Redditor Gets Applauded After Refusing To A*sist New Neighbor With Getting Her Two Young Kids To School

I (59M) live in a major city in Ontario, Canada. I live in a small subdivision and have 5 neighbors total on my street. For the past few years during the winter when we're getting a lot of snow or a bad storms, as I'm leaving for my overnight shift at around 8-9pm I'll put my wifes windshield wipers up on her car and do a quick walk around to my other 5 neighbors and put their windshield wipers...

AITA for refusing to make my son cut his hair to be in my brother’s wedding?

My 15-year old son was asked in January to be the ‘flower dude’ in my brother’s wedding (which will be end of this month). Since then, my STBSIL has made frequent comments to my son along the lines of “so what are we going to do about this hair?” (He has thick, curly hair that he’s been growing out for a little while now; he’s got a goal photo we’ve been showing to his hairdresser). A couple we...

AITA for forcing my d*et on my boyfriend?

I’m from France originally, and I moved to the states almost 2 years ago. Now for some reason, the food here makes me sick. Not in an “Ew, that’s gross.” Kind of way. But actually physically sick. My body seems to struggle to digest it. Whether it’s take out or fancy restaurant food. Either I can’t go to the bathroom for days, or I’m violently v**iting. I tried dealing with it for months and m...

AITA for Not Wanting to Host My Friend’s Wedding at My Farm?

I own this small farm that I inherited from my grandparents. It’s a really beautiful place...rolling hills, a big red barn, a cozy little garden, and just lots of charm. I’ve always loved it, and people who visit always comment on how perfect it is for events like weddings or parties. My friend Emma has been one of those people, and for years, she’s joked about how she’d get married here somed...

AITA for inviting my brother to my wedding, but not his wife?

I’m engaged. My fiancée is fat. She was when I met her. I’ve always found her irresistibly s*xy. Not looking for commentary or unso***ited advice on this point. My fiancée and I sent out save the dates for the wedding. My brother got one, his wife very intentionally did not. He got married last year. His wife had all my siblings’ significant others as bridesmaids, whether they were married o...

AITA for not cooking a western enough meal when having guests over?

My boyfriend (24M) and I (21F) have recently hosted a dinner at his place with some of his coworkers and their partners. He recently got a promotion at work and his friends over there were asking for a treat. I'm South Asian (Bangladeshi) and sometimes when I have leftovers from some of the traditional dishes I cook; I pack it for his lunch. Apparently many of his coworkers liked the smell and...

AITA for letting medical students observe when I'm at the gynecologist? My boyfriend was upset when he found out.

My gyno's office is in a hospital that works really closely with a couple local medical schools. Often, when I go, she's asked if it's okay if she has a medical student, or a couple, in to observe. She's always made it super clear I can say no, I've never felt any pressure. And she's only asked when I've been in for routine check-ups, not when I've been there for anything potentially sensitive....

AITA for being unwilling to compromise on a baby name?

I (31 F) am expecting my first child (gender unknown) with my husband (32 M). We have been discussing (arguing about) a name for the last 8 months and now I'm afraid there is going to be a tug of war at the hospital over the birth certificate. Stylistically we want very different things. I like "cla*sic" names. To give a few examples for a boy's name: Martin, Silas, Calvin. My husband prefers ...

AITAH for losing my s**t when my girlfriend came out as trans?

I (22M) have a girlfriend (22F) who I thought was the love of my life, but it turned out she was just using me to pacify her family. For context, we met when we were 18, and I really liked her, as she had the same interests as me and was pretty hot. I quickly asked her out, and she surprisingly accepted, which honestly should've made me question her a little but I was blinded in love I suppose....

AITA for telling my husband he is either married to me or his co-worker?

My (37f) husband (40m) has been working at his company for 10 years as a maintenance supervisor. About a year ago they hired Tabitha* to work in their accounting department. Since the day she first started working there, she has had an infatuation with my husband that is now becoming unprofessional and inappropriate. This started when the heat went out in her office. My husband's job as supervi...

AITA for quitting on my friend because she won the lottery?

I've been the sole babysitter for a friend since their child was born 3 years ago. I don't get paid supremely well, below minimum wage ($60/6hr when minimum would be $84/6hr) but it's still been agreeable because it's easy money and I can study while I'm there. My friend is also not particularly well off (or wasn't as you'll soon read) so I was throwing them a bone by being lenient on the wage...

AITA for refusing to call my sister’s baby by his ‘full name’?

So, my (27M) sister (30F) recently had a baby, and she and her husband chose a very elaborate name for him—think som**hing like Maximilian Octavius Peregrine (not the actual name, but close in vibe). It’s a mouthful, and while it’s cool and unique, everyone in the family has naturally started calling him “Max” for short. Well, my sister is furious about this. She insists that he should alwa...
