AITA For telling my wife to "Do it herself" after she volunteered me to help my neighbors again?

I am 28M and my wife is 26F, not sure if it is relevant but it seems to be common to mention this, we also have a 6 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. Now I work a lot, housing prices are very high here especially in the location we live, I work in IT so I make quite a lot but regardless it is a struggle and I often find myself working overtime to get some extra pay and of course climb up ...

AITA for telling my mom’s new husband that she has kids?

When I was 15, my mom left the family. For a long time, no one knew where she was or even if she was okay. Eventually, it was discovered that she was just “too overwhelmed” and left to handle herself. My brothers and I were raised by our uncle and my dad from that point on, but it was hard. I became like my brothers’ mom and had to grow up quicker than I probably should’ve. I got into therapy ...

AITA for buying a door to my son behind my husband's back?

My (35f) husband (46M) believes that until our son (M14) is 18, he should not have a private room because he is under our care. This is straining our relationship, as I believe a teen needs some freedom, including a door for privacy, but my husband insists on almost no freedom, citing, "this is what it'll take him to be a man" and "this is how I was raised." Since my son's birthday and Christma...

AITA for telling my parents I am not going to help them out ever again and they are now on their own?

I am the oldest in my family. I had two siblings. My sister d*ed when she was 6 months old in a SIDS death. I was 5 at the time. When I was 6 they had my brother. From a young age my brother showed concerning behavior and over the years it only got worse. He is very destructive and angry and has been in and out of our local children's hospital for psych evals and behavioral a*sessments since h...

AITA for telling my neighbour to get over it when I wake her baby up?

My garage is about 3 metres away from my neighbour's bedroom where their baby sleeps. I've got a roller door which beeps quietly four times within 20 seconds of me arriving home and pushing the b**ton. It's so quiet that at times I can't hear it when sitting in the room adjacent to the garage when my partner comes home. Since my neighbour had her baby, I've made an effort to be more conside...

AITA For telling my 13-year-old sister that she's the reason she doesn't have friends?

I (19F) have a sister, Nora (13F). Nora is cla*sified as being moderately gifted, bordering on highly gifted. However, Nora is incredibly arrogant and egotistical. She claims that other people are “intellectually inferior” and that they are, essentially, too s***id for her to a*sociate with. She would make similar comments about me until I got admitted to a selective university and began study...

AITA for calling my half siblings bad people for screaming at my dad because he doesn't want to be buried with their mom but mine instead?

My dad lost his first wife over 20 years ago. My half-siblings (late 20s to early 30s) are his kids from that marriage. He met my mom three years after his first wife d*ed, and they got married and had me (17f). They were expecting my little brother when I was 2, but he was stillborn. My half-siblings never seemed okay with dad remarrying. This escalated recently when they confronted him ab...

AITA for telling my 9 month pr****nt GF, we are not getting rid of our 4 month old puppy just because she’s getting “overwhelmed”!

For starters she’s 39 weeks, she’s literally about to pop. She also got the dog without consulting me, it was literally a spur of the moment thing with her, and not one time did I b**ch about it, or trip. He’s the loveliest Golden Lab mix with green eyes. I will say he’s a handful, and though our apartment is spacious, it’s only but so big. I feel like he sleeps most of the time, but when he’s...

AITA for trying to leave a Super Bowl party when the Eagles were kneeling out the clock with their backups?

We went to her parent’s house to watch the Super Bowl. Had food, some drinks, standard stuff. When the game was far out of reach I wanted to go home and said let’s go. This was with around 1:50 left. The Eagles had dumped Gatorade on their coach, celebrated on their sideline, and already put their backups in. She wanted to stay to watch all the stuff after the game. I don’t care about any o...

My niece's (13) birthday was last Wed. She's the most intelligent, most creative kid in the family. She loves her Auntie's (me) lasagna and says it's to d*e for. For her birthday, she asked that I make her lasagna cause she loves it so much and having it will complete her happy day, I agreed with no hasitation. The day before her birthday I got to work. I went shopping for ingred*ents and spen...

AITA for treating my coworker differently after she accused me of making her uncomfortable when I covered for her at work?

I (30M) work in an office with a small team. A few months ago, my coworker Samantha (28F) had an emergency and had to leave work early. She was supposed to finish a report that was due the next morning, so she asked if I could help cover for her. I had some extra time, so I finished up her report and sent it in under both of our names to make sure she got credit. The next day, she thanked m...

AITA for saying “yikes” when a friend asked me out.

I’ve been friends with this guy named John, for around 2-3 years, we’re fairly close and John has always tried to let on hints that he might be interested in me. Despite that John knows that I’m in a longtime relationship with my boyfriend of around 4-years who we’ll call C. Now C trusts me and despite knowing that John might be interested, he lets me handle it by myself. I’ve tried to make ...
