Mother Wonders If Keeping Baby Pictures Of Her Transgender Son Makes Her Insensitive

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...

Husband and Wife Disagree If It Was Appropriate To Tell Their 6 Y.O. That Her Bratty Att*tude Made Their 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...

Father Left His Wife and Newborn Due to the Child's Illness Yet Falsely Claims She Kicked Him Out, Provoking Her to Reveal the Truth

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??

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...

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...

AITA for refusing to plan my son/DIL wedding because my future DIL is always late

I am just retired and I was a wedding planner. My son and my future DIL asked me if I would plan their wedding since I have the experience. I did plan my daughter’s wedding. I told them no and when asked why I told both of them that it is due to my future DIL lateness habit. She claims it is a cultural difference and everyone in her fmaily is late. This is true, they are always 30 minutes or mo...

I'm a 32-year-old man, and my wife Jess is a 26-year-old woman. We have been married for three years. Six months ago, I started to experience erectile dysfunction. This has largely been spurred by anxiety. It's a medical condition that I am currently seeing a doctor for. Jess has gone between blaming me and then blaming herself. Basically weekly the pendulum swings one way or the other. Late...
