Fed Up Dad Plasters "This Side Up" Stickers On All Of The Containers In His House After His Adult Children Caused His $80 Prescription Shampoo To Leak

I have two of my children living with me. One has graduated from college and the other is a junior. I have to purchase medicated shampoo because of a scalp condition. It is by prescription and it is expensive. it also comes in packaging that is meant to be stored upright. Not on its side and definitely not upside down. My daughter has her hair products in the shower and I do not touch them....

AITA going against my wife and letting my daughter 'ruin easter'

My wife, Lillian (48) and I (37) have 5 daughters (17, 13, 6, twins 3). Lillian and her family take clothes very seriously. They always co-ordinate their outfits when doing family get togethers and think it's important to bond as a family and photos and stuff. I personally think it's a bit silly, but I usually just go along with whatever Lillian decides. Our eldest is just like Lillian when...

AITA for leaving my husband by leaving a note on his PS5, since it’s the only thing he pays attention to?

Tiny update: Yes, Dan has seen the note. He sent me a text with just a bunch of question marks and hasn’t said anything since. For the record, I took my cat, my plants, and my self-respect when I walked out the door. Hi Dan, Since your PS5 gets more of your attention than I do, I figured I’d leave this note here. By the time you read this, I’ll already be gone. I’ve taken my things, cancel...

AITA for using "peanut repellent" to stop my sister from stealing my pretzels?

I(17F) am a person who love to snack and have a special addiction on cheese pretzels from a specific bakery. The place is rather far from my place, and since I don't drive, I would spend about an hour and half or so on bus and fro just to buy them once in a while. My younger(13F) sister loves them too, and she is always too lazy and stingy to buy for herself that she would steal from me. When s...

AITA for not putting my shirt back on?

I (19f) have been going to the gym near consistently since February this year. I've lost 18 lbs so far and while I still have 93lbs before I reach my goal, I've already gained so much strength and confidence in my body. I'm 5'7" and 255lbs. I know I'm big but I don't think it should really affect how I dress. I get sweaty at the gym and the one thing worse than a sweaty bra is a shirt that stic...

AITA for rejecting my mom and refusing to forgive her and telling her she chose to be there for her affair partner's kids over her own so she needs to deal with it now?

Two years ago my dad, my brother (13m) and I (16m) found out mom was having an affair. It shouldn't have surprised any of us. For over two years she was always busy and let us down so many times. She was so involved before. But she stopped showing up and supporting me when I was competing in swimming and she stopped asking about it, she flaked on me every time I wanted to do our record store b...

AITA for mocking my brother for getting rejected by his dream college (that I got into) because he keeps tormenting me over it?

My brother Jake (18M) and I (17F) had the same dream college, H University. Also, in case you’re confused by the ages, we’re 1.5 years apart, but I skipped a grade so we were in the same grade for nearly our entire life. Jake was way more pa*sionate about H Uni than I was. He had several H merch clothing, and kind of just a*sumed he was going there. For example, in conversations he’d say thing...

AITA for reacting angrily when my boyfriend finished an entire bottle of salad dressing in a 24 hour period?

Yesterday I purchased a bottle (a whole, normal sized bottle) of salad dressing for the meal I was planning to make. For context, I am the breadwinner in my household and buy almost all groceries, pay the mortgage, etc. I have a great relationship with my partner but I just can’t shake the fact that we had such a big disagreement over som**hing so silly. Anyways, I’m pretty normal with how I d...

I've (27) been with my husband (32) for 3 years, we're expecting our first baby together.

AITA for "throwing a tantrum" upon finding out I'm getting another sibling?

I'm 18f, I'm the middle child of 9. 7 out of the 9 of us have severe physical and mental disabilities, and I firmly believe my parents kept popping out more in order to have a healthy child they can force to help out. Those two healthy children are me and my twin brother, Jake. 9 kids, 7 of whom are severely disabled, and the other two being financially dependent on you is a lot. My parents...

AITA for pulling a harmless prank on a guy who has a crush on me?

This actually happened on Valentine’s day but I’m still getting s**t for it. Please tell me if I’m TA. I’m really good friends with this guy (we’re both 20) and we pull little pranks on each other all the time. We both started working at the same place so we see each other a lot more. Around early February we were hanging out one night and he got very drunk (he normally doesn’t get that drun...
