Few neighborly conflicts are as rote yet disruptive as those that arise over the destruction of trees , and a recent post on Reddit’s r/treelaw exemplified how arbicide can sour a relationship with the people next door quickly. Redditors seeking advice on the r/treelaw subreddit occasionally identify an issue before any trees are irreversibly harmed , but the original poster was not that lucky . The user explained their family owned property adjacent to leased land used to farm, and that the trouble began when “loud equipment showed [up] unannounced and did clearing along the edges of this field.” A…

It added that “bold” action is needed, but warned any changes would require significant investment.

You don’t need wealth or major accomplishments to feel truly happy. Often, it’s the little things—a warm compliment or a favorite snack—that can light up your day just as much as a big win. The stories below show that happiness often comes from the simplest moments. I, 22F, finally bought my first car after years of relying on Uber, Lyft, family members, and friends. I know many people get their first car in their teen years, but I had absolutely no help from my family. I had to start paying rent and bills since I first started working at 17, so saving was hard. Then last year, I actually purchased what was supposed to be my first car in a big and pretty popular car lot here…

A trip that was supposed to be filled with happiness and celebration quickly took a turn for one Dallas family after they were arrested by immigration authorities. At their home in Southeast Dallas, the walls showcase some of the proudest moments for the Granados Rojas family. “My parents raised us here, this is their home too, they’ve been here for 20 plus years,” Jennifer Granados Rojas, their daughter, said. But after decades of living in the home, this family of five was recently torn apart. “It was just sad seeing them go,” said their other daughter, Brisa Granados Rojas. “I…

Your child seemingly went from crying over their first birthday smash cake to blowing out 18 candles, flying the coup and perhaps starting a family of their own in the blink of an eye. While it can feel like just yesterday that you were holding their cute, tiny hands as they crossed the street, one mental health expert stresses it’s crucial to understand how to navigate a relationship with an adult child without being overbearing. “Understanding how relationships change as your child becomes an adult is key to maintaining a healthy, supportive connection,” says Joseph Kivett , a psychiatric mental…

According to child psychologists, there are clear signs that indicate you might be inadvertently placing too much strain on your child. Understanding these indicators is crucial for fostering a supportive environment that promotes genuine growth and well-being, rather than anxiety and burnout. Psychologists emphasize that being “hard” on a child isn’t necessarily about yelling or explicit criticism. Often, it manifests in more subtle ways – a constant push for perfection, an overemphasis on achievements, or a lack of emotional validation. These behaviors, while often stemming from good intentions, can chip away at a child’s self-esteem, stifle their intrinsic motivation, and…

It’s always hard to get young kids to go to bed, they are so full of life they don’t want to waste any of it sleeping!
