You're on your own, kid

Parenting is an Olympic-level sport

The price of living at home

Family get-togethers always bring an unnecessary amount of shade and entitlement. As you get older, you only notice it more and more and ti just becomes less and less bearable. That's what food and drink are for. However, this Redditor wasn't even allowed to partake in that because his petty Aunt Karen refused to let him sit at the “adult's table” despite him being a fully-grown man at this point. Instead, he had to six at a table of six years olds once again.

However, when these folks did not get what they wanted, they really…

Navigating the dating scene in your adult years is… complicated, to say the least.

Navigating the adult world becomes a dance between deadlines and delusions… am I right or am I right, ladies?

Adulting and dating combined... should be interesting
