AITA for not wanting to be around my GF’s little sister and causing a rift in the family?

I met my girlfriend when we were 11. We were on the same basketball team so I met her family at the games. Her sister “Sammi” was 8 back then and I guess her family used to like teasing that she has a little crush on me and she’d get all shy whenever I hung out with them. They made jokes about me being her “little boyfriend.” Then we got together when we were 13. So the whole Sammi crushing...

AITA for not talking to my mom after she records conversations?

I am a 14-year-old female with Asperger's, Anxiety, and insomnia. I recently found out my mom has been recording conversations and then sharing them on her Snapchat for her friends' entertainment. She has been adding text that says things along the lines of “The struggles of a mentally disabled child” or “Don’t you love aspergers?”. I find this annoying and asked her to stop recording me witho...

AITA for refusing to pay for my husband's birthday dinner after he "pranked" me in front of everyone?

I (28F) took my husband (31M) out to dinner for his birthday last weekend. I reserved a table at a nice steakhouse he loves and invited a few close friends and family, nothing huge, just 10 people. I paid for everything myself. At dinner, I stood up to give a short toast about how proud I was of him for hitting a milestone at work. I barely got two sentences in before he cuts me off and say...

AITA for refusing to bake my pr****nt SIL a baby shower cake even though I’ve baked cakes for all my other sisters/SILs?

So I’ve got a ma*sive family, one of 6 siblings. My youngest brother got married last year and his wife is now pr****nt with their first baby. She was planning on having a big baby shower sometime over the summer and wanted me to be in charge of baked goods (cake, cupcakes, etc). I’m a big baking hobbyist and I make a lot of very extravagant cakes for family/friends. This has always been a thin...

AITA for wearing all white to my best friend’s wedding? And refusing to apologize

My (30F) best friend (32F) invited us (husband and I) to go on vacation with them at S padre island. She told me to bring the dress I wore to my last anniversary dinner for the special dinner/event she planned during the vacation. I said sure. I also recently gave birth, and that dress is an elegant black lace over nude dress that is very cla*sy but also form fitting. When i tried it on whe...

AITA For telling my Niece her mother tried to give her away as a baby?

I (28 M) got into a huge argument with my sister (31 F) last week. The argument had been simmering for a long time, as tension between us has been high for years. When I was 17 my sister had an accidental pregnancy, and when she told her boyfriend he left her. Due to our religious family she kept the baby, but once her daughter was born she panicked. She didn’t want to go through the legal ...

AITA for giving my mom the wrong start time for my birthday lunch so she'd be on time?

My (22F) mom (mid 40' F) is one of those people who is always late to everything. I'm talking family gettogethers, birthdays, graduations, wedding's, you name it she's showing up late. At first growing up I just thought it was because she's bad with time, but as I've gotten older I genuinely believe she likes making an entrance. I personally find it 1) rude and 2) embarra*sing because it's ...

AITA for calling the police on my dad when he stole the money that was meant for my child's birthday?

I'm 22f, I have a son who's going to be 4 next month. I'm low income so birthdays and Christmas are som**hing I need to save for year round but I always make a fairly big deal out of them because I never had that as a young child due to my father's inability to spend money on anything that wasn't a necessity or alcohol. When I got my first job at 16, ¾ of my paycheck was taken by him to suppor...

AITA for telling my sister she can't name her baby after my d**d husband?

I (30F) am 8 months pr****nt with my first child, it's a boy. My husband Rodrigo (35M) d*ed in the army 3 months ago. My sister Kayla (28F) just gave birth five days ago. She and her BF live with our parents, and I temporarily moved in as well (it's a very big house) because I hated being alone and my parents have been very supportive. We were going to name the baby Alex, and I am still going w...

AITA for telling my husband’s childhood best friend she’s too involved with my kid?

A bit over a year and a half ago me and my husband gave birth to our son. It was our first kid and we were incredibly nervous and scared we were gonna screw things up. The first week with him back where horrid he cried all the time and it was ridiculously exhausting but I’d be lying if I said we didn’t know what we were getting into. At the start my husbands bsf was amazing she would come round...
