AITA for building a Fence on my property and not allowing my neighbor to hang stuff on it or paint it?

I bought a house with a big a*s yard several months ago, it is my very first house and the most expensive thing I have ever owned. Prior to this I have only ever lived in apartments, and the dynamic between neighbors seems really different, which is another reason I am asking. When I moved here there was a very old rotten wooden fence on the property separation line between me and my new neighb...

AITAH, if I don't want to go on vacation with my friends because they try to micromanage the expenses?

I (30m) have a group of five friends from university who are around the same age as me. For the past two years, we've gone on vacation together—first to Mexico and then last year to Egypt. We've always had a great time, and we get along well. However, when it comes to sharing costs, I find myself struggling. It's not the group that has an issue; it's me who has the problem. To provide some ...

AITA for calling my boyfriend a weirdo when he said a white woman wears hoop earrings to attract black men ?

I (27f) am very confused. My boyfriend (25m) and I are both white. I was at the gym. My boyfriend came to pick me up but I wasn't done with my workout. He pointed out the fact that I was wearing silver hoop earrings. I thought he was going to say it som**hing about them not being safe at the gym. But what he said was, a white woman wears hoop earrings to attract black men. I was so flabber...

AITA for refusing to force my son to apologize to my wife for "ruining" her New Years toast sp*ech?

My son ‘Finn’ (18) is from a previous relationship. Since early childhood I had full custody; his mother is not in the picture. We were both young when he was born, so his childhood was a little uns**ble for a bit. However, I have my life together now. I got married when he was 7, and together me (m37) and my wife ‘Mary’ (f40) live as a blended family, with my two stepsons ‘Cody’ (16) and ‘Luc...

AITAH for eating nuts next to someone with an allergy on a plane?

Had a bizarre situation today. I was flying from Hawaii to Florida. The stewards were walking around giving out mixed nuts. The woman seated next to me said to the flight attendants that she didn’t want any because she is allergic to nuts and that there should’ve been a note in their system regarding not serving her nuts. The attendant said in the survey she’d filled out for the airline rega...

AITA for getting my girlfriend a gift basket full of things she avoided during pregnancy?

I (m26) became a dad a month ago. Hence, why I’m posting at 4 am. I can’t sleep. I got my girlfriend (f24) who I was living with pr****nt. Her parents never really approved of me after that. When I brought her home after the birth, her parents came with us. I paid a buddy of mine to buy a bunch of things she couldn’t have while pr****nt or avoided while pr****nt and put them in a basket. So...

AITA for refusing to babysit my deceased best friend's kids after her husband's betrayal?

My best friend "Emma" pa*sed away from cancer two years ago. We were like sisters—she was my maid of honor, I was hers. When she was diagnosed, I was her primary caregiver, helping her through chemo and spending every possible moment with her. Her husband "Mike" was a different story. During her treatment, I discovered he was having an affair with a coworker. Emma knew but was too sick to deal ...

AITA for not cooking "fancier" meals?

I'm the only one who cooks in our house. It's just 4 of us, my husband, my daughter and little brother. My husband is 27 and I'm 25. My husband barely knows how to make eggs, even though I've tried to talk to him constantly about learning how to cook. My daughter and brother are still in elementary school so they only help me cook. The responsibility falls on me and it's honestly exhausting....

AITAH for reacting like this to finding out my bf has 2 kids?

I (25F) have been dating a guy (31M) for the past 2 months. However, last night he told me he has 2 kids. I was honestly shockeddd that this was the first time he was telling me. Especially since we’ve been dating over Christmas and didn’t even mention it? I’ve never dated anyone who had kids before, so naturally I was curious and started asking questions. Whenever I got to my 4th question ...

AITA for propositioning a girl in the gym?

The gym I go to is very small. Not a lot of machines and not a lot of patrons. This means working out fairly close to people even if you don’t mean to. Yesterday I (23 f if it makes a difference) was on the extended leg press doing my thing when a girl and her boyfriend began working out on the machine beside me. (One would do a set while the other waited beside them) The girl looked at me, ro...

AITA for flipping out on my daughters teacher after she made the comment "Well, life isnt fair" in response to my daughter saying she was overwhelmed?

So, my daughter(8) goes to a school system that just recently jumped on board with remote learning. As in we literally just got tablets set up through the school last Friday. Prior to this my daughter was going to school twice a week and was NEVER sent home with any sort of school/homework. Instead of easing their way in to the remote learning like most schools have done, they decided to slam m...
