AITA for taking my parent's side when my brother came out of the closet?

My family has always been liberal and have not been shy about other people knowing it. Like they would have the who they are voting for signs of the front porch. Everyone in the family is also fine with LGBT + community and supports it. So my (16M) brother (19 M) came out as gay today to the whole family. My parents smiled and said congratulations and we will always love you/support him. Then t...

AITA for walking out of my ILs with my daughter and leaving my husband behind because they all ganged up on me to name our son one of the family names?

My husband (32m) and I (31f) have been married for 5 years, we have a 2 year old daughter together and I'm expecting our son in a few months. When we met he told me there were some family names for the boys that everyone was encouraged to use and he didn't want to. I told him I hated the idea of being obligated to name my kids after other people so that worked for me. He mostly goes by his mid...

AITA for asking my daughter to stop complaining about her life. She chose it.

My daughter, Geena 38, left her husband, Dan 40, for a younger and more exciting man from her work. They broke up when she got hit with a condo levy she asked him to help pay for since he was living with her. He declined since he wasn't on the deed. He said he didn't mind paying rent but that maintenance was on the owner. They fought and that was that. She ended up having to sell the condo. ...

AITA For telling my daughter in law to toughen up

My wife and I are in our 60s and nearing retirement. We have 3 sons in their 20s and 30s, the older two are married and the oldest has a 1-year old son. We all live within an hour of each other, but due to the pandemic we have not gotten together much the last 6 months. We even had to do a zoom call for my grandson's 1st birthday since his parents didn't want a group gathering. With Thanksgivi...

AITAH for telling my husband I hope his mom does d*e, after he secretly flew across the country to “say goodbye” to her without telling me… and drained our baby fund to do it?

So. I (31F) am currently 8 months pr****nt with our first child. My husband (34M) and I have been saving like crazy. We had about $12k put aside for baby expenses, maternity leave cushion, crib, diapers, hospital bills, etc. Last week, I woke up and he was just gone. I called, texted, nothing. After 6 hours of pure panic, he finally calls and says he’s in Florida because his mom (who’s been sic...

AITA for not forcing my daughter to share?

I have a daughter(F14) with my ex, my gf has a son(M16) and a daughter(F14). She recently gave birth to our baby girl. My daughter is an extremely light sleeper. This is relevant. My gf insisted on moving in with us after giving birth which is understandable because she needs help. Our baby is obviously in our room. I prepared my office for her kids. My daughter has always had the bas**en...

AITA. Father in law called me lazy and disappointing.

My wife (26f) and I (30m) recently had our first child and we traveled cross states to visit family this weekend. While at my father in law (53m) home, he asked me if I was looking into any new jobs as I am a gig driver full time. I told him I prefer this line of work as I have as much free time as I need while making ends meet. While discussing this, I bring up that with our son, we qualif...

AITA for blowing up at my husband at my husband for eating my daughter's bday candy?

My husband and I have a 12 year old daughter and an 8 year old son. My husband is the "no" parent. For as long as I can remember he will say no in stores or sports games to the kid's requests for snacks or toys, even if they offer to pay with their own cash. I don't undermine my husband when we are together but when I have the kids alone, I do tend to say yes (within reason of course, and not ...

AITA for being upset about my lack of Christmas gifts?

I (17M) wanted a PS5. I repeatedly told my parents I wanted a PS5. My mom said they were hard to come by and asked what else I’d like. I said nothing, if I couldn’t get a PS5, then don’t bother with anything else. That’s the only thing I wanted. I may have been a little to insistent about it. Come Christmas morning there’s nothing for me but my favorite candy and a winter coat. I didn’t unders...

AITA for refusing to let my sister and her kids move into the house that I bought?

I'm a 32 year old woman and I just bought my first house. It has 3 bedrooms, a yard and is just what I need right now. I'm single and have 2 dogs. My sister is 34, has 3 children and lives in a 2 bedroom apartment. Lately, she's been talking about how such a tiny living space is not enough for the four of them. When she got to know about the house I had bought, she became very upset and tol...

AITA for mocking my nephew and ganging up on him for asking whether me or my husband was 'the woman'?

My family (my folks, my brother and his family, my sister and her family, me and my husband) had our first get together since the thing started on the weekend (we're all vaccinated now), during which I discovered my formerly adorably precocious kid of a nephew has hit his 'edgy teen' stage with gusto. He had an att*tude all afternoon, which culminated in him asking me and my husband (gay coupl...
