AITA for wanting to sleep sometimes in different bedrooms in my relationship?

I am in my early 30s, most of my relationships were long term; lived together and such.

But hear me out, my job demands me to attend different time zones so some night I am having meetings very late, I didn’t want to disturb his sleep -I am light sleeper myself- It ...

Her father (38M) is white and my baby looks predo****ntly whit...

AITA for taking my baby to see my family against my wife's wishes, and then telling her she needs to see a ther***st?

We came home from the hospital 5 weeks ago with our first child, a boy. For the next 4 weeks, my wife did not let any of my family visit our son. Her mother and sister came over several times a week. My wife refuses to let my family see him because she doesn't want to play host. My family understands that being a new mom is stressful and they have no expectations of being treated like proper gues...

AITA for saying my friend named her baby after me?

I had a friend in my early 20s, Melinda. She was always a little odd, but we remained friends for awhile. We were bridesmaids in each other’s weddings. We grew apart over the next decades as our lives took different turns. We did stay in contact via the odd text and Facebook post. She attended my virtual baby shower back in 2021. Recently, Melinda had a baby girl, announcing her name was Amelia...

AITA for refusing to wake up to take care of our baby

My wife Katie (25F) and I (28M) had our first baby together about 3 months ago. I’m an athlete, and Katie’s a stay-at-home mom. Sleep is very important for me because of my sport. I can’t be waking up multiple times throughout the night and be sleep-deprived. Katie and I talked about this before trying for a kid, and I told her that I can’t compromise my sleep for anything short of an emergency. ...

AITA for making my baby laugh at a restaurant

It was my wife's birthday yesterday. She picked out a mid-tier restaurant to go to for her birthday. This was no Chili's level, but not high-end either. We went at 5:30 on a Wednesday, so not that busy. We have a 10-month-old who's just about the happiest kid ever. Nearly anything I do makes him laugh. Well, at dinner, I was making him laugh. He'd throw in some happy yelling. Maybe got a touch lo...

AITA for not letting my MIL and FIL help me with the baby after their reaction to me being injured?

I (21F) have a 7-month-old son with my boyfriend. My family lives abroad and are coming over to stay and help at Christmas time. For now, my MIL and FIL (60s-Debra and Bob) are helping me with household stuff and the baby. So far, we haven’t had any real issues and they’ve been a ma*sive help. About 3 weeks ago, I fell down the stairs. I wasn’t holding the baby and the baby was safe. However, ins...

AITA for telling my friend her baby is the reason no one wants her around?

One of my (F24) friends, Anna (F24) had a baby around 6 months back. Our friendgroup is otherwise childless. All of us used to hang out a lot before the baby was born. The baby changed the dynamics because Anna wanted to bring the baby everywhere with her, and it's a baby. We tried to plan things around the baby to include Anna, but it always ended up badly. We shouldn't drink because Anna can'...

AITA because I slept in my daughter’s bed?

I (25F) got married to my husband (24M) who we’ll call Adam. When Adam and I were dating, I found out I was pr****nt with my ex’s kid. Adam didn’t care and was thrilled because he’s infertile, and has always wanted to be a dad. I tried for over a year to get in contact with my ex to see if he wanted to be a dad, and he nor his family ever answered me. Even when I went to their houses. So A has b...

AITA for making my daughter sleep in the backyard after what she did to our housemaid?

My daughter (16) is a high school junior. I noticed recently that she's been behaving in a bad manner, constantly commenting on other people's looks and belongings, calling them names, and just being insensitive. It's like she lost a filter or som**hing because usually she's polite, but my wife suspected that our daughter's sudden misbehavior occurred after she started hanging out with new girls f...

AITA for moving to a hotel because my wife's family insisted I sleep on the couch?

My wife and I got married last summer. Her family lives across the country from us, so up until this point I had never actually visited them, but I had met them a handful of times and we've always gotten along fine. They invited us to come visit and stay with them for a few days and we took them up on the offer. We flew in yesterday, and everything went well - her dad and I watched football while...
