AITA for refusing to let my kids see my mother after she sold the home I paid for?

For nearly nine years, I lived in and paid for a home under the agreement that once it was paid off, my mother would transfer the t*tle to me. The home was in her name, but I covered the mortgage, lot rent, and all expenses. I also put my own money into renovations and repairs like new flooring, light fixtures, refinishing cabinets, replacing appliances, and fixing the oven. My mom original...

AITA for telling a kid to shut up on the plane?

Today I went holiday with my wife, we sat to our designated seats and in front of us there were three kids with the mother sitting on the raw parallel to them. Two of the slightly older kids (10 to 12 y.o.) were well behaved but the youngest (8-9 y.o.)was such spoiled little monster. Shouting and screaming if he would not get what he wanted, not listening to the mother to keep him quiet, or in...

AITA for kicking out my sister after she sabotaged a meeting with a fertility clinic?

Eight years ago, my (29f) sister (32f) became pr****nt. The father was not involved, and my sister did not want the baby but could not terminate or adopt the child out to strangers. She asked my then-ex-husband and me if we would adopt her child. We were hesitant due to potential future issues, but my sister insisted there would be none, so we agreed. When Lucy was under one year old, my husba...

AITA for making a complaint against a nursery worker due to how she reacted to my wife picking our kid up?

My wife (36) and I (37M) have 2 kids, a daughter (8) and a son (3). My wife is an essential worker as she’s a doctor.

AITA For Kicking my Mother out of my Wedding After She Brought my Ex as Her Plus One

I (M30) started seeing June (F29) about 3 years ago. My mother has never really liked June for a couple reasons, the main one being the fact that June didn't let my mom push her around. She kept firm boundaries which I really admired and she even helped me do the same. My mom hated this, calling June controlling and wishing I hadn't broken up with my previous girlfriend Margo, who my mom loved...

AITA for requesting that my teacher not partner me with my d**dbeat father's daughter?

My father walked out on my mom when she was pr****nt with me (16m). They were married for like 5 years at that point but he was cheating a lot. Mom trying to divorce him went through h**l because they'd picked up and moved. He never met me. He didn't show up at court for their divorce, or for custody, or for child support. He went to jail three times for failure to pay child support and for tr...

AITA for refusing to take my daughter to "her" birthday party?

My (33F) daughter “Cleo” (5yo) hates pink. She has disliked the color and almost everything to do with it since she was about three or so. She has one pink shirt she likes and one pink stuffed animal, and that’s it. My father’s partner, “Prue,” refuses to accept that Cleo doesn’t like pink. Over the years, she’s made several attempts to push the color onto her (pretty much every gift she’s ever...

AITA for throwing a party for my daughters after they were uninvited?

My daughters (11/10) both have purple hair. They love it this way and have been getting it dyed since they were 6 (with caution). They were invited to a little girl's birthday/Halloween party under the condition they have their hair dyed a natural color. I asked why and the mother insisted their hair would take away from birthday pictures cause they'd draw attention. I asked if my daughters co...

My neighbor's dog recently got pr****nt and she claims my dog did it, which is likely because her dog often escaped into my yard and she lets her dog roam around it.

She says she's ent*tled to financial compensation and I'll have to pay "child support" fo...

Basically I [20M] recently started a job where I have mostly female coworkers. Amongst them is a small group who all have young kids around the same age. They go to mum-and-kid activities together, babysit each other's kids, have coffee mornings, hang out at the weekends etc. There is one coworker who has complained to her a few times that she feels deliberately left out by this group. She ref...

AITAH for leaving my wife, stepson, and everyone behind to start over?

My wife and I have been married for nearly 7 years. She cheated on me with a coworker of hers about 5 years back. I've been sus**cious for the entire year that she was doing it again. And I was correct. Not sure with who but she lies like a rug now and takes zero response. She blames me for her actions. I've been an utterly trainwreck. Depression, too much booze, anxiety through the roof. A...
