AITA for refusing to babysit my nephew, even in a family medical emergency, because my brother and SIL lied before?

I am my brother and SIL’s only relative in the city. When SIL was pr****nt I made it clear that I’d only babysit for them in the case of a serious emergency, e.g. someone has a medical emergency. I won’t babysit if they just wanted time off from being parents, because I don’t have the free time for that. I work 60-100 hours a week, so if anyone needs time off, it’s me. Last year, my brother...

AITA for refusing to move in with my boyfriend after he secretly tested me?

I (28F) have been dating my boyfriend, “Jake” (31M), for two years. Things have been going great—or so I thought. Recently, we started discussing moving in together, and I was really excited. We even started looking at places. Then, last week, Jake dropped a b**bsh**l. He admitted that before committing to moving in, he wanted to “test” me to see if I was “serious enough” about our relation...

AITAH for taking my BIL to small claims court for a prank?

A few months ago, we were at a family BBQ. I had a few too many beers and fell asleep in a hammock with my shirt off. My BIL, who was completely sober, thought it would be hilarious to fill my belly b**ton with super glue. At some point, I must have touched it, because when I woke up, I had glue partially dried in my belly b**ton and on my finger. We tried to remove it, but it was stuck. Th...

AITA for refusing to drive my ex boyfriend to the ER

I (24f) broke up with my boyfriend (28m) of 4 years on new years day due to in***elity. Ever since then he’s been constantly calling me, messaging me on literally every social media app and coming around to my house even though I’ve told him numerous times he has to stop contacting me. Last Wednesday at 2 in the morning, he called me repeatedly until I answered and he told me he was in bad pai...

AITA for calling my brother and sister ‘Jaime and Cersei Lannister’?

My brother (24) and sister (17) do this really weird thing sometimes where they hug and kiss (on the cheek) for 10-20 mins. Like, she’ll be sitting on his knee (sometimes with her arms around him) while he’s doing work on his laptop and they’ll be hugging while talking or and kissing each other on the cheek. Sometimes they lick each other’s ear along with kisses on the forehead and stuff. I...

AITA for telling my friend's fiancé that she doesn't know what a bad day is.

I'm a 29M and I've been in EMS for almost 7 years, but I've only been a paramedic on a department for about a year. Now onto the story. This happened a few shifts ago. We got a call at 0600 for a pediatric full arrest. When we got on scene, my heart dropped. The parents said that they put their 6mo to bed last night and then went to bed. When dad was about to leave for work, he opened the d...

AITAH for not accepting a dozen roses from my husband after my surgery?

I had to have a lumpectomy on one of my b***sts due to cancer. My husband took me to the hospital for the procedure and left to go "run errands." I had never had this procedure done before, and finding out I had cancer was a scary thing. He said he'd be right back while they were prepping me for surgery. Once I was ready and waiting to go into surgery, the nurse asked if I wanted my husband to...

Update: I told my wife she could leave and I wasn’t going to kick my kids out.

All four of my kids are ok and with me. Amanda is still at her parents house. My older two kids have told me some disturbing things that they’ve been feeling since moving in full-time. It took me a while to get it out of them. They said they’ve been uneasy and have felt like if they put a single toe out of line they’d be forced to go back to their moms or be homeless. They’ve been trying t...

AITAH for messaging a woman privately about why she’s not liked

I (33F) am in a local dog group with a bunch of other women that are about mid 20s to late 30s. It’s for people in the neighbourhood/ country who want to explore different areas but also bring our dog and make new friends. A few weeks ago a new woman joined (mid 20s). A group of us had brunch and went for a walk with our dogs. The problem seemed to be is she has a completely different att*tude ...

My Fiance's Mom Lied About A No-Kids Trip So She Could Exclude My Daughters

I 33F am a mother of 2 girls (7&5) their dad pa*sed away from cancer and it was a very devastating loss for both his and my family. I met my now fiance "JACK" , 36M 2 years ago. He's very sweet and adores both my daughters equally. However, his mom has a bit of a harsh view on single moms especially with how low my income is compared to his (He's a doctor). I tried my best to have a good, r...

AITA for refusing to give my late sons child money if his Stepdad adopts him?

My late son d*ed in a car accident a few years ago. He had been dating a girl for a few months and I found out at the funeral she was about 13 weeks pr****nt. They were both 22. Well, I politely asked for a DNA test, and by using my family's DNA, I found out I did indeed have a Grandson, "Dave Jr" lets call him. So anyway, I decided along with my husband to help the girl, "Lissa," out. We are c...
