AITA for grounding my daughter and canceling her senior trip after I found out she was cheating on her boyfriend? 

I have two daughters, Lizzie (17 F) and McKenzie (14 F). Their dad and I divorced a few years ago after I discovered he was having an affair. I have the kids most of the time, and their dad has them every weekend and during the summers. Lizzie has been dating Jacob (18 M) for over a year now. Jacob is constantly at our house. He’s a sweet, good young man, and I believe he’ll be valedictorian of...

AITA Dog owner said “you’ll be alright” to me.

I was shopping at the Lowes closest to me. I'm attempting a DIY plumbing repair and was looking for some items I needed. I started out alone in the aisle and I was focused on finding a part I needed that I didn't notice the yellow lab and owner enter the aisle. The dog sniffed me and I jumped a mile high. I was spooked AF. I turn to the owner and I say what the h**l. He tells me "you'll be ...

AITA for getting upset with my best friend's son for giving my son cake?

My son is 8 years old and recently attended his friend's 8th birthday party. This friend is my best friend's son. I don't let my son have any/much junk food at all and usually he brings his own snacks (for this incident it was carrot sticks and ranch) to events that have a lot of sugary foods. My best friend bakes a lot, and made a special chocolate cake for her son's birthday. When it comes to...

AITA for telling my daughter I won’t be paying for her college unless she attempts a relationship with my family?

I (38M) have a 19 year old daughter Ariel with my ex-wife Lauren (39F). We had Ariel too young, and it was a huge struggle. We moved into Lauren’s family’s. I was working multiple jobs. Me and Lauren were best friends thru all this. But things ended when Ariel was 2. Lauren’s friend Tori (38F) told me that Lauren had been messaging guys and when they went out she would give out her number. ...

AITA for my husbands aunts tree being cut down?

My husband rented his aunt's home before we got married. He signed a month-to-month lease when he moved in. I moved in with him after our marriage because the rent was super cheap. My parents recently came to me asking if they could park their RV at our home. I didn’t see a problem with this. Our yards are really big and there is space. Because of city ordinance the RV has to be parked in the b...

My parents are blaming me for my brother's su***de attempt because I refused to forgive his betrayal

I (27m) haven't spoken or seen my brother "Kevin" in 5 years. I barely speak to our parents or anyone in the family. When I was 22 and Kevin was 25, I found out that my girlfriend of 3 years was having an affair with Kevin. I broke up with her and moved back into my parents place, showing my parents the proof of the affair. After a month of ignoring Kevin's attempt to reach out and being co...

AITA for telling my wife that I would be perfectly capable of doing what she does.

I (30M) have a wife (30F) and a daughter (7F). I work in finance and my wife is a stay at home mom as I earn sufficient for the both of us. My wife is a great SAHM and takes great care of our house. I was lucky to buy a home as I earn well in a medium cost of living city. I love my wife but she finds it humorous to say that I am incapable of doing household tasks. We had agreed that she would ...

AITA for kicking my friend out the car?

Earlier today, I was driving my friends back home after we worked out. We pa*sed these two girls walking and one of my friends rolls down his window and says "I like how those t****** jiggle, how about you give the boys a flash." I instantly got angry when he said that. I pulled around the corner and told him to get out. He thought I was joking but I wasn't and he started arguing. He was sa...

AITA for telling my husband that I no longer want my Christmas Gift?

For the past few years I’ve wanted a very specific item. It’s about $500.00. I don’t like spending that much money on myself and this isn’t necessary to the household so I never bought it. It would just be som**hing to display, like an art piece (going to leave out exactly what it is because it would be identifying). This year my husband announced he was getting it for me for Christmas. Whi...

AITA for Losing It When My Husband Gave His Mom $5K Without Telling Me While I’m Budgeting for Diapers?

My husband (35M) and I (31F) have been married for four years. We’re not broke, but we’re definitely not swimming in extra cash either. We have a one-year-old, daycare costs that feel like a second mortgage, and I’ve been budgeting down to the last cent, cu***ng coupons, meal planning, putting off things I need, just to make sure everything stretches far enough. And this has always been a bit o...

AITA for not giving my niece the porcelain doll my mother left for her?

My niece Jay(10F) was the only Granddaughter when my mother d*ed in 2020. When she d*ed, she wanted my niece to have her porcelain doll collection which had around 6 dolls.

Well, when my mother d*ed I (29F) decided to keep ONE doll, I know it wasn...
