AITA for "letting" my daughter "price gouge" my sister for babysitting?

My sister Jane has two kids 10 and 8. The 8-year-old is autistic and not always the easiest. He tends to only speak and cooperate with people he knows well. My daughter Kate (17) is one of those people that he cooperates very well with. My sister is a nurse and due to the pandemic she's been getting huge shift bonuses to pick up shifts. Her hospital is so short-staffed they are offering $700 p...

AITA for making my husband and children prove they can take care of a dog without my help?

Before we got married and had kids my husband and I agreed that all big decisions required two yes or no votes. Well our two oldest kids and my husband want a dog. I do not. I have heard too many horror stories about a family getting a pet and then the person who did not want it being stuck caring for it. I finally agreed on three conditions. One, smaller than sixty pounds, we do not need a mas...

AITA for telling a coworker that the office is NOT a daycare center?

I work for a local government office, in a large complex with a whole lot of people. When their kids are sick or when they don't have a sitter for their kids, they take the day off from the substantial leave that we're allowed per year. My ent*tled coworker feels that when she doesn't have a sitter, it's perfectly fine to just bring her 5 year old in with her for the entire day. The kid "camps...

AITA for not paying to save "my" dog's life after my mom ruined its health?

When I (22F) was 11, the family dog d*ed. I was very sad and repeatedly asked my parents to get a new one. They finally agreed, on the condition that I'd be responsible for it and take care of it. That's how I got Mickey, the cutest C**ker Spaniel and best boy ever. I did take care of him. I took him for a walk every day. Started spending my own money to buy him food. I was so motivated wit...

AITAH for telling my ex boyfriend's daughter, "It's not my problem." ?

I (38f) dated John (40m) for about 6 months (we had known each other for a year before we started dating). We broke up 3 months ago. The reason for the breakup was because of his daughter, Tia (16f). From the very beginning she was hostile towards me. Rude comments. Putting me, my cooking, etc down. Constantly referring to me as "that b**ch". She said I was the reason her parents broke up. ...

AITA for pointing out that my brother lives a very privileged life?

My [45m] older brother [51m] lives with me. He's never really been "good at life". He's had a few jobs here and there, but mostly just stuff like Walmart, McDonald's, and he delivered pizzas for about a month. He's never held down a job for more than 60 days. He dropped out of High School, and never bothered to get a GED, let alone any college/trade school. He mostly just sits in his room drin...

AITAH for not bringing my wallet to dinner with my friend to teach her a lesson?

Last night, I (28, F) went to dinner with a close friend and decided to leave my wallet at home. She has a habit of “forgetting” hers when we go out, leaving me to foot the bill. I thought this time, if she conveniently forgot again, it might finally push her to take responsibility. I felt like I was being taken advantage of and I was completely fed up. As expected, when the check came, she...

My son and ex tried to lecture me on child support so I sent them the bills

My son (17) asked me for a new gaming system and I said no because he already has plenty of gaming systems and games and doesn’t need more. If he wants one he can save up and buy one. He then comes to me with a budget on how we can “afford” the system. It was mostly just that if I buy nothing for myself for 2 months, we’ll have enough for the system. I told him h**l no, it’s offensive and if he...

AITA for making my daughter sleep in a tent

I (34F) am a single mother to two girls, 'Jasmine' (16F) and 'Jessica' (14F). Their dad d*ed when I was pr****nt with Jess, and I had to work hard. We hit rock bottom, and I was barely making paycheque to paycheque but I managed to get a degree, become successful and we live well. Point is, I know how f**king hard it is to be at the bottom of society, and my daughters know this, which is why I...
