My mom worked my dad to death for money and now wants me to pay her bills

So I’ve got two other siblings and growing up my parents were mostly comfortable for a long time when we were young. My mom was a SAHM her entire life.

AITA for refusing to k**l the office spider despite one of my colleagues being scared of it?

Sometimes she disappears and sometimes she comes back. I’ve named her. I like her. My colleague Mich**le is aware of the spider, and is always complaining that it’s a pest and needs to be k**led. Recently she saw the web, not ev...

AITA for not baking an extra cupcake for my colleague?

I (24/F) love baking, and I LOVE sharing my baked goods too. I generally get along with everyone else in the office except for this one guy (36/M) , which I will call Leo (not real name) whom I wasn't on very good terms with because of the events that happened years ago when I first joined the company years ago as a fresh graduate. Leo complained that I am "lazy", hates "cleaning up after my mi...

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...

Jesse would say nothing except steer the conversation towards som**hing else they bot...
