AITA for refusing to babysit for my siblings anymore and telling my family they can't use me as free childcare and treat me like shit for being an unwanted pregnancy?

I (16M) have four older siblings who are 11+ years older than me. My parents were finished at four kids, my dad got a vasectomy and then six years after it my mom found out she was expecting me. She was 13 weeks when they found out and I was always told if she'd been earlier she would have aborted me. My siblings hated that our parents had another kid. They're all close enough but with me I fe

AITAH for Kicking My Parents Out of My Wedding After They Tried to Bring My Estranged Brother?

I (29M) recently married the love of my life (27F). The wedding was everything we dreamed of… except for one major issue caused by my parents. For context, I am estranged from my older brother, Luke (35M). He bullied me relentlessly throughout his childhood—verbally, emotionally, and even physically. My parents always downplayed it, brushing it off as “normal sibling stuff.” But it wasn’t.

AITA for selling my late husbands home out from under his parents?

Last year my husband died in a car accident. We were separated for about a year prior but not officially divorced, so I was named the administrator of his estate. I have my own home and I’m financially independent. We had two children together. In late summer of last year I learned that his parents were the beneficiaries and received a boat load of money. Since his death his parents have told

AITA for refusing to feed my sister's kids for free every day?

My older sister (37F) has 3 kids under 10. I (25M) don't have kids yet but I'm a junior sous-chef and I cook a lot in my spare time. During some recent time off from work my sister asked if I could babysit her kids after school for three days. I said yes. I watched the kids. She paid me for it and I thought that would be it. But then she asked me what the kids ate with me after the week had en

Getting my coworker fired after she tried to sabotage me — even though she has three kids?

Getting my coworker fired after she tried to sabotage me — even though she has three kids?

I (29F) work in a fast-paced marketing agency. I’ve been there for about four years, recently promoted to a project lead position. I’m not the kind of person to brag, but I work hard, stay late, and honestly deserve the role I got. Not everyone agreed, apparently. There’s a coworker, “Rachel” (33F), who I used to be friendly with. She was also gunning for the promotion and didn’t get it. Af

AITA for vetoing my husband's name choice for our child?

AITA for vetoing my husband's name choice for our child?

My husband and I were having trouble agreeing on a name for our daughter, so we decided we'd each pick one and then decide which arrangement sounded better to determine which name would be a first name and which would be the middle. It wasn't an in depth conversation so we didn't discuss vetoes or anything. I genuinely didn't think there would be anything he chose that I would hate that much.

AITA for telling my husband if he divorces me because of my acne and menopause I will tell our adult children his reasons ?

Menopause has been hell for me (51f). My looks have changed, with weight gain and severe acne being the most noticeable. The best acne treatments have not helped long-term. I am trying hard and failing to lose weight. My husband is very frustrated with the way I look. During a fight, he confessed that he is not physically attracted to me anymore. I told him, if he divorces me, I will tell o

AITA for banning my kids from my in-laws house because they keep forcing their religion on them?

AITA for banning my kids from my in-laws house because they keep forcing their religion on them?

I was born in Saudi Arabia. I escaped by convincing my parents I just wanted to visit family in Canada, and the moment I got the chance I sneaked out of my uncle's house and went straight to a women's shelter. They helped me apply for asylum. I am now a proud citizen of the Great White North, I even got a maple leaf tattoo the day after the paperwork was complete. I'll never forget the first t

AITA for telling my sister-in-law to stop “Playing poor” around my kids?

My sister-in-law "Lily" has been close with my family ever since her recent divorce. She’s had a bit of a rough time financially since then, so she’s really embraced the “simple life.” She often talks about how she doesn’t need much, how money is a distraction, and how “having less is freeing.” My kids are 11 and 12, and Lily’s started babysitting them sometimes. But I’ve noticed that after han

AITAH for laughing at my ex when he asked me to forgive his back child support?

My ex (M62, now) and I (F64, now) got divorced with one infant child in 1987. His support until 1992 was $50/month. He never paid this. He never worked for a pay check, only for cash. In 1992 I went to increase his support to be what he would pay if he earned federal minimum wage. He never paid. Never saw my daughter after she turned 7 in 1993, no cards, calls, nothing. Which is good and le

AITA for telling my sister who can't have kids that she does not get to be a part of naming mine and my wife's babies?

My older sister (34F) was born without the reproductive organs required to have a biological child. Because of her condition she also has some other health problems which disqualify her from adopting due to the uncertainty around her quality and length of life. She was aware for most of her life that she couldn't have biological children. That was discovered when she was still very young but t

AITA for calling the police on my dad when he stole the money that was meant for my child's birthday?

I'm 22f, I have a son who's going to be 4 next month. I'm low income so birthdays and Christmas are something I need to save for year round but I always make a fairly big deal out of them because I never had that as a young child due to my father's inability to spend money on anything that wasn't a necessity or alcohol. When I got my first job at 16, ¾ of my paycheck was taken by him to suppor
