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...

AITA for not showing up to the birthday party that my husband planned for me?

My husband is a jokester and a prankster. He has a habit of pulling pranks especially on my birthdays! He judges my reactions as "overreactions" and says I should loosen up and be extra happy because he thinks he's making my birthdays extra funny. But it actually upset me and put me in a posituon where I get laughed at and recorded by his family. He planned for my 26th birthday this past we...

AITA for giving my son a bill for half his expenses?

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...

AITA for leaving a bad review on a small store

So my boyfriend and I have a tradition for our anniversary that we each go to a store and separate, and after we buy each other gifts we exchange in the car. It’s silly and cute. We walked into this new mom & pop anime store (I am a huge anime nerd and my boyfriend likes video games which they also sell). We separate and I go look at stuff for my boyfriend. A worker walks up to me and starts...

AITAH for refusing to give my inheritance to my mom after she disowned me for marrying my husband?

I (31M) have had a rocky relationship with my mom, Kara. Growing up, she was very set in her beliefs about same-s*x relationships and race. She would often say things like, “I don’t hate anyone, but I wouldn’t want my son living that way,” and “I raised you better than this.” Five years ago, I came out as gay and introduced her to my then-boyfriend, now-husband, Marcus (36M), who is Black. The ...

AITAH For telling the lady 2 seats behind me on a plane she was screaming the whole flight?

At the airport now. The lady 2 seats behind me on the flight was talked extremely loud the entire flight. I had earplugs in and it was piercing my ears. After the flight landed the lady across the aisle from me looked terrified and said they’re on her next flight. I got up and walked back and said, “you guys are flying to Florida next right? You may want to consider being a little more quie...
