AITA for leaving in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner because of pumpkin pie?

My (32f) Mother (60f) hosts Thanksgiving dinner at her house every year. It’s a small event, with my parents, me, my brothers family and my SILs family attending. We avoid family quarrels by implementing a strict “no politics” rule and trying our best to be civil. I should probably mention that we are not a particularly close-knit family. We rarely see each other beyond these events since my B...

AITAH for not helping carry things I didn't want to bring?

I live ten minutes from a lake. I go several times a week. When I go I bring nothing but myself and a bottle of water. I neither need nor want blankets, towels, coolers, chairs or any accoutrements. Most of the time I go alone, but occasionally a friend will come along. This friend requires blankets, towels, chairs, various drinks, snacks and sunblock and a*sorted other lake stuff. That's fi...

AITA for explaining to my future SIL why her kids will never receive anything from us?

I (27F) have a brother (33M) who has been dating his girlfriend Sarah for 2 years and he proposed a couple of moths ago. Sarah has 2 kids from her previous relationship 8M & 6F. I would say that my parents and I are not very close to Sarah and her kids but we are cordial and never had any problems before. My partner, I, bro and Sarah attended the Easter dinner at my parents and that's when the ...

AITA for telling the truth to my ther***st?

I [17F] just might have landed my mom [38F] some legal trouble and I feel terrible for it.

AITA for letting my children order full meals instead of kids?

We went to a restaurant for my MIL bday lunch. When orders were being taken, SIL announced that ALL the kids would be having kids meal tenders and fries with juice. My 9yo and 4yo eat adult meals, 2 chicken tenders and handful of fries will not fill them up so when the waiter got to me, I told him my kids will have adult meals since I'm the one paying for them, so they ordered their meals and my S...

AITA for saying I won’t coddle my infertile sister any more?

My sister “Julie” has tried to have a baby for 5 years. She had a miscarriage 2 years ago and outside that, has been unable to get pr****nt. My heart hurts for her. However, one thing I don’t agree with is how my family has handled it. We’re not allowed to talk about babies around Julie. Any kids younger than 3 can’t come to family events that she’ll attend. She won’t attend baby showers, bapt...

AITA For blowing up when I found that my husband recorded my therapy session?

My 26F. Mom pa*sed away in Dec. It was hard for me to process what happened. I have to say me and mom had a lot of issues between us. There's so much that I couldn't say to her. And I'm struggling with grief. My dad is deceased my mom was my remaining parent. And growing up I had many issues with her. I went no contact with her several times. Then I re-connected with her. Then we'd get into an...

AITA for moving out mid-lease and stranding my roommate with full rent after his girlfriend keeps accusing me of being “creepy”?

So I’ve been living with my current roommate for 2 years now. I’m actually subletting and I’m on my 2nd year which is month-to-month, but we’ve had an unofficial “verbal” agreement that I’d stay until the end of the year. I mean it’s a pandemic, I didn’t think I’d move either. Anyways his gf moved in beginning of this year. It’s been...a lot. She’s obviously had some trauma in the past. I d...

AITA for snapping at my boyfriend because he refuses to buy me pads?

My boyfriend is super sweet up to a point when I’m on my period. He’ll get me tea, snacks, paink**lers, whatever. He acts like he’s trying to take care of me, which is why this feels so weird! Every time I ask him to grab me pads or tampons if he’s already going to the store, it’s an immediate no. Not I forgot or I didn’t have time, just no. Flat out refuses. I’ve asked him why and he gets awk...

AITA for calling my parents thieves for taking the money I saved for my 16th birthday and spending it on new sneakers for my autistic sister?

I (soon 16f) don't get to celebrate my birthday every-year because my parents can't afford it. I got myself a summer job months ago and saved money for my "sweet 16" birthday since my parents won't be doing anything for me this year either. My birthday is next week. Yesterday I discovered that mom searched my room and took the 120$ I saved and hid under my bed like she always does. I called her...

AITA for refusing to let my wife spend my money on her best friend?

My wife has known her best friend since middle school. Her friend is a lawyer and her family is quite well off. She makes a lot and is pretty generous with it. My wife has had a few things paid for by her. Specifically she covered my wife’s portion of her bachelorette trip. The other friends didn’t make much and so she covered it. She also paid for a portion of my wife’s rent twice and she nor...

AITA for not inviting my brother’s girlfriend to Thanksgiving after she ruined last year’s dinner?

I (32F) host Thanksgiving every year for my family. Last year, my brother (29M) brought his new girlfriend, Emily (28F), to dinner. I had never met her before, but I wanted to make her feel welcome. Everything was fine until we sat down to eat. Emily announced she couldn’t eat most of the food because it wasn’t “organic” or “clean.” She loudly criticized the dishes I spent hours making, saying ...
