AITA for not letting my kids go on vacation with my ex because it's my time with them.

Right now both of my kids (16-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter) and my ex are extremely mad at me because I won't give up my appointed time with them. My son won't even talk to me and my daughter is crying all the time. A little backstory. Me and my ex divorced shortly after my daughter was born. I blame him for it and he blames me. We ended up with a 50/50 custody agreement switching every

AITA for serving my boyfriend's parents pizza for dinner?

I'm a 28-year-old woman dating a 31-year-old man for seven months. His family is of Italian origin and highly values their heritage. They have visited my apartment before, but last night, his parents stopped by unexpectedly, claiming they were visiting a friend nearby and decided to stay for dinner. I panicked because it was late, I was working, and I had no time to cook, so I ordered pizza fo

AITA for being upset my MIL won't make a "family quilt" for me and my husband because we have no kids?

My MIL has made a small "family quilt" for all of her kids and their spouses (5 couples including us). The quilt is really cute, has the couple's names, their kids' names, and their favorite hobbies and things all done in stitching and cute little cloth pictures. I was really looking forward to getting ours because I admit I'm a bit of a hipster and I love home-made kitschy stuff like that for

AITA for Refusing to Co-Sign My Sister’s Mortgage After My Parents Went Behind My Back?

I (28F) have been busting my butt for years to save for my own house. I work in software, so I make decent money, but it still takes forever to build up a good down payment. Meanwhile, my younger sister (25F) is in grad school with barely any credit. Our parents (both mid-50s) found a house near them and decided she needs it. They made an offer—without telling me—and now the deal only goes thr

AITA for not wanting my kids every weekend?

My ex husband and I share custody of our 10 year old daughter and 12 year old son. We have a 2-2-3 schedule which usually looks like I have the kids Friday after school and then he gets them Monday after school. I get them back Wednesday after school and then he gets them Friday after school and then the week flip flops. We've done this since our divorce 5 years ago and it works well. I'm a nu

AITA for threatening to sue my sister because her kids broke my iPad?

This happened a couple of days before Christmas. My sister, her 3 kids (4,6,8), and I were all staying at my parents house for the holidays. I have a 1TB iPad Pro (the largest screen model) that I use for my job. I do digital commissions, design band posters, design flyers to make money on the side as I’m in college. I saved up for a year to buy this iPad, it was an investment in my hobby.

AITA for telling my kids babysitter that it was inappropriate of her to shower in my home?

I was confused but visibly upset but she tried to "reassure" me the kids

AITA for snapping at my friend who keeps ditching me because I now have a child?

Just over two years ago, I (f29) unexpectedly got pregnant and now have a beautiful 18 month old daughter, Ciara. Over that time my friends circle got considerably smaller but my best friend remained, Mia (f31). Mia doesn’t have kids nor wants kids but she’s been brilliant with Ciara. I’m a SAHM and obviously don’t have as much time to hang out as I did previously. Mia and I live on the same

AITA for bringing my baby to a child-free wedding?

My cousin lives a 6 hour drive from me and the rest of our family. A few months ago we all drove over there for his wedding. Due to limited space, no children were invited to the wedding except the bride's young nieces and nephews. My baby was 10 months old at the time and I wasn't comfortable leaving him alone in an unfamiliar place with a stranger, which was a babysitter that my other cousins
