AITA for renaming my sons 2 guinea pigs to names that I prefer over names he chose for them?

My son is 10, 1 year ago he asked for a pet Guinea pig. We have a large garden so I agreed but only with some terms. I would cover the upkeep of food, bedding and pig treats and toys. He would have to save up half the money for a large hutch and I would pay for a large outdoor run, he agreed and did his ch**es and for his birthday I paid for 2 Guinea pigs from a local seller. My son named t...

AITA for kicking my maid of honor out of my wedding because she wore a white dress… that I picked out?

So, I (27F) got married last weekend. My best friend, “Anna” (28F), has been my ride-or-d*e since high school and I asked her to be my maid of honor. I wanted everyone in the wedding party to feel confident and beautiful, so I let each of my bridesmaids pick their own dress within a certain color palette—earthy neutrals. Anna sent me a few options and asked for my opinion. One was a kind of off...

AITA for moving back out after my parents demanded I follow their rules

I (22 male) just finished college and went back to my hometown while I figure out what I want to do next. I was planning to share an apartment with my old friends, but my parents wanted me to move in to help them out. Covid has hid them hard and are struggling to pay their bills, so they wanted me to move in and pay rent. I said ok because I wanted to help them out. It all went well until 3 day...

WIBTA for not deleting my sons baby pictures?

My 45F son, 18M, has transitioned from a female to a male about 4-5 years ago. I ,myself, thought that it’s a little too early to start transitioning, but I didn’t say anything and decided to be supportive. After all, that’s my child! Anyway, a few days ago, my son saw me scrolling through my camera roll and yelled at me because I was tearing up at his baby pictures, where he was still dres...

AITA for telling my daughter it's her fault that her babysitter quit?

I have 3 kids: 6, 4 and nearly a year old. When I was pr****nt with my youngest, I hired a sitter to pick the other two up from school and watch them. We really liked her and appreciated her. My eldest loved her babysitter but she began to develop a huge att*tude. I know one of her friends has a nanny who she’s basically allowed to boss around with little consequence. We told my daughter th...

AITA for telling everyone exactly why I'm getting divorced?

My ex and I have one child together. We found out during my pregnancy that our child would be deaf, and wouldn't qualify for the surgery that some deaf people are able to get due to a combination of problems. While the external issue is a fluke, the internal issue is apparently som**hing that I always had a 25% chance of pa*sing down to a child. Once I learned this, I made an effort to star...

AITAH for not going back to my wife after she threatened to call the cops on me??

My wife and I have a 6 month old and since she came back from the hospital, she completely changed. Before that we were the perfect couple, never once argued, had a happy life. Her hatred for me was radiated from her everytime I was with her. I am not someone who likes to argue and after tolerating a lot, 2 days ago I snapped. We had a very heated argument that resulted in a screaming match. ...

AITAH for telling my boyfriend I feel v***ated?

A few weeks ago I woke up to my boyfriend of 4 years’ trying to stick his you-know-what in me, and I feel v***ated and don’t know what to do because when I bring it up he centres his own feelings about it and I end up comforting HIM. I have never said that this was ok to do, in fact it never came to mind he’d do som**hing like this because I told him my ex gr**ed me that way once. It went a bit...

AITA For not making dinner for my husband after he was rude to our son?

My son (13) has recently got into cooking and he's amazing at it. Usually when he was experimenting or making food for just himself he washed up. He started helping me out with meals, and two times a week now he cooks dinner by himself. My husband has been insisting he wash his own dishes up, but I usually just wind up doing them. I don't particularly like feeling like I'm doing nothing. ...

AITA for telling my roommate his girlfriend can’t stay over every weekend after she ate all my food—again?

So, I own my apartment and rent out the second room to a buddy of mine. Everything was cool at first, but lately, his girlfriend has been staying over every weekend. I wouldn’t mind so much if it wasn’t for the fact that every time she’s here, she helps herself to my stuff—mainly my food. I meal prep for the week, and I buy my own groceries. It’s not like I don’t share sometimes, but I’ve notic...

Recently, my mom (55F) moved in with us temporarily due to some financial issues. At first, it was fine, and I was happy to help her out. However, I started noticing strange things. Mark would often stay up late watching movies with my mom, and th...

AITA for saying my sister technically laid an egg?

My (29F) sister (35f) recently had a baby girl and the baby came out still in the sac and the doctor had to rip it open a little to let the baby out. It was really cool to see and everyone was happy and healthy. We were all seeing the baby a few days later and talking about the “birthing experience” when I joking said that technically she laid an egg. Well, my sister didn’t find it funny an...
