AITAH for not wanting to remove my sister from the wedding party over a broken nose?

I (44M) and getting married to Amber (35F, fake name) next weekend. On Friday I got a call from my youngest sister Luna (34F, fake name) asking if I could pick her up from the hospital as her husband was away with work. Her job can be really physical and she's extremely outdoorsy and active so her calling to be picked up from the hospital isn't unusual. When I arrived to pick up Luna she was a...

My wife is upset that I gave away our children's Inherentiece (also gave mine away) to my sister who was the primary caregiver for our mother. AITAH?

Long story short my sister became our parents primary caregiver for the last 12 years. Our mom pa*sed away about a year ago after everything was settled my parents still had a decent chunk of money left. As per the will she it was split four ways with majority going to my children. My sister does not have kids, and to be frank our mom did take her for granted. I tried to help when I could b...

AITAH for telling my family that if I can't bring my newborn to my father's birthday then they won't see my family again?

I f24 and my husband (32) recently just welcomed our daughter into the world four months ago. My daughter was supposed to have a cousin that was a month older than her but my brother (30) and his wife (31) unfortunately had a stillborn at 7 months and she had to give birth to her d**d child. This was very hard for my brother and his wife because she had many miscarriages and everyone thought t...

AITA for telling my husband that I would’ve never agreed to have his child if I knew he would go back on our agreement?

I (30F) have been married to my husband, Jake (35M), for six years. Before we had our son, Ethan (2M), Jake and I made a deal: we’d share parenting responsibilities equally. Jake even promised to reduce his work hours so I wouldn’t have to sacrifice my career entirely. Fast forward to now, and I feel like I’m doing everything. I work part-time from home, handle all the childcare, and still mana...

AITA for telling my niece my husband and I are not going to her birthday because my husband isn't welcome?

I have been with my husband for 10 years. We have been married for 5 of those years. He has suffered horrific trauma at the hands of his dad. His parents were married and expecting twins when his mom suffered some kind of hemorrhage and she ended up with eclampsia. My husband's mom and twin sister did not make it. But my husband did after a period of time in the NICU. His dad told him it was h...

AITA for disagreeing that I shouldn't wear shorts because a girl finds me wearing them uncomfortable?

I am someone who always has been wearing shorts my whole life. I've always worn shorts every weather, going gym, out, training, anything. So today my cousin messaged me and told me not to wear shorts tomorrow (we are all meeting up at her place) and I asked why. He told me his girlfriend finds it uncomfortable that I wear shorts. I don't mind not wearing shorts as its her house at the end o...

AITA for going to the parents of the girl my stepsister has been bullying?

My stepsister (17f) has been bullying this girl in our grade, Mia. Mia is a very shy person. We were never friends but were friendly until the bullying started and then Mia withdrew from everyone. I found out about the bullying over a month ago. People described it as "not real bullying" but my stepsister has called her names and told her she doesn't deserve friends. I found a note telling Mia...

AITA for asking my nanny “who’s employing who?” here?

I have had a nanny for 6 months. For the most part, I like her. She’s great to the kids (18 months and 5). But recently I feel like we’ve had some issues where she’s crossing boundaries. I don’t mind getting advice but I also feel like my house isn’t being respected. For example, my kids’ rooms are pretty much toy free outside their comfort objects. I want the room to be a place of rest, no...

AITAH for kicking out my dad’s girlfriend after she made a comment about me being r***st because I wear a bonnet when I sleep?

Yes this is as d**b as the t*tle sounds. For some context: I’m white. I have super thin, curly hair and every time I go to sleep, I wake up with the worst bedhead. I mean giant knots in my hair, hair sticking up in all different directions and it’s super frizzy. My best friend is black, and she thinks it’s hilarious how crazy it looks sometimes. I told her over the summer that I was really ...

AITA for not letting my sister announce her pregnancy at my wedding even though I got proposed to at hers?

Me (28) and my sister (32) have never really gotten along that well. My parents were divorced and so we never really spent much time together during our childhood. Once we got in our early twenty though that changed and we actually got pretty close. Both of us were in serious relationships and we would always talk about our dream weddings. Fast forward a few years and my sister was finally ...

AITA for noticing that my girlfriend's fibromyalgia sure does seem to flare up at convenient times?

My girlfriend Jenny (26 F) and I (30 M) have been together for a year. She moved in with me about six months ago partially because she had nowhere else to go, but we're living happily together most days. Jenny suffers from a condition called fibromyalgia. It is a really complicated condition that even doctors do not understand all that well, but from what I've researched as a layman, it is a g...

AITA for not eating my meal at my cousins wedding because my dad changed my selection

Several years ago my grandparents had a 50th anniversary party. It was set up kinda like a wedding reception so we had a choice for the meal, the options were 2 different German foods and steak. I was like 16 so I chose steak. Then at the actual event someone couldn't come and orders were mixed up and I ended up with a pickle wrapped in meat. Everyone insisted that was what I picked. So I t...
