AITA for refusing to take an allergy pill every day so my wife and kids can have a pet?

I’m allergic to cats and don’t want to deal with the ha*sle of a dog. My wife and kids have been begging for a pet for years, but I really don’t want to take allergy medicine just to be able to live in my own home (I don’t take any medicine) and I feel like a dog would be very restrictive to our already extremely busy lifestyle (and unfair to a puppy). I shut it down every time they bring it u...

AITA demanding my husband to pay back the money that he'd been secretly taking as "rent" from my disabeled sister who's living with us?

My f30 sister f23 is disabled, she can't work because of her imobility but receives benefits (SSDI) due to her disability. She used to live with our mom who pa*sed away 8 moths ago. It'd been hard for us, I took my sister in to live with me and my husband. Note that my husband doesn't take any part of her care whatsoever, moreover he started complaining about my sister from time to time. She...

AITA for preemptively buying my wife tampons

So I don’t track my wife’s period but I’ve been with her long enough to get a sense of where it falls every month. She keeps them in the cabinet with the toilet paper, and I saw she only had one left. So when I went shopping today I picked up a package because her period is “coming up”. Figured I’d be nice. Anyway when I got home and she saw them she got upset and said it was weird that I did i...

AITA for asking my wife to accommodate my autistic friend's needs?

My (34m) good friend (27m) is on the spectrum. I don’t know if how I’m speaking about this will come across as offensive, but he’s on the less severe side of things. He’s verbal and can read social cues decently well. The only “tells” are his stims (he rocks almost constantly if he’s sitting still, a few verbal stims, etc.) and his aversion of a few sensory related things. It’s not som**hin...

AITA for not downgrading the family pre-feast hike on Christmas for my son’s girlfriend?

Ever since I can remember, our family has always gone on a hike the morning of Christmas. We did it all through my childhood, my husband’s family did it, my friend’s families are similar, though for some it’s just a walk, or some go into the city and do an easy 5 or 10k run. My son Porter has been dating Emily for the past 6 months. I’m happy she’s going to join us. They’re coming from the city...

AITA for keeping a gift solely for my son rather than splitting it between him and my girlfriend's kids?

I’ve been with my girlfriend for four years now. I have a son from a previous relationship and she has two children of her own from her’s. My son is turning 18 very shortly and will be graduating. Pretty much since my son was born I’ve put aside money for him in a separate bank account. When I first started I was never able to add much to it, but I worked my a*s off and made sacrifices in order...

Man Checks Out From Performing Parental Duties To His Stepkids After Wife Reminded Him That He Isn't Their Dad

My wife and I have been married for about 4 years. She brought 3 kids from previous relationships into the marriage while I have none. They moved into my house after the marriage because I live in a better school district. Obviously we’ve had our ups and downs but overall it’s been good until a couple of weeks ago when I woke up and found a large dent running down the entire pa*senger side of ...

My wife left because I refused to punish our daughter for eating her special imported apples

My wife "Lisa" has been sick for the past couple of weeks. Her folks came over to visit (they live in another country) and brought with them some gifts and a small bag of apples. I was in the backyard while Lisa was with her folks. in about 30 minutes I hear my daughter "Alex" (16) shouting "dad dad!!" from the kitchen. I head over to the kitchen and see Alex and Lisa fighting. I ask Lisa why ...

AITA for leaving my partner's kids (9 and 13) unattended in a hotel pool to go the bathroom?

First time travelling with my partner (49M) and his two boys, 9 and 13. I get along great with the boys. They're awesome, smart, creative, funny kids. They can also be j**ks, but that's normal. I'm on the verge of becoming an official step mom, which would be a big "step" for all of us.. lately I've felt extra scrutiny from the three of them (kids and boyfriend), which makes sense. Both ...

AITA for forcing my husband to pay for my daughter's piano after he damaged it?

My husband and I have been together for two and a half years. I have a daughter, Callie, who is 13. Piano is her primary interest, and she uses it to express her feelings, especially for her deceased father. Her talent is special, and her grandparents bought her a $6000 piano which thrilled her. The whole family encourages her, but my husband believes she is being distracted from school and...

AITA for telling my wife I don't care if it's "her turn" we're not naming our son Tuesday?

My wife (28F) and I (28M) have been together since we were 14. We got married at 21 and had our daughter at 25. Last year, we were going through some marriage difficulties and decided a break would be in both of our best interests, we both just need a little time apart after being together for so long. So we split, and in this time my wife felt pretty awful about herself (I initiated the break)...

AITA for ruining my wife's work and eating the food before she could take pictures of it?

My wife runs a website dedicated for cooking and recipes. She takes pictures of food before we eat whether it's lunch or dinner and posts them on her Insta account. To be honest, I'm annoyed by having to wait so long for her to "get the perfect shot" of the food after decorating it, adding this fork and removing that salad dish. It just takes so long and I lose my appet*te from just waiting ti...
