AITA for stopping my family from seeing my daughter when I'm just a teen mom?

I (16f) have a daughter with my boyfriend (17m). She's 4 months old. We live together at his family's house right now. We go to school online and we both work part time to have money. His family have been amazing. This all started a couple of weeks ago. My sister (30) asked if she could take my daughter out for a few hours and my boyfriend and I agreed. We applied sunscreen, put a hat on he...

AITA for blaming my 14yo sister's pregnancy on my parents?

I am a teenage girl living in Italy with extremely religious parents, and a now 26 week pr****nt 14 year old sister. My parents raised us with no knowledge of s*x, and did everything they could to ensure that we couldn't learn about s*x in school (such as removing us from school in days s*x education was performed, and going as far as to remove me from cla*s whenever I had biology in my later s...

AITA for planning to terminate my pregnancy despite my roommate's objections?

I (23F) recently ended a friends-with-benefits situation with my roommate (28M) after about 8 months. A couple months ago, I had to stop taking my usual birth control due to some nasty side effects, and while I was figuring out alternatives, my roommate told me he was infertile due to complications from cancer treatment in his teens and that we didn't need to worry about condoms. After we stopp...

AITAH for not taking my fiancé’s kid to trick or treating and went to a Halloween party instead

I (F, 29) is engaged to my fiancé (M, 35). My fiancé has a 7-year-old son from a previous relationship. His ex got pr****nt on their first date due to a broken condom, and they tried to make it work for the sake of the baby. She eventually left him when their son was 2, and I met my fiancé about a year later. His ex can be very difficult, and my fiancé avoids confrontation because he’s terrifi...

AITAH for "getting his hopes up" and then telling him i had an abortion and serving divorce papers?

I've hit my breaking point. I hit it a while ago but I totally snapped. I have a surgery that will make my entire life so much easier. It's needed but not an emergency so I've been on the wait list for a couple months and probably still will be until March. Anyway my soon-to-be ex-husband has known about this surgery since like the first couple weeks of this year. I begged him to get snipped; m...

AITA for refusing to get my in laws anything for Christmas to prove a point to my husband?

Been together 9 years(29f/30m), have 2 kids. I absolutely adore my in laws. They are fantastic people and I get along with them swimmingly. My family is far from perfect and raised me in a very toxic environment so having positive people like my in laws in my life has been a god send. However, because my husband knows how toxic my family was when I was growing up, he refuses to include them in ...

I've Been Trying For A Baby For A Year And My Fiance Just Told Me He Got Someone Else Pr****nt

I feel like I’m going to throw up typing this. I don't know who I’m even marrying anymore. We’ve been engaged for 8 months. The wedding is in September. We’ve been trying for a baby for a year and nothing has happened. I've been tracking everything and testing ovulation. I even gave up caffeine, and I love coffee. He was 'supportive' the whole time. He told me I was stressing too much and th...

AITA for ‘forcing’ my son to be a father after he got a girl pr****nt?

My son is 21 years old and got a girl from work pr****nt. Needless to say, I am incredibly disappointed in him and when he told me I was devastated he’d make such a silly mistake. I asked him about an abortion and he broke down and told me he’d worn a condom and he was hoping she’d abort but to no avail. I have met the future mother of my grandchild in a very awkward meeting one day and it’s cl...

AITA for telling my husband that he created this mess and he needs to fix it?

My husband and I always planned on having kids. It ended up happening a couple of years before we planned due to a condom breaking. I didn’t mind though, I was super happy to welcome our daughter, “Belinda”. A few years later, we started trying again for a second but it took us a little bit to conceive and we ended up having to use IVF. The doctors never figured out why I couldn’t get pr****nt...

AITA for kicking a family out of our condominium pool just because they don't live here?

I was enjoying my coffee poolside at our condominium on a Sunday morning. A mother and her two kids arrived who were clearly not residents because they drove up with all of their pool stuff in their car and changed into their bathing suits in the bathroom. A resident would just walk here (the a*sociation isn't that big) and would have changed in their unit. It's been almost 100 degrees for ...

AITA for refusing to stop seeing my granddaughter dispite my son's wishes

My son(40) is what people call a "lad*es man". I had no problem with it until last year when he got a girl (20) pr****nt because he said that condoms don't work for him so they had unprotected s*x. When he found out about the baby he blocked the mom and ghosted her for a month. He came to tell me about it one his baby's mom reached out again saying that he didn't have to care for the baby, but...
