AITA for refusing to go to my dads unless I'm fed properly?

I'm 17f and my parents are separated. My dad lives in another country so I don't see him much except for holidays. He lives in Germany with my stepmom and 9 year old little sister. I don't like my stepmom at all mainly because of her parenting style. Shes a complete helicopter parent. I don't think my sister has ever actually been out of an adults sight in her life, she's never just played outs...

AITA for thinking a divorce announcement due to an affair was an April fools joke?

Let me preface this off by blaming all of you, the entirety of reddit for desensitizing me, and giving me major trust issues on April fools day. So here it goes... Yesterday I got a group text from my wifes (sarah) side of the family stating there was an emergency family meeting happening that night over dinner at my mother in laws (Barb) house. I immediately had april fools spidey senses st...

AITAH for leaving my girlfriend at a wedding after she told the bride I used to have a crush on her?

I (27M) was invited to a friend’s wedding last weekend, not someone I talk to every day, but we were close back in college and stayed in touch. The bride and I had a flirty friendship back in the day. Nothing ever happened but I did used to have a bit of a crush on her. Early in my relationship with my girlfriend (26F), I mentioned that in pa*sing, just one of those “haha yeah, college was mes...

AITA for disrespecting my inlaws and leaving dinner table after my husband's dad insulted me?

Last night I had my inlaws visit, made them dinner and put it on the table while I had my own dinner which was a youghurt and salad because I'd gained few pounds and my husband pushed for me to lose some. Anyway, We were all sitting eating when my husband's dad asked what I was eating. I told him a salad, with a confused look on his face he said "A SALAD??? That ain't gon' fill up your fat a*s!...

AITA for purposely avoiding having breakfast with my husband and demanding to know why he was still home?

I’m 5 months pr****nt. For the bulk of my pregnancy, I have had issues with keeping food down, especially in the morning. My husband doesn’t understand this and accused me of starving myself and being on a fad d*et. I tried to eat more to get him to stop multiple times but it always caused me to throw up. That, and the general state of our marriage, made me start to intentionally avoid havi...

AITA My parents are forcing me to pay for my brothers grad school using money they never told me about

I've (30F) been financially independent since graduating college. I worked practically full-time while stud**ng, recently paid off my student loans on my own, and just started saving to buy a home. I didn’t apply to grad school because I couldn’t afford it, and my parents made it pretty clear growing up that we needed to stand on our own after high school. My brother (22M) is honestly a gen...

AITA for helping my friend get a girl removed from the soccer team?

I (16f) have a friend named Aysha (15f). Aysha is Muslim and wears a hijab to school which often causes people to give her dirty looks, comments, etc. I don’t know why. It’s just cloth. Anyway the worst instance possible was with this girl named Megan (also 15f). When we were sitting together at lunch she came up to Aysha and I and told Aysha she dared her to take her hijab off, taunting her sa...

AITA for abandoning a grieving friend after she tried to charge me rent?

My friend is a recent widow. It's been a long time coming but that hardly makes it easier, her husband pa*sed away at the end of February and she has been understandably distraught since. I have tried my best to support her through this even though I can't possibly understand what she's going through. At the beginning of the March she asked me if I'd stay over during the night because she coul...

AITA for asking my parents why my wedding gift was significantly smaller than my sister’s?

My husband and I (28M, 28F) got married recently, and my sister (31F) and I were discussing the wedding after returning from the honeymoon. We are very fortunate to have grown up in a household where my parents made very good money. They were generous with us, but raised my sister and I to be hard-working and not dependent on them as adults. My sister and I both do well financially as does her...

AITA for telling my mom shes not allowed to babysit after she cut my daughters hair?

My wife (32F) and I (34M) have a 6yo daughter Lily which has long, curly hair that she absolutely adores. Taking care of it is a bonding activity for her and the wife, they do hair masks, try out different braids, and Lily loves showing off her princess curls. Last weekend, my mom who we will refer to as "Karen" from now on, offered to babysit Lily so my wife and I could have a date night. When...
