AITA for calling my student "student" because he refuses to stop calling me "Professor"?

I’m a college professor. My name isn’t hard to pronounce, neither is my last name. I tell students they can call me “Jane” (obviously not my first name) or “Mrs. Smith” (again, fake last name for the sake of this). I just do not want to be called “Professor” or “Miss”. This semester, I have a student who will say “Professor” every time he wants to get my attention. I told him the first few ...

AITA for leaving when my mom told me to move my car so her neighbor’s daughter can park in her driveway?

Some backstory: my mom has always wanted a daughter. Instead she ended up with 2 sons and 6 grandsons. 16 years ago, a young woman with a 2 year old daughter (let’s call the daughter Lily) moved across the street from her. She was a single mom and didn’t have any family in the area so my mom offered to help take care of the little girl while her mom worked/stud*ed. Over the years, she’s beco...

AITA for getting into a dispute with the daycare staff over my child's nap schedule?

I'm a working parent who values the importance of a consistent sleep schedule for my child. I've always been specific with the daycare staff about my child's nap schedule and needs and it's important for her health and happiness to have a consistent routine. My child (let's call her Emma) has been attending the same daycare for a few months now. I noticed that her nap schedule was being disrupt...

AITA for feeding my vegan nephew meat?

My sister has been vegan for many years and she is also raising her son vegan. He has been vegan since birth. My nephew and son attend the same school so I pick them up from school everyday. My nephew has snacks + dinner at my house every weekday before his mom comes to pick him up. I usually make a dish for my family and a separate vegan dish for my nephew. A couple of months ago I left th...

AITA for asking my sister WTF she expected to happen at her s**tshow of a bachelorette party?

For some reason my (F32) sister (23) and her fiance (25) decided that the very best way to celebrate before getting married was to have a joint bachelor/bachelorette party. At strip clubs. They also hired a bus limo for the evening. The aftermath was, thus far, three breakups, four people dropping out of the wedding party, one impending divorce, and one arrest. The cleaning bill for the limo w...

AITA for cancelling the payments for my daughter's wedding after she told me my wife isn't invited?

My daughter (27F) is getting married in the fall. I (58M, het dad) am supposed to pay for the wedding, that's what we agreed on. We got the save the date invitations a few days after I put the payments through my bank (they need to be approved, so no money has been paid yet). My wife isn't invited to the wedding. I have been divorced for 15 years and married to my wife now for 8 years. My daugh...

AITA for not punishing my son after he came up with a pretty elaborate plan to "p*ep" on the neighbor girl to***ss in her back yard?

My wife and I have been separated for 2 years, with a contentious divorce finalized in May. I have primary custody of our two children (daughter 17 and son 14) and live in our shared home. On Monday, I found my son and two friends on the roof of our sun deck playing army. I told him to put the ladder away afterward. This continued until Thursday when my daughter revealed the true reason: our 22-y...

AITA for refusing to take down a video of my kids father dancing at my brother's wedding?

My children's dad & I got separated and divorced 2 years ago. We're on good terms regarding co-parenting. And since he's close to my brother, my brother had invited him to his wedding. Perfectly okay with me since the kids were thrilled to get extra time with dad. I was taking a video of mom and my kids at the wedding and posted it on my insta. Hours later, I get a call from my ex yelling a...

AITA for using the money I won in a lottery to finance my own dream vacation across Europe/Asia besides on my kid’s student loan debt?

On my birthday this year, I treated myself to 50 bucks in lottery tickets, and managed to hit one of the huge $50,000 payouts. After taxes, I had ~$34,000, so I’ve put $7,500 into my wife’s car, and put the rest into a high-interest bank account. I’m planning to switch jobs early 2020, but first, I plan to travel for the month of January and half of February across Asia and Europe. I’ve never ...

I have a 22 year old daughter (Chloe), her mom and were never married. Because of circumstances that I couldn't be in her life for long...then, her mom got married when she was 5 to her stepdad who is a somewhat decent guy, nosy but decent. I came back to the country when Chloe was 16, and she was open to the idea of rebuilding our relationship. though, her mom always throws in my face that Chl...

AITA for giving my brother and his wife 2 days to return my piano?

I f32 developed an interest for piano after meeting my late husband who was a piano teacher for 7 years.

However, my brother and his wife (who came to stay with me for 2 months after loosing their apart...

AITA for protecting my children who were technically born from an affair?

I'm trying to keep this vague for obvious reasons. I'm in my mid-30s. I got pr****nt from a one night stand. Honestly, I always wanted kids, and for various reasons, it's not likely that I'll ever have a long term partner. I've tried and had many heartbreaks. He's in the military, and pretty much ghosted me once I told him the news. It's fine, it was a one night stand anyway, hardly a love aff...
