UPDATE: AITA for jumping out of the way when my niece and nephew tried to push me into a pool, resulting in them falling in?

First off, my folks tell me that my nieces and nephews are all good swimmers and that they use the pool all the time. The 7-year-old is still a beginner, but he loves the water. My sister just said they couldn't swim so I'd look bad. To be fair, none of the kids are allowed in the deep end, which is where they fell in. It was the two 10-year-olds and the 9-year-old who tried to push me into the ...

AITA for not apologizing and causing my daughter to lose one of her few friends?

My daughter is 12 years old. She’s always struggled making friends but last school year met “Danielle”. To me, Danielle was a little bossy and cared a lot about popularity, obsessed with making my daughter popular but I figured she was just trying to help. And she was nice. When the schools reopened, Danielle’s mom asked me if I wanted to carpool. She’d drive the kids in the morning and I’d pick...

AITA for willingly choosing to be a single father?

So I (37M) had a kid (23M) when I was 14. His mother and I were 13 when we started dating and had no clue about anything and it resulted in a pregnancy. Despite the odds against it and immense difficulty, we kept our son, remained together and were happily together for over 21 years. We were married for 9 before my wife pa*sed away from cancer aged only 34. Losing my wife devastated me and my so...

AITA for standing by my husband's m**hod of disciplining my son?

Throwaway because I post about work on my main. I have a 7 year old son from a previous relationship, and my husband and I have been together for 3 years. While their relationship isn't bad, they have never been able to bond as a father and son, and so my son tends to give him a lot of pushback. My husband has a large collection of figurines, which he has been collecting since high school. They ...

AITA for keeping an emergency family iphone secretly hidden in the car my daughter drives so I can always track the location of the car?

Well the cat’s out of the bag on this one, but it doesn’t matter because now I have justification to reinstate previous, more stringent cell phone rules. My daughter is 16, and as most 16-year-olds, she has her own phone with less parental control. But I still have sensible rules like no turning off iPhone tracking, always answer my texts or calls immediately or within a reasonable time frame when...

AITA for not helping a woman on the subway?

I'm coming home from work and the train is pretty crowded. It's standing room only so I grab onto a metal bar and hold on for dear life. I notice a guy and a girl to my right with the guy towering up close and personal to the girl while she was essentially with her back to a wall. I first thought they were a couple because the guy kept leaning down and whispering to her and they were far too clo...

AITA if I choose to disown my sister after she thought our sister d**ng was a joke?

This probably sounds obvious, but there is more to it. Our sister pa*sed 3.5 yrs ago, and my sister is just now coming back into my life since she has “straightened” herself out. My younger sister Marty took a different path in life. She got expelled from school for vandalism, dropped out of high school multiple times. She got into heavy drugs and drinking. She ran away from home because my mothe...

AITA for refusing to speak to my sister because she wouldn’t let my daughter be a flower girl at her wedding (she originally was a flower girl) and causing multiple family members to boycott too

So I (28f) have a sister (26f) who got married last month. I’m gonna be blunt, my sister has always been one of those people that has to have everything perfect, to the point where sometimes it was hard to be around her. But she was my little sister and I’ve no other siblings, so I always made excuses when she’d hurt me when I was doing things right in her eyes. I was kinda nervous when she aske...

AITA For refusing to take my sister and her kids in unless her husband stays out?

So, my father (F32) pa*sed away two years ago. He left my half-sister and me (same dad, different moms) an inheritance that was split equally. My sister spent her inheritance within a few months. She's a stay-at-home mom with two kids and has always struggled financially. I haven't touched my inheritance. I live in an apartment I inherited from my biological mom in 2016. My sister sat me down to ...

AITA for disinviting my father from my wedding after he attended my ex's wedding?

I had an awful breakup with my ex when I was 24. I had been with him for 7 years. But my parents knew him since when he was 12. My parents are divorced but they both really loved my ex and treated him like a son. When we broke up, I told my parents that they were to cut off contact with my ex. That I don't want him involved in any aspect of my life. And I a*sumed that my parents stuck to their w...

AITA for not helping my daughter financially after she cuts me off

I am now in an extremely s**tty situation. My daughter (Jane) cut all contact with me after my wife made some r***st comments about her bf. I agree what she did is disgusting, but Jane told me to choose either between her or my wife. How the h**l am I supposed to do that? TBH, my wife comes from a r***st family. I called her out many times, but I think racism is deeply rooted into her now; it ...

AITA for calling out a secretary and threatening to report her to her manager after she revealed health information?

I got a needle stick injury at work (I'm a healthcare worker) and my family doctor filled out a lab requisition for baseline bloodwork to be done. One of the tests is HIV. I went to an external lab to get it done because my family MD office is closed. It’s a typical diagnostics lab. In the waiting area there are 5 other people sitting down. I go to the secretary and hand her the req forms. She t...
