AITA for calling my sister an i**ot when she said she wants to name her baby “Anakin Skywalker”

My sister is 19, four years younger than me, and she became pr****nt unexpectedly with her boyfriend of only three months. She’s way too young for a kid, and that shows in a mult*tude of ways, but none so egregious as her name announcement. She posted on Facebook yesterday a calligraphy banner with “Anakin Skywalker *last name*” printed on it. I put a laugh react because obviously I thought ...

AITA for asking my wife not to cook for me anymore

My(30M) wife(26F) is a disaster in the kitchen. She leaves a huge mess behind after she's done with cooking. She uses a zillion utensils even to make a coffee. Today, she said she learnt this new recipe from her mum and went into the kitchen to prepare it. When She was done it turned out to be vodka pasta. It tasted horrible because she added an entire bottle of vodka. She also put too much sa...

AITA for giving my daughter's things back that were taken away as punishment?

I'm 31 and my husband is 30. Our daughter is 7, and she found a puppy in the front yard and played with it. Turns out it belonged to our neighbors, who were looking for it. They accused her of stealing it, and my husband gave her extra ch**es. She refused to do them, saying she didn't steal the puppy. The neighbors came to apologize a bit later, as their son confessed to losing the puppy on...

AITA for demanding my friend pays for the chair she broke?

I have this friend who is pretty big. Like, 350lbs or maybe a bit more, while everyone else in our circle is more on the slim side. I love her very much and want her to feel at home at my place, so I made sure that my new chairs at the dining table are safe for her to use. But then she didn't really find them comfortable. No armrests that would be tight to fit in or curved seats to press into ...

AITA for refusing to give my parents money now, after they kicked me out at 18?

So I (24M) was kicked out of the house by my parents literally the day I turned 18. No warning, no support just “you’re an adult now, figure it out.” I didn’t have savings, no job lined up, no backup plan. I slept in my car for a bit, couch surfed, and did everything I could just to survive. Fast forward a few years through a lot of struggle, I built my life back. Got a s**ble job, picked u...

AITA for flipping out after being told it was my dad's wedding day while we were driving to it?

My parents are divorced and have shared custody. My parents do not get along with each other at all. They are always trying to get back at each other. And while my mom is more vocal with her pettiness, I can clearly see the bu****it my dad pulls even though he tries to hide it. I got picked up for my week with my dad and he says that we are going to his friend's house an hour away for a surp...

AITA: I told my overweight coworker is she ate like me she would look like me.

I (25F) have been pretty skinny all my life. I eat healthy most of the time, exercise regularly, not consume my weight in PopTarts (a real problem in college). I also don't think I’m better than fat people. I think obesity is a complex issue and merely reducing the obesity epidemic to ‘Move More, Eat Less’ doesn’t take into account the socio-economic complexities, mental health issues, physica...

AITA for refusing to lie to my mother's husband about how I met my husband?

My mother and I have never gotten along. She's very serious, overachiever, type A and I've always clashed with people like that. She is also pretty self righteous about things like pride, work ethic, and she just isn't my type of person. I feel bad because I'm her only child and I really wish she had a daughter she could actually enjoy. My mom wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer, because t...

AITA for warning others about a girl’s STI?

To cut a long story short, I slept with a girl called Madison at a toga party. We had both been drinking but not in anyway drunk. Just a couple beers. The next morning a friend approached me and asked why I slept with her when she has herpes. I had no idea and obviously would not have slept with her had I known. I was annoyed she did not disclose this and feel she had a moral obligation to do so...

AITA for telling a girl that I’m not attracted to her beacause of her appearance?

Yesterday, I (24M) attended a party. There were many of my old friends there. One of the girls, 25?, was someone who I was close to growing up but lost contact with after. The two of us reconnected and talked. She was drinking a bit, although I didn’t. Later on, she was putting her arm around me, holding my hand, etc, which I stopped because I have a girlfriend and I told her so. Then, she a...

AITA for getting upset when my girlfriend nearly started a kitchen fire?

I am 30/m, homeowner. I had been with my girlfriend, 25/f, for about 8 months when we decided to try living together. So we had been living together for 2 months when this happened. We both work full-time and she's also in grad school. She is extremely s**tterbrained, absent-minded, and messy. She was cooking a soup on the stove and apparently went in the other room to do homework, and at s...
