AITA for telling my dad and his fiancée that they're greedy as****es?

My dad is getting married in the winter. He's going to have a 6 year old stepdaughter (Luna) when he gets married. And this whole post is about my dad and his fiancée thinking my maternal grandparents should give his stepdaughter a gift to wear to the wedding. My mom died 4 years ago and dad and her were still married and he still has some contact with her family. But since I moved out last year it has been less than when I lived there. I'm 19f btw.

So what happened is my grandparents bought me this really sweet locket for my birthday. My dad and his fiancée were living together at the time and they brought me out to dinner to celebrate. Luna was also there and heard her mom ask about my locket and who bought it for me. Luna was suddenly all excited and talking about how they're about to be her grandparents too and would they buy her one. My dad said they probably would and we'd ask them, meaning he and I would. I looked at him like he was crazy but he ignored me.

He did, in fact, ask my grandparents later and they said no. They even asked him why they would buy her something. They have no relationship to her and will likely only see her on very rare occasions. He was pissy at them for their response but I was like, uh yeah, that makes sense to me.

So my grandparents helped me and my friends move into an apartment together over the summer. They also helped us get set up with some stuff. This bothered my dad's fiancée a lot because...

AITA for asking my wife if we can figure out the b__ast milk situation?

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster. My wife and I are hitting a roadblock, and I’d love some outside input. My wife is breastfeeding our five-month-old, and I couldn’t be more proud of her. She’s been adamant about b__ast feeding even before she was pregnant, but was anxious as to whether she would be able to supply enough. Thankfully, the opposite is what we’re encountering at the moment, as my wife is producing more than our baby could ever hope to eat. I know how hard she’s working to provide for our daughter, and I support her 100%.However, we live in an apartment with limited freezer space. It’s filled with b__ast milk, making it impossible to manage meals for the rest of the family. We also have another child to feed. I recently suggested exploring different storage options, as the situation has become unmanageable (despite the “b__ast milk storage hacks” we’ve implemented), there’s simply too much. The moment I brought up the topic however, she lost it. She’s accusing me of being ungrateful that she’s able to provide so much for our daughter, and has been crying since. I tried to explain that I didn’t mean anything like that, but she’s been refusing to have a discussion about it, and hasn’t spoken to me since. I completely understand breastfeeding is important, and I’m glad she’s able to. I know hormones can make things extra emotional right now, but this storage situation is causing real stress for me. I want to find a solution that supports my wife’s breastfeeding journey while making sure our whole family can eat comfortably. Did I say something wrong? AITA?

AITA for letting my brother-in-law who "lived in Peru" learn the hard way about my llamas.

My brother-in-law spent a summer in Peru with his parents when he was a teen. I don't know why but this has become his personality. I had a fun cocktail party at my apartment when I lived in the city. My sister brought him as they had just begun dating. He spent most of the time complaining that my Pisco Sours weren't very authentic and he has much better ones in Peru. We went out a couple of years later and ate at a little restaurant downtown that had tasty ceviche. Nope it was done all wrong. You get the idea. Well we all grew up and I married a guy who owns a small bit of land outside my hometown. We have a bit of an animal rescue and I love it. There is only one p**e in the pie. Larry and Darnell Llamas. They are ill tempered as****es. I still love them but I have grown to understand their moods. They don't have BLS but it seems close sometimes. But the worst thing is that they spit. A lot. And accurately. My sister's family is spending two weeks with us this summer to get the kids out of the city and so the cousins can all spend time together. I gave everyone the same warning. Keep away from the llamas they aren't friendly. My brother-in-law knew better because he had lived in Peru and used them as pack animals. Well he is currently in the bathroom washing out his mouth for the last fifteen minutes. He went right over to the llamas to show his kids they weren't dangerous. And he got a double barrel of llama phlegm right in his mouth and...

AITAH for refusing to stay at home while babysitting my niece because her siblings feel jealous?

My brother and SIL have three children, Riley (F7), Jack(M6) and Jessie (F8). My brother struggles with infertility, so Riley was donor-conceived while Jack and Jessie were adopted a few months ago. Currently, Jack and Jessie are doing parent-child therapy to correct behavior issues. They have meltdowns for minor inconveniences, as if they were toddlers. Break people's possessions. During an outburst, they refuse to obey their own parents, let alone other adults. The therapy sessions are held during the evening and include both parents. As a consequence, I’m watching over Riley once a week.

I’ve been babysitting Riley since she was little. She’s calm and sweet child and I enjoy spending time with her. But I don't want people micromanaging me while I'm doing it.

Most of the times, if I will be alone with Riley, we stay at my apartment and watch cartoons or play games. However, if I want to go out, I will include Riley on my plans. Especially because my fiancee works irregular schedules as a nurse. As a result, sometimes her free time coincides with the babysitting time. Every so often we want to eat at a burger place or watch a movie in the theaters, and obviously, Riley comes with us. Also, in a rare occasions, I had to buy something for myself at the mall and I end up buying clothes for Riley too.

Recently, the kids have been getting along better. So, Riley told her siblings more details about how we spend our time while they are at therapy. In turn, Jack and Jessie began to complain that we were excluding them from the 'outings'. Keep in mind, my SIL was aware they didn't...

AITAH for not including my estranged daughter in my will?

My 64M daughter 32F has cut off all contact with me and my entire family 8 years ago after she got married, her husband was an a__hole to me and our entire family and was so disrespectful to all of us especially me, he had this sick kink of being the most important man in her life, I’ve tried telling her that he isn’t good for her but she basically told me to go f__k myself and she went and married him anyways, none of us were invited and we were all blocked by her on everything. We do know she’s fine and well, she lives in the same neighbourhood as a buddy of mine and she has two kids now and is pregnant again, I’ve tried going over there a few times and so did my wife after she gave birth but she kept yelling at us and kicking us out so we gave up.

Right now I’m redoing my will, not really sick or anything like that still in relatively good health, just want to finalise things, and I’m thinking of disinheriting her, if she doesn’t want me or my family in her life while I’m alive she should not get anything from me when I’m gone, I wanna leave everything I have to the kids that actually care about me and my wife and are there, my wife and other kids all agree with me.

But a little part of me that still remembers that little girl is having a hard time with it, she’s still my daughter and leaving her absolutely nothing just feels wrong, but again she rejected all of us so I don’t know.

Would I...

AITA for telling my mom if she wanted to help she'd do the one thing I'm asking?

I'm 20f. Myself and my 4 week old daughter recently left an undesirable situation and we have almost nothing. I have a handful of clothes for my daughter, and some necessities. The place were staying provides food but nothing else and the charity available to me is very backed up at the moment.

My mom is swearing she'll help me in any way possible. My daughter is growing out of her clothes, I only have one spare outfit and none of my own necessities. I've asked my mom if her and my dad would be able to return to my house and get me a few bits of mine, including clothes for both of us, some cash I had hidden, my ipad which I use for college so I don't fall further behind and get kicked out and mu daughters stroller and bassinet.

My mom came up with a lot of excuses such as she doesn't have time, or she's got plans every day for the next week, or my dad is working but she does want to help.

I've been really stressed over the last number of days and I ended up lashing out at my mother and told her "shut up because you keep telling me you want to help me, but if you really wanted to, you'd do the one thing I'm asking and not just say you want to help like everyone else."

She got really upset and said she's doing her best, to which I replied "you're not doing anything, how is that your best". She's not speaking to me at the moment and my dad is angry at me for snapping at my mom. He...

AITA: Is my (23F) mom being unreasonable?

My parents are getting a divorce. That leaves me with all of the bills because my (23F) dad left.

My mom (56F) has always worked odd jobs like housekeeping etc. so she doesn’t make much. She has always contributed somewhat to pay for electricity or other small miscellaneous expenses but nothing major.

When my dad left I told my mom she can continue paying whatever she was paying before and I’ll cover the bigger bills like rent, phone bill, car payment, etc.

My mom and I live together in a 2bed apt in NYC. I have a boyfriend who will stay over on the weekends (new relationship, so he has only stayed over 2 weekends in the past 3 months). I told my mom he was going to stay next weekend and she began to call me inconsiderate, and expressing that she doesn’t want him to stay.

I told her that I am only living in our current apartment because of her. If I leave to get my own place, she legit has no where to go. No other family, and definitely not a job that can afford NYC rent. She called me a bunch of names started crying and slammed her door shut. I told her that it’s not my fault she is in this situation.

I on the other hand, can very much comfortably afford a 1 bed apt in the city…. But I stay where I grew up so that my mom isn’t homeless. To me, she has no right to complain or tell me that my boyfriend is a “waste of time (?)” and every other rude comment she made about him. It’s not like we...
