AITA for telling my parents I would not care for my obese brother?

When my little brother Teddy was born, his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. According to my mom, he wasn't breathing for at least three minutes. Since then my parents often used that as an excuse for Teddy's behavior. My childhood became a living h**l with Teddy. "Give Teddy your candy! He d*ed coming into this world" "Let him play with your friends! He d*ed coming into this world!"...

AITA for bringing my degree into work to prove I graduated?

I (32M) work in an office where everyone has at least a bachelor’s degree. Most of my coworkers have their degrees framed on the walls of their offices, and some also have pictures of them at their graduations; I think I’m the only one that doesn’t. I’d rather decorate my walls with pictures of my wife and me on trips we’ve taken. I also didn’t even attend my college graduation, so I don’t hav...

AITA for not paying the vet bills after my neighbors dog ate food I left outside?

This week, I(28f) hosted a family gathering. The people there were my sister and her family(4 in total), my brother and his wife, my boyfriend, and mine and his parents. I live relatively out in the country, so it's not exactly common for whole properties to be fenced, usually it's just fences for animals. Since it was nice out, we ate lunch outside. Some of the food wasn't immediately broug...

AITA for making my son eat off dirty dishes?

This happened two months ago, but he’s still furious over it. I’m 45f. I love my oldest son, but he’s 17 and acts like it. Our family rotates ch**es- cooking, dishes, cleaning common areas are all done by each family member on different days. My son hates ch**es and always tries to half ass it to get out of doing it. It’s been a constant battle. Dishes are the worst. He overpacks the dishwa...
