AITA for snapping at my sister after my parents asked me to skip a Christmas gift this year so she could get special braces?

I (16m) have a younger sister (14f). Our parents always treated us differently because I'm a boy and she's a girl. They really don't want her to ever be disappointed and they'd always ask me to skip stuff or give up som**hing so she could do som**hing else or have som**hing else. Examples of that. If we both got invited to birthday parties on different days they'd ask me to skip it so she could...

UPDATE: AITA for refusing to sing at my brother's wedding?

Future SIL reached out to me because her washer broke and she wanted to come over and do a quick load of laundry. I wasn't thrilled about this, but I live close enough, I have in-unit, and the laundromats in our area are not the safest. I was content to just watch TV silently in my tiny apartment while we waited, but she of course had som**hing to discuss. I thought for sure she'd be the third ...

AITA for telling my parents I don't love my sister?

I (16f) have a younger sister (15f) who's spoiled by our parents because she was born pr****urely and almost didn't make it. She was way too early and spent a lot of the first few years of her life in hospital (the first year) and then in and out of hospital until she was like 6 or 7. Our gave her everything she wanted and went all out for Christmas, birthdays and any little thing they could. ...

AITA for not checking on my dad's pr****nt girlfriend when she was in the hospital while he was out of town?

My dad and I (17M) don't have the greatest relationship and never really had. It was one of the reasons my parents divorced and he was always very emotionally distant with me. That hasn't really changed. He started dating Mona two years ago and they're expecting a baby together. Her pregnancy has been really complicated so she was hospitalized several weeks ago and she hasn't come out of the h...

AITAH for not inviting my In-laws to my triplets birthday party?

My (28f) husband (29m) and I welcomed a set of triplet boys that were born so pr****urely we were told to not expect them to survive. My SIL was also pr****nt at this time and carried her son to full term. Anyway, after a very very long NICU stay and many appointments, all 3 boys are home and doing very well! My parents have been very involved with the triplets care and if it weren't for them ...

AITA for ignoring my dad and the new family he's made including his other children?

My parents got divorced almost 8 years after my sister, who was 3 at the time, d*ed. I was 10 at the time. When my sister d*ed my dad treated mom like ga***ge. He turned emotionally and verbally abusive and blamed my mom for my sister's death. He'd do this in front of me, as well as plenty of name calling. My sister was born pr****urely and even though it wasn't super early she had an issue wi...

AITA if I don’t give my sisters back even thought I adopted them?

Four months ago, I (27f) adopted my two youngest sisters, Juli (4) and Jackie (6). I had been raising them for some time because their father and stepmother were often unavailable due to work or partying. Their mother was pr****nt with triplets, and facing the prospect of three newborns plus two toddlers, she called me. She stated she did not want Juli or Jackie anymore because they were born ...

AITA for walking out of the hospital very soon after giving birth when my husband brought his mom in?

My husband and mom have this weirdly close relationship which has been a source of conflict before, usually when he has trouble telling her no. When I was pr****nt, I told my husband that I want it to be just us two in the hospital and we could have friends and family over the house later. I went into labor pr****urely, and my husband rushed us to the hospital in my car. It was unexpected. I...

AITA for not sticking up for my grandmother after my wife told her to f- off out of her hospital room?

About 3 weeks ago my Wife-33 went into pr****ure labor with our daughter at 31 weeks. It was entirely unexpected and both my wife and our daughter had a horrible time and it became quite dangerous for the both of them. My wife became preeclamptic among other serious complications and for the first week we weren't even sure if either my wife or our daughter would make it. Luckily they both surv...

AITA for buying a house without "consulting" my GF of 4 months?

I (37M) am a single dad with two kids (16M & 14M). I met my GF (32F) back in February. We dated casually and non-exclusively until June and then began dating exclusively starting in June. My GF has indicated that she wants to have kids, she has no kids currently. I am definitely open to that, but have told her only after dating at least a couple of years. I have been looking to buy a new ho...

AITAH for losing my sh*t when I found a pair of women’s underwear in my husband’s laundry that are not mine?

His only defense is “I don’t know how it got there.” So… I’m just supposed to roll over and accept he’s not cheating because he doesn’t have an explanation for a strange woman’s underthing to be found in his recent laundry? They’re in a size, style @ fit that I have never worn. Only reason why I found it was because I was putting together a work clothes load and I thought it was one of my th...

Update: AITA for telling my fiancée her tattoo of my d**d brother makes me uncomfortable??

Ex fiancée has gotten a removal scheduled for next week and has called, texted, and gotten her friends to message me and to apologise. I responded and asked to speak and we met yesterday at my parents house to speak, with my parents mediating. Just for safety and efficiency. She apologised numerous times and asked to give her a chance, saying that she's never been like this before and it's ...
