Paramedics rushed the toddler to a local hospital in critical condition.

I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. Dating an older man is the most relaxing experience of my life. He talks about exactly three things—his investments, his espresso machine, and his perfectly curated vinyl collection. And honestly? I just sit there, sip my coffee, and let him handle everything else.

My mom married my Texan stepdad two years ago after splitting with my dad (who moved to Florida). My stepdad’s ultra-conservative—he hates that I’m applying to art school (“useless degree!”), shames me for dating (my boyfriend’s 25 and a mechanic!), and constantly trashes my mom’s “California parenting.” Now that Mom’s pregnant, he’s pushing me to leave our Arizona home by August when I graduate. Mom says she’s “too stressed” to stand up to him, even though I planned to live here while working part-time.

Okay, let’s be real—money changes everything. Especially how you treat men. Before, I’d tolerate their bullshit for weeks, nodding along while they forgot to text me back or blew off plans. But now? Mic drop. I’ve reached my limit. If a guy cancels on me twice, I’m done. My inner scoreboard pops up: ​Minus 10 points. Next time? ​Game over.

My wife and I are struggling to agree on tithing. She’s been attending church regularly for years, and while I respect her faith, I don’t participate. Recently, she asked to start giving 10% of our joint income to her church, which is a significant amount for us financially. I told her I’m uncomfortable donating that much to an institution I’m not involved with, and it turned into a heated argument. She says tithing is non-negotiable for her faith, and my refusal feels like a rejection of her values.

I’m (30s F) struggling with a situation involving my husband (30s M) and his best friend’s wife, “Anna” (30s F). Recently, I accidentally saw a text from Anna on his phone where she was venting about her marriage issues. Turns out, she’s been regularly calling and texting him about this for weeks, and he never mentioned it to me. When I asked him about it, he got defensive, insisted he was “just being a good friend,” and we ended up in a huge fight.

Homeless people often are immersed in drugs and they aren’t getting the substance abuse treatment they need, an original investigation published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA, shows.

My parents’ will splits their estate equally between me, my brother, and sister. Growing up in a toxic environment where my mother was emotionally abusive, I’ve worked hard to build stability for my daughter, who’s now in college. My brother already owns two homes—one occupied rent-free by his adult child—yet his kids insist it’s “fair” to buy out my share of our childhood home for $15K, despite its $120K value. I’ve demanded a professional appraisal and equal split to support my daughter’s education, but they’re accusing me of selfishness. My brother even proposed a bidding war, which feels manipulative.

Buying a condo and dealing with renovations was exhausting enough, and now this… I've been so unlucky lately. I bought my place in December and registered with the HOA, only to find out they raised the fees starting February. I contacted the HOA and found out they notified the seller about the hike a few days after I signed the contract. But here's the kicker: none of this was disclosed in any of the documents I received. I’m starting to feel like the seller intentionally hid this from me. Does anyone know if the seller is legally required to give me all the disclosures before I signed? Feels like I just got blindsided, and I have no idea what to do next.😮‍💨

Okay, let’s get real—expiration dates are more of a suggestion than a hard rule, and we’ve all been there: staring at an item in the fridge thinking, “Is it still good?”

Sharing my petty (but effective) HOA revenge story. For years, I lived in a neighborhood where parking in front of your own house was banned. I followed the rule grudgingly… until I got slapped with a $50 fine for a car I didn’t even own. The kicker? The car belonged to a random visitor parked briefly in front of my house.

I've always considered Anna my best friend. We've been through so much together over the years, from celebrating each other's achievements to getting through tough break - ups.

My best friend is pregnant, and she recently told me the name they have picked out for their baby. As soon as she said it("Hellzel"), I was taken aback. To me, the name sounded really strange and not at all something I would associate with a cute, innocent baby.

Denver has at least one interested party for its $10 homeless hotel for sale, a former Stay Inn, after a woman expressed a desire to buy it during Monday's City Council meeting.

I recently found and adopted the most adorable stray dog, and I want to share not just his cuteness but also some important lessons I learned during the process in Northern California!

Folks, check out this epic fail from my landlord: Rent shot up by $275 in January, and their “repairs” are straight-up crayon-level disasters. Instead of fixing the rotting wooden columns, they just hammered tons of nails into the base like they’re building a Pinterest project. Then, to cover up the white paint nightmare on our lawn, they rinsed paint buckets directly on the grass and… ​

Cats have a reputation for being independent and mysterious, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love their humans. Unlike dogs, who express affection with wagging tails and excited greetings, cats show their love in subtle ways. If you’ve ever wondered whether your cat truly cares about you, the answer is yes—you just have to know how to read the signs.

So I’ve got this guy who’s honestly pretty great. We’ve been on 4 dates, and everything seemed to be going well. He was super into me, even talking about taking things to the next level. But here’s the thing — I wasn’t sure how I felt. I didn’t want to rush into anything, so I told him I wasn’t ready to define things.

A $300 tuition fee popped up a month ago, but she delayed paying it, opting to spend on non-essentials. Now, she urgently needs me to cover it to enroll in summer classes. I suggested a subsidized loan (interest-free, quick disbursement), but she insists I pay today.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a young dog named Coco who is searching for her forever family. This adorable 3-month-old puppy may be small in size, weighing in at approximately 4.5 pounds, but she makes up for it with her endless energy and loving personality. Despite her tiny stature, even smaller than the resident cats in her foster home, Coco approaches life with curiosity and enthusiasm. "She has bounds of energy, loves playing with all types of toys, and then ultimately adores snuggling up on her foster mom's lap to get lots of pets," explains Sandy Paws Rescue.

What is going on with long-term relationships these days? I’ve seen so many couples I thought would last, but they’re all calling it quits. Take my high school friends—together since forever, went from prom to work, and now they're just… over it. No cheating, no drama, just no passion left. Then, there’s my coworkers. They were about to tie the knot, wedding invites out and everything. Next thing I know, boom, guy cheats and they’re done. But wait—another friend of mine is heading for divorce because his wife got a job across the country, and he refused to move with her. They've been living apart, and now the whole thing’s falling apart.

Max, my cat, slipped out one night, and I didn’t even realize he was gone until the next morning. I had just gone through a rough breakup, and waking up to find him missing sent me into a spiral of worry and guilt.
