AITA for telling my mum to f*ck off and refusing to have my sisters kids at my wedding, despite my daughter being there?

I'm (28f) due to marry my fiancé Dean (30m) in a month. We’ve been together for 11 years and have a girl Ella(5). Important info, Ella has autism, high functioning. She’s incredibly quiet, keeps to herself, very polite and acts more mature than some adults I know. Obviously we want her there, she just wants to go as a guest, thats fine. She is the only child under 16 allowed at our wedding. ...

AITA for telling my brother-in-law to go f**k himself at Christmas

My wife and her sister are very close, but dissimilar in major ways. My wife isn’t materialistic, but my SIL is one of the most materialistic people I’ve ever met and majorly suffers from “keeping up with the Jones Syndrome.” This type of keeping up with the Jones’s behavior really unsettles my wife and her mom, but they rarely call it out because my SIL gets extremely defensive and acts like a vi...

AITA for telling my Dad and his family to f*ck off after telling me they're proud of me?

Ok I know the t*tle sounds terrible but hear me out, please. I (18f) will be blunt here. I've always been the "ba***rd child," not because of anything I did. I was just born to teenage parents who never got married. Honestly, it's probably a good thing they didn't, as I was the product of my dad losing his virginity from a ONS, and they hate each other. My dad's family are all from the south an...

AITA for telling my MIL I want to f**k her son?

So my (28f) husband (31m) had to spend two months in a different state for work. He came back 9 days ago. I am obviously thrilled he’s back and I’ve missed him a lot. I was hoping we would be able to spend some time together just the two of us. However his mom (56f) came over when he was supposed to come home. I was slightly annoyed but I know she was just excited for her son to be back. Howev...

AITA for telling an elderly woman and her son to f*ck off and pound sand?

I (35M) am a disabled veteran. I don't advertise I am one, but I do have my state's DV plates that allow me to park in handicapped spaces. They performed a transfemoral amputation in '06 due to combat-related injuries. So I have an endoskeletal prosthesis. You, however, wouldn't know it was there unless I rolled my pant leg up. You especially wouldn't know from looking at me from the waist up. I...

AITA for going to my friends house when my wife told me to f*ck off?

I (28M) and my wife (27F) are expecting. She's 7 months pr****nt. Since she's been pr****nt she has been getting onto me for small things, like if I don’t make dinner for her or if I cook her the wrong thing. Before she was pr****nt she was never like this, she was always very sweet. Yesterday my wife came back from her parent's house, and I made homemade pizza for us. She told me she didn’t wa...

AITA for telling my step mom to f*ck off, and that she's not allowed to parent me?

I (17F) have a step-mom (48F) who married my dad around a year after my mom pa*sed away 3 years ago. When my mom d*ed, my dad never left his room, he barely spoke to me except for the occasional good morning. He ended up losing his job. I had to clean, cook, and take on odd jobs mowing people’s lawns or babysitting while in school. I tried to get him to go to therapy. He never spoke about my mom...

I was so excited since I haven’t seen her in so long. She started a group chat with all the mutuals she invited. She did disclose that this was gonna be a quick and small one since she had just found out she was...

My Parents Refuse To Let My Daughter Use Their Trampoline Because It Is For My Nephews

My husband and I are slightly more well off than my sister’s family. Because of this, my parents do more for them than they do us. When it comes to gifts, my daughter (Madd*e, 7) gets things from the dollar store while my nephews get whole Lego sets, iPads, and even Disney trips. If my sister needs babysitting, they will drop everything for her last minute. If I need it, I have to give them a tw...

My Brother-In-Law Called CPS On Me Just To Steal My Kids After My Husband Pa*sed Away

I F33 lost my husband in an accident, and he pa*sed away shortly after he arrived at the hospital. We have two girls, who are 9 and 5, and it's been very devastating and very difficult to be taking care of them while going through these tough times. My mom would help a lot, and I'm so thankful for that. My in-laws have been keeping to themselves, but my brother-in-law would visit often to see the...

But hear me out, my job demands me to attend different time zones so some night I am having meetings very late, I didn’t want to disturb his sleep -I am light sleeper myself- It ...

I’m (27F) an Indian American woman. I was born and raised in America. A large majority of my childhood friends are Indian and I love to catch up with them.
