Throwaway, I'm 26 and Anna is 30 btw. My sister Anna lives in a different state, used to with her husband but got divorced last year and said she was feeling lonely and misses us, so she came over for 2 weeks. She wanted to spend a week at my place and a week at our mom's, but we eventually agreed on 4 days at mine. So Anna arrived a couple days ago and yesterday asked me if we could let her have some time to herself. She had caught up with an old friend and wanted to invite him over, so if me and my husband could give her a few hours in the evening, she said to go for a movie and she'd pay for the tickets. I told her no, we're not planning on going anywhere that night. Anna kept insisting that she needed some alone time and it was only a few hours. My husband overheard some of this (we were getting kinda loud) so he told her that she needs to stop pushing me and we won't be going anywhere. Anna got pretty mad and and said we were being petty for the sake of it and didn't understand she was going through a hard time. I'd had enough, so I told her this is our house, not hers and if she has an issue, she's free to leave. We didn't talk for a bit after that, but later she said she talked to mom and is going over to her place earlier, as "it's obvious I don't want her around" and left last night. Was I just being difficult? AITA?

01/06/2026

My mom died when I was in kindergarten and my dad didn't remarry until I (26m) was 22. He didn't date at all while my siblings and I were kids. His wife is fine. She's not my favorite person and I find her a little off when it comes to her relationship with me and my siblings. They feel the same. She gives the vibe that she expected to be accepted as our motherly figure instead of as our dad's partner/wife. We're close to dad. He has never given us the same vibe. He'll still hang out with us individually without his wife or each other around. But she definitely gives that vibe. It's weird to me because we were all adults and I'm the baby of the family so my siblings were even older when she married our dad. And to think she would fill any kind of mom role, in my mind, is weird. My dad loves her though and he's happy and she's nice enough other than this so we don't rock the boat. However this is now a situation where I did start to rock the boat and I wonder if I'm TA for that. So my fiancée Ellie and I are getting married and we decided we both wanted to walk down the aisle. She wanted to walk with her parents so I thought it'd be kinda cool to ask my dad. He said yes. He got really emotional about it. He said he wished my mom could be here to walk with us and yeah, I do too, so much. My dad's wife later approached me and told me she would gladly walk me down the aisle instead and she wanted me to know that I hadn't needed to ask my dad instead. I asked her what she meant and she assumed I wanted her but was afraid to ask. I told her that wasn't what I wanted at all. She told me that was unexpected and when she heard I had asked dad she expected I would want her instead. So I asked her why she expected to walk me down the aisle when she is not my mom. She looked so offended when I asked her and she told me I didn't need to be so tactless about it. I told her I was genuinely asking and told her I couldn't understand. She then said she clearly misunderstood the relationship she has with me and my siblings and I can keep my thoughtless questions to myself. My dad was so confused by her reaction too. I told him what happened and he had no idea. She is really pi**ed off though. So AITA?

There's more to the story so please bear with me. Let's call this person Christa. In December '19, My best friends and Christa's bestfriends set us both up on a date. My best friends oversold her interest in me so I went in assuming this girl was already interested in me. The date was fine, I feel. Later on when I texted her we had a conversation about our exes and then she said that she is not interested in me. Okay, fine enough, I asked her if she was sure and she said yes. I deleted her number and get on with my life. Later on my best friends started teasing me about being a desperate f__k and I was kind of weirded out and asked them what they were talking about. They sent me screenshots of the conversation I had with Christa, except she had deleted her texts to me. It looks like I'm just talking on an on about my ex and it's so weird, like I'm talking to myself and then there's just a text on her side saying, 'I'm not interested in you that way'. The screenshot really does make me look like a desperate f__k. Anyway, I show my friends the original conversation I had with her. No major drama or anything, my friends just apologized to me and distanced themselves from Christa and her group. I run my own business and have 40 employees. It's a web based service so my business has only boomed. My HR was hiring new employees and she forwarded me a list of the people who cleared the first round of interviews. Lo and behold, Christa was the first one in the list. I immediately reject her because I don't think she's trustworthy. She has interviewed for a customer facing role, and I am not putting my business at risk by her to pull something like that again. I didn't tell my HR any of this, just that I have a history with this person so I can't hire them. My HR sent Christa a generic r__ection email and I thought that was that. I never interacted with Christa directly through any of this. It turns out she knows I own the business and is spreading major rumors about me in our mutual friend circle, that I am a major creep, predator etc. That I am taking revenge for being rejected. My close friends have backed me up, but some people tell me that I have no real ground for not hiring her, that I made it personal etc. So Reddit, AITA?

I don't like 'Julie'. But rent is cheaper in this apartment complex and it's even cheaper spilting it with someone while the city we're in is really expensive. I'm 24f & she's 32f. She has an aggressive dog. It chewed up too many of my things to count, barks for 10 mins straight until Julie tells her to stop. Her dog is territorial and she would growl at me when I try to step into the living room when she's there, so no the living room is the dog's territory, which means it's Julie's property, so to say. She doesn't do anything about it and just says the dog is still a young puppy and is energetic. Julie is a vegan and she takes a lot room in the refrigerator, and she has a specific space for her face masks. She said that my meat products need to be vacuum-sealed to not contaminate her veggies. I told her no and she can vacuum-seal her own s__t. She often complains how she barely has money to pay rent every month because her groceries are expensive and raising a puppy is also expensive. I don't help her out simply because I don't like her and I don't care about her. Call me heartless, but I wouldn't mind her getting evicted. These are only tame. She once let her dog into my closed but not locked room when she had a friend over. It was humid and hot day, and her dog p**ped on my rug. I came back to the most disgusting smell and I know she saw the brown p**p on my white rug because she let the dog out and closed the damn door back. We had a big fight and she said I was the one who said no one can go inside my room so she can't go in and clean it. Last month, her dog was in the vet because she's trying a new brand of food. Then they detected something bad in the abdominal and blockage, but the dog is fine after surgery. They made a payment plan and she has to shell out 300 every month towards the bill. She asked me for some money to pay the monthly vet bill and I said no and she accused me of not loving her dog. I told her that she's right. Before you hate on me, I never liked dogs before meeting her but I can tolerate living with one for the sake of rent. Julie's now saying I'm heartless, she's gotta 'betray her belief as a vegan' and start eating meat cause it's cheap. I told her there are other cheap vegan options but she says they're bad for her body and it makes her sick. Update: I've spoken to my parents and they want me to return home. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it took many Redditors to tell me I'm being stupid for staying under the same roof with Julie for so long. Circumstances beyond my control played into it. Our lease is month by month, so I won't be renewing it and Julie can take on the full rent. I've told my landlord about how I can't live with her anymore and given reasons why. I talked to Julie last night and also told her that I'm leaving. She demanded that I stay and spilt the rent because her dog's vet bill is drowning her. She's blaming everything (her need to stop veganism, rent, bills, and lack of companionship) all on me and how I'm a horrible roommate for leaving her at a time of dire need. I understand she's struggling financially, but I've made up my mind and I'm leaving this unhealthy living environment. She's been sobbing all night and now I'm f__king wondering if I'm making a big ass deal out of this and if my living situation with...

In Tears, She Signed the Divorce at Christmas Dinner — No One Knew Her Father Was a Billionaire A Cold Christmas At Sterling Manor The ink on the divorce papers was smeared with a single falling tear, but the hand holding the pen didn't shake, not anymore. Across the mahogany table, amidst the crystal glasses and the scent of roast goose, the man she had loved for three years was laughing with another woman. His mother, the iron-fisted matriarch of the Sterling family, watched with a cold, triumphant sneer. They thought they were discarding a broke, helpless schoolteacher; they thought they had won. But as Elena slid the signed papers across the table, the heavy oak doors of the dining room burst open. They didn't know that the woman they just humiliated was the sole heir to the Vance Empire. They didn't know that by signing those papers, Elena hadn't lost a husband; she had just foreclosed on their entire lives. This is the story of how the Sterling family lost everything at Christmas dinner. Polishing The Silverware The snow was falling heavily over the sprawling estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, painting a picture-perfect scene of wealth and tranquility. But inside the Sterling Manor, the air was thick enough to choke on. Elena adjusted the collar of her fading wool sweater, a garment her mother-in-law, Beatrice Sterling, had called ragged three times that morning. Elena was in the kitchen, not eating, but polishing the vintage silverware that the staff had missed. It was Christmas Eve, 2023. "You missed a spot on the gravy boat, Elena." A sharp voice cut through the room. Elena didn't flinch; she was used to it. She turned to see Beatrice standing there, draped in a silk kimono that cost more than Elena's annual salary as a special needs teacher. Beatrice was a woman who wore her cruelty like her diamonds: sharp, cold, and on display for everyone to see. "I'm finishing it now, Beatrice," Elena said softly. "It's Mother Sterling to you," Beatrice snapped, sipping her third mimosa of the morning. "And frankly, I don't know why I bother. You'll never truly fit in here, will you? Look at you—no makeup, hair in a bun—you look like the help, not the wife of a Sterling." The Shadow Of A Former Love Elena bit her tongue. For three years, she had swallowed these insults for the sake of Liam. Liam Sterling was the handsome, charming architect she had met in a coffee shop in Boston. Back then, he was sweet; he told her he wanted to build a life with her. But the moment she married him and moved into the family estate to save money while Liam launched his firm, the man she loved had evaporated. In his place was a c__ard who let his mother run his life. "Where is Liam?" Elena asked, changing the subject. "He went to pick up Sarah from the station," Beatrice said, a wicked glint in her eye. Elena froze; the silver spoon in her hand clattered onto the counter. Sarah was his ex-girlfriend, the one who works at Goldman Sachs. Beatrice smiled, inspecting her manicured nails. "Her family is coming for Christmas dinner tomorrow. Her father is looking to invest in Liam's firm—a real investment, Elena, not the emotional support you provide. Sarah is staying in the East Wing; try not to embarrass us when she gets here." A Message From The Wolf Beatrice turned and walked out, leaving Elena standing alone in the cold, expansive kitchen. Elena felt the familiar sting of tears, but she refused to let them fall. She pulled her phone from her pocket; it was an old model with a cracked screen, another thing Beatrice mocked. She had one unread message from a contact saved simply as "Dad." “Are you coming home for Christmas, L? The jet is fueled in Teterboro. Just say the...

01/06/2026

My husband and I have twin daughters, who are eight years old, and they have been doing ballet for four years. They are both very good. For the sake of this, I will call them Maria and Dina. Both girls have always done well. They are in a very good school, and I am proud of them. I think ballet is good for them, and my husband agrees. However, recently their teacher came to me and said that she thinks Maria should begin pointe early, and start taking classes a year up. Typically, at the school they are at, the girls begin at either ten or eleven, with some exceptions. And Maria was an exception. I told her I would need to think first. I did not tell the twins, and only my husband. He thought it would be a very good opportunity, but I was hesitant. This was because I had read about the effects pointe can have on their feet and bones if it is done too early. I told my husband I was going to decline the teacher’s offer, and that I don’t think it would be safe for Maria to begin pointe at such a young age. While I did not do ballet growing up, I did rhythmic gymnastics and I know the importance of taking care of your body, because I have a lot of pain now. Maria is also not physically mature in any way, she’s quite petite, and I don’t think it would be good for her at all. However, my husband was not happy with my decision. He thinks I am depriving Maria of this opportunity because Dina did not get the same opportunity, and that it’s important for her to have all opportunities that come her way. He's always favoured Maria in some ways, and believes that she will be a star and a very good future. It is not far to Dina at all, who is very intelligent and a beautiful dancer, but it is what it is. Because they are identical, they are quite competitive, but Dina is more reserved. She's more anxious, and gets o__rwhelmed easily, while Maria is very social and speaks well. And my husband believes that is important. It bothers me that he prefers her, and Maria has developed a bit of a complex because of it, but she’s grounded enough. Personally I believe the reason why Maria is getting offered this opportunity is because her teachers prefer her to Dina. Dina's only issue is that she struggles remembering sometimes, which frustrates her teachers. But that has nothing to do with her strength or technique, and to me, they are very equal with all of those. I have communicated the reasons for my decision to my husband several times, but he is still very upset that I’ve made this decision. While I do generally go by the rule that a decision in a marriage should be made by both of us, I really didn’t want my daughter having permanent physical issues because she has a small chance of becoming professional in the future. It isn’t worth it. But my husband just hasn’t taken this well. He’s told Maria about my decision, and now both girls are upset. Maria is angry because she thinks I’m being unfair and taking away her opportunity, and Dina is upset because she feels inferior to Maria. Maria has become unbelievably stroppy now, she refuses to do simple things just to be difficult, and my husband fusses over her all the same. I am upset with him. I’ve told him what he has done is childish and immature, but he refuses to accept any of this. I sleep in a separate room now, which upsets the girls, especially Dina, but I can’t stand being in the same room as him right now, since he deliberately upset our daughters and it’s resulted...

I (28F) have a special recipe for chocolate chip cookies that I only make once a year for myself. I put a lot of time and effort into these cookies, and it's a big deal for me to have them to myself. I usually make a batch and keep them hidden in a container in the pantry. Last weekend, my sister (31F) and her kids (6 and 4) came over for a visit. My sister is always welcome, but her kids are very energetic and sometimes a bit too curious for my taste. While they were here, I noticed that my special cookie container was missing. I asked my sister about it, and she admitted that her kids had found the cookies and ate them all. I was upset because I had been looking forward to those cookies for a long time. I told my sister that I was really disappointed and that I would appreciate it if she could make sure her kids don't take things that aren’t theirs. She apologized, but she also implied that I was being too uptight about it and that the kids were just being kids. Now, I’m wondering if I was being unreasonable. Should I have just let it go, or was it fair to be upset about my special cookies being eaten without permission? Update: it’s been a hour since my last post sorry if I wasn’t being specific those cookies I make once a year are for memories I had we my father who passed away in 2017 he made those cookies and he help me baked them when I wanted to become a baker and he helped me make a lot of things like cake,cupcakes “etc.” but those cookies was the best one and special ones because it was the first thing we baked together and when he passed. Every year after that I kept going to his grave with the cookies and with a photo of him put it on is grave sit their and eat the cookies like his beside me. And for my sister her child’s where never punished for their behaviour and this happened before in one of my family members home but they instead took her sons cake and ate it before the party and now they are banned from stepping foot in their house. Update: they came over and my sister apologised again her children have been punished I told them don’t do that they too young dad would have shared aswell and now we are on speaking terms. Thank you all for the support

So.... my crazy, allergen giving monster of a MIL somehow found out the day we were moving and showed up at our house. She parked behind the moving truck and said she wouldn't budge until we agreed to talk things out. Police were called and she was arrested for violating a restraining order, which I'm told could result in as much as one year in jail. I believe she has to go to court. Her car was towed, the movers finished up, and now we're all safely in new state. All FOUR of us, because we recently found out we'll be adding a new little one to our family in January. MIL does not know. The new house is under an LLC, as suggested her. Our lawyer thought that was an excellent course of action. The new school is on hard lockdown. We're really fortunate that we can manage a nice private school with excellent security in new state. I've had to go back to work part time to cover the cost but the piece of mind is worth it. My daughter and husband are going to continue therapy. DH is going to go to grief counselling because he feels as though his mother suddenly passed away. He is very adamant that MIL never see our children, but losing his mother has been very difficult for him. If, heaven forbid, he were to waiver on that my children and I would be on the next flight to Ireland. Oh, and my daughter has started this program at a hospital nearby where she is exposed to her allergans in tiny but incremental doses. So far it's going well with only a mild reaction one time. Thank you all for your support and advice during this ordeal.

I have a daughter who turned 12 in December. We are Jewish so this was supposed to be celebrated with a Bat Mitzvah which she refused. She said she was uncomfortable with the attention and she is questioning her faith. I'll admit my wife's initial reaction was not good, but after she calmed down we all talked about it rationally and agreed she did not have to have one. I'd been saving money for both of my children's Bar and Bat Mitzvahs since they were very young. She did not know the exact amount, but she knew that her older brother's was very lavish. Well my wife has always wanted to go to Paris, so we decided to put the money towards that. Due to the pandemic I'm not sure when it will be, but I thought my daughter realized that we were spending the money on France. Today she asked me about the money and was talking about the things she could do with it, and she didn't know if she would spend it on a car or a trip. I was very irritated that she thought it was her money. It was saved for one explicit purpose and since she did not want the party it is 100% my money. We got into a fight over whose money it is and I'm still furious that she thought she had any right to it. I told her I'm not paying her allowance for a couple of weeks because she needs to think about what money actually means and why she thinks she is entitled to my money. Note my kids do not get paid for chores, so she does have some chores but it's not like she is doing anything to earn this money. My wife thinks she should be grounded for being disrespectful but that the allowance thing is an a__hole move.

"AITA for telling my menopausal wife that she looks like she's 50 years old ?' I'm (53m) most likely the a__hole. I think my wife (53f) is gorgeous. I think she looks more beautiful now than the day I married her. We've been privileged that we have money, so we've able to take care of our health. She's in good shape. She gets a lot of compliments. But the annoying thing is recently she keeps putting down other women's looks behind their backs. She will pick at every perceived flaw. She talks about how she's more beautiful and looks younger than other women. I have told her it's not nice but she said she's just being honest. As I said before, I think my wife is gorgeous. She also has wrinkles and age spots, since she's 53. One day, my wife and I had ran into a former colleague of mine, who's a woman in her 30s. As soon as we reached home, my wife was talking about how she's more beautiful and looks younger than the colleague. I told my wife that I think she's more beautiful than the colleague but she looks like a 50 year old woman. My wife looked shattered. She started saying that she's going through menopause and that her body is breaking down. I told her I think she's beautiful and sexy. I tried to hug her but she moved away. She asked why would I want to seduce an old woman. She then got angry and said in a crude way maybe I'm having relations with my former colleague. Out of the blue, she said that maybe I'm having relations with a woman in her 20s. Then even more out of the blue, she said she's white and I'm not so that's why she looks much older than me. I asked her where did that come from. She started crying and she said I'm shaming her for aging. She's been really upset ever since. Am I the a__hole ?"

My sister is having a Destination wedding in the Dominican Republic (all-inclusive). It'll cost me $2800 dollars to attend (there's no option to adjust the dates/costs. it's for a full week). My sister would be very upset if I don't attend. My parents say I should go, and that I'm being selfish for saying I'm not going. My sister lives far away and we see eachother once a year due to cost/ busy schedules. I don't make a ton of money, but I have enough money to attend the wedding and my parents and my sister know it. While I really want to support her --and would attend a local/ more reasonabley priced destination wedding in a heartbeat-- $2800 just seems too much. And less importantly, I have zero desire to go to an all-inclusive resort as I don't drink or enjoy suntanning. In my defence, I've worked hard for my money and I sacrificed quite a lot to be where I am financially. And while I have accumulated significant savings, it isn't because I earn a big salary. But, because I work long hours, and very rarely spend money on anything beyond the bare essentials. The cost of this trip would exceed the value of my worldly possessions including my car. It would also require me using a full week of what little time I get off work. I really don't know if I'm being selfish, cheap, and callous or if I'm being reasonable. Last night I almost booked the ticket out of guilt, but, I couldn't do it and have since resolved not to go. So what do you guys think? AITA not wanting to attend?

01/06/2026

I have two kids with my ex who we share custody of. She has three more kids with different dads and she's currently expecting another one with another different dad. So far I'm the only dad involved. This means my kids have more than her other kids. I'll always provide for my kids and be there for them. The other kids are not my problem and I have no relationship with them. Back in February my ex sent me the dates of her other kids birthdays and asked me to buy presents for their birthdays and to send presents to her house for Christmas. I texted back that it would not happen and she could forget it. She told me I had to because her kids only had her now. She ended up no contact with her family and since the dads and their families aren't involved it's just her for her kids while our kids have me and my family added to that. All three of the half siblings have had birthdays by now and I bought no presents. I have no intention of buying them Christmas presents either. She's come to realize I'm not just going to give in either because each birthday she reminded me of and texted me insults after they passed with no present. With Christmas coming closer she's increased her attempts to make me do this. She has tried to make me feel guilty, has tried to bring our kids into it and I just don't feel guilty. These kids are not my responsibility and my ex is relying on me to pick up the slack for all the deadbeat dads she choosing for her other kids and I won't do it. My kids notice the difference in stuff and I always tell them not to brag or be mean about it. But they're not losing sleep or broken up over it because they know the others have different dads and families than them. I feel like asking them not to brag or be mean about having more is my obligation done because I'm not raising bullies or mean kids. To me that's all I owe this. My ex is convinced otherwise and has told me often enough this past (almost) year that I'm an AH. AITAH?
