I Asked My Wife to Get a Job Now That I’m Retiring and She Called Me Ungrateful

My wife(37F) and I(37M) have been married for 15 years. We have two kids who are now 14 and 12(the eldest isn't mine), both in school from 730-3pm, the bus picks them up from the front of our house and drops them off. Sometimes they'll have afterschool activities and stay until 5pm and i'll go pick them up after i get out of work on those days. They're becoming more independent now, and I h...

Wife wants me to print a 150 page recipe book on a work printer. I don't want to. AITAH?

My wife put in a lot of effort to compile a set of recipies for our dinner cookbook. I contributed by helping her combine 50+ 1 or 2 page recipes into a single PDF document. She wants me to use a work printer to print the book. I don't feel comfortable doing this because (1) I'm part of an IT committee that's looking into misuse of company resources and (2) I don't like being a hypocrite. Her ...

My boyfriend wants me to become a housewife when we get married yet I've got big career goals.

We've been dating for 4 months and one thing that makes our relationship strong is that we have the common goal of marriage. I am 26 and he is 22. This is an interracial relationship as he is from Eastern Europe and I am from Southern Africa. We love each other more than anything. He has a really well paying job and me, not really, as I am just getting started in my career so I don't earn much...

Coworker ate my daughter’s custom birthday cake and now my boss is mad at me

It's my daughter's birthday this weekend. I had to pick up her birthday cake yesterday before work so I put it in the shared fridge with the intention to take it home when I knocked off. Although we have had a few incidents with stolen lunches, I didn't think it would be an issue. It was a custom made birthday cake with my kid's name on it afterall. So you can imagine my shock when I went t...

AITAH for telling my coworker to stop eating my lunch?

I’m 30M, and I work in a small office with like 10 people. I always bring my lunch from home usually leftovers I cook myself, and I label it with my name in the fridge. Lately, my coworker “Jen” (34F) has been eating my food, like 3 times in the past 2 weeks! First time, she said she “thought it was hers” even tho it had my name on it I let it slide but told her to be careful. Then it happened...

AITA for making my entire office jealous after they "forgot" to include me in the group lunch order again?

I (27F) have been dealing with a petty but annoying situation at my office. Every Wednesday, someone collects orders for this amazing local pizza place that doesn't deliver. They make the best pizzas in town - wood-fired, fresh ingred*ents, the works. The catch is they require a minimum of 5 pizzas for a takeout order. For the past THREE MONTHS, I keep getting "forgotten" when they take ord...

AITAH For Refusing To Work Thanksgiving So My Co-Worker Can Celebrate With Her Kids?

28F. I recently got engaged and have been at my current job for a little over two years now. I love my job, and feel honored to do it, but one downside is that we’re needed 365 days a year and so it’s common to work on holidays. The general rule is that individuals who are new are first in line to work on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There’s also an informal expectation that individuals without ...

AITA for refusing to buy my spoiled teenage daughter expensive Chick-fil-A, boba, and $300 Shoes and telling her to get a job?

I 34M have a 16 year old teenage stepdaughter that's become unbearable ever since she got TikTok. She wants Chick-fil-A three times a week, boba every other day,those "aesthetic" overpriced shirts and pants and it's all pretty expensive. She says things like "well my friends dad buys her everything she wants." Yesterday she had a meltdown in the parking lot because I wouldn't buy her a $50 ...

AITA for making my coworker a separate meal after she insulted my cooking?

I work in a small office where we do a potluck-style lunch once a week. I love cooking, so I usually bring som**hing homemade. For context, I’m Thai, and a lot of what I make has strong flavors think: garlic, fermented fish sauce, chili, shrimp paste, that kind of thing. Most of my coworkers love it. Kate, though, has always been... weird about it. She’s made little comments before, like, "...

AITA for calling out my husband’s coworker at his corporate party for flirting with him right in front of me?

Last weekend, my husband’s company held a big corporate party. This was the first time I was meeting his colleagues, so I wanted to make a good impression. We sat down at a table with his team, and everyone seemed nice at first. But as the night went on, I noticed one of his female coworkers across the table glancing at my husband a lot. She kept catching his eye, holding it a bit too long, an...

AITA for telling my coworker he should teach his daughter tact?

I (32F) work in an office with my coworker Ken (40M) who has a daughter Esme (15F). Ken and I are friendly, we've worked together for a few years now and over the last year maybe I have been trying to open the door with som**hing romantic. I was being very obvious, but it never went anywhere, and I thought that it was because he was clueless. A few weeks ago Esme came with Ken's dad to bring l...

AITA for refusing to cover my coworker’s shifts after she called me lazy for not having kids?

I (28F) work full-time in retail, and as anyone who’s worked retail knows, it can be pretty exhausting. I’ve got a busy life outside of work, trying to balance my hobbies, taking care of my apartment, seeing friends, and just taking care of myself. You know, normal adult stuff. I don’t have kids, but that doesn’t mean I’m lounging around with endless free time. One of my coworkers, Sarah (3...
