AITA for telling my mother that she can pay for my daughters funeral since she's so concerned about it?

My daughter d*ed 8 weeks ago from SIDS. She was 6 days old and as you can imagine, it devastated the entire family. I've been planning her funeral but even for a baby, its quite expensive. My mother has been hounding me about "getting it over and done with" because in her culture, peoples funeral happens a few days after their death. I've been saving for the past few weeks to give my baby the f...

AITA for banning my kids from my in-laws house because they keep forcing their religion on them?

I was born in Saudi Arabia. I escaped by convincing my parents I just wanted to visit family in Canada, and the moment I got the chance I sneaked out of my uncle's house and went straight to a women's shelter. They helped me apply for asylum. I am now a proud citizen of the Great White North, I even got a maple leaf tattoo the day after the paperwork was complete. I'll never forget the first t...

AITA for refusing to pay for my friend's dinner after he changed his order last-minute?

So, I (27M) invited my friend (28M) to dinner at a nicer restaurant last weekend. We were both in the mood for som**hing a little more upscale, but I still wanted to keep it relatively affordable. We talked about it beforehand, and I suggested a couple of places that weren’t too pricey, and my friend seemed on board. When we got there, we both ordered dishes that were reasonably priced. I w...

AITAH for refusing to care for my aging mother after everything she put me through growing up?

My mother (60F) was never what you’d call nurturing. Growing up, I was the “difficult” child at least, that’s what she always said. I didn’t fit the mold of what she wanted. While my siblings were praised for even the smallest achievements, I was constantly criticized, told I’d never measure up, and had my self-esteem torn down bit by bit. She’d make snide remarks about my appearance, my frien...

AITA for walking around my house n**ed?

My girlfriend works mornings so I have the house to myself. And what do I like to do? Walk around n**ed. My girlfriend and I are the only two people who have the keys to the house, but she has a habit of lending her key out to her friends. I don't have a problem with that. My only problem is that she doesn't tell me when she does it. So one morning I'm walking around n**ed and I hear somebody o...

AITA for telling my friend that his wife has every right to divorce him after what he did

So, my friend (27M) is married to a woman (24F). From what I know, his personality before marriage was very different from what it is now. After marriage, he gets angry quite easily and yells at his wife whenever som**hing doesn’t go as planned. He has even yelled at her in front of their families and friends. Once, we were all having dinner, and he said som**hing to her that I didn’t hear....

AITA for telling a neighbour she can't expect only old people to live in our street?

I moved into my house about two to three years ago. I am 30, look 20, and have a family. My house is semi-detached in a street of terraced houses in a British town. I am quite introverted, so apart from my direct neighbors, I made no attempt to get to know the rest of the street. However, if someone speaks to me, I will happily talk to them. An elderly person (OAP) approached me while I was ...

AITAH for invading a woman's only event?

My sister is disabled and requires a companion when she goes out. She was invited by a woman in her dance cla*s to a woman's event in town. I drove her to the restaurant where the event was being held. The restaurant was closed, and someone was standing by the door letting people in who were there for the event and turning people away who thought the restaurant was open. When we walked up she ...

AITA for refusing to tell my mom my new address?

I (23f) recently moved in with my boyfriend (23m). We’ve been dating for a couple years now and my parents didn’t know about him. This was because they would not approve for various reasons (different religion/culture/race). Well they found out. Believe it or not but my mom got sus**cious and followed me, saw me with him. They gave me absolute h**l and I don’t think I cried that much in years. ...

AITA for purposefully changing the picture submitted to my dad's church to include me?

So I (23F) was born when my dad and mom were in their early/mid-twenties. At that time, my dad was a wild partier that made a ton of bad decisions. So after a few casual hookups, there I was. Mom and Dad weren't exactly close so I ended up doing most of the year with her and summers with him. Around the time I was probably 4-5 years old, Dad found religion and went back to his Baptist roots. ...

AITA for taking back the car I bought my boyfriend after I caught him cheating?

So I (F26) bought my boyfriend (M28) a car last year for his birthday. Not some fancy ride, but a decent used Honda since his junker kept breaking down. Paid cash, t*tle's in my name, the whole thing. Fast forward to last week when I'm charging his iPad (that I also pay for) and his iMessages pop up with some girl named "Bri from work" he's been f**king his coworker for months. Like, full-on af...
