I (34F) have a (5M) son who attends preschool. A few hours after I picked him up from school today, I got a phone call from his teacher. She made absolutely no effort to sound kind when she, in an extremely rude and annoyed tone, told me to stop packing my son such “disgusting and inappropriate” lunches. I felt absolutely appalled when she said this, as me and the teacher have, up until now, a...

I got engaged to my fiancé Eric (M37) two months ago. He moved in with me and my daughter Zoey (F13).

He gave Zoey a list of places the cat could/couldn't go and banned her from places like the kitchen and sofa. Zoey s...

My collection also rep...
