AITA for showing up at my brother's wedding pr****nt and announcing my baby's gender?

I (36F) am not close with my family. I live in a different state, so I don't have much contact with them. My brother (30M) got married last weekend and invited me. My husband and I recently separated, and after that I found out I was pr****nt. My extended family didn't know about the separation or about the pregnancy. I told my brother I was pr****nt when we spoke on the phone before the weddin...

AITA for flipping out on my daughters teacher after she made the comment "Well, life isnt fair" in response to my daughter saying she was overwhelmed?

So, my daughter(8) goes to a school system that just recently jumped on board with remote learning. As in we literally just got tablets set up through the school last Friday. Prior to this my daughter was going to school twice a week and was NEVER sent home with any sort of school/homework. Instead of easing their way in to the remote learning like most schools have done, they decided to slam m...

AITA for suing my biological father for unpaid child support?

I don't have a relationship with my biological father. He left her when she got pr****nt and never acknowledged that he had a child, always saying she was lying. She did prove paternity in court and got an order for child support. At the time at least, he had a job making well over 6 figures that was handed to him by his parents as well as rental properties, so the ordered amount was pretty hi...

AITA for talking to a girl in Swedish, who claimed she spoke it?

I'm Swedish and have lived in the U.S for about 5 years. Met my girlfriend 3 years ago and hit it off immediately. Last week we celebrated her birthday and she had, like usual, invited friends to the party. One of them we can call Linda. The evening was going well, we had talks, games and fun. My girlfriend and Linda spoke about some new acquaintance from Germany or som**hing, and Linda reac...

AITA- left wallet in best friends car…she’s mad because I had my cards cancelled.

So I left my wallet in my best friend’s car over the weekend. Every time we set a time to meet she cancels, changes the time, or has an excuse as to why she can’t meet for me to get my wallet. I offered to go to her house..:but she’s “never” home. So I told her I’m just going to have my debit card, and the other cards I have in my car wallet canceled and/or reported as stolen. She flipped ...

AITA for basically telling my ex girlfriend that she's not as hot as my current girlfriend?

My ex (24f) and I (24m) dated 5 years ago. We were together for about a year, but then she dumped me out of no where for another guy and broke my heart. She and I shared the same circle of friends so I continued to be cordial with her for the sake of our friend group, and we remained friends until we graduated and I distanced her out of my life and no longer speak to her. I'm still close with ...

AITA for Expecting My Husband to Do “My Job” While I’m on Maternity Leave?

I feel like I’m drowning, but maybe I’m the one at fault for expecting too much. I’m 27F and a first-time mom to a 7-week-old baby girl Daisy. She’s beautiful, but she cries all the time. The doctors call it colic, but it feels like I must be doing som**hing wrong. Isn’t a mother supposed to be able to comfort her child? I can’t even manage that. The past few weeks have been a blur of pain,...

AITA for sabotaging my little brother's food on purpose?

My little brother is 18. I'm 20. I am staying with my family for the holidays and thought it'd be a nice time but I forgot that they treat me like a housekeeper. I do almost all the ch**es and I don't mind if its MY ch**e. Obviously, if I notice the dishwashers full, I empty it. If I cook, I clean up. If I make a mess, I clean up. However, if my little brother makes a mess. He makes me clean u...

AITA For Calling My BIL Out For His Weaponized Incompetence And Calling Him Pathetic At Dinner?

I (F 24) have a sister (F 32) who has a husband (M 38) who is the poster child of weaponized incompetence. They have 4 kids (F10, M8, M5, F3) and she’s pr****nt. My sister works a full time job (40+ hours a week, cleans her entire house, cooks, takes care of all her children without him doing ANYTHING. It is seriously mind blowing that she wakes up at like 4 am, cooks breakfast, does ch**es, g...

AITA for sending my family an angry email because they still speak to my ex-husband and even have him over, especially in light of his present “relationship” with a girl 20 years younger than him?

So basic background is I’m 42, two kids age 14 and 12 and signed divorce papers in April after almost 2 years of it being drug out trying to get my fair share from him. The details of “why” are not important but I’m angry, embarra*sed, lost and sad any given moment of the day. A lot of this has to do with feeling like I’ve been “replaced” by a 23 year old surfing instructor who is everything I...

AITA? For telling my husband he deserved to be called an i**ot by my sister for what he told her kids during Thanksgiving dinner?

First Thanksgiving without our beloved BIL (Sis' husband, 30s, pa*sed away months ago from a serious medical condition). He and my sister and their kids used to spend Thanksgiving at my parents' house every year. This year, seeing how sad my sister has been, we weren't sure whether she wanted to join us, but were surprised when she showed up with her kids while we were about to eat, and brough...

AITA For lashing out after my husband ruined the food I prepared for our guests?

Me (F26) and My husband (M33, Mike) have been married for a year now. He doesn't cook. He's bad at it. His cooking is the worst despite learning from books/YT videos/me teaching him. It just never works. Every time he steps a foot into the kitchen it turns into a mess. He doesn't know how. Maybe because he's constantly busy with work (Police Officer) and is used to fast food. But he's good ...
