AITA for how I punished my stepdaughter for flushing her sister's s**ces down the toilet?

I M42 married my current wife when my daughter (16) was 4 and my stepdaughter (14) was 2. They grew up as if they were blood siblings with occasional disagreements and jelousy issues mostly from my stepdaughter. 2 days ago was my daughter's dog's 3rd deaths anniversary. Usually, at that time she'd rather be alone to write poems or look at pictures of her beloved dog. This year she asked me to g...

AITAH For making my friend buy me a whole new bathing suit after it was returned with a s**t stain?

So this happened a couple weeks ago, and there’s still tension in the friend group over it, so I figured I’d ask Reddit. I (F19) went on a girls’ trip to Miami with some friends. One of my friends (F21), let’s call her “Mia,” asked to borrow one of my bathing suits since she forgot to pack one. I was fine with it so I let her wear a matching two-piece set that I’ve only worn a few times. Bef...

AITA for showing l**d piercings around co-workers

I 25f got sent to another branch with three other co-workers to train the workers at this branch a new protocol. My coworkers and I got to put up in this lovely hotel with a big pool/bar area. After work one night, I go down by myself to the pool area in a modest bathing suit, so everything was covered. I got a drink and am sitting by the pool when my co-workers (names changed) Greg (M), Phil ...

AITA for wearing underwear to sleep

For contexts I am a male who lives with my parents and siblings. I live in the southern part of the US and it is starting to get hot again and as a result I’ve started to go to sleep only wearing a pair of boxers. I’ve done this for most of my life and have never had a problem until this morning. The reason why I might be the a*shole is because today my brother and his girlfriend walked into m...

AITA for banging on my roommates door for her "night activities"

I (F22) am currently attending college, and to cut costs, I moved in with someone (F21). While we get along fine, I wouldn’t really call us friends. We have different lifestyles, but we respect each other's boundaries, for the most part. Her boyfriend basically lives with us. I honestly don’t have a problem with that, he’s chill, keeps the fridge stocked (even if it costs me a few yogurts 😞💔)...

AITA for putting a camera in my bedroom?

I(22M) live in an apartment with my roommate(22M). We are both attending college part-time and get along well with one another. The lease is under my name only, my roommate is not planning on living in the apartment after college. I do work night shift 3 days a week. My hours are 7PM-7:00AM. He sometimes has his girlfriend stay overnight, which is no problem as my boyfriend will stay when he v...

AITA Husband wants to wear extremely revealing swim shorts in public.

So basically: My husband has worked out really hard all year to have a nice body for lake season. We’ve been having fun swimming most weekends at my MIL’s lake house. We live in an extremely conservative, religious, tiny town. My husband has a large p**is. He has bought some new swim trunks that look great on him! But they show his entire p**is. Like the whole length, the ridges, everything. I...

AITA for reading explicit books in public?

So this is not as serious as most posts here, but I am feeling a bit guilty and thought to ask. I(28F) was on the train yesterday, it wasn't busy at all. Since it was a long trip I startes reading a book (on my phone) that has some very very explicit mature scenes. The man sitting beside me was very obviously reading over my shoulder -which I thought was very rude, but I didn't stop him- whe...

AITA for eating cake in my car so I didn't have to share with my wife and kids?

I acknowledge, as a father and husband, that a lot of things that were singularly mine before just aren't. Wife steals my clothes, wife and kids steal my food, kids steal my phone, I'm fine with it (most of the time), but I just needed one thing to myself without hurting feelings and making someone cry because everybody is sensitive in this house....including me. I bought a single-serve piece o...

AITA for getting a single mother fired even though she was nice to me?

For context, I am really into body building and have been going to the gym 3-4 times a week since I was 13 (now 29). There is a personal trainer, Ashley, at my current gym thats also a single mother of two. I mention this as it’s the reason I think I’m probably an a*shole since she clearly needs the job to support her kids. Anyway, I’m not really friends with her, but she’s always really nic...

AITA for making this condition on attending my brother's wedding?

My younger brother Sean is getting married soon, he sent out invitations that included everyone in the family. I found out that he was going by the "no +1 unless engaged or married" rule, I felt confused since I've been in a long term (7 years now) relationship with my girlfriend and I was counting on having her to come with me to the wedding. I asked Sean and fiancee about it and asked if they...

Woman Refuses To Get Rid Of Her Dogs Despite Her Husband’s Love Child Being Allergic

My husband had a one night stand after much counseling I decided to forgive him and work on our marriage. Unfortunately the woman got pr****nt, and they now have a 3-year-old boy. I have two 5-year-old French bulldogs whom I and my two kids with my husband (14f and 9m). Unfortunately being short hair dogs these kind tend to produce the most reaction in those who are allergic. I was fully ...
