family

A child's job is basically to just make a mistake, then learn a lesson, then make a different mistake, and learn a different lesson. They are adorable little sponges that absorb everything around them and eventually gain enough confidence to make their own decisions. So sweet isn't it? Well, spoiler alert, the mistakes never really stop, it's kind of a central part of being a human. But if we're lucky they might be a little less silly than the ones we made we were itty bitty.

The problem with finding a mouse in your humble abode is that it basically implies that there are other mice running amok. It's an unfortunate realization to have, no doubt, but one that's best resolved as soon as possible. The best course of action can be to seal that home up so that there are no entry areas for the mice to return. The thing is, it sounds like this guy had a completely different approach that was destined for dramatic failure. Hopefully the family was able to get the issue resolved. 

Every culture is rich with unique traditions. It is amazing to be able to hear how somebody else was brought up completely different from you. All cultures should be celebrated and loved. But let's be honest, whatever culture you grew up with: Western, Eastern-European, Asian, Middle-Eastern, etc, there are some questionable traditions that you never found weird until you grew up and realized not everyone could relate. Some just seem downright silly, but hey, a part of loving your culture is laughing at your culture!

A big part of dating someone is getting to know their family. Because if you end up marrying them, they will inevitably become your family too. No one wants to take on a crazy family, especially if you already have one of your own, but what happens when your partner's family only shows their wild side once it's too late? It's hard to walk away from someone you love because of their family, but everyone has their limit. These Redditers shared their stories of breaking up with someone they loved because their family was nuts and some of them are wild!

What a rollercoaster of emotions. This is really the best case scenario for anyone who has ever lost a pet. You think that everything is doomed, and then that cat ends up crashing the whole show, with no idea why everyone is so stressed out. 

Winter is coming and we all know what that means...seasonal depression! We're gonna need all the warmth we can get, and one easy way to absorb those much needed good vibes is through wholesome images and stories about people being compassionate to others. We've got just the batch of feel-good content to warm you up inside as the days grow darker. If you're in the mood for even more wholesome goodness, we're one step ahead of you.

Love, love, and nothing but love! That's what you're getting with this list today. Wholesome animal relationship - families and friends that will put a smile on your face and bring warmth to your heart. 

It's the kind of pure love that you can only see in the animal world - love that you know is so genuine and so strong. We can only hope that we, one day, will have a family as loving as those in these pictures for ourselves. And we hope that you're as surrounded by love and as happy as the animals in these pictures. 

Now that Earnie is finally happy, having made friends with his humans, their baby, a kitten and even a dog, he has decided that... it's time for a break. He is content to get older, surrounded by love, and simply enjoy the good life... at least for a while. Who knows? Perhaps he'll make a comeback one day, or Mittens will start writing a diary of her own. 

Meowmoirs: getting nostalgic. 

Read Earnie's final diary entry where he looks back on his past, talks about his new friends (and possible successors to his throne) and fills every line he writes with love, love, some shenanigans, and more love.

The world, especially this year, is an absolute garbage fire of failure and pain. Between the election and the pandemic, we're barely surviving this hell. To make it all a bit more palatable, or at least to distract you, we've put together this healthy gallery of pleasant memes and tweets. We may not be able to pull a coronavirus vaccine out of our sleeves, but at least we can smile a bit while we wait.

Nothing like a Tumblr post that's maxed out on the wholesome vibes to warm your heart during these tumultuous times. What starts out as a post about the differences between younger and older generations ends up being a nice little emotional rollercoaster about a very loving grandpa. It's just one of those posts that can make the reader feel good by the end of it. 

We love little tidbits about family life because everyone's experiences are so different but also pretty relatable. We've got a bunch of fun tweets about the woes of parenting, weird texts from parents, and memes about silly dad quirks, like when they stand in the middle of the living room watching a movie and refuse to sit down because they haven't fully committed yet. What's up with that? If you enjoy these hilarious slices of family life, you should really check out @neatdad and @radmom on Instagram for more fam content. 

There aren't many things out there that put smiles on our faces as when we see a similarity between us and our parents. It's wholesome moments like realizing that your ears totally look like your dad's that remind us - oh yeah, we really are family. And with cat moms and dads... it's only cuter. 

A tweet went viral with two pictures of cat parents and their almost identical-looking baby kittens, and the internet's hearts have melted. Of course, a whole lot of other people also rushed to share pictures of their kittens and their cat families, and this is exactly the kind of wholesome content that we feel like we need today - purely positivity and another else. 

If you're going to insist on being rude to the very person that's going through the trouble of graciously whipping up a meal for you, then you're probably not going to get any food. Or, if you do get the food you'd best brace yourself for the food to be a little iffy at best. This dude clearly needed to learn his lesson in the value of respecting the person who is making you food. 

You might've already stumbled upon this olden golden gem from the depths of the wild world of Tumblr before. The epic saga centers on a mom who was absolutely committed toward getting her son set up with a woman through the offering of goats. You might as well call this guy the goat guy. Check out some more funny, random, and sweet Tumblr gems over here. 

Everyone has their breaking point when it comes to what they'll put up with in the way of terribly entitled, toxic behavior. This granddaughter certainly hit the end of her rope. The aptly named Grandmonster in this tale of pro revenge had the unreal audacity to trade her granddaughter's new clothes in exchange for some steel utensils. I mean, you've got to be kidding me. That's just heartless, grandma.
