Aitah - bringing real cheese snacks to a baby shower and not warning people about the dairy?

So I (27F) went to my cousin’s baby shower last weekend and offered to bring snacks. I love cooking and wanted to make som**hing special instead of the usual premade grocery store trays and cookies. I made homemade goldfish-style crackers with real sharp cheddar, b**ter, and s**ces(the expensive stuff too). Everyone loved them and were grabbing handfuls up on handfuls.

She stood up and tapp...

AITAH for telling my wife there’s nothing inappropriate about being in the delivery room for my sister and she cannot forbid me from doing it

Last week, my sister asked if I could be in delivery room with her when she gives birth.
