AITA For going off on a lady for calling the cops on me? WIB if I reported her?

I'm Black. My husband is white. He has a sister, who has a 3-year-old daughter who LOVES me, and who I think isn't too bad herself. My niece is equal parts terror and lovely, but mostly with me lovely. We hang out a lot to give my SIL a break, and my husband doesn't really "get kids" so it's often 1x1. I was out with my niece at a kid's playplace/mall for kids, and she was more terror than ...

AITA for giving the silent treatment after my gf's son spilled in my car?

I got a new car earlier this year and its the first big item I've bought for myself. It's my baby and I take good care of it. This weekend I had to drive to town B for work. To get to town B I have to drive through town A which is where my girlfriend's mother is so my gf asked if I can give her[my gf] and her son a ride there to visit her mother. We left yesterday and before leaving I reminded...

AITA Found out mid-dinner that the guy we were with had slept with my GF

My GF (39F) invited me (M42) to go to a dinner party at her friend's house last night. I knew they had met on a dating app and she had said they went on one date but decided to be friends instead. They hang out from time to time and I had met him once before about a year ago right after we started dating. I have no reason to believe anything is going on right now but this is not the only ex sh...

AITA for locking my roommates girlfriend out of my room and bathroom?

I 21M share an apartment with another guy John (22M). John started bringing his GF Macy around a couple months ago. Which I didn’t have no problem with. She’d just stay here couple nights a week. Problem started happening over a month ago. Macy came to my room once and asked if she could use my bathroom (apartment has a bathroom in each individual room) because John’s is a f**king mess. I’v...

AITA for not expecting my daughter to pay for her brother/my younger son's wedding after she was disinvited due to fiancée?

I have a son (John, 28M) and daughter (Rita, 31F) and both are on OK terms with each other. Ever since my husband pa*sed away, nearly a decade ago, Rita has stepped up and taken care of all of us, financially. She's funded a huge portion of John's life and helped him get a job without debt. She's let me live with her in her house and is very, very soft-spoken and calm. Recently, John propos...

AITA for refusing to stop calling my daughter 'my love'

My (28f) older sister (33f) has a habit of making everything about her, which has been true our whole lives, as we are 2 of 4 siblings. For example, at my wedding four years ago, she had a major fight with her significant other and then announced a pregnancy. Two days later, she revealed it was a false alarm and she was just late. When I announced my pregnancy, she announced she had broken up ...

He doesn't make as much bit he has a trust fund so he works sort of as public service. It's big in his family. Recently I had a weird conversation with him and his folks. They think after the ...

AITA for calling a woman fat?

I am a woman in my thirties and I have a daughter in fifth grade. In order to pick up your kid you have to go inside the school and line up outside the cla*srooms. So when pick her up I make small talk with a lot of the parents while waiting in line. My daughter has been going to this school since kindergarten and has been friends with the same group of girls. Naturally over the years I’ve beco...

AITA for asking my boyfriend to quit his sport?

I (23f) have been with my boyfriend (28m) for about two years. He has played rugby for the entirety of our relationship and started about a year before we met. Every Sat**day “is rugby day” where he wakes up- watches a game- plays a game with his team- and then watches another game after- usually followed up by highlight reels on YouTube until he goes to bed. He has a two hour practice every T...

AITA for telling my MIL if she keeps rearranging my Kitchen she can get a hotel room?

I (29F) am married to a wonderful man (30M) who is also the brother of my best friend. Our heights are very different; I am 6'6" and he is 5'7". All of his family are on the shorter side, which led to adjustments in our living arrangements. We realized early on that it was easier for him to use a step stool to reach things in the kitchen than for me to constantly crouch, as crouching gets pain...

AITA for being the reason my friend’s daughter had to go to the hospital?

I know the t*tle sounds horrible but I don’t know how else to put it. I am not a very busy person. I don’t start college until September and I don’t have a job, so not much to do. A few weeks ago my friend Alice (22F) came to my door with her daughter Milly (3F) and told me she really needs me. Apparently she had an emergency to attend to and she needed an urgent sitter. She didn’t reall...

AITA for flipping out on my sons school after they lied to him about donation prizes?

Son is in 4th grade. School is only open on Mondays. The rest of the week he is home with me. They dont do virtual learning during the rest of the week. No zoom calls are made. No teacher actually checks in. Homework at home is not to be sent back to the school and instead they get a participation grade the following week if they tell their teacher they completed it. Its backwards and your stu...
