference between parents having a favorite child and parents playing favorites between the children. It is somewhat understandable that parents care for one kid more than the other, but it is absolutely not understandable when they act on it clea…

Mother of Bride 45 minutes late to wedding and misses ceremony, blames bride for not waiting for her: 'They had time to stop at a bakery??'

Weddings may be a celebration of the union of two people, but they're first and foremost an administrative marathon and a crash course in event planning—let's get that straight. The one thing you don't realize when you say “yes” is that you're not just saying “yes” to a ring; you're saying “Yes, I'd love to become a de facto event planner for the next year of my life as a second job." There's a lot going on and a ton to manage, and the entire time leading up to the big day is spent trying to en…

‘He practically stole my car’: Kid buys a luxury car from neighbor, only for his dad to demand to take it instead, insisting it is too expensive for him to drive

‘He practically stole my car’: Kid buys a luxury car from neighbor, only for his dad to demand to take it instead, insisting it is too expensive for him to drive

being a parent is hard, there is no arguing with that. How parents manage to take care of their kids and give them everything they have to offer while also maintaining their own identity and aspirations in life, is beyond me. Once one starts seeing their parents as actual, real people, one starts to learn that there is no rule book and there aren't any guidelines to being a parent, they just wing it as they go, which unsurprisingly means that parents make many, many , many mistakes. One mistake…

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.

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…
