AITA for wanting to bring my cat back into my house after wife's late stillbirth?

My wife and I were expecting a child in October. We are in our early 30's and have been trying for a child for some time - due to character limits I won't get into details, but it has been difficult. In February, we discovered that she was pr****nt! Obviously, we were over the moon with joy. We began to prepare - we did everything you could possibly do to get ready. We planned a baby shower and...

AITA for laughing at my starstruck girlfriend?

Last year, my (22m) girlfriend (23f) won a radio contest to briefly meet and take a photo with one of her favorite kpop groups, NCT. She was super excited since I guess you would call her a superfan. I definitely feel like she's too old to put so much stock in kpop, but I generally don't talk to her about it, since it's pretty harmless, just annoying. She was told that she could bring a plu...

AITA for sleeping over at my gfs 4 nights a week making her roommate uncomfortable and causing her to flip out?

I (24m) and my gf (32f), Liv, have been seeing each other for close to a year. I live in a shared house with 8 men in a tiny 2x2m room, which is why she doesn't sleep at my place, although I save significant rent money there despite the poor conditions. For the past few months, I have been staying at Liv's house four nights a week. Her bed is larger, and I can cook there because my home is con...

Redditor Switches Seats With A Mother And Her Crying Baby To "Teach His Wife A Lesson" After Complaining About It

So my wife and I recently went on a trip together payed for by her dad. He flew us to Hawaii with first cla*s seats. We had a great time. My wife is used to travel while I’m les experienced with plane travel, this was the first time I flew first cla*s. On our way back home, we were sat near the back we’re by the border between us and the “undesirables”. A mother and her baby were one of the fi...

AITA for denying water to a group of women who were supposedly dehydrated as they refused to pay?

A very popular hiking trail actually crosses my (privately owned) land that is nestled inside a national park. I’ve never objected to people crossing our land as I’m an avid hiker and don’t want to deny them enjoying the scenery, though it can get annoying at times when groups of 10+ people litter on my part of the trail. Anyway, a few years ago my daughter decided to set up a small stop to sel...

AITA for calling my 8 year old selfish

I have 3 kids (7, 8, 10) and my sister has 2 (7 and 10). We went on vacation together recently and we took the kids to a zoo that also had a few rides. The kids went on the rides while my sister and I got coffee nearby. We told them to meet us at a certain table when they were done. My 8 year old came to me much earlier than her siblings/cousins. I asked if the rides scared her and she said...

AITA for refusing to meet my wife's ex-boyfriend?

My wife stays in contact with her ex who she dated for 5 years before meeting me. All they do is text each other occasionally, which I have no problem with. I explained to her early on that I am not interested in ever meeting or befriending any of her exes. She agreed and it was never an issue until now. Her ex has moved back to the city where we live and she really wants him and I to meet....

AITA for yelling at my stepfather when he suggested that he could walk me down the aisle?

So, two weeks ago, I (25F) got married to my husband (26M). When I was six years old, my mom and dad got divorced and, three years later, my mom met and married Fred, who had basically been my surrogate dad for all these years because my biological one hasn't been a huge part of my life, and Fred's kids (20M), (18F) and (16M) are basically my siblings. On last minute, my bio-dad decided he didn...

AITA for refusing to eat a "smash cake"?

Yesterday was my nephew's 1st birthday, and my sister and BIL had a little get together at their house. When it was time for cake, they brought out my nephew's "smash cake"—exactly what it sounds, a cake for the baby to smash up and get icing all over themselves for cute pictures or whatever. I kind of imagined that it would be the size of a big cupcake, but they brought out a regular-sized rou...

AITA for asking my daughter to uphold her end of the deal?

Honestly, I don’t even feel that this situation needs to be on Reddit but my daughter, husband and many of my family members are calling me an a*shole and I’m really not sure anymore. Four years ago, when my daughter was 12, she desperately wanted a pool. She said that all of her friends had pools and she was the only one who didn’t have one, plus she loved swimming. She insisted that she w...

AITA for telling off a n**e woman that my kid saw on the way home from school?

I was walking my kid home from school. We are in a pretty nice area so the windows tend to be huge and on ground level. My child is 6. Suddenly she laughed and pointed at one of the houses. Inside there was a completely n**ed woman leaning down to pick som**hing up right in front of the window. We could see everything clear as day. I know the woman, she is one of my wives friends. I laughed ...
