AITA for not punishing my daughter for cursing and telling my husband my decision is final and he doesn't get a say this time?

I have a 9 (almost 10) year old daughter who got her first period recently. It was kinda a shock to see her get one so early. I never had the mensuration talk with her and we sat down for it. I didn't even get to say much. I just said that it's a natural process and that it's gonna happen every month for the next 40 years and she yelled "F**k this s**t" and went to her room. I have never hea...

AITAH for... letting som**hing happen with my wife and my nephew?

My wife (30s) and I (40s) have been married for a while. We've had an open aspect to our marriage for some time, som**hing we've always discussed and navigated carefully. It's usually with other couples or people we don't have a strong personal connection with. My nephew (19) has been staying with us for a few weeks. He's a good kid, trying to figure things out, and we were happy to help him ou...

My dad kicked me out for his new wife, now he's lonely and wonders why I won't forgive him

When I was 15, my father married a woman I just could not get along with. And there was a lot of friction with her daughter as well. Eventually, the fighting got so bad that my father told me that he would exercise his custody at my grandparents house instead, effectively banning me from his own home. I said thanks but no thanks and stopped seeing him as per the custody schedule. He did m...

AITA for refusing to cook the kind of food my husband wants?

I was overweight when I met my husband (M41). Before I started working from home, I (F28) didn’t really care about how healthy our meals were, focusing mostly on comfort food, which my husband loved. Since working from home, I gained two extra hours daily without a commute and started exercising. My family has a history of high blood pressure, making my decision to get in shape urgent. My ...

AITAH if I left my husband at the ER overnight?

I (29f) and my husband (31m) were visiting his family in another state for a cousin’s wedding. We’ve been married 3 years, no kids yet. My husband likes to drink, and at the reception he definitely overdid it, taking shots with his cousins and ignoring the fact I asked him to slow down because we had to drive back to our Airbnb. Long story short, he ended up tripping over the curb outside the v...

My husband missed our daughter's birth because he was too busy gaming to focus on my labor

I was in labor for 26 hours and was in a lot of pain as I didn't take an epidural. My husband was constantly on the phone either playing games or talking with his 'bros' being really loud. When I asked him to please hang up, he'd hang up the phone and then like 10 minutes later call them back. He really wanted to talk to them because his friends went on a boys trip without him because I asked ...

AITA? For telling my brother and his wife that I will be suing them for selling the nursery I gave them?

I (f36) lost my 3 year old son from a chronic condition that he was born with. I struggled a lot with his illness and received a lot of support from my family when my ex husband was too busy with work than care for his son. When my brother and his wife found out they were expecting (they suffered from a miscarriage after a miscarriage) and because of their financial situation I decided to lend ...

My Girlfriend Said Hugging My Little Sister Is Weird So I Stopped And Now My Brother Is Fuming

I (34M) have two siblings, a brother (30M) and little sister (23F). When we were younger, our mom had a rule that every morning and before we went to bed, we should give each other a hug, believing it made siblings cl**er. Eventually, around the time I went to college, my brother (Paul) and I stopped hugging every day because I found it awkward. However, up until now, I would hug my sister (Ab...

AITA for telling my son's African American girlfriend that she can a wig even if my son doesn't want her to ?

I'm (37f) a white woman, out of my depth on this topic, and too scared to ask anyone who is African American face-to-face. My son's (14m) first girlfriend is an African American girl (13f), who we'll call Nina. Usually, when I see her, she's a bubbly social b**terfly. She smiles a lot and is very talkative. Recently, I noticed Nina seeming less confident the times I see her. Her change in d...

AITAH for refusing to pay for my wife friend’s meal after she called me cheap

My wife and I went out to dinner with her best friend last night. I offered to cover my wife’s meal and mine, but her friend just a*sumed I’d pay for hers too. When the check came, I put down enough for the two of us, and she looked at me like I had three heads. She laughed and said, “Wow, I didn’t realize you were that cheap.” I smiled and said, “I didn’t realize you were that ent*tled.” She t...

AITA for keeping no contact with my sister after her husband (my ex) d*ed?

When I (22f) was 14 I started dating Jace who was 15 at the time. We were together for 3 years. We'd known each other for years and I always had the biggest crush on him. My sister Lauren (23f now) knew. She was one of my best friends and I thought we'd told each other everything. But Lauren and Jace were cheating behind my back and Lauren got pr****nt.
