AITA for telling my GF I do not want her sterilising her menstrual cup in our kettle?

My GF and I have been together for nearly 2 years now. We get along great and already have moved in with each other. I am a pretty laid back guy and like to "go with the flow", whilst she is very organised and likes to take charge, which works very well for us because we are always pulling in the same direction because our personalities match up well! A couple of months or so ago we were having...

AITA for telling my daughter she could learn som**hing from my friend's daughter, who got a job she didn't?

My best friend, Tom's daughter Kate is an architecture major. She got accepted to a college in California and graduated with good results. My daughter Anne also went into architecture and she's doing well. Anne is generally a quieter person and she does tend to laze around a bit. Both Anne and Kate applied for a job at the same firm, which is co-owned by Tom's brother. She didn't end up get...

AITA for ruining my childs gender reveal?

Myself (27M) and my wife (27F) are having a boy, we already have a girl who is now 2.

Husband Told Our Family He Hopes Our Baby Doesn't Look Like Me and Called Me A Baby

I f25 married my husband m31 3 years ago. I'm currently pr****nt with our first baby together. We found out it's a girl and my inlaws wanted to invite us for dinner for "gender reveal announcement and celebration". We got there, saw many relatives coming to congrat us and celebrate. It was bigger than expected which made me nervous because I'm not a fan of being around many people. We sat at...

AITA for not wanting to be involved with a child I helped conceive?

I got pr****nt in high school, when I was 17 (I am just turning 30 now). I wanted an abortion and my boyfriend begged, begged, begged, guilted, begged me to carry the fetus to term and that he would raise the baby himself. He involved his parents, who involved my parents, and since my parents were against abortion, they agreed on my behalf that this is what would happen. I was naive at the ...

AITA for calling my student "student" because he refuses to stop calling me "Professor"?

I’m a college professor. My name isn’t hard to pronounce, neither is my last name. I tell students they can call me “Jane” (obviously not my first name) or “Mrs. Smith” (again, fake last name for the sake of this). I just do not want to be called “Professor” or “Miss”. This semester, I have a student who will say “Professor” every time he wants to get my attention. I told him the first few ...

AITA for leaving when my mom told me to move my car so her neighbor’s daughter can park in her driveway?

Some backstory: my mom has always wanted a daughter. Instead she ended up with 2 sons and 6 grandsons. 16 years ago, a young woman with a 2 year old daughter (let’s call the daughter Lily) moved across the street from her. She was a single mom and didn’t have any family in the area so my mom offered to help take care of the little girl while her mom worked/stud*ed. Over the years, she’s beco...

AITA for getting into a dispute with the daycare staff over my child's nap schedule?

I'm a working parent who values the importance of a consistent sleep schedule for my child. I've always been specific with the daycare staff about my child's nap schedule and needs and it's important for her health and happiness to have a consistent routine. My child (let's call her Emma) has been attending the same daycare for a few months now. I noticed that her nap schedule was being disrupt...

I told my date he lacked judgment for having a toddler at 54 and he lost it

I (51F) recently went on a date with a 54M. I knew he had two kids. While we were eating he tells me their ages: 32F and 3M. That's a deal breaker to me. At my age with grown kids (25M and 26F), the last thing I want to be bothered with is a man with a toddler and all the potential drama. The mom is 30. I went on with the date because I was having fun. When it was over, I had every intentio...

AITA for feeding my vegan nephew meat?

My sister has been vegan for many years and she is also raising her son vegan. He has been vegan since birth. My nephew and son attend the same school so I pick them up from school everyday. My nephew has snacks + dinner at my house every weekday before his mom comes to pick him up. I usually make a dish for my family and a separate vegan dish for my nephew. A couple of months ago I left th...

AITA for asking my sister WTF she expected to happen at her s**tshow of a bachelorette party?

For some reason my (F32) sister (23) and her fiance (25) decided that the very best way to celebrate before getting married was to have a joint bachelor/bachelorette party. At strip clubs. They also hired a bus limo for the evening. The aftermath was, thus far, three breakups, four people dropping out of the wedding party, one impending divorce, and one arrest. The cleaning bill for the limo w...
