Man Upstages His Wife In Cookie Baking, And She Doesn't Take It Well

My (25m) wife (23f) and I have had a tradition every Christmas where we would bake Christmas cookies and frost them with out freinds. We'd then give the cookies out to freinds and family and helpers. Every year, my wife would take on the bulk of the baking duties, insisting that only she knew how to bake them "right" and only letting whoever is helping frost them. She always insisted on doing a...

AITA for declining to participate in a "meal train" for a woman with an able bod*ed husband and adult son living with her?

So some lad*es in our church occasionally send out invites for "meal trains" for people to sign up to bring meals for someone who recently had a baby or is sick or som**hing like that. I get it. It's a nice idea to help people out. I have no problem and have participated sometimes in the past. Last week a meal train was posted for a lady named "Sue" (name changed obviously) who apparently h...

Man’s Heavy Sleeping Sparks Marital Tension as Wife Cries Foul Over Being Saddled with Solo Night Shifts for Newborn

My wife (35f) and I (35m) just had our third child one month ago (4 weeks). For the first week or two my wife had to wake him up every couple hours to feed him but now we just let him sleep until he wakes up to eat. Here’s where that becomes a problem: I am a REALLY heavy sleeper. There is nothing that can wake me up short of being attacked by a bear or shaken or som**hing. It’s been that way s...

Woman Vehemently Refuses To Invite Husband’s Best Friend’s Widow For Christmas

My husband's friend pa*sed away months ago. Leaving behind his widow wife.

It didn't bother me...I mean not much but still. Now he told me that it'd be nice if we invite her to christmas dinner with us since she has no fam...

Newlywed Wife Opts to Spend Christmas with Son and Parents, Excluding Her Husband and Leaving Him Alone

I [F32] I met this wonderful man 'Philip" [M36] 2 years ago. We got married 4 months ago. For context, I have a 10 yo son "Billy" from my previous relationship and my ex isn't in the picture. I have to admit that Philip's relationship with my family isn't so great. They would disagree on a lot of things. For example, he had an argument with my dad when he said that he was keeping their grandson...

AITA for saying "F U" to my wife for her medical advice to me?

So to start, we have an 18 month old baby that we take care of, but I wake up groggy and grumpy every day and have been for decades.
