AITA for becoming “that parent” by causing a stink at my daughter’s school?

My daughter, Cleo (11) is very active outside of school. She plays soccer, takes swim lessons and will play outside a lot with neighborhood kids. She’s very social. Most of her friends are from outside of school. At school, however, she struggles making friends. Cleo has ADHD and was bullied in 3rd and 4th grade for some of that. While it was brought under control by 5th (current grade), these ...

AITA for skipping New Years Eve at my child free sisters?

Last week I hosted Christmas for my family. I (33M) have a 2 year with my wife. Every year its at my sister, parents, or my house and it rotates every year. One of us hosts Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years. In the last year my sister, who is vocally child free, got a dog. I love my sister, but we are very much opposites. When I had my kid it changed our relationship a bit. She tolerates (her w...

AITA for not wanting to invite my autistic sister to my art show?

I (18f) got into this prestigious art show that I am really excited about. It opens up on Friday and there's going to be a party, but I didn't tell my family because I didn't want my sister (24f) to come. Long story short, my sister's autistic. She's really smart (she went to an Ivy League School!) but does not do well with social cues. Usually, this leads her to belittling me and being mean. ...

AITA for reading my teenage daughters diary?

I (m35) have a 16 year old daughter. I’ve been a single father since she was about 3 years old as I got sole legal custody due to some addiction issues her mother has. We have a really good relationship, but I always worry about her not having a woman to talk to. Over the past few months she hasn’t really seemed to be herself, I know she went through a bad break up but I’ve been worried it’s mo...

AITA for ordering fried pork intestine at a Chinese restaurant my GF took me to?

Me (24M) and my girlfriend (23F) of two years went out to an asian restaurant yesterday. I’m a white guy, she’s asian, and she had been saying all before we went how I shouldn’t be afraid to try the real Chinese food that they have there, and I kept saying I was looking forward to it because I love trying new things, but every time I said that she just raised an eyebrow and went “we’ll see…” We...

AITA for denying my fiance's request to pay for his brother and his wife's IVF using my inheritance money?

I f32 have recently inherited money from my mom. she was only parent and losing her is beyond devastating. The money can barely be called inheritance because my mom and her family didn't have much but it's better than nothing. my fiance at first said I deserved it and have the right to do whatever I wanted with it. However, he told his whole family about and then his infertile brother and h...

AITA for not accommodating my brother in law during my birthday dinner and telling him his taste wasn't my priority?

I (26f) recently had a birthday. Some family and I went out to dinner to celebrate. The guests were me, my husband, my parents, his parents, my two brothers and sister, and my husbands brother. My brother in law is weird about eating out. He'll only order a burger or fries and chicken nuggets in a food place, no matter how fancy, no matter how much choice there is. He goes so far as not even lo...

AITA for helping my girlfriend’s maid clean?

I’m visiting my girlfriend’s family for the first time and they’re kind of rich. They have a maid who comes and tid*es up for a bit every day. My family isn’t broke, but we’ve never had people working for us, and it made me super uncomfortable. Like, who am I to have someone serving me and cleaning around me while I sit there? I can’t imagine if my mom were witnessing that. She’d flip. ...

AITA for refusing to do anything that my girlfriend wanted me to during my two weeks off work?

I (29m) have lived with my girlfriend (32f) for just under a year. We've been seeing each other for three years and change. Recently I earned a promotion at my work. I've worked my b**t off for this promotion for several years and have barely taken any time off during that duration. When I found out about my promotion--and that they wouldn't actually need me for my new role for about a month--I...

AITA for not helping to pay for my sister's college, even though I could easily afford to?

I'm 29, my sister is 27. We're polar opposites. I've always worked hard and taken risks to succeed. My sister has always slacked off and never put any real effort in to succeed. She tried attending college but spent all her free time partying/smoking pot/sleeping around and ended up failing half her courses in her first year and dropped out. Recently she decided she wants to go back to unive...

My husband and I don’t mind if they bring meat or animal products inti our house, but *we* won’t cook them. Therein lies the problem for Thanksgiving. We have foods such as mushroom gravy, meatless dressing, etc. I offe...

AITA for not following my husband's new religious beliefs?

I (28F) and my husband (29M) met in college and have been married for 6 years. My husband was raised in a strict evangelical household but broke away from those beliefs around the time we met. We had what I thought was a very happy marriage until my husband's father pa*sed away in early 2021 (he received a cancer diagnosis and was gone a few weeks later). My husband was and is, very understand...
