AITA for bringing my SIL’s wallet to the restaurant when she conveniently always forgets it?

Edit: update on profile

My (f28) SIL “Amy” (f26) always comes to visit from out of town. She stays with us instead of a hotel, and always wants to go to expensive restaurants. She always conveniently forgets her wallet, or domes up with some excuses as to why she can’t pay her share. She has implied that since I make much more money than her, I should be the one to pay (no, not my husband should pay, but me specifically). I do make a fair amount of money, but not so much that I can treat someone every time they come into town. Nonetheless, in the past, I have just paid the bill and asked her to pay me back. She never has.

She had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant last night, and before we left, I made it clear that I wouldn’t be paying her bill.

This is where I might be the a__hole, and I’ll admit I got this move straight from and episode of Two and a Half men. As we were leaving, her and my husband went to the car. I pretended I forgot something and went back inside. I found her wallet sitting right on top of her suitcase. I put it in my purse and we went to the restaurant.

When we were done eating, I asked for separate bills. She said no, we need one bill, because she “forgot” her wallet again. I reached in my purse and said, “this wallet?”

She was extremely furious. She said that I should not have...

AITAH for telling my dad and stepmother I agree with my mom that my stepmother is never going to be mine or my siblings real parent?

My parents are divorced and it was really bitter. My dad had issues with alcohol when I (16f) was little so my mom had primary custody of me and my siblings (all 18+ now). Dad got sober and was able to get 50-50 custody eventually. He married my stepmother when I was 7. The adults used to fight a lot. It was sometimes kept from us but we still knew.

My mom sued for primary custody again and lost. My dad sued after my mom did and he lost too. We got interviewed twice (two other times) over the custody dispute.

There were lots of issues going on. I don't know them all and don't know if I'll ever know. But I know a big part of it was my mom didn't want my stepmother being in a mom role to me or my siblings and she used to tell them she wasn't a real parent so she had no right to be involved with our school or doctors and it was dad's job to do that stuff.

My dad didn't like that mom left him over his drinking and when dad thought we were out of the way he'd vent to his family. Me and my siblings heard. When my stepmother was pregnant dad wanted all the old baby stuff from us and he hated mom for saying no. He felt like we should all be able to use the same stuff and apparently didn't like mom's attitude about his and my stepmother's kid. They have more than one together btw.

AITA for not giving my Husband’s sister MY puppy?

I (25 f) and my husband (27 m) went to his sister’s 13th birthday party this weekend. She decided she wanted to have her birthday party at a local river (we live in the Midwest). My husband and I just got a puppy a few days ago and thought it would be fun to bring her to see if she liked the water, let everyone see her for the first time etc…

When we got there everyone was super excited to see that we brought a puppy. Everyone was petting her and playing with her. My MIL asked me if the puppy was for my SIL, I said no that this was my husband and i’s puppy. (She knew that we had just gotten a new puppy.) She held the puppy for a bit and gave her back and all seemed fine.

My SIL started opening her gifts when she finally noticed the puppy in my arms and asked me if MIL had finally let her get a puppy for her 13th birthday. Before I could even say anything MIL said “yes.” SIL bursted into tears about “finally” having a puppy and then came over to me and tried to take the puppy. I was in shock at what just happened and kinda just let her take the puppy out of my hands. Eventually I went over to my MIL and asked her wtf she was thinking.

She told me that my SIL had been asking for a puppy for years, and she said “You don’t mind do you?” I was taken aback, I couldn’t...

My sister pressured me to be her surrogate, I agreed but now I want to say no.

My sister was the favorite one and generally there has been a lot of bad blood between us for a number of years. My sister is kind of a bully, and she is kind of the opposite of me. But i have grown up and gotten over it.

My sister has been trying to have a child for years now, she has had multiple miscarriages over the years and tried everything possible. I feel bad for her i really do. But for the last 2 years she has been hounding me non stop about this.

My family too have been pushing me extremely hard since last Christmas where i confided in my parents that my SO, didn't seem to want to propose, and felt somewhat stuck. Finally in May i agreed to it, I was not in a great place i had thoughts my SO was planning to break up with me after our long planned trip for 3 weeks to Japan. Instead he proposed and we talked a lot and worked out some major issues, and we have been happier then ever.

When we got back i told him about agreeing to be a surrogate, and he told me it was my choice. However when i told my parents about us being engaged the first thing they did was comment about 'How i already agreed to being a surrogate for my sister', not congratulations, not i am so happy for you. My mom then lectured me on how everyone needs to make proper sacrifices for family and other things.

Then when talking to...

AITA for telling my husband we cannot afford to take in his son?

I 39f have been married to my husband 41m for 12 years. We have 3 children together, twins ages 11, and a 9 year old. My husband has a son14 with Down syndrome and many heart problems. He needs extra attention which we cannot give. He needs extra financial care, which we do not have. He has insurance but it does not cover it all. He has been living with his mother, but his mother was just in a car crash. He’s been staying with us for a few days, but his mothers recovery is a long process. It could take up to 8 months- to a year or even longer. She’s had multiple surgeries and her legs were badly damaged, so she’d have to go through physical therapy and may even be placed in a rehab unit after she is released from the hospital. She has asked my husband if we could take care of him for the time being. My stepsons maternal grandparents have also offered to help out and take him sometimes during the week or on the weekends. The issue is we both work 6 days out of the week. My husband is the only one with a great paying job, so we get by, we’re comfortable, but adding another child onto that, with expensive health issues, puts us out of that zone. Along with getting utilities paid, and food. A few months ago we had a great financial downfall and lost a lot of money, had to even dig into savings, so this was a reasonable concern. When I brought this up to...
