AITA? For telling my brother and his wife that I will be suing them for selling the nursery I gave them?

I (f36) lost my 3 year old son from a chronic condition that he was born with. I struggled a lot with his illness and received a lot of support from my family when my ex husband was too busy with work than care for his son. When my brother and his wife found out they were expecting (they suffered from a miscarriage after a miscarriage) and because of their financial situation I decided to lend ...

AITA for having fun in front of miserable people?

My husband and I rent a house with his brother and wife. We live in a very expensive city and this is quite a big house with great metro access, so that's what's convenient. We get along fine usually. My husband and I have a son. He's just turned five. The early years were the normal struggle of trying to teach basic human functioning to a kid, but now it's become so fun! During this time there...

I'm a child of in***elity. My mom was cheating on my dad and I'm the result. My three other siblings are my dad's. I just turned 15.

I'm being treated like ga***ge by everyone because of it (parents, relatives, siblings, even fr...

AITA for not allowing my son to go to his paternal grandparents anniversary BBQ because his father's stepchildren will be there?

I (33F) have a 7 year old son with my ex (35M). Almost a year ago I was given full custody of our son and my ex was awarded supervised visitation. The reason for this was the a**se our son was suffering at the hands of his father's stepchildren (12 and 13). This was a very difficult battle to win. It started 3 years ago when my son came home from his father's house and my ex announced he'd gott...

AITA for telling my son's African American girlfriend that she can a wig even if my son doesn't want her to ?

I'm (37f) a white woman, out of my depth on this topic, and too scared to ask anyone who is African American face-to-face. My son's (14m) first girlfriend is an African American girl (13f), who we'll call Nina. Usually, when I see her, she's a bubbly social b**terfly. She smiles a lot and is very talkative. Recently, I noticed Nina seeming less confident the times I see her. Her change in d...

AITAH for refusing to pay for my wife friend’s meal after she called me cheap

My wife and I went out to dinner with her best friend last night. I offered to cover my wife’s meal and mine, but her friend just a*sumed I’d pay for hers too. When the check came, I put down enough for the two of us, and she looked at me like I had three heads. She laughed and said, “Wow, I didn’t realize you were that cheap.” I smiled and said, “I didn’t realize you were that ent*tled.” She t...
