My wife is sad because I got my sister a much more “romantic” Christmas gift than I got her. AITAH?

Last night, my family hosted the gift party. We invited siblings, parents, and grandparents. The party was going great, and everyone was genuinely happy when they opened their gifts. My wife had a Christmas list, and I got my wife all the items from the Christmas list. My sister opened her gift last, and after looking at the gift for a minute, she broke down in tears and hugged me. For cont...

AITA for refusing to cook Thanksgiving lunch after 15 years?

For the past 15 years, I (38F) have been the one cooking Thanksgiving lunch, or at least the turkey and most of the food. It’s been a tradition, but this year, I’m completely burnt out. I’m a teacher with four kids (ages 2-15), and this year has been especially stressful with work, parenting, and school. I just don’t have the energy to take on such a big responsibility again. I suggested th...

AITA for being furious after my boyfriend (M30) said he would "get custody" of my daughter (F6)?

I (F28) have a 6-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. I’ve been with my boyfriend (M30) for about a year now, and while he’s been great with my daughter, things took a weird turn recently. We were having a conversation about future plans, and out of nowhere, he said, “If we ever break up, I’ll get custody of your daughter.” I laughed at first, thinking he was joking, but then I saw t...

AITAH for basically telling my in laws this is my house, if you don't like my rules get out.

First off I don't think I was wrong which has infuriated my girlfriend. I (25) recently moved into my house. My girlfriend (27) and I had a little housewarming. Her family, my mother and a few of our friends. We were eating outdoors and the kids had their own table. My girlfriend's nephew (8) knocked over a jug of dilute. I was at the table when it happened and it was clearly an accident. ...

AITAH for yelling at my fiancé after he destroyed my project because I chose work over a party?

My fiancé's best friend celebrated his birthday last night at an exclusive restaurant. He wanted me so much to go with him, but I needed to complete a critical work project. I told him that I was on a d**dline and if I did not get it done, I might miss an opportunity for promotion. He wasn't pleased and informed me that it was not acceptable because all his friends would have their girlfriends...

AITAH for kicking my friend out of my apartment after how they treated my cat?

I have a cat who is my baby. She’s super friendly but a little skittish, and I always remind guests to be gentle with her. A friend of mine came over the other night, and while we were hanging out, my cat jumped onto the couch near them. Out of nowhere, my friend shoved her off the couch. Not a little nudge—an actual shove that made her hit the floor hard. My cat ran and hid under my bed, and I...

AITA: I left my son on the side of the road and made him walk home.

A few days ago I (54m) picked up my daughter (15f) and son (18m) from school. Whilst in the car they got into a fight about how I guess my daughter was dating my son’s best friend. As they were arguing with each other my son screamed, “Whatever, I’ll just f**k your trailer t**sh, s**t of a best friend.” I immediately intervened as I did not raise my son to talk about woman like that. I told him...

AITAH for threatening to divorce my husband over MrBeast?

I (f24) am seriously at my wits end. My husband (m26) is partially deaf from DJing in his teens/early 20s, so he needs things louder to hear them. But what I dont get is why that has to mean I’m involuntarily listening to MrBeast yelling about burying himself alive or giving away $10k to strangers at 9am on a Sunday. He watches MrBeast videos on his phone at like 95-100% volume. Not even joking...

AITA for refusing to let my neighbor use my Wi-Fi after they "accidentally" disconnected their service?

I (30M) had a neighbor (40M) knock on my door, asking if they could connect to my Wi-Fi because they "forgot" to pay their bill, and their internet got cut off. I politely declined, explaining that I pay for my service and don’t want to risk security issues. They got upset and left, but I thought that was the end of it. Turns out, they’ve been bad-mouthing me to other neighbors, saying I’m sel...

AITA for telling my sister I was infertile just to get her to stop asking me to be her surrogate?

Three years ago, my sister "Anna" (she was 29 at the time, now 32) had been struggling with infertility for years. I was 26 then, and married, but my husband and I wanted to wait before having kids so we could focus on our careers and es**blish ourselves. Anna kept asking me to be her surrogate, and no matter how many times I politely declined, she just wouldn’t take no for an answer. I exp...

AITAH for how I responded when my girlfriend brought up the house purchase in front of her family?

I (M30) have been with my girlfriend Lily (F28) not her real name for just over two years. She’s more reserved and doesn’t express her feelings easily. Right now, I’m the one working and covering most of our expenses. We get along well, but she can be frustrating sometimes. For example, she won’t do ch**es because she’s afraid she’ll do them wrong but still finds time to clean up her own things...

AITA for refusing to pay for my daughter’s wedding after finding out her fiancé used to bully my son?

I (50M) have two kids: my daughter (25F), who is getting married next year, and my son (23M), who came out as gay in high school. My son had a really rough time in school. He was bullied relentlessly, and it took a toll on his mental health. He’s doing much better now, but those years left scars. Last month, my daughter introduced us to her fiancé (27M). I recognized him immediately as one ...
