AITA for demanding my coworker pay me for a ride to work after many months of giving her a free ride?

For the last fourteen months, I have been driving one of my coworkers to and from work. She only lives a mile up the road from me and is on the way, so I've never asked her for a dime or accepted when she's offered me money. From my perspective, I'm going there either way, and her overall household expenses are higher than my own, so it felt like the thing to do. Over the weekend, my car we...

AITA if I lock my freezer full of ice cream when my sister and her teen kids come to visit?

My house is sort of the place where most family meetups happen. I kept my parents house and have lived there since then. I've noticed that my sister doesn't really have a good handle on her kids in terms of discipline. The past 2 times that they have come they have eaten so many of my ice cream bars and they always make such a f**king mess. It's aggravating. I would be fine if they grabbed ...

AITA for refusing to return a tip AND telling a couple that I dont have time to play mediator?

I'm a 22 year old, female waitress at Texas Roadhouse. This is one of my two jobs to put myself through college. Most days are fine but other days are a living h**l. Yesterday I was a*signed a table that had a husband, wife and what appeared to be a teenage daughter (maybe 17). Everything was going smooth at first and the wife ordered a margarita. The husband then tried ordering a beer. The...

AITA for telling DIL I won’t watch her older kids so she could take the baby on a vacation

My son and DIL have 3 kids, 2 girls and a boy. The girls are 3 and almost 1 and her son is 4. I’ve always believed she favors the youngest. With the older two, she was going back to work at 12 weeks, had them in daycare all day every day, didn’t b***stfeed, and just seemed disinterested in becoming a parent. It’s night and day with this baby though. She quit her job so the baby wouldn’t be in ...

AITA for completely banning my daughter from using anything internet related?

So my daughter (12F) is literally in love with roblox, she plays it everyday with her friends any chance she gets. Obviously my wife and I aren't happy with this, but she does well enough in school, and has her priorities straight when it comes to education. One day my daughter came crying to me that her account got hacked by someone on roblox, and that she lost her entire account. I was freaki...

AITA that I asked my husband if I could take a shower

I (26F) and my husband (26M) share a baby together (6months F). There are a few things I could complain about my husband when it comes to helping me with our baby but I won't get into those as I can handle without. My husband works 9 hour days, currently 6 days a week (usually 4 but his schedule has changed), each night he comes home, spends an hour (maybe 2) with our daughter, then jumps on a...

AITAH For Telling My Nephew That My Baby Is In My Uterus And Not My Tummy?

I’m Jewish, but it was more of a cultural thing for my family. In contrast, Paul was raised in a strict, Christian family. He told me that when he was a kid, he knew nothing about his body and thought babies came from the stork. This was very different from how I was raised, but I never put much thought into it. Paul is no longer religious, and we have similar values and ideas about how we wan...

AITAH if I accept my uncle’s inheritance after he disowned his own children (my cousins)?

So my uncle was a total a*shole. He made lots of questionable choices in life and I’m not proud of him at all. We weren’t close either. But I was always polite to him. He was serial cheater and left to be with his mistresses, marry them, only to cheat on them with someone new again. The children of his first wife absolutely despised him. The divorce was messy and rocky between their parents....

AITAH for not rescheduling my wedding after my sister was widowed?

My partner's sister (35F) was widowed last month. Everyone has really tried going above and beyond for his sister, making sure she's as comfortable as possible. And I truly can't imagine, you know? You'd probably have to inst*tutionalize me if som**hing happened to my boy. My partner's mom came to him a few days ago and asked if he would consider postponing the wedding. She said they would ...

AITA for not giving my brothers wife a role in my wedding?

Long story short my brother married Gemma 4 years ago. She and I have a history. She was a bully in high school and I was one of her targets. She bullied me until it got to the point my parents changed my school because I was struggling. I have a history of anxiety disorder as well as depression (that was later diagnosed as major depressive disorder). She made me so uns**ble and took joy in it...

AITA for checking our nanny cam footage to prove I was being lied to?

Recently, my spouse, daughter (5), and I were having dinner together. He took some food off her plate to try a bite and she responded by shaking her finger and saying "You need to ask!" He said "I'm sorry, you're right, I should ask," and then a few minutes later, reached over to my place setting and took some of my food without asking. I didn't think it was a great example for our daughter con...

AITAH for basically crashing out at my MIL over the gender of our baby??

I (26F) and my husband (32M), married for 2 years and together for 5, are expecting our first child and are thrilled. We decided not to find out the gender, wanting a surprise, a decision my husband shares. I had a good relationship with my mother-in-law (MIL) and shared updates, including ultrasound images. I am 8 months pr****nt, and my MIL constantly asked if we changed our minds about k...
