AITA for telling him I'm locking myself in the room for the rest of the vacation because I'm tired of holding his sisters kid?

My fiance and I were invited to go along on a trip to California for a week. I do not have my children with me due to them being with their father and having wrestling tournaments that they cannot miss (already spent hundreds on nonrefundable tickets for them to participate). We drove here with his family, so I was already quite exhausted when getting to the resort after having listened to an 8...

AITA for secretly outbidding my in-laws for a house on our block?

My wife has a somewhat difficult relationship with her parents. The usual stuff you see on this sub: lack of respect for boundaries, bossiness, unso***ited opinions about personal choices. She has a hard time pushing back, in part because she is a natural people-pleaser, and in part because her parents paid for her long and expensive education. I don't have big issues with them, but then I don...

Man Hoses Kid To Keep Him Off His Lawn, It Turns Into Daily Routine And A Wholesome Friendship

I (37M) live with my wife (37F) and son and daughter ( 9 and 11 respectively). Recently, there has been this kid who comes by our house after playing soccer and either rides his bike or walks over the lawn with his cleats on his way home. It started out as me giving him stern looks whenever I saw him, then it slowly progressed to me asking him to just go around. The last time I asked him to ...

AITA for taking away my brother's birthday cake after he had paid for it?

My brother, “Rob,” is a self-proclaimed prankster. He loves pulling pranks on everyone, including strangers. His pranks, in my opinion, aren’t funny and may land him in serious trouble in the future. His “pranks” are just antagonising someone until he gets bored and then calling it a “prank.” Rob’s behaviour has seriously affected my relationship with him. When I first started dating my wife, ...

AITA for moving out of the apartment my parents bought for me after they made me let my brother live there.

When I got into university my parents purchased an apartment close to the campus so that I could live my way without having to deal with other people. I'm not social and I could best be described as either a misanthropist or curmudgeonly. It was great for two years. And I came out of my sh**l a little. I met other people like me and discovered that, unlike high school, university isn't h**l. ...

AITA for refusing to make my husband another cup of coffee after he purposely dropped the first one?

My 26-year-old wife and I (31-year-old husband) woke up this morning, and I told her I was not in the mood and asked her to make me a cup of coffee before I went to work. She went and made it with extra sugar, just how I always like it, but when I tasted it, I made a face and said it was too sweet. I told her this is how I usually have it, but she said she was already 20 minutes late for work,...

AITAH for not wanting to put my (25f) life on hold for my boyfriend's (30m) dog?

I have been with my partner for about two years and he treats me great. He's a very loving and kind person and we get along great. One problem we have had since the start of our relationship that I thought I could ignore is that we are in different places in life, I feel like. We are 25 (me) and 30 (him). He has lived in big cities and done a lot of different jobs related to his field. He is s...

AITAH for pretending I didn't know my ex?

I (29 F) was in a secret relationship with Shane (27 M) for 2 years. The relationship was a normal relationship except nobody knew about it. Because I'm a bigger girl and I've never been in a relationship, I didn't push the issue. After 2 years of Shane living with me, I came home to all of his belongings gone. I tried to call him but he blocked my phone number and blocked me on Snapchat. He c...
