AITA for refusing to stop seeing my granddaughter dispite my son's wishes

My son(40) is what people call a "lad*es man". I had no problem with it until last year when he got a girl (20) pr****nt because he said that condoms don't work for him so they had unprotected s*x. When he found out about the baby he blocked the mom and ghosted her for a month. He came to tell me about it one his baby's mom reached out again saying that he didn't have to care for the baby, but...

AITA for not wanting my flat to be "k**k-friendly" and potentially getting my flatmates evicted.

So I'm 20(M) and have just moved in with three people at uni: Sarah, Joey, and Mich**le. Sarah and Joey are dating and part of a fairly sizeable f***sh community locally; they go to a lot of gatherings and are generally quite openly k**ky. We moved in together for the upcoming year, and all was going pretty well until two days ago. I came home and Mich**le immediately pulled me into her room t...

I told my sister's husband she was trying to get pr****nt behind his back and ruined their marriage. AITA?

33F. I come from a family where I’m the oldest of 3 sisters. I’m also a wife and momma to a rambunctious 5yr old girl. My youngest sister Emily (27F) has always wanted kids, but when she married her husband Toby (30M), informed they did not plan on having children. I was put off, but thought it was a decision they made as a couple. A few weeks ago, I met Emily for our monthly girl’s night o...

AITA for walking out in the middle of my husband's birthday dinner

My husband (30M) and I (27F) have been together for 3 years and married for 5 months. Our relationship has been without any problems until the week before our wedding. My husband was very close friends with a woman (Let’s call her Ava) that he has known since they were soph**ores in high school. I never had a problem with Ava, I thought it was very obvious that she and my husband are just frien...

I Got High So My In-Laws Had To Watch Their Own Kids For Once

I live in British Columbia and my family often hosts at our home because we live on a lake. However I seem to always get roped into watching the kids. Which means I don't get to enjoy my life when we have guests. My husband will drink beer with his brother and dad and my MIL and SIL will go on winery visits and I end up at the house responsible for my nieces and nephews. So last weekend I...

AITA for revealing my “sister’s” truth to a family member that made everyone lose their s**t on my parents and her?

She (40f) has been ignoring me (21M) for 5 months since finding out. That ”Grace” is not my sister. She’s my biological mom and after finding this out my whole life’s been a f**king mess. My “parents” pretended to be my parents because from what they told me it was better that way for everyone since Grace wasn’t ready to be a mom. I’ve been wanting to hear her side ever since but she decide...

AITA for not telling my girlfriend I speak Russian (her native language)?

My girlfriend is from Russia and I self taught myself russian and I later lived in Ukraine for a bit so I basically speak almost perfect Russian. I started dating Diana 4 weeks ago. The relationship was pretty good and I never felt the need to speak to her in english as her English is good and I figured that if she doesnt know I know russian perhaps I can see if she's actually loyal or if she'l...

AITA for being a "Karen" about my car being "fixed"?

My car was shaking when I braked from high sp*eds. My dad suggested it was the rotors, and I believed him, but I took the car to the dealer who offered free diagnostics. My dad was correct; the rotors needed work. A friend had recently replaced the brake pads, but not the rotors. The dealer quoted $650 to shave all four rotors and include a synthetic oil change (about $90 for the oil). I ag...

AITA for telling my MIL about my "Energy D*et" and saying it's the reason why I don't come to her weekly family dinners anymore?

So my f33 MIL has a tradition, and that's hosting weekly family dinners at her house where everyone visits. In every dinner she hosts she'd find a way to comment about my hair, body, job, age, and worst of all my infertility. It upsets me, makes me feel uncomfortable and puts me on the spot. MIL says she's just looking out for me and my husband thinks I'm being too sensitive. During "my" la...
