AITA for refusing to help roommate's girlfriend feel less triggered over my d*et

I'm 27F, I see a doctor, nutritionists, and psychiatrist. I live mostly off of smoothies and really soft foods, but am monitoring it and have been told I'm healthy. And I feel great. I get really sick with solid, heavy foods. My roommate is dating a woman we'll call Rita. Rita is overweight and always following people into the kitchen. Usually just stares at them. Everytime she sees me maki...

AITA for serving my sister's husband dinner using toy utensils?

I, m17, moved in with your sister after my parents kicked me out for coming out (another story). They said I'll be here temporarily till I get back to "normal" which I don't think I will, lol. But uh...anyways, so I moved in with my sister and her husband about a month ago. FYI she does everything around the house (I started helping here and there) as well as looking after a 2 year old niece a...

AITAH for being upset about a diaper change at a restaurant?

I was eating at my favorite local restaurant when I started smelling a foul smell. I looked over and a lady was changing her baby's diaper at the booth next to me. I was so upset that I told her that's foul. She went off on me. She even called me a dips**t. She went on this long rant about how the bathroom didn't have a changing table and she wasn't going to put her child on the p**s filled ba...

He also threw that all away on P...

AITA for refusing to babysit my BFs niece during my vacation?

I am currently visiting my bf while he is on a long term work trip. I arrived Sat**day and I’m staying for a week and a half. This first weekend was uneventful because he was feeling very sick. I stayed in all day Sat**day and helped clean up his place and paid attention to him. On Sunday he felt well enough to go out and play football for 4 1/2 hours. I watched him for the first hour before w...

Her babysitter quit unexpectedly, and she and her husband both have work commitments during the week I’m supposed...

Yesterday my mom and I went out to a restaurant to get some dinner. We haven't been out to eat since pre-pandemic so this was a treat for us.

AITA for telling my sister why I'm acting cold during family dinner that was thrown in MY honour after she made it about herself?

I (25F) am the middle child in our family of 3 siblings (Alison -28F; Jake - 22M). Sadly I am the stereotypical unseen middle child while Alison is the golden daughter. She literally cannot do anything wrong based on my parents' opinion. I opened up a new bakery in our town. My mom invites the whole family for dinner once in a while and this time she said the dinner was in my honour, to celebra...

Shawn's best friend since they were little has been Frankie. About seven years ago, Frankie's father had a stroke. He was left severely disabled and Frankie's mother Beth is now the sole earner for...

When my wife learned she was pr****nt she decided to wait to tell me so she could surprise me. By the time she told me she had told her friends and family. Her family took me finding out after everyone else as he...
