Y’all, I feel like I need to put some kind of warning on this post, because if you’re someone whose blood pressure rises from the mere mention of abusive relationships and/or people treating new mothers poorly, then you (like me) need to take care. This woman gave birth to her first child five weeks ago,...

Listen, I get that there’s a learning curve when it comes to everything in life and that relationships are nothing different, but that said…I feel like some things shouldn’t need to be said. This guy asked his girlfriend if she wanted to participate in a TikTok trend where they tell each other something they would...

As a kid, I read The Babysitter’s Club and thought that being paid to hang out with other people’s kids was where it was at…until I actually did it a few times and realized how much work kids actually are. Even now, as an adult who has kids, I would only offer to babysit for people I really...

I think that, in almost all cases, most people at least try to be good neighbors when they can. Sure, some people are jerks just because they can be, but most of us realize that angering people we have to live near for years on end just isn’t good business (among other things). This person...

Most people go out of their way to accommodate people who are clearly in need of special assistance in public – and since the majority of people who aren’t terrible psychopaths love dogs, I would guess that goes double for people accompanied by service dogs out in the wild. Things can get complicated, though, if...

Even if you’re not someone who plays Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) regularly, you probably know enough about the game and the tight knit circles of people who play it to form an opinion on game night invites, right? I’m going to say that since most of us watched at least a few episodes of The Big...

Anyone who had a baby or a small child during the most intense quarantine periods of the pandemic can tell you that time was especially rough for them. Their children had no playmates outside of immediate family and, at least for mine, their social skills are a bit off as a result. As parents, we...

Listen, I am a person who passes along information. It doesn’t matter how irrelevant that information might be to my life (or yours) on this day, because you honestly never know when you’re going to be faced with a totally novel scenario and wish that you knew exactly how to handle it. For example, one...

There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about how Daylight Savings Time is the worst, how no one really understands why we still do it, and couldn’t we just decide to stop it already?! Recently, Congress decided we’re going to stay on Daylight time permanently in the coming years and even that has caused...

We all know that Hollywood isn’t even close to reality, but sometimes I kind of like to believe that we could make some of that magic happen in real like. You know, like in the case of an emergency. I know that air travel is safe and the kind of emergency where the plane would...

Everything old is new again, right? It definitely seems like if you wait long enough, everything from fashion to toys to music and other art comes back in style one day – even if those of us who were around the first time wish it wouldn’t (looking at you, 80s “fashion”). If you’re someone who...

If it seems as if it’s easy to become a viral sensation on TikTok these days, well, you probably don’t realize how many people are posting every day on the social media platform. I imagine it’s a pretty cool experience for anyone, but for musicians, having a song suddenly go viral can mean the difference...

We’re talking more and more in society these days about how it’s okay for women not to want children – you know, to not have them on purpose. That said, there’s still a stigma there, and many childfree ladies deal with pushback from older relatives, friends, and even strangers on the street. Did you know...

Language is an amazing thing that brings us together, that helps us communicate accurately, and that evolves along with our society. To the latter point, phrases go in and out of style like clothes and hairdos – but sometimes, we wish they would go out of fashion a little bit faster. These 20 people have...

I think that everyone who is anyone has some phrases they really love – and some that make them cringe immediately whenever they hear it. We don’t even understand why most of the time. It just rubs us the wrong way and all of our friends and family know not to say it (unless they...
