AITA for calling my sister for treating her child better then me

My sister at one point in time was working 3 jobs to even be able to prov...

AITA for eating my husband's entire birthday cake by myself?

I'll preface this by saying that my husband's family and I don't get along, like AT ALL. we're rarely ever on good terms and for my mental health I decided to put distance between us. Especially after I was blamed for my most recent miscarriage (that happened 3 months ago). My husband can still see and visit them whenever he wants. For me, I don't attend any of their events not even thanksgivi...

AITA for letting my kids reject hugs and kisses from family?

My two year old son is at an age where everyone wants to touch him and pinch him. My wife and I agreed we wouldn’t force our kids to hug or kiss anyone because we want to teach appropriate physical boundaries and ownership of your body from an early age. Recently my grandmother visited and when she was leaving my sister directed my son to “give Grammy a kiss goodbye” and he said “don’t want ...

AITA for walking out of my own birthday.

So my birthday was three days ago. Mum asked last month my plans for it and I said that I would love for me mum, dad, and brother to go to a nice restaurant and have dinner. She agreed and thought it was a great idea. I made a point of saying that all I want is us to celebrate my birthday and I do not want anyone else to join us. I get a text from my mum to tell me to get to her place at 5 (...

AITA for asking my sister to cover up when she leaves the bedroom?

I 25f and my Husband 27 have a home together with our 4 year old. My sister Julia20 lives with us because we live close to her college. She has her own room. Julia likes to leave the bedroom in a big shirt and underwear, or just a robe, or walk around the house in her sports bra, booty shorts. I’ve mentioned to her nicely to change before but she keeps doing it. The other night she did it a...

AITA for showing the kids what their dad did?

My husband was staying at the hospital for some health issues. After he got out he started wetting the bed every few nights, we talked to the doctor about it and they gave us meds but they take time so they suggested that my husband use adult diapers temporarily. He said no, and since he's too sick to do anything then I'm the one having to clean up every time. I grew tired of it. He just ke...

Mom Cancels 4-Day Vacation After Less Than 24 Hours To Punish Her Kids' Behavior

My husband and I have 3 kids, 9M, 8M, and 3F. The boys have been driving us crazy. They fight like cats and dogs. We’ve had countless talks with them about respecting each other, to no avail. I understand sibling rivalry but it’s gotten to the point it’s disruptive to us all, every day. I already told my husband last week I wasn’t sure if the vacation was a good idea. My husband shut me dow...

AITA for sending my daughter to school in her pyjamas?

My 7 year old daughter (Elsie) has recently started to make mornings more difficult by throwing a fit when we ask her to get dressed for school. We’ve tried setting her clothes out the night before but she still makes an issue out of it, and she doesn’t want to sleep in her clothes so that’s not an option either. my wife leaves for work before me, so I’m normally the one who has to deal with t...

AITA For begging my boyfriend not to being Heinz Ketchup to Omakase?

I consider myself a "food*e" but my boyfriend Jay is the exact opposite. Like he'll literally eat but it's more than that — he always starts things with me when I try to take him out for good food. For example last year I got us reservations at a steak house and he made a point of ordering his steak well done with ketchup. The thing is he doesn't even like eating the food this way he does it t...

AITA for telling my child’s daycare teacher that my child won’t finish cleaning up?

My 2 year old daughter has been in a home daycare for a few months now. The teacher, Sasha, is very nice. I am normally all for my daughter cleaning her own messes. However, I find when I arrive, Sasha expects my daughter to finish cleaning up whatever she was playing with. Which again would be fine, but it delays us getting out the door and heading home, sometimes we have plans, etc. I sta...

AITA for asking someone with an invisible disability to move seats?

Myself (28M) and my partner (31F) were recently riding the underground. My partner is 8 months pr****nt and looks heavily pr****nt too, no one could mistake her for being any different. She’s not particularly mobile either now and we’ve taken to riding the underground more, even for shorter journeys just to allow her to rest more frequently when we are out and about. We jumped on the Circle...
