AITA for making my daughter and her wife sleep in different rooms?

My daughter (31F), her wife (33F) and their son (5M) live in a different state. I (60F) always am the one who goes to visit them in their house because of my DIL's busy work schedule. My daughter said she wanted to come and see me and her old friends with her family. They are currently renovating their house (they have a house in our city and usually stay there when they rarely do come over) and ...

AITA for sleeping in my daughter’s room after my husband told her she couldn’t have me at night and telling him off?

Our daughter is 5 and she’s been having trouble sleeping recently due to nightmares and us moving. She asked her dad if she could have me at night and he said no. She tried to negotiate with him and asked for one night and told him she was scared, but he told her she couldn’t as I needed to sleep with him at night. Even though she was crying, he didn’t back down. When I asked her what was wrong...

AITA for snapping at my boyfriend for leaving the toilet seat up?

This sounds so ridiculous but it happens way more often than you might think. Me (29F) and my boyfriend (40M) have been living together for about two years now, and he has an awful habit of leaving the toilet seat up, especially at night. I wake up a couple times at night to p*e thanks to a weak bladder, and every second counts when I'm hustling through the dark and trying not to trip on my cats. ...

AITA for telling my wife that if she wants to dictate sleep schedules for our kids, she is welcome to be a SAHM?

My wife and I (both early 30s) have two sons, an 8yro and a 2yro, and we are also raising her niece (5yro) currently, because her parents are in rehab. I'm a SAHD and my wife works. When we had our oldest, my wife was a SAHM for a little over a year, and then she decided to go back to work. She makes more money than I do, and I was really happy to spend time with our son, so I agreed to stay home...

My nephews destroyed all three toilets and my husband kicked me out for being mad about it

My husband’s brother (my BIL) and his two kids (13/m and 8/m) were staying with us for christmas. They’ve had a rough year because his wife d*ed in March. The kids are a handful because of it, but I’ve been trying to be gracious. Yesterday was my last straw, and I need a gut check for if I overreacted. I got home from work yesterday and discovered the ground floor toilet is cracked and leaking wa...

AITA for not flushing my boyfriend’s s**t in the toilet

My (28 F) boyfriend (29 M) live in an apartment that has 2 bathrooms. I don’t really know what is wrong with the toilets/plumbing but it will require at least 2 flushes to get your s**t down fully. I know this is a fixable problem but I am perfectly content holding the flusher down, watching my poo go down before I release, and then flush again if needed when I evacuate my bowels. Rarely, if at ...

AITA For telling my husband it's disgusting he doesn't wipe after going to the bathroom?

I (39 F) have a husband who we'll call Adam (37 M) who is Indian-Saudi Arabian American and this will be relevant later on in the story. I am Swedish-American. Adam and I got married 7 months ago, and we only moved in together after we got married due to Adam's religious reasons. Three weeks into our marriage, everything was absolutely flawless. Until this one issue started to appear. Adam doesn'...

Dad-To-Be Rejects Wife's Unique Baby Names, Causing Tearful Conflict Over Naming Their Child

My wife and I are expecting our first child in the coming months and we have chosen not to find out the s*x until the baby is born. Things are starting to feel very real now so we’ve started to properly discuss names, but we’ve realised we both have vastly different tastes in name style and we are having a hard time finding the right one. My wife likes names that are out there and unique but I fi...

AITA for not cleaning the toilet my husband blew up?

I'm writing this because I'm standing my ground based on principle but not sure I'm totally right. So my husband and I have separate ch**es that we've taken on in our relationship and part of mine has always been cleaning the bathrooms. He's never picked up a toilet brush in his life, and I'm usually perfectly fine with doing my part. I cleaned it before we left for dinner tonight and all was we...

I (24f) am currently staying with my dad at his summer house. My dad’s wife Monica is also here. To be clear, neither Monica nor I have jobs. Monica has always had an issue with my unemployment. According to my dad she thinks it shouldn’t be the case and that my dad should pressure me to get a job, which he has declined to do. She has made the odd thinly veiled comment about it which I’ve ignore...

AITA for leaving my husband in the grocery store because he started acting like a toddler?

Sometime in the last year, my husband has picked up a habit where he talks like a baby. At first it was funny, but pa*sed into embarra*sing, cringeworthy behavior quickly. Examples: doggo, pupper, woofer/subwoofer, pibble, hooty-boy, p*epo, birb, meowmeow, sammy, sammiches, sammywhammy, chicky nuggies, chicky tend*es, adding a toddleresque "lisp" to words, and the ones that really get gross are c...

AITA for yelling at my mom's husband in public?

Background: My dad d*ed when I was 7 years old. My mom remarried when I was 9. I'm now 16. My mom's husband, which is what I call him because I do not feel he deserves the t*tle of stepdad or dad, came into the relationship with some clear jealousy. He told my mom to take down all the photos of my dad in our house, bringing up that it felt like dad's house vs his, even though mom and I had moved p...
