Going on vacation with your young child is not truly a vacation. You’re still “on duty,” so to speak. You’re still responsible for their day-to-day needs, even if you happen to be out of town while doing so. There is a time and a place for this kind of family vacation. Maybe you pick a spot that has a kid’s center, or somewhere with lots of activities for teens, so a little of the burden is lifted. But every trip doesn’t have to be a kid-friendly trip. Sometimes parents just need a full-on break from their parental duties. They want to explore a new place, enjoy their time, and let the babysitter worry about the kids.

That was the intention of a young couple who wanted to gift both sets of their parents some time away from their younger children. But it didn’t exactly go off without a hitch. Read on for the story and see what you think.

Life is not fair. Sometimes good things happen to bad people, and sometimes bad things happen to good people. The universe can feel random and unwieldy with the way it doles out favors. But part of being a human is just going along for that ride, preparing for every case scenario, and not being too attached to any outcome. Sometimes, though, that’s hard to do when you feel like your failures are being thrown in your face. This is why it’s important to have empathy for everyone.

Everyone comes from a different perspective and has different priorities, and you can’t expect everyone’s perspectives and priorities to match up at every single second of the day, especially when it comes to family. However one thing’s for sure, it’s not right to play favorites. But that’s exactly what one woman did when two of her daughters-in-law were at odds. Read on for the story.

Weekends are a beautiful thing, especially for people who have no children. I don’t know what I would do without them. They’re your time to spend however you’d like to: catching up on chores (I clean the house like nobody’s business on Sundays), seeing that friend from college you promised to get a drink with, playing video games on your couch all day. Nobody can tell you what to do. The time is yours. That’s why most of us are understandably protective of our weekends. If they start filling up with obligations, then life fills up with obligations, and then we have no time for ourselves.

That’s the situation one woman found herself in when her weekends started to be consumed by her sister’s kids. As much as it’s nice to help out family, people hire nannies for a reason. If it’s regular work, it sure as heck should be paid. Read on to see what happened in this story.

Aunt refuses to accommodate 3-year-old’s allergies for monthly family dinner, tells sister-in-law to ‘put the kid in a plastic bubble’: ‘You seem to have a bone to pick with a 3-year-old’ #Fun

Family dinners can bring out all kinds of clashes within a family unit. Think of the show Gilmore Girls. The whole inciting incident of that program is that Lorelai’s rich parents will pay for Rory’s expensive private school as long as they all attend Friday night dinners at their house. And that causes enough drama to last seven seasons. When you have a large swath of personalities all coming together for the sake of… something, plus decades of family drama, you’re bound to get some tension.

However, the tension in this situation had a curious origin point when an aunt refused to take seriously the allergies of her nephew, and the kid’s mom exhausted options on how best to care for him. So what resulted was a clash of personalities worthy of a television episode. Read on for the details and see who you think was in the wrong, since commenters were split.

Children are notoriously hard to calm down. They will get upset at something that doesn’t make sense to you, like not being able to have ice cream for dinner, and then nothing will make them feel better. You try reasoning with them, you try bargaining, you try bribes… you do whatever it takes to get this child to stop crying, because sometimes you just need them to put on their clothes and go to school. Some parents develop their own methods for dealing with their children.

Each parent has their own tactic they employ when things get tough. Maybe you have a special treat you offer, a special song you sing, or a magic little phrase you say to wash away all the toddler angst. Whatever works, right? Apparently not, according to one woman’s husband, who had an issue with her magic phrase. Read on for the story and decide what you think.
