AITA for refusing to let my parents move in and reminding them that they backed the wrong horse?

My (37m) family comes from and is a long line of doctors, being a doctor is the only acceptable profession in their eyes and anything aside from that is met with literal abandonment. Which is what happened to me when I turned 17 and told my family I was NOT going to be a doctor but to build an acting career / social media career (youtube wasn't huge then) and supplement my income with small busin...

AITA for telling my wife that she doesn't spend enough time with her son and is not being a good mom to him?

When my wife was 20, she had a son, "Brandon" for the sake of this post. It was just the two of them for a long time until I met my wife in 2016. Things moved quickly in our relationship and by 2017 we had moved in together and she was pr****nt. My wife comes from a big family (1 of 5 kids) and had always wanted at least four kids, so she was eager to get started on adding to our family since by t...

AITA for not doing a favor for my dad and telling him I don't owe him or his favorite wife and kids favors?

After our mom d*ed, dad told me and my siblings (17m, 16f and 14m) that he was glad that part of his life was over and he was going to find someone he actually loved and wanted to be with, and we better be ready because he wasn't slowing down for us. This was 10 years ago. He met a few women before his wife of 9 years. They were together a few months before they got married, and she was pr****nt...

AITA for telling my husband no?

I (30M) am married to my husband Michael (30M). We both met in college, moved a few years ago, and got married recently. A little backstory. Michael grew up in the conservative Bible Belt with an older brother (John) and a younger sister (Chelsea). She’s 17. So, you know, Michael's parents totally, 100% accepted him for being gay. NOT. His parents were livid, and he moved as far away from them as...

AITA for making a comment about my friend not having a job after she expected us to bye her food.

Awhile ago, I was in the car with some friends, and we were all driving to an art store. One of my friends (let’s call her Anna) mentioned she was hungry. Her boyfriend was in the back seat with her, and they started talking about what to eat. For context, we are all adults, but Anna doesn’t work and doesn’t like spending her boyfriend’s money. We suggested a pizza place, but she said, "Well, I d...

AITA for creating a safe account for my wife?

I (38M) and my wife Eve (33F) have been together for 4 years, married for 2. Eight months ago, our twins were born, and Eve decided to stay home with them (her decision, not mine). For some context, I grew up in a wealthy family, while Eve did not. Her mother, a single mom, was loving but had to work a lot, which influenced Eve’s decision to stay home with our children. Now, I grew up with incred...

AITA for bringing up just how much I actually do for our household to my wife?

Can't believe I actually have a reason to post som**hing on reddit, but here I am. My wife (41F) and I (42M) have been married for 15 years. I apparently surprised her by being capable of doing household ch**es and tasks, which I didn't think much of. My mom always asked me to help out with ch**es when I was a kid so I didn't think it was beneath me or anything. I do think I inherited her need ...

AITA for taking a little time to myself in the mornings?

My wife (30f) Lara and I (35m) have 2 children, ages 2 and 3.5 and have been married for 5 years. Lara is a SAHM to our boys and takes the boys 3 days a week to take care of her grandmother who has dementia, the other 4 days a nurse comes in. I work in retail management. My typical schedule is 1pm-10pm with a one hour lunch if I choose to take it. I live about 45 minutes from my job and I like t...

AITA for enforcing basic boundaries on my daughter's sleepover?

I 42M, have two kids living with me, my daughter Anya (17F) and my stepson Noah (14M). Noah’s mom pa*sed a few years ago, and I’ve had full custody since. He’s had a rough go of it, but he’s a good kid, with his quirks. He’s not antisocial or shy, but he does not appreciate having his space invaded and when very upset, he can kinda 'shut down'. Anya is much more outgoing and has a lot of friends-...

AITA for refusing to give my sister our moms’ pride flag

My ma recently d*ed to cancer (my maman d*ed about 5 years prior) and between the two of them there were very few material possessions that my sister, brother, and I would get in the will (we got a lump sum from selling their apartment and freedom to split how we liked, down the middle was always our go-to). Ma gave a bunch of stuff away while she was in hos**ce so pretty much the only sentimental...

Bride refuses to give 'pick-me girl' sister a plus-one to her wedding, 'she will only date rich men.' AITA?

Hi reddit, I (25F) am a Winter 2024 bride, and am marrying the absolute love of my life. My sister and I have always had a great/interesting relationship. Most sisters would know, one day you start fighting because she wore your clothes, and the next day you’re having Dunkin together, typically sisterly things. Well my sister has always been to put it frankly a pick me girl. She has no friends th...

'AITA for approaching women at the bar while my wife was talking another man?' 'I felt like a third wheel.'

My wife (35f) and I (36m) went to a bar last weekend for some drinks and dancing. When we got inside, I told my wife I needed to use the restroom and gave her some cash to go but us some drinks. After I used the restroom, I find her at the bar with our drinks and she is chatting with another man. I have no issues with this. I approach my wife, grab my drink, and try to join in on the conversation...
