AITA for making my girlfriend's son give me his gambling winnings?

I (44m) have been with my girlfriend (40f) for several years now. She has one child--a son who recently turned 18. He and I get along really well, at least for the most part. But recently he and I had our first blowout fight and I'm wondering if I was wrong. What happened was that we were returning home from a summer trip. My girlfriend decided that we should stop at a casino near the border of...

AITA for smoking w**d on my deck?

I (m24) live next to this couple with two kids. My deck is pretty close to their backyard and it’s started to become an issue. I sometimes smoke w**d after I get home from work to unwind and to deal with some anxiety. My neighbors have started to complain to me about it. A month ago the husband knocked on my door and told me to stop doing it on my deck. I told him it’s quite literally the o...

AITA for wearing white to my wedding?

I recently got married to the love of my life, J. We had a perfect wedding, except for one thing, my MIL's freakout when she saw my dress. When we had gone dress shopping, I invited her and I found my perfect dress. My husbands family has a tradition of always wearing blush dresses on their wedding day. They told me about this before, and I respectfully said I would wear whatever color dress my...

AITA for asking for the gift receipt to return offensive baby clothes?

Yesterday we had a baby shower. Long story short, one of our family friends thought it would be funny to get some baby onesies with offensive things written on them. For example: * "All daddy wanted was a blow job" * "I'm with the milf" * "To-do list: Eat, p**p, suck some t*tties" There were like 2 more but I don't remember what they said. When I opened the gift I was humiliated, I thoug...

AITA for lighting a match at night and “scaring” my boyfriend’s dad so badly he woke up the whole house?

My boyfriend and I are staying at his parents’ house. It’s been going really well, but his dad is very particular. He has moments every day where he corrects or instructs the other people in the house on how he wants us to behave. I don’t really have a problem with it, but he has a few rules that do make me a little uncomfortable. I don’t need to get into why, but I always get di****ea here...

AITA for refusing to forgive my Dad for breaking our deal?

When I (17 M) was 8, my parents bought me a piano and signed me up for lessons. I was super excited because I love music. Over time I kind of became known as the 'piano guy' at school. I play at school concerts, accompany the school jazz choir, and play once a week for the residents at a couple of retirement homes in our town. When I was 15, I started to talk about quitting lessons, and my ...

AITA for removing my baby's earrings immediately after my wife pierced them?

My wife and I have a two month old daughter, Alicia. We've been having the piercing debate since before she was born. She comes from a culture where it's the normal thing, but I'm just not comfortable with a painful process like that and would prefer to wait until she's older so she can choose whether to go through that for herself. While we still hadn't made a decision, my wife went for a day ...

Me (50sM) My daughter (32/f) My son (27/m) I love my kids equally. My daughter lives at home rent free, which has allowed her to pursue her pa*sion.

He has a college degree, but he and his girlfriend have chosen to pursue a more nomadic lifestyle. He supports them (gf doesn’t work) and d...
