Reddit AITA Judgment Point, 5684 E AZ-69, Kabul (2025)

14/12/2025

I live in a subdivision connected to a major road. The road out of the subdivision has a traffic light. In the morning, nearly everybody needs to turn left for work. Even if you want to turn right, you are simply stuck because there isn’t enough room for more than one car. To compound the problem, the traffic light is green for no more than 5 seconds. We MAY get 4-5 cars out legally, then you have to wait another 3-4 minutes before the light switches. As you can imagine, this causes people to run the light, swerve around somebody they thought should have gone, etc. It's a grab back of "Idiots in Cars", myself included. If you roll up to the light and see that you are 15 cars back, you know you've just added 10 minutes to your commute simply trying to get out of your subdivision. Well, because of all of our reckless driving behavior, the police communicated via our HOA that we needed to knock it off. They had a police car parked near our area every morning for a week to keep us on our best behavior. Our board tried to work with the city to lengthen the light, but to no avail. That's when a hero emerged. We get a random email to the HOA distribution list from an anonymous person. They laid out our plan for malicious compliance. There is a pedestrian crosswalk light at the before mentioned intersection that basically goes unused. In my 10 years living there, I’ve never seen it used. There just simply isn’t any pedestrian traffic. The subdivision hero devised a plan on how to use this crosswalk to our advantage. Basically, one person in their car simply needs to walk over and hit the “Push Button to Cross” and run back to their car. When to light switches, we now get 30ish seconds to alleviate our traffic jam. Everybody is joining in, and it’s hilarious. My oldest daughter got to do it the other day, and other cars in the line were rolling down their windows and cheering her on. It’s possibly the best neighborhood bonding experience possible. I’m sure our longer lights are screwing up something further down the line, but none of us really care. We’re now on our “best” behavior since we have about 5 times longer to get through the light.

AITA for not 🌍 agreeing 💁 🙆 🐼 to treat them equally?

14/12/2025

My ex and I have 2 sons that are 6 and 8. We split time 50/50, they’re with me 2 weeks a month, then with her the other 2. A couple of years ago, she began dating this guy “Saul” and they got married a few months back. I knew Saul was a vegetarian and my ex became one as well about a year into dating him. Still, she would cook meat for the boys. Once Saul moved in after the wedding, he said he didn’t feel comfortable with any meat in the house at all. I didn’t see much issue with this at first. Their home, they can do as they please. All I care about are my boys being fed and remaining healthy, which they are. Then my ex became upset that our sons are not following a vegetarian diet. At her house, they have no choice, really. But my wife and I serve a variety of foods. There’s not meat every night, but at least 3-4 times a week, you can guarantee a dish will include it. If the boys stated they wanted to become vegetarians, I would respect it and find a way to make sure they were maintaining a healthy diet. However, neither of them want to be. I’ve heard that at my ex’s, they complain that they can’t eat meat. Even if they go out, my ex and Saul will only let them order vegetarian items. In the beginning, I did try to explain different houses have different rules but eventually just let them vent. I also told my ex that this is her circus to handle, because she and Saul are making the rule. Last week was my birthday, so my wife took me and the boys to my favorite steakhouse. They went back to their mom’s on Sunday afternoon. She sent me a long rant text stating that the boys were requesting burgers and when she said no, they said “but dad let us have steak last week”. She asked that I stopped serving meat in my house and letting them order it at restaurants. I said I wasn’t going to do that unless they told me that they wanted to follow a vegetarian diet. She claims that I am making her job harder. When I told her that she’s making her own job harder, she got mad and called me an a__hole. The people I’ve spoken to are split. All agree that I should be able to feed my kids whatever (within reason) but some feel I should try to make my ex’s life easier. AITA?

My (27F) sister Rosie (31F) is dating this guy Joe. They’ve been dating for about 5 years now. About 4 years ago, Rosie decided to quit her job in tech to stay home and take care of his children. They do not have children together. During covid, Joe lost his job and had to get a much lower paying job. So he doesn’t earn much now and they struggle financially. Rosie tried getting a tech job again but she wasn’t hired at any of the jobs she applied for. I suggested that she can look for other jobs, even part time ones but she thinks it’s going to be a waste of her talents to work a random job when she has two university degrees. So although they’ve been struggling financially, she isn’t looking for any job that isn’t in tech. My problem with this entire thing is she keeps asking me for money to pay bills or make ends meet. It isn’t a whole lot, probably £200-300 a month, but it gets annoying sending her £200-300 a month when that could go into savings. I’ve been doing this for most of 2023. Recently I told her that I need to save for a holiday I’m taking with my friends this summer, so I can’t afford to keep giving her money every month. I have other savings for more important things that I can’t spend on a holiday so I have to save for it from scratch. She asked if I’d actually rather see her struggle just so I can go on holiday. Honestly this annoyed me. I told her she can get a job if she wanted to but her pickiness is the reason she is broke. Her step kids are at their mums house half the time so there’s no reason she can’t work on those days. It doesn’t have to be a tech job but literally anything will pay her more than I give her a month if she just tries. She said she sacrificed her life for her step kids and now she’s suffering financially, she can’t get her old job back and none of us (referring to me and our other siblings who she used to ask for money before me) want to help her get back on her feet. I said we’ve all helped her for years and frankly, it wasn’t us who asked her to stay home and raise those kids so I’m not sure why she’s making it our problem. I told her I can send her £300 one more time when I get paid but I won’t send anything again unless she’s in dire need. She said a lot in anger that I’m not taking personally. She claims her main issue isn’t even that I’m not sending her money anymore but that I care more about taking a holiday than about her well-being. I just don’t think it’s fair to ask me to put my life on hold just to send her money every month when she is perfectly able to get a job. Aitah?

AITA 🦆 asking my wife 🌇 to help pay 😸 👦 for private school despite separate finances

14/12/2025

This happened three years ago and my daughter "Mallory" still resents us for this. I'm asking now because my son is going to be starting the eighth grade next school year, permitting that schools will reopen again and this event isn't cancelled. At my kid's school, there is a big annual spring break trip to New York City and Washington D.C. It's something that most of the kids, including my own, were looking forward to. When Mallory started the sixth grade, she talked about wanting to go on the trip. We said she could, so long as she got good grades and didn't get into trouble. When she was in the seventh grade, her aunt Linda got engaged and set her wedding date for the following year. This was going to include a big family reunion with all the relatives because Linda was the last of my siblings to get married (big fat Catholic family), many of whom we haven't seen in years. Unfortunately, Linda planned her wedding to take place the same week as Mallory's 8th grade spring break. We ended having to tell Mallory that she couldn't go on the trip afterall because everyone was going to be going to the wedding instead. Like I said, this was going to include a family reunion, and it may be the last time we got to see some relatives including her great-grandparents for a long time. Mallory was heartbroken. We offered to take a family trip to New York, but she turned it down because she wanted to go with friends and not family. Understandable. Cut to the week of the wedding a year later. We flew out to New Mexico for the ceremony and crash at my sister's (not the bride's) house. Mallory is still upset about having to be in New Mexico when all of her friends are in New York. A few days before the ceremony was to take place, Linda called off the wedding. Mallory was furious. I can still remember her blow up. She screamed, "so I missed my trip for nothing?" and stormed off into the room she was sharing with her cousins and wouldn't let anyone in. It was a mess afterward. I tried to cheer Mallory up by offering to take her sight seeing or go see a movie with her cousins, but she refused. I gave up after she refused to go to the movies with us, saying that she didn't want to watch a 'dumb kids movie with a bunch of babies' (while she is the oldest of the cousins, the next nearest cousin in age was nine at the time). Mallory refused to speak to us during the flight back. To this day, she's still angry at her aunt Linda. I know Mallory was upset, but no one could have predicted that the wedding would be called off. We have tried to make it up to her, but she has refused every offer. I know she wants a trip with her friends, but that New York trip is expensive and many of her friend's parents were not willing to spend more money on another outing for the girls. Because of this, Mallory thinks I am an a__hole. Am I?

AITA 🐸 for not 🙋 cutting contact with all of my friends because ⚡ of 👦 🌝 🙉 my stepsister?

14/12/2025

My (38m) wife (37f) have 3 young kids including a 6mo baby who still sleeps in our room. I'm an early bird. I routinely get up at \~5:30am to enjoy a few silent moments of sanity and get some s__t done before the kids take over. My wife is a night owl and \*hates\* waking up. As a kid growing up her family nicknamed her 'The Lion' on account of her morning temperament and blonde bedhead. They would draw straws and the loser would have to get her up in the morning. This topic made it into wedding speeches and continues to be a running joke to this day. That said, she comes by this honestly these days. We're chronically sleep deprived because kids. She's on mat leave and is up 1-2x in the night nursing while I'm blissfully passed out beside her, so I don't blame her for pushing her wakeup times. I also don't blame her for staying up later, as once the kids go down around 7:30pm, then we put the house back together, then we get stuck to the couch recovering from the day, and \*then\* she might get an hour to watch TV before we do it all over again. Here's the issue: she always asks that I 1) wake her up in the morning and 2) ensure she's awake \~10min later. This has frustrated me from the start. I suggested she use a silent/vibrating phone alarm or her Apple Watch if she's concerned about waking the baby, but apparently those aren't good enough. FWIW I wear my Garmin smartwatch \*and\* a cheap $20 dumb silent vibrating alarm wristband that could wake the dead. There's been a few times where I've agreed to wake her up at a certain time, but forgot & woke her up \~15min later. It usually doesn't cause any issues but today I got her up at 7:20am instead of the agreed-upon 7:00am as I lost track of time attending to my son who woke up early. It was a particularly difficult morning with cranky kids and she snapped about how it was just too late to get up with not enough time to get everyone ready. I reached my breaking point and snapped back that moving forward I absolutely refuse to wake her up in the morning & that she's a big girl who can be responsible for herself. Since then she's made a few snide comments about random little things 'apparently being too much to ask' and says I'm being unreasonable by refusing to get her up & and make sure she's actually awake after she inevitably falls back asleep. I told her if it's not that much to ask then it should be simple enough for her to do it herself. So, AITA? I can understand infrequent critical moments like 'please make sure I'm awake so I don't miss my flight' but making me responsible for her daily wakeup times is absolutely unreasonable at best, even if kids and sleep deprivation are in the mix. **EDIT:** Sincerely did not expect this much traction! I'm glad I posted to help gain the perspective. Thanks everyone for their constructive and not-so-constructive comments. Parents will understand: this is one slice - albeit a large one - out of the overall context of parenting. When baby was taking a bottle I was up several times nightly as well. I am also primarily...

Throwaway, some details changed, mobile so formatting, etc. I (33f) live with my brother (32m) and his new wife (34f). Things have been fine to a point, and I definitely appreciate them taking me in during my time of need. That is not lost on me, I recognize they did not have to help me and I am incredibly thankful that they have done that. But my SIL has baby fever and she is talking about trying to get pregnant. First of all, I know my brother had the snip after his divorce from his first wife. He would have to have the procedure reversed and his insurance will not cover it, and to be frank they cannot afford that. Part of why they allowed me to move in is because they are in financial trouble and I am contributing quite a lot of money to bills right now. I cover probably 2/3 of all the bills because my SIL doesn't work and my brother pays an ungodly amount of child support to his ex wife. The financial issues can go ahead and be another point in the situation. My SIL also can barely take care of herself. She sleeps most of the day. She does not clean, she does not cook, she doesn't take care of the child she already has... her daughter is 6 yrs old and she doesn't even interact with her unless she HAS to. That is a totally separate issue... I have become a live-in maid and nanny on top of working 45 or more hrs a week. My SIL lost custody of her other child about 2 yrs ago. He is 11 and living with family. I do not know why she even lost custody but he SAYS he was abused. She did not fight to get him back. 2 days ago my brother told me he has an appointment to meet with his Doc to discuss the reversal so him and SIL can try for a baby... I told them they were out of their minds. It got explosive and I finally asked WHO was going to take care of a baby when my brother works full time, I work full time and she constantly makes excuses to not even do basic s__t around the house like take the dog outside. She really had the nerve to tell me "I thought you could handle them when you get off work before (brother) gets home so the load is evenly distributed." I blew up! I told her I am not going to be a parent to ANOTHER one of her kids and that if they really do this then I am totally done and they are on their own. I told my brother I would always love him and help him if he needs me but that I would never talk to SIL and make sure the rest of the family disowns her too. I think I was probably TA for saying that the way I did. She started crying and locked herself in the bedroom. My brother is threatening to kick me out and again I might be TA for this... I told him he can't afford to kick me out and he can't afford a replacement maid/nanny like I have been. I told our mom about what happened and she not only thinks I'm NTA but is now mad at my brother....

AITA for not 🐻 helping my NT 🤠 sister 🎆 with guardianship duties 🚊 of our disabled sister?

14/12/2025

Tldr my cousins and their friends April's fool pranked my wife and they pranked in the worst way possible, they pranked her by telling her that I'm cheating on her. I tried everything I could to convince my wife to forgive my cousins and forget about it but my wife didn't listen to me and still periodically checks my phone and keeps tabs on me and I think that she thinks that I'm cheating even tho I told her that I would never cheat on her and even my cousins are trying to tell her that it was a prank. A s__t one but still a prank, I told my to calm down and to not mind what my cousins said and their prank but my wife got angry and she said she didn't marry me only to find me with other women. My wife is super religious, marrying her is in itself an achievement for me and she fought hard just to marry me and I think I understand why she's so angry. I asked her what she wants me to do to calm her down, she said she doesn't like my cousins and she wants them all as far away as possible from us. I asked her if there's anything I can do to make peace between them all, she said in their religion they aren't allowed to to even talk about cheating and she's angry because my cousins are idiots and she will k__l me by her own hands if I ever cheat on her after she went through so much just to marry me. My wife said she trusts me but she's hurt by the 'prank' and she will handle it herself and I should stay away from my cousins and this overall situation. My wife is so pi**ed and I thought it would just be okay but my wife doesn't want me to interfere if it was something else my wife would listen to me no doubt but my cousins and their friends hit the nest and even if I tried to help them my wife won't let me.

My neighbours are this really lovely couple, "Charlie" and "Emily". They have 7 kids. The oldest is 17, and the youngest is 4. Only 3 of them are under 10 years old, with the rest being pre-teens/teenagers. The older kids are from Charlie and Emily's previous relationships, the younger are their shared biological kids. Big family, but Charlie is a mostly stay at home dad (trying to keep it vague but he's always only worked a couple days a month and has a lot of passive income), Emily makes a sh*tton of money, and their house has 8 bedrooms. Between their financial backing and Charlie staying at home, the kids have everything they need and they're a happy, loving family with no issues. I know this because I take care of 4 kids (my kids, 4m and 5f, and my nephews, ages 4 and 6). All of our kids go to the same school, the 4 year olds are all in the same class, and my 6 year old nephew and their 6 year old son are in different classes but still good friends. There's also been times when they've watched my kids for me, and times when I've watched theirs. My boyfriend has said to me previously that 7 kids is way too much. I've responded mainly with comments along the lines of "good thing I only have 2 and their choices aren't my business" or something like that, but I have also reassured him about their financial situation, Charlie's ability to stay at home, and the sheer size of their house. However, the other day, I was talking to Emily while the kids played. My boyfriend was with us. Emily said she'd felt a little nauseous lately with a bit of a headache and she was going to the GP to make sure it was nothing serious. My boyfriend then says "let's hope you're not pregnant again, 7 is already excessive". While Emily has made jokes along these lines, this was very clearly not meant as a joke. He just sort of walked off after he said it leaving me to apologise profusely to Emily on his behalf. It was absolutely mortifying, as she was obviously offended, which anyone would be if a near stranger told them they had an excessive amount of children. Then today he wanted to come over. I've told him he can't come over unless he apologises to Emily, and to Charlie, who Emily tells everything to. He's said he will not, under any circumstances, apologise. He says he was just joking, and it's not like what he said was actually incorrect, because 7 kids is an absurd number. I've said that's not for him to decide and he's insulted my friends, and I don't want him coming over if there's a chance he'll run into Emily and Charlie and they'll be mad at him still. He's said I'm being unreasonable, controlling, and belittling/infantilising him, and generally making him feel like a child for "forcing" him to apologise for something he believes to be true. AITA?
