AITA for saying I owe my ex's wife nothing and being quietly glad my kids don't consider her their second mom?

My (30f) marriage to my ex (32m) ended during my pregnancy with our son who is now 8. We divorced formally when he was two months old. But we separated at the very beginning of the pregnancy and co-parented our daughter, who is now 10, throughout that time, as difficult as it was. After the divorce was over things turned more sour and we avoided each other except for exchanges. Two and a ha

AITA for not wanting my mom to cover my daughter's chest in pictures

My daughter is 17 months old. Being that she is a toddler, she would live in just her diaper if she could. When she's at home, we let her run free, and thus, most of our pictures are of her in just her diaper. My mother posts a lot of my daughter's photos on facebook, which I don't mind, but she is constantly editing little heart or smiley face stickers over my daughter's nipples. To me, this j

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

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 something so she could do something else or have something 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

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 prematurely 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 pregnant girlfriend when she was in the hospital while he was out of town?

AITA for not checking on my dad's pregnant 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

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, died. I was 10 at the time. When my sister died my dad treated mom like garbage. 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 prematurely and even though it wasn't super early she had an issue wi

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

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 pregnant, 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 prematurely, and my husband rushed us to the hospital in my car. It was unexpected. I

AITA for not letting my parents into my son's life after they secretly tested his DNA?

I met my wife Sonya at a restaurant where she worked as a waitress. It took me a while to finally be her boyfriend. I introduced her to my parents and they voiced out their disapproval after meeting her. My parents think that Sonya is only using me to achieve her American dream. I told them that is racist and I am very offended by their assumption. After my wife accepted my marriage proposa

AITAH? We insisted we will pay for my cousin’s (17) girlfriend’s (19) expenses as long as she agrees to a DNA test when the baby is born.

AITAH? We insisted we will pay for my cousin’s (17) girlfriend’s (19) expenses as long as she agrees to a DNA test when the baby is born.

I’ve been my cousins (Sam and Olivia) legal guardian for about 8 years since their parents left our country. They send money for their expenses monthly and the plan is to have them relocate when they have to go to the university. As a side note, I had the sex talk with them when they were 13&15. I try to be as sex positive as possible and we have a specific box with condoms in it. It has a hole

AITA for stopping my family from seeing my daughter when I'm just a teen mom?

I (16f) have a daughter with my boyfriend (17m). She's 4 months old. We live together at his family's house right now. We go to school online and we both work part time to have money. His family have been amazing. This all started a couple of weeks ago. My sister (30) asked if she could take my daughter out for a few hours and my boyfriend and I agreed. We applied sunscreen, put a hat on he

AITA for blaming my 14yo sister's pregnancy on my parents?

I am a teenage girl living in Italy with extremely religious parents, and a now 26 week pregnant 14 year old sister. My parents raised us with no knowledge of sex, and did everything they could to ensure that we couldn't learn about sex in school (such as removing us from school in days sex education was performed, and going as far as to remove me from class whenever I had biology in my later s
