AITA for refusing to host Thanksgiving after my sister handed out a "Family Code of Conduct" contract?

This happened recently, and I’m still baffled. For context, I (32F) have hosted Thanksgiving for my family every year since I moved into my house five years ago. It’s always a little messy and chaotic, but that’s part of the charm, right? This year, my sister (29F) decided she wanted to "help bring some order" to the gathering. At first, I thought she just meant coordinating who would bring wh...

AITAH for refusing to help my sister with her children, and telling her she chose her s**tty life so now she has to deal with it

When my sister (26f) and I (24f) were kids we hated each other. My sister was very hard to get along with, and she never had any friends as a result of this. She’s the type of person who always thinks she’s right, and can never apologize or admit when she’s wrong. As an adult, she still has no friends. She decided to drink the tradwife coolaide. She met her husband in college, got pr****nt, ...

AITA for not forgiving my parents and sister after they cut me off (i had an affair with her HUSBAND)

I had an affair with my sister's husband, yes I regret it and I truly am disgusted with my past self. When they found out my sister publicly shamed me (fair enough) and told my parents (also fair). She also told our parents, which was fair, but she chose to stay with her husband and blamed me for "seducing" him into being unfaithful. She forgave him and decided to reconcile, while I was left t...

AITAH for not letting my wife keep her old habits after we had a baby

My (39m) wife (34f) is a very active person with time consuming hobbies and likes to spend time on those hobbies with her friends. This means sometimes she is gone for most of a weekend or a whole day every now and then. She also likes to help her friends (one in particular) with all of their problems any time of day, or sometimes night. She also works pretty late so I usually pick our daughte...

AITA for wanting to give my 5 year old consequences

So, i am totally willing to accept AITA here. My son is actually 4, almost 5. My wife is a big believer in no punishment, natural consequences, etc. Recently (especially at night, he doesn't nap so he's tired in the evening), he tends to be a real a*shole. I know it sounds harsh but there's just no other way to put it. He gets mad over nothing, throws stuff at us, screams over anything etc. No...

AITAH for refusing to let my husband name our daughter after his late wife

I’m 29 and 35 weeks pr****nt with our first child. My husband is 36 and was previously married. His first wife pa*sed away eight years ago. I’ve always been respectful of her memory. There are photos of her in our house, and we’ve talked about her openly. I’ve never tried to erase her or act like their history didn’t exist. When we found out we were having a girl, we both made lists of name...

AITAH for not re-heating dinner for my husband after 10?

I became a stay at home mom recently. It's a decision that me and my husband agreed upon. However, I have set limits on how much I'm required to do and for how long, because I feel like even though I'm a wife and a mother, I'm still a woman who needs time and space to look after myself. I can't take care of my family when I can't even take care of myself. So I told my husband that at 10pm I'm ...

AITA for telling my transgender child I need more time to process?

I (58 M) have a child (FtM 17) who is transgender. My child uses he/him pronouns at school and around friends and also goes by a preferred name at school. My wife and I signed off on anything related to school, and refer to my child with the preferred name and pronouns around teachers and friends. We are also in the process of hiring a college counselor, and introduce my child with the preferr...

My wife, Fah (32F), is from Thailand. We met while she was stud**ng in the US, fell in love, and got married five years ago. Shes an amazing woman, kind, hardworking, and incredibly smart. Unfortunately, my parents have never fully accepted her. From the beginning, they made offhand comments about her being a gold digger and only marrying me for a green card. No matter how many times I told...

AITA for telling my coworker he should teach his daughter tact?

I (32F) work in an office with my coworker Ken (40M) who has a daughter Esme (15F). Ken and I are friendly, we've worked together for a few years now and over the last year maybe I have been trying to open the door with som**hing romantic. I was being very obvious, but it never went anywhere, and I thought that it was because he was clueless. A few weeks ago Esme came with Ken's dad to bring l...
