RelationshipMy girlfriend (27F), Sarah, and I (26M) have been together for three years. She is a teacher and is very pa*sionate about her career. A few weeks ago, I found photos of her on Instagram from when she was a lingerie model, some of which were n**e. When I confronted her, she said she stopped modeling before becoming a teacher and thought I already knew. I told a few of my friends, and one of the...
RelationshipI hired a babysitter for my 5 and 3 year old kids 2 weeks ago. My husband works shifts while I work long hours at a marketing company. So far we've had no issues til yesterday. I came home at 6pm and noticed the babysitter's wet hair and new clothes. She told me she took a shower after one of the kids spilled milk on her. I was confused but visibly upset but she tried to "rea*sure" me the kids...
OtherI 47m have a 22 year old daughter. She’s in college and lives on campus. I agreed to help her make car payments, since she was in school. I was recently informed by a young man I work with that my daughter strips at a club about 40 minutes away. I confronted her on this and she said she didn’t plan to do it after she graduated, and she needed some money. I told her then work at McDonalds, n...
WorkMy son is 18, He is going to be attending community college and is living with me, my husband and his 2 younger half sisters. The other day I found out that he found and accepted a job without telling me. I was upset with him about it and the reason for that is that first of all, he should've told me since we live in the same house and also, and more importantly now I'm left without someone to ...
WorkMy wife and I have three children. They are 17, 15, and 10. My oldest has no intention to do anything after high school. At least none he has made clear to us. So I gave him the same ultimatum my parents gave me. Either go to university, get a job, or GTFO. I chose to travel the world for two years. I had a lot of sailing experience and my father had a lot of friends in that community so I was ...
RelationshipI just received a decent inheritance from my grandmother who pa*sed earlier this year. We were really close. She left me around $25k, which I plan to use partly for college, partly for a car, and maybe to travel someday. Now here's the issue: I've been with my boyfriend for about 1.5 years. Things have been mostly good, he’s charming, funny, and supportive in many ways. But he’s never really ha...
ParentingI work with this girl Melissa who doesnt have a car right now because hers broke down last month. Our shifts end at the same time and she lives sort of on my way home so I started giving her rides. At first it was just supposed to be temporary until she could figure som**hing else out. The problem is Melissa is always running late leaving work. She takes forever to finish up her tasks and t...
WorkI (f27) went to a job interview for a potential job opportunity at this company. The interviewer, we'll call him "Edd*e" (30ish) welcomed me into the office and had me sit down. First thing he did was look at my CV then started asking me questions that seemed a little to personal and unrelated to the job. like if I was in a relationship, wether my eye color was "real" or just 'lenses", also as...
WorkI(29f) work as a waitress at a restaurant with a point system. It's 1 point if you are late, 3 points to call off with notice, and 5 points for calling off within 4 hours of your shift. This is fine with me as I have no points this year and have only called off once since 2018. I'm the type who covers shifts, stays late and generally just go to do my job. Last week, I ended up calling off a...
Family ConflictI’m a 19 year old F with six older siblings. My parents spent most of my childhood spending money they didn’t have on my siblings, so by the time I hit my teenage years, I realized I was probably going to have to fend for myself financially when I turn 18. I started babysitting and doing odd jobs around my neighborhood when I was 14, and eventually got part-time jobs during the school year. ...
WorkMy gf's sister voted for Trump. My gf and I were talking tonight and she was asking about how Elon got so much power. She then mentioned that her sister is afraid she's gonna lose her job because of all the cuts (public ed teacher). I said I have no sympathy for her, she voted for this. Now my gf is all p**sed off at me. AITAH for not being all sad and sympathetic that a Trump supporter is get...
