AITA for asking my friend to remove a bad picture of me off Facebook?

I had her baby shower last week. Tons of photos were taken. We took several on her phone. I got a notification that she tagged me in a photo and I looked horrendous. Terrible angle, lighting, everything. I am 5 months postpartum and struggling with body image issues badly so this doesn’t help when you see a bad photo of yourself plastered on the internet. <——- THIS is why I’m trying to stay o...

AITA for “blasting” my mom on Facebook when she posted about my son?

So my parents for years had the same cleaning lady, and I was somewhat friendly with her daughter, who’s the same age as me. But it didn’t become a thing until we were 20. I was back home from college for winter break. We got to spend time together, and then I went back to school. Well that “time” we spent together resulted in me getting her pr****nt, only I didn’t know. She didn’t want to tell ...

AITA for moving my brothers Facebook to "In Memory" and hurting my SIL in the process?

My brother suddenly pa*sed away on July 16, 2019, of a heart attack at 38 years old. It was a complete shock, and my poor SIL and her daughter were there when he d*ed. After he d*ed, she logged into his Facebook to message some of his friends to let them know (totally cool; I wouldn't want to find out a friend pa*sed by a Facebook post). She told them she would keep them in the loop for the fune...

AITA for bullying the police into pressing charges against a bunch of kids?

Second, this is my property that I have a mortgage on. It’s not community or city property. This past winter, I had a pool installed at my house. After the pool installation, I had my old fence removed and installed new fences that met with the city code for a residential pool. My new fence is higher than my old one and the gates have approved locks. About a month ago I had to travel for work an...

UPDATE: AITA for calling the police on my fiance?

First of all, thank you to those of you who offered kind words and solid advice. This update is likely to disappoint some of you, as it does me. My fiance and I have been fighting solidly since before I posted my last thread. It's been exhausting. I called her out on her obvious lie and she fumed at how awful I was for calling her a liar. From then on it was as if she was falling down a smooth we...

AITA for calling the police when the parents I babysit for were late?

I (16f) sometimes babysit on weekends. My mom's coworker needed a babysitter, and she gave him my number. I agreed to babysit 3 kids from 2 pm till 8.30 pm because the parents had some party to get to. It went okay. But the parents didn't get back at 8.30. At 9 I tried calling him, but he didn't pick up. I texted a few times. At 9.30 I tried calling again, and again at 10 and 10.30. I tried call...

AITA for calling my son a selfish F@#k?

This morning my wife is having a major surgery due to a b***st cancer diagnosis. We are about 15 minutes from the hospital. Check in was scheduled for 5:30 a.m. Unbeknownst to me, my wife let my 23-year-old son borrow her car last night. My car is out of state because I moved for work, so while I am here, we only have 1 car. We decided to leave at 5 a.m. because she is obviously anxious and do...

AITA for telling my dad, his wife and both their parents to f*ck off and lay off my mom?

My parents divorced when I was 7 because my dad was having an affair with his current wife and had gotten her pr****nt. My life was a mess after. My mom was broken and my dad was really trying to bring me and my sister into this perfect family mold with his wife, but because he did a bad job of keeping me out of it, I knew, and I didn't like either of them for it. I still don't. I think his wi...
