AITA for telling my employees they are not required to and can not be required to out pronouns in their email signature?

I'm a low level manager at my job. Recently two girls on my team put "she/her" in their email signatures. I shrugged. Then they sent out an email to the whole team asking us to do it. I sent out another email reminding everyone they are not required to under any company policy and it would be a v***ation of our state's anti-discrimination law to compel any employee to reveal their s*xual orien...

AITA for telling my foster sister she ruined Mother’s Day

I’m (17f) the youngest of 6 kids. I’m the only one still at home full time and my parents decided the house felt too empty so they started fostering Lola (9) a few months ago. Lola’s cute but she’s kinda a pain in the a*s. We have a big sectional recliner. Lola refuses to sit on the couch with us so she has her own chair that is off limits to everyone else. If I want to go out to eat it has to ...

AITA for using 'insulting' wallpapers for my phone's home screen after my coworkers kept touching it?

So I (M28) started working at this company for 6 months. My guy coworkers are decent. However, I noticed a pattern with my female coworkers (a couple of them) which consists of them opening/looking through my phone whenever they get the chance (me using the bathroom/meeting etc). So far I've caught them doing it 3 times. They didn't take som**hing or open any apps because I would've known but ...

AITA for saying that its my sisters fault her husband is divorcing her?

My (27F) sister (32F) is currently in the process of divorce started by her husband (40M). They were married for a total of 2 years. The problem started with BIL wanting his own biological kids (I'll explain later) and my sister not wanting them. She was always against having kids but the moment they started seeing each other, she started making certain changes about herself. He had the courtes...

AITA for kissing my ex-girlfriend before her parents pulled her off life support?

About a year ago, my ex-girlfriend (I'll call Anna) was involved in a terrible car accident. She received over 20 injuries (lacerated liver, broken ribs, punctured lung, bruised lung, left foot torn off, just to name a few). She had to be flown to the city to receive treatment. I was devastated to hear her go through this. Despite all the efforts, she was kept on a ventilator (per her parents ...

AITA for preventing my daughter from getting a new phone/allowance?

A few months ago, my daughter smashed her iPhone for a social media post. In the post, she said “it’s okay, my parents will buy me a new one.” The thing is, I definitely would have bought her a new one that same day and would have never known if it wasn’t for the fact her brother tipped me off and showed me the post. Her father and I were obviously extremely angry. We both came from rough child...

AITA for yelling at a lady who was looking into my windows to stalk her son?

I'm 19f and live at home with my family. My younger brother 'Mike' is 14. He is has a group of friends in the neighborhood that he always hangs out with, they all enjoy skating and longboarding and stuff so that's what they're doing most of the time. The boys are 14-15 and really nice kids but most of their parents are h**la weird. They have a groupchat where they're secretly supervising the b...

AITA for letting my daughter still sleep with a teddy bear?

My daughter (8) still sleeps with a teddy bear her grandmother gave her when she was 3, she's always been shy and timid and gets easily frightened, so at night she's inseparable from her bear. I (34F) have been told by a few of my extended family members at a family reunion last week that she's too old to be sleeping with a stuffed bear afterthey saw her sleeping with it in her grandmothers liv...

AITA for telling my mother-in-law that she can't control how I act in my home?

My mother-in-law moved in with us about three months ago. It's been ok. She and I are clashing personalities and cultures, and it's come up more often now that we share a similar space. She is a traditional Hispanic woman with a strong sense of decorum and family hierarchy. I am white, liberal in all ways, and agnostic about most traditions, including and especially the need to obey elders. ...

Fiancé lied and spent all of the money she was reimbursed for after her work trip that I paid for. AITAH?

My fiancé had a work trip planned to attend a conference. I decided to tag along because it was a city that I had never been to before. She informed me that her work would reimburse her after the trip once she submitted an expense report. Her credit card was completely maxed out and didn’t have enough money to cover any of the costs so I offered to help pay since she was going to be reimbursed...

AITA for being offended that my daughter called me ugly?

Yesterday at dinner, my daughter (15f) was telling my wife (40f) and I (45m) about a guy she likes in school and she thinks he likes her back. My wife and I were happy for her and I would support her liking anyone that treats her right and makes her happy. She was telling us how he’s smart, funny, and has a great 6-pack (I’m used to the girl talk). My wife laughed and said som**hing along the ...

AITA for telling my girlfriend her dream of moving to another country will never happen?

My (25M) girlfriend (23F) has always talked about how it’s her dream to move to X country. She brought it up on our first date (we’ve been together for a year and some change) and has mentioned it practically every other day since. At the beginning, I went along with it, told her how cool it would be, we talked about if I would go with her, how c**ppy our current country is (I’m an expat and s...
