AITA for refusing to help with housework because it's my wife's job?

For context, my wife (25F) and I (27M) have been married for 3 years. We have a 2 year old daughter and live in a 2 bedroom apartment, which isn't very big. Outside of this argument we have a solid relationship and I love her very much. Ever since our daughter was born my wife has decided to be a stay at home mom until she starts kindergarten. While surviving without her paycheck is very diffic...

AITA for leaving my toddler with my 'childfree' sister for a few minutes, resulting in a trip to the emergency room?

I (18f) have a 2 year old daughter who lives with me and her father (18m), but spends two daytimes a week with my mom so that I can run errands (such as going to the doctors, doing the food shopping, cleaning the house, etc) and because my mom loves to spend time with my daughter. My 27 year old sister was visiting my mom's house for the week from out of town. My sister and I have never really go...

AITA for walking around in my underwear when my brother & SiL stay with me?

I (24 F) am an ICU RN working with patients suffering from a wide variety of communicable diseases (MRSA, C-Diff, COVID, ect.). It’s inevitable that some germs get on my clothes so I take off my scrubs the minute I get in the house. I come in through a laundry room, take off my clothes down to bra and underwear, and put the scrubs directly in the washing machine. This week my brother (30 M)...

AITA for calling my fiance delusional and not letting him punish my son?

My fiance (40m) and I (36f) have been together for 2 years. I have 3 kids from my former marriage (7), (11), & (14). My fiance loves them and treats them as his own but he constantly complains about certain behaviors and says that the kids lack "some forms of descipline". I never understood what he meant but mind you he's a teacher and can take this whole descpline thing a bit far. I noticed t...

AITAH for telling my wife to stop crying about missing out on our daughter’s wedding?

As the t*tle says. My wife (53f) and I (55m) have three children. Brett (27m) Amy (25f) and Lynn (24f). Now let me say, I love all my children in their own way. But no child has ever given me a headache like Lynn. She’s our wild child. Got a college degree at 16, began working and saving up, moved to Louisiana once she turned 18, got more college degrees and lives a pretty nice life. I’m proud...

AITA for taking my clothes off at the Cheesecake Factory?

So me [23F] and my bf [24M] were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and went out to dinner to celebrate. My bf planned it as he knows how much I love the Cheesecake Factory. I REALLY love their cheesecake (this becomes important later). Well everything was going fine and we were having a good time until an elderly man at the next table scooted his chair out just as our server was approaching, c...

AITA: I offered to pay for my kids' educations as long as they agreed to my conditions. Now one of my kids owes over 50k and is mad at me.

I have twin sons. Four years ago, shortly before they graduated from high school, I sat them down and told them that I'm more than happy to completely pay for their educations so they wouldn't need to take out loans. However, I let them know that my financial support was conditional. In order to get my financial support, my sons had to agree to the following: 1. They could not join a frater...

AITA for asking my neighbour to move her craft room to a different bedroom

My husband and I live in an upstairs 3 bedroom flat and the flat below us is the same lay out. The house has been for sale for awhile and recently a woman bought it. It turns out she doesn't have any children so I found it strange she bought a 3 bedroom house but I soon found out it's because she runs a craft business from home and needs 2 bedrooms to run it. The problem is unfortunately she h...

AITA for telling my mom she only has one kid?

My parents divorced when my sister (20f) and I (19m) were 5 and 6 years old. She met her husband three years later. He was a widower with a 7 month old son (I think he was 7 months old when they met). She instantly moved them in and started claiming his son as her own and raising him like us. She got engaged to him and a few weeks before the wedding our dad d*ed. By this point my mom had just ...

AITA for calling my best friend d**b for "marrying for love"?

I (27f) am in a very s**ble relationship with my fiancée (29f) for around 4 years and we are planning to get engaged eventually and then marry. My best friend Chrissy (fake name and also 27f) has been with her own fiancé since they were 20. They only got engaged this year and it was kinda weird how it took him so long to propose since he seemed to be financially s**ble and all. Throughout t...

AITA for taking back the birthday gift I gave my sister?

So, I’m 24M. My little sister is 14 and has always been interested in art. I moved an hour and a half away when I was 18 and we don’t see each other often, but I make a point to call/text. It was her birthday yesterday and I thought I’d splurge since she’s been going through a rough time. She’s changed schools twice due to bullying and our mom always tells me that she won’t talk to anyone, is h...
