AITA for being upset with my son for finding a job without telling me?

My son is 18, He is going to be attending community college and is living with me, my husband and his 2 younger half sisters. The other day I found out that he found and accepted a job without telling me. I was upset with him about it and the reason for that is that first of all, he should've told me since we live in the same house and also, and more importantly now I'm left without someone to ...

Guy Called Me A Heartless Judge Because I Refused To Date A Man With Two Kids

I (19F) recently went on a date with a guy, Ben (25M), after meeting through mutual friends. He was nice enough at first but I found out he has two kids. One is 7M, which means he became a dad at 18 with a 19 year old and the other is 2M. I’ve always known I don’t want to date someone with kids. There was nothing wrong with him as a person but I just couldn’t see myself in that situation long-t...

AITAH for letting my boyfriend get a taste of his own medicine?

My (29F) boyfriend (27M) has this habit of constantly calling me "d**b" or "s***id". It started as a joke, and at first, I laughed along. But over time, it became his go-to way of addressing me, no matter the situation. I asked him, begged him to stop, especially in front of his friends, but he would just chuckle and say, "What? But you are d**b." His friends even picked it up, and now they ca...

AITA for insisting my son be the flower boy?

I am getting married in July (:D!) and wedding planning is in full swing. My wife to be and I are on the same page about almost everything, except for this one thing. My son wants to be the flower boy, and I want him to be too. My fiance says that a flower girl is traditional and that it would be weird to have a flower boy. She says her family will be uncomfortable. She says that he should be t...

AITA for telling my son he has to go to university, get a job, or get out?

My wife and I have three children. They are 17, 15, and 10. My oldest has no intention to do anything after high school. At least none he has made clear to us. So I gave him the same ultimatum my parents gave me. Either go to university, get a job, or GTFO. I chose to travel the world for two years. I had a lot of sailing experience and my father had a lot of friends in that community so I was ...

AITAH for breaking up with and kicking my girlfriend out because she went to an afterparty without me?

I [24m] and my girlfriend [23f, Anne] began dating in college. Last week, Anne invited me to her co-worker’s (Joe) party. I had heard a lot about him in the past, and he and she really seemed to have a lot in common, especially with their taste in music. Apparently he was an amateur musician with a fairly successful YouTube channel. Joe initially invited only Anne, but when she asked him if I ...

Husband Said He Would Demand a Paternity Test If Our Baby Didn't Look Like Him

My husband and I were talking about a coworker who has the appearance of being of a different race, who insisted that both his parents were white. I said to my husband that it's possible for genes far back in the family tree to resurface and cause a different looking child. I told him even he and I could have a child that doesn't look like us. He said if we had a baby like that, he'd get a pate...

AITA for making our daughter (17f) clean our horse's stalls against her will?

We recently got 2 horses. My younger daughter (13f) wanted them as she's been learning to ride. My older daughter (17f) was against them, she's much more "princessy" and didn't want to deal with the mess and ch**es that come with horses, but we told her it wouldn't be som**hing she'd have to deal with and that her younger sister promised to take care of all of it. Well, recently the older da...

AITA for letting my date pay for dinner?

I [19M] asked a girl [18F] out to dinner. When it was time to pay, she said "I got it" and went into her purse. At that point I literally had the receipt thing in my hand. I thanked her and handed it to her. She hesitated a bit, but she paid and we went home happy (or so I thought). So from my perspective I really can't see what I did wrong here. From asking her out until receiving the chec...

AITA for telling my wife I wont/can't watch our son?

I have a good job, I make good money and I work hard enough to earn it. To the point that about 4 years ago after our son was born when my wife decided not to go back to work I became the only source of income. This worked out well and everyone was happy until COVID hit. Once the pandemic started causing shut downs my role was transitioned from in an office downtown to working from home. I was ...

AITA for pouring my boyfriend's raw milk down the drain because I found out it's dangerous?

So I recently found out that my boyfriend has been buying and drinking raw (unpasteurized) milk. He grew up on a farm and apparently his family always drank it straight from the cow, and he's been doing the same ever since we moved in together. At first I didn’t think much of it (being a vegan I never drank it myself) but I started doing some research after I saw the label on it literally says ...
