AITA for kicking my mom out of my house because of how she reacted to her partner not liking my wife's chili?

My mom and I have just come off of a 3 year estrangement. Her and my wife hated each other from day one, just really clashed and my mom was going through some stuff in her personal life and acting out. We mutually agreed it wasn't fixable and we should go our separate ways. I recently reconnected with her at a party and told her that I wanted to try and fix things. My wife supported this. M...

AITA for calling my stepsister the "ugly stepsister" because she freaked out over a nickname?

My (F29) family jokingly refers to me as “Princess/The Princess”, because I have a reputation for being opinionated and sensitive. This is mostly because of sensory issues, so certain noises or textures grate on me to an extent that I will leave the room or avoid touching things. I’m also just a picky person and I like things how I like them. So my stepdad started referring to me as the Prince...

AITA for refusing to pay for her hotel room??

I rent out the spare bedroom in my house for $800 a month (market rate in my area). I don't know my roommate very well, but we work for the same company. I work early mornings and she works late evenings. So we're often ships pa*sing in the night. On Friday my hot water heater broke. The home warranty guys said they couldn't get anyone out until Monday morning. It's hot as balls right now, ...

AITA for saying no to my In Laws taking our kids to Disney?

My (M28) wife (F28) and I have two daughters, 6 & 5 years old, which is prime Disney age. They’re both super into princesses and all that. We’ve talked about taking them to Disney over the next few years as we know they’d love it. My wife has never been before, and I’ve only been once- when I was 10 years old. It was definitely a memorable trip for me as my family had to save up a while for it...

AITA for refusing to drop my ex-husband's last name?

My ex-husband (who I'll call him by his fake name Tony) and I broke up 2 years ago after 26 years of marriage. We have four children together. Due to the s***idity of the time and social pressure, I added my husband's last name to my name. So all my documents like identification, driver's license, pa*sport, all credit cards, voter registration card have his last name at the end. We ended ami...

AITA for “kicking” a girl out of our friend group?

Alright Reddit. I’ve been getting so much s**t for this that I decided to get a judgement on here. I feel like I’ve seen a post similar to this before but the judgement was split so I guess we’ll see. So I (26M) have a long standing friend group. Most of us having been friends since HS. This girl named Zoe (25F) has been part of the group since college. We’ve hung out plenty of times. But I...

I (M40) have full custody of my daughter(F12). Her mom only has once a month visitations. Recently she has been acting up and insisting on living with her mom because she thinks I'm a bad dad. I knew she couldn't live with her mom because her mom is a terrible mom. I know it because I've seen the way she treats her other kids which is why I tried so hard to get full custody. Also my daught...

AITA for declining to participate in a "meal train" for a woman with an able bod*ed husband and adult son living with her?

So some lad*es in our church occasionally send out invites for "meal trains" for people to sign up to bring meals for someone who recently had a baby or is sick or som**hing like that. I get it. It's a nice idea to help people out. I have no problem and have participated sometimes in the past. Last week a meal train was posted for a lady named "Sue" (name changed obviously) who apparently h...
