AITA for refusing to let my mother-in-law hold my baby after she told my husband to get a paternity test?

I (28F) gave birth to my first child, a beautiful baby girl, three weeks ago. My husband (30M) and I have been over the moon, but his mother has been causing nonstop drama. She never liked me. From the start, she made snide comments about how I “trapped” her son, even though we’ve been happily married for four years. When I got pr****nt, she constantly joked about how the baby might not be his...

Ent*tled Father Tells A Girl Sitting Next To Him On A Plane To Cover Her Face Because The Scars Are Scaring His Child

I sustained very bad injuries to my face this month. I'm in the stage of healing when the scar tissue has formed, but it's still very tender "new skin". I'm going to have very obvious facial scarring for the rest of my life. The injury starts about an inch above my hairline, goes down over my brow so that on part, hair will not grow. It continues down my cheek where it is deepest; I'll always ...

AITA for threatening to leave my fiancé a week before our wedding because he tried to put his MOM on our house deed and told me to "earn" my place in the family?

I (29F) am supposed to marry my fiancé (31M) in 6 days. We've been together for 7 freaking years. I supported him through his college — working, putting off my own dreams because, y'know, “teamwork.” We always talked about being equals. A power couple. He even said once, drunk off his own fake feminism, that he "loved strong women." Turns out he meant “strong enough to carry his mother on my b...

AITA for demanding to go through my BIL and his GF's bags if they are staying with us

I have a pretty severe dairy allergy; I break out in hives, struggle to breathe, and have to carry two epipens with me everywhere. If I get any dairy in my system, I'll end up in the ER. My In-Laws know this and have been extremely accommodating since my fiancé and I started dating five years ago. When we moved in together two years ago, we set strict rules for our home because of my allergy. ...

AITA for not agreeing to sit and watch an entire TV show with my daughter as a “bonding” thing

My 28 year old daughter Jessica moved back in with me and her father (my husband) 6 months ago. She split with her live-in girlfriend and will save up at home. The one big difference she and I have always had is that she LOVES watching TV. She is always watching som**hing or as she says “doing a rewatch” and all of that. I never really got into TV. Jessica started “doing a rewatch” of a sho...

AITA for screenshotting messages guys sent me and sending them to their mothers?

I'm an 18 year old girl who is in college atm. I've been getting bullied/h***ssed by three guys in my cla*s who have taken to messaging me online with rather gross/h***ssing messages and nsfw pictures that i'm sure you can all fill in the gaps without me going into detail. I should have reported them or just blocked them but I had, had enough so I screenshot every message they'd sent me and fo...

my husband is mad that i did a lingerie photoshoot, aitah?

One of my best friends just became a full-time photographer, and she's been looking for clients. She occasionally does boudoir shoots, and I figured I'd get my husband a surprise s*xy calendar for his birthday. I did the shoot with my friend; it was just me and her. No men were present at any point in the process. She gave me the pics and said they were really good and asked if she could use t...

AITA for telling my sister she was out of her mind when she said she wanted to take back my child whom I adopted from her?

My (36) sister N (29) got pr****nt at 18. I am infertile and knew I couldn't have kids so when N said she was giving her baby for adoption, I decided to be her mom. N went no contact 5 months after giving birth. For a bit of background, N got pr****nt by a one night stand and she apparently didn't remember or know the father at the time of birth but when V was 2, a man T (35) messaged me on so...

AITA for telling MIL and SIL their obsession with hating my name is weird?

My MIL and SIL have this real intense hatred for my name. It's become an obsession to the point they are in groups on different parts of the internet and mock my name, comment on how embarra*sing it is to be a*sociated with me, etc. My FIL is the reason my husband and I know this. He has grabbed screenshots and forwarded them to my husband to show just how bad this is. My name's Dove. I alw...

AITA for allowing two teenagers to be spit on by a llama?

I work at a petting zoo here, and this weekend we had two teenager (around 16, boyfriend and girlfriend) who were antagonizing a llama. I told them "you might want to cut that out! Llamas spit in self-defense." But they kind of laughed my warning off. Now, I knew that llama spit was a whole lot worse than they probably thought it was. But I decided not to tell them about that. I figured if t...

AITA for not disclosing that I am not Christian?

To preface this, I do commissioned artwork, and don’t discriminate against any subject unless it’s r***st, h**ophobic, otherwise hateful, or s*xually disturbing. I did a commissioned art piece with Christian iconography, a beautiful ornate cross, a saint, and scripture in calligraphy. The client was happy with my work, paid me, and then…asked me what my favorite scripture was. I was honest ...

AITA for "announcing" that my dad's not paying my college tuition

My aunt and uncle are paying for my cousins college. My dad had a college fund for me, but he had stipulations like he wanted nothing below a B for grades and to pre approve any cla*ses I take, weekly meetings to discuss grades and a bunch of other stuff. Which would be fine if you have a normal dad. Mine isn't. My dad has a temper and I spent 6th-12th grade stressed out about grades and be...
