AITAH for refusing to cancel my birthday trip because my boyfriend’s mom planned a family dinner the same day?

I (20F) planned a weekend getaway with two close friends for my birthday. I've had a rough year, and this trip was som**hing i really looked forward to. It's nothing wild. Just a cabin, some wine, and hiking. I booked it over a month ago and told my boyfriend (23M) right away. He said it sounded fun and was happy for me. A few days ago his mom decided to host a family dinner on the same wee...

I (23F) have a husband (24M). He has a sister (25F) who he is extremely close to. Me and her have gotten along since my husband first introduced me to her and I actually consider her my sister. Recently, she has started living with us.

AITA for defending my daughter's religious choices?

I understand religion can be a touchy subject sometimes, so I’ll try to tread carefully. My daughter “Jessica” (22F) dropped the b**bsh**l that she was going to be an atheist and did not wish to attend church services anymore unless necessary (weddings, funerals, etc.). As her mother, I was initially shocked and rather hurt because I raised her as a Catholic, but we had lengthy discussions ...

AITA for demanding my sister and her boyfriend pay me back for drinking my whisky.

My sister started living with me recently and pays me reduced rent. I was away from home for about a week due to work. I gave her a simple rule of forbidding her bringing anyone over. Not her new boyfriend or her friends. No exceptions to this rule. Well she broke that rule. During my week away. One of her Instagram posts showed her BF wearing one of my jackets on a night out. I called her ...

AITA for asking my current wife to stop body shaming my ex-wife ?

I (45m) married my 2nd wife (29f) a few years after my ex-wife (47f) divorced me. I'm thin while current wife is on the heavier side but my ex-wife is much heavier than her. I honestly prefer a woman to be on the heavier side. My wife has referred to my ex as "fat" multiple times, in a derogatory manner. I asked my wife to stop body shaming my ex, and my wife accused me of still loving my e...

AITA for refusing to move my dog from her armchair so my disabled cousin could sit down?

My grandma and mom asked if they could host a party at my place which happened yesterday. The reason why they asked for my place is because it’s centrally located to all my family members and it’s a home that’s been in the family for generations (I inherited it) so everybody is familiar with it. Now I have an old girl, Sierra, and she’s 11 years old. She has arthritis and one really bad hip, bu...

I am 16 and my sisters are 13 and 10. They keep bringing lice to the house, I guess they get it at school or pa*s it back and forth between each other; for nearly the last year there has been lice on one or both of them more often than not. I've gotten it a few times and it's so hard to get rid of, my hair is thick and curly. My sister's are also so gross, they won't be careful what brushes or ...

I’ve been wanting to get a belly piercing for a couple years now so I decided to take a leap with my friends. I didn’t inform my boyfriend beforehand since I didn’t think it...

AITA for pricing my custom cakes so high, just to discourage people from asking me for cakes.

I'm a hobbyist baker but my full time job is engineering consulting. There's more money in the engineering side; when I want to pick up extra hours of work, I'm gonna do engineering work. But I genuinely like making cakes for friends or for events as a surprise! But I don't always, sometimes I'm just too busy to make one, it's just som**hing I do if I happen to have a free day before a get toge...
