Father and step-mom ask 20-year-old son to give $50k to teenage step-brother: 'They tried adding pressure for me to change my mind'

Imagine how startled you'd be if someone asked you to just suddenly give them thousands of dollars. It's bad enough when you have that one friend who always needs to borrow $20. This person is dealing with something more extreme: his own family wants him to give 5 figures to his step-sibling! That old saying goes that you shouldn't lend out money to friends or family in the hopes of getting it back. Instead, you should only give out “gifts” when doling out money. That prevents hard feelings fro…

Step-mom refuses to "babysit" 5-year-old for free, demands $100 per night: 'She said it was “irresponsible parenting” on my behalf'

When exactly does babysitting become parenting ? Or is it the reverse? That's the question that this parent is grappling with, since her son's stepmother thinks she's “babysitting” too much! Many parents bristle at the word “babysitting” when it's used for the child's parents. For example, it's rather old-fashioned now, but there was a time when people might spot a father out with his kids and ask if he was “babysitting” for his wife. No… he's parenting his own children! Babysitting implies tha…

Driving is pure fun… until it comes time to fill up the gas tank .

13-year-old stains stepmother's wedding dress with the help of the chocolate fountain: 'They never did get the stain out'

Accidents tend to happen on wedding days. No matter how meticulously a bride and groom may organize the event, not everything will go according to plan. It's inevitable, which is why it's actually quite easy to get away with sabotaging someone's wedding reception and making it look like an accident. Of course, we do not condone this behavior typically, but every so often, a couple is so poorly matched and at least one member of the duo is so mean-spirited that sabotage becomes both unavoidable…

Stepmom accuses 17-year-old son of being a selfish brother after discovering he blocked his stepsiblings on his phone, son refuses to back down: ‘They are not my responsibility’

Stepmom accuses 17-year-old son of being a selfish brother after discovering he blocked his stepsiblings on his phone, son refuses to back down: ‘They are not my responsibility’

While most kids would be happy to discover they are getting a new sibling, these things don't always come under the best circumstances. Sure, it can be an exciting moment when both your parents sit you down and tell you that mom is pregnant and you are going to get a baby brother or sister. But there are other scenarios in which a new brother and sister is not as exciting as it may sound. If your parents are already divorced, and the new sibling is actually coming from someone one of your paren…

'You will never be allowed near my family': 34-year-old parent goes no contact with relentless stepmother who won't stop getting involved

'You will never be allowed near my family': 34-year-old parent goes no contact with relentless stepmother who won't stop getting involved

Making the decision to go “no contact” with a family member as a fully grown adult is obviously not for the faint of heart. It takes guts to stand up for yourself to tell a so-called “authority figure” in your life that the way in which they are behaving is unfair and unacceptable. Most of the time, when family members get to this point of no return, they have already tried everything. Confrontations lead to failed progress. Failed progress leads to the same mistakes happening over and over aga…

We all know those beautiful and moving videos of parents surprising their step-children with adoption papers, as they become their official parents for life. Creating this combined family should be a wonderful and exciting thing that every single member of the family wants. This means that you cannot force it to happen–it must happen naturally, with the approval of both the children and the parents. If you try to force the unification of two families, you should not be surprised if you are met…

What kind of stepmother holds a grudge against someone because of a choice they made when they were 11?

First of all, the entire point of the trip in the wife's eyes was to build a stronger family dynamic between her husband, her daughter, and her stepsons.

'[He] wants my 1963 Fender': Musician refuses to give her $3,000 vintage guitar to her teenaged stepson; stands her ground even when accosted by family

Kids don't understand the value of things. It may sound old school, but the only way to really know what something is worth, is to work really hard to acquire it. And just like we learned when watching Antiques Roadshow at 2AM, when it comes to vintage, classic, or collector's valuables, there's more than just the monetary value to something– that lazy-eyed clown doll may seem worthless, but to the clown collecting bag lady, it's priceless.

This family drama came to a boiling point after this stepmom finally said “no.” It's hard for parents to say no to what their kids want. After all, you want to give your precious children the world! Parents work so hard to put food on the table, keep their kids wearing nice clothes, drive them to sports practices, and more. Children have no idea how much effort their parents put into raising them, so they don't always say thank you. For most of us, though, we grow up and realize all the sacrifi…
