AITA for not allowing my husband to fall asleep with the TV on?

Last night I got into a big fight with my husband because when we went to sleep, he wanted the TV on. He claims he can’t fall asleep without the TV on, but I can’t fall asleep unless I’m in a dark room. Sleeping with the tv on is bad for your sleep quality and health, it’s a bad habit that irks me and it prevents me from falling asleep. He thinks I should just patiently wait to go to sleep until...

AITA for telling my wife that putting our son to bed was now her job and then moving my bed into a separate room?

I (35m) and my wife (29f) have a two-year-old son. She is a SAHM and I work full-time, usually from 6:30am to 5:30pm or so. Being a toddler, my son should generally be sleeping between 11 and 14 hours a day. Therefore, what my wife and I aim for is for him to wake up at 7am, do all the typical daily activities, take a nap starting between 1:30pm and 2:00pm for two hours, and then go to bed again ...

AITA for saying no in my sleep?

I (17M) have a friend (16F) who stayed the night for the first time recently. We shared a bed (I'm gay and she's q**er) I thought it went well, and I had a lot of fun. But when I woke up, she seemed really angry. I asked what was wrong and she said that at around 3 am she asked for a blanket, five times, and apparently I said "what?" each time, and then said "no." and turned over, rudely. I laug...

AITA for not answering because I was sleeping. Parents called the police

After TG break, I (25F) flew back home to TX where I'm working temporarily. My family's in GA. We spend holidays in AL so I had to drive back to GA, to catch my flight back to TX. I almost missed the flight because of Thanksgiving/Sunday traffic, and got back to TX pretty late; very stressful day of travel and running around. Because of this, I was extremely exhausted and decided to crash at my ...

AITA for refusing to go in another room so my fiancé and the baby could sleep alone?

My fiancé "Jen" (29f) just gave birth to our daughter 2 months ago. She strictly b***stfeeds, so as you can imagine, she gets far less sleep than I do. During the day I help with changing or holding her but all feedings are up to Jen (the baby outright refuses a bottle- we have tried several times, but ultimately we are both okay with this). Anyways, I'm kind of a independent start up video game ...

AITA for faking sleeping all night to see if my wife is lying?

The past couple of months, my wife has been complaining about our cats. She’s been claiming that the cats wake her up constantly and that she’s frustrated every night that she “has to get up and open the door for the cats” or “the cats keep making noises” or “the cats keep jumping on her.” It got to the point where she started saying she wants me to get rid of them. I told her I’ve never seen or...

AITA for making my daughter and her wife sleep in different rooms?

My daughter (31F), her wife (33F) and their son (5M) live in a different state. I (60F) always am the one who goes to visit them in their house because of my DIL's busy work schedule. My daughter said she wanted to come and see me and her old friends with her family. They are currently renovating their house (they have a house in our city and usually stay there when they rarely do come over) and ...

AITA for sleeping in my daughter’s room after my husband told her she couldn’t have me at night and telling him off?

Our daughter is 5 and she’s been having trouble sleeping recently due to nightmares and us moving. She asked her dad if she could have me at night and he said no. She tried to negotiate with him and asked for one night and told him she was scared, but he told her she couldn’t as I needed to sleep with him at night. Even though she was crying, he didn’t back down. When I asked her what was wrong...

AITA for snapping at my boyfriend for leaving the toilet seat up?

This sounds so ridiculous but it happens way more often than you might think. Me (29F) and my boyfriend (40M) have been living together for about two years now, and he has an awful habit of leaving the toilet seat up, especially at night. I wake up a couple times at night to p*e thanks to a weak bladder, and every second counts when I'm hustling through the dark and trying not to trip on my cats. ...

AITA for telling my wife that if she wants to dictate sleep schedules for our kids, she is welcome to be a SAHM?

My wife and I (both early 30s) have two sons, an 8yro and a 2yro, and we are also raising her niece (5yro) currently, because her parents are in rehab. I'm a SAHD and my wife works. When we had our oldest, my wife was a SAHM for a little over a year, and then she decided to go back to work. She makes more money than I do, and I was really happy to spend time with our son, so I agreed to stay home...

AITA for sleeping on my weekends?

I (35F) have a stepdaughter (13) who spends every other weekend at my home. My husband and I have 3 kids (4 months, 2 years, and 4 years). My baby is super fussy; it's been really bad. The doctor said she is okay, she is really colicky. She cries all night long. The past few months have been a nightmare, working all day and no sleep at night. I am a super light sleeper. I have been canceling our...
