AITA For refusing to babysit for my brother and SIL after they previously told me they don't trust me

I (28M) have an older brother (31M) and SIL (30F) who have a 3-year old son and SIL is about 7-months pr****nt with their second child. I am a single man in my 20s and live by myself. As such, I live a fairly typical bachelor lifestyle. I enjoy going out to bars and clubs, in the past I have attended music festivals and dabbled in drug use, and I do not apologize for it. It's the way I am ...

AITA if I tell my tenants they can't have packages delivered to the house?

I have a rental unit in my home, a daylight bas**ent with a separate entrance. I share my mailbox with my tenants, and until recently, I never had issues with mail or deliveries. About seven months ago, I rented to a couple in their mid-forties. She’s a subst*tute teacher out all day, and he’s “retired” and home during the day. Generally, they’re great tenants—rent is always on time, and the...

AITA for telling my sister she lost me the second she even considered dating my ex who gave me an STD and didn't tell me?

I (28f) was with a guy called Jason (29m) when we were 20/21 years old. We broke up when I was 22 after I'd found out he had not only cheated on me, but knew he contracted an STD from sleeping around and didn't tell me. He had known about it and he was told he needed to speak to any s*xual partners because of the risks a*sociated with this STD to fertility and he said nothing. I remember wh...

AITA for letting my SIL interview me about being a birth mother knowing my answers wouldn't be exactly what she was looking for?

I (34f) gave birth to a baby boy when I was 20 and I put him up for adoption. I don't know anything about him and never had any contact with his family or him. This isn't som**hing I keep secret but I also don't go into the details frequently either. My husband's younger sister (22f) became a young mom at 17. She and her boyfriend considered giving their baby up for adoption but decided to keep...

AITA for telling my girlfriend to stop commenting on my eating habits, after she told me to cut out red meat?

I (26M) eat a lot of steak, about 5-6 days a week. I also lift weights everyday and this is my main source of protein. My girlfriend (26F) turned vegetarian about 6 months ago and so she will never eat anything I cook, except for the sides (potatoes, veggies, pasta, etc). Most days I cook steak and pasta because it is easy to prepare. My girlfriend never commented about my eating habits unt...

AITA for having pot cookies out in the open in my own home?

This is an ongoing situation, and I am currently writing this as my niece is having a full-on meltdown. Today was my day off and I decided to whip up a batch of pot cookies (cookies that have w**d extract in them) so I can snack on them for the weekend. After they finish baking, I left them out on a cooling tray so they can set. Just as I finished cleaning up the kitchen, I hear the doorbell a...

AITA for refusing to tell my wife to stop putting notes in my lunch?

Ok, so my wife (27F) has a habit of putting notes (affirmation) in my (31M) lunch when she packs it. She's been doing it for a year now (it started when I suffered from some issues surrounding employment) and I appreciate it a lot because it gives me strength and renews my energy for the rest of the day. So anyway, my co-workers know about and sometimes would tease me about it calling me a 4th ...

AITA for not taking off my face mask on a plane even though the guy next to me kept making comments about it?

So I (early 20s m) am traveling for work this week and was on a 3 hour flight sitting next to this older white guy, probably in his 50s. For context, I’m Asian, and I was wearing a black KN95 mask just because I had a sore throat and didn’t want to get sick before a big presentation. Right after I sat down, this guy looked at me and said som**hing like, “Still wearing those things, huh?” I just...

AITA for ditching the date and leaving my partner "stood up"?

I am a 27F attorney, dating a 33M programmer. He's constantly late for things and has always had problems with keeping track of time. There have been times when we have made plans for a date and he would just go missing in action for hours, only to respond after he was already late. Given how hectic my work schedule is, I try really hard to set time for him on the weekends and he has often 1. ...

AITA for yelling at my sister in law?

I'm an ex h***in addict. The why and how isn't important, but I got hooked at 15, tried to get clean at 17 but relapsed hard, finally got my act together and got off it for good at 21. I'm 26 now and completely clean. I don't even drink, except for on special occasions where I'll have two or three drinks at most. Now, my older brother and his wife have been together since shortly before I h...

AITA for telling my ex-wife to F-off and not allowing her to talk to our kids?

I have five kids with my now ex-wife, (7F), (5F), (2M and 2M), and a seven month old baby boy. When my ex was pr****nt with the baby, she decided that she didn't want to be involved with me or the kids anymore, so she divorced me and signed all her rights away. The only reason that I know she's still alive is the child support checks that I get. My kids are obviously still upset over their ...

AITA for making my son cook for his sister even if it means cooking at midnight and waking him up.

My daughter 21 gets off at work at 4 am, she usually stays up until lunch time and then sleeps until she goes to work. She works night shift, my son is 17 and still in highschool. I’m at work when she is sleeping but my son was home for the summer and he would wake her up to make him food. He would pester her until she did it so she could go back to sleep. It came to a head a month ago where my...
