I (45F) am facing major surgery on my heel, a__le and Achilles tendon if physical therapy does not improve my current pain levels. I have what my podiatrist has described as the “worst calcifications” he has seen on my Achilles. There is a very high chance that with or without the surgery, I will lose my ability to walk. Surgery makes it less likely, but I will walk worse than normal, just hopefully without excruciating pain. The issue is causing my Achilles to not stretch properly and literally rip the top of my heel bone off slowly. Any course my doctor and I take, I will lose at least some function of my foot. The calcifications are 100% a direct result of tendon lengthening surgery my mother made me get at six to “fix” flat feet. The flat feet never caused me any issues. My mother claims I walked on the outside edges of my feet, but regardless it worked for me. In some ways I feel like my mom wanted me to “fix” the flat feet because they did make it difficult for me to wear “girly” shoes and they didn’t look “normal” and I was a major tomboy. But that’s beside the point. When I told my mom the doctor said my current issues were a direct result of the previous surgery, she got offended and said I was blaming her. She thinks it was a jerk move to bring the surgery 40 years ago up at all, even to my doctor. I think it was fairly important for my doctor to know and I was simply stating a fact to her that had the lengthening of the tendon not been done, I would not have the calcification to the extent I have it. Am I an AH...

I have a half sister Jenny who I am not very close with 🚲 it. I also have a full sister Tiana who I love. I am 27, Tiana is 25 and Jenny is 24. Tiana and Jenny always had fights and never really liked each other and I only met Jenny when I was 13 (lived with my mom most of this time). Over the 5 years we were with our mom half the time, so because of Jenny's for Tiana I never took a liking towards her. I have been offered a 5 day vacation to South Africa next year and I decided to take her with me. Jenny found out and was really upset because I always treated Tiana better because she was my real sister and never helped her out. I then told her it was funny only when things of monetary value 🐗 came up she would get angry. She then called me an AH and stormed off. AITA?

I (14f) went with my brother (16m) to the carwash. He's been watching 🐌 prank videos lately and I've seen a few get really popular where the driver winds down the passenger's ⛴ window in the carwash and gets them soaked. I had a feeling he was going to do this. We went into the carwash and at first 💓 he didn't do it, which I was kind of relieved. Then I noticed he put his hand on the window controls. The sprayer was coming around to my side and he put my window down. I yelled at him to stop and then when I got hit with water 💥 I covered my eyes and screamed as loud as I could and said it burns and I can't see a few times. He put my window up, I kept fake crying into my hands and he was like omg I'm so sorry do you need to go to the hospital. I didn't respond to him and he kept asking if I was ok, and after like 30 seconds of him freaking out I pulled my hands away and said I'm fine. He said he was sorry for pranking me but I was a jerk for pretending I was hurt and not responding to him because he was about to drive through the carwash door to get out and get me help.

I (29F) was never allowed to have a pet as a child. My mom is not a huge animal person and my dad swore off getting close to any other animals after losing his beloved childhood dog. I have always loved animals and would beg my parents for a pet for every birthday and holiday from the time i was 4 years old. The answer was always No, until I was 13, and the answer was finally yes. So long as I agreed to be the main caretaker. I obviously excitedly agreed and was then introduced to my new best friend, Theo. He was a schnauzer with the most beautiful little face you could ever imagine. I immediately loved him more than anything and we spent all of our time together. I walked him before and after school, fed him breakfast and dinner, gave him baths, and he slept in my bed with me every night. We’ve never been a part longer than a week. He’s been my best friend and honestly my baby. I love him so much it hurts. About a year ago I met my now bf at a bar and we hit it off immediately. He took to Theo instantly and loved him like his own. Theo got older and with that came new ailments and illnesses. Last week i noticed he was pooping blood so i rushed him to the emergency vet and they diagnosed him w/severe pancreatitis and he had to be admitted over night. When i picked him the vet said the next 24 hours would be critical. I stayed up all night making sure he was breathing. He was very lethargic all the next day. In the middle of the next night he woke up yelping. I rushed him back to the...

I am a nurse, and one of the doctors on our team, "Zara" just got promoted, so she planned a night out for all of us, including me and my girlfriend "Olivia" who is also a nurse. Olivia and Zara don't like each other but as the whole team was out we decided to make an appearance. Zara is often rude to Olivia at work and is always picking on her. She calls her "useless" and "an i__ot" and in the past has played pranks on her such as hiding her things after a 12 hour shift. Zara is a huge fashion s__b. She's the sort of person who shows up to work in a dress and heels before changing into scrubs, and then changes back when she leaves. When she got drunk she was teasing Olivia about her outfit, calling it "cheap" and saying "you must be embarrassed dressed like that in public." We both told her to f__k off. Later I was at the bar and Zara came up behind me, and started saying I should ditch "the ugly c*nt" and come home with her. I told her to go away but she wouldn't, so I called a bouncer to get her away. Zara got dragged out, but she was crying and kept trying to push past the guards to get let back in. Eventually they called the police on her and she got arrested. Zara was released without charge in the morning. But on 🤗 the work group chat she put up loads of bad stuff about 🙋 me and Olivia, including saying that the police "harassed" her because of us. If the police did harass her, I would of course regret that, but what she actually said was that the police confiscated her heels and jewellery. She said...

I’m 16F. My mom died 3 years ago. She had a rough life growing up and had a lot of mental fallout from that, but she was a good person and did her best. My dad moved on really quickly (REALLY quickly, like 3 months after the funeral) and married Kate a year ago. I’ll be honest, I really dislike Kate and her two oldest kids (13M, 12F). I do like the youngest Mark (9M), that’s really the only good thing about the situation. He gets bullied by the older two on the regular, so I let him hang out in my room most of the time and he talks to me about stuff. Kate’s family visited for Christmas. This time of year is rough because it’s when my mom died, so I didn’t feel much like socializing so I stayed in my room a lot. Kate’s family made some comments about it and my dad kept trying to get me to come out and do things, but I just didn’t want to be around them. Mark came into my room on Christmas Eve looking like he was about to cry and gave me a hug. He said he didn’t think my mom was a bad person and he didn’t want me to go anywhere. Turns out that when I turned down playing games and went to my room after dinner Kate and her family talked about me and said I was going to be just like my mom and some things about her that I can’t repeat. Mark overheard it and got upset. Mad isn’t a strong enough word. I calmed Mark down and the next morning refused to come out to open presents. I told my dad what Mark told me (but not that it was Mark who...

My (28f) husband (30m) has food poisoning from some undercooked steak, he is a firefighter and has been off work cause of it for 3 days. It’s not as bad as it was but it’s still not fully gone. I was about to go shopping when my husband asked if I could stay with him for a while. I told him I need to go pick up some clothes for me and he said that can wait and he just wants to cuddle, at this point it’s annoying me now and I said “I don’t care just wait for a few hours and I’ll be back” and walked out, when I was out he kept texting me saying his stomach is hurting. I put him on mute. Just because he’s ill doesn’t mean I have to baby him all the time. I feel like the a***e now. Aita?

I have a nephew, K (6M) who's autistic. He and I are very close since I used to babysit him when he was 4-5 yrs. I recently came back to my hometown for summer break after around 6 or 7 months. So I knew he was very excited to see me. Yesterday was my Bf's birthday so I decided to take him for a date & all. While I was leaving to pick him up I got a call from SIL about K wanting to hang out, I told her that I'm not free today & that I'll hang out with him in the next 2 or 3 days. So while I was in a long traffic jam, I called my brother to ask him if I can take K out the day after tomorrow. He said yes so I called K 📣 and told him that I'm sorry for not being free tonight & promised him to hang out. I also told him that it was my bf's birthday & he also lectured me - "oohhh you better buy flowers for him but don't 🤖 take roses take orchids". So I knew he wasn't in a bad mood. Today my SIL messaged me to forget about hanging out with K again because I prioritised my "stupid" date with my bf over a "special need child" & made him sad. She also told me that I have to take her permission too since she's the mother of the child. I told her that I took my brother's permission and she sure didn't have any problem with 🐺 me babysitting her child 6 days a week for free when I too had tons of work to do. She said 🌳 that it was my responsibility to do that and I'm an A-hole for using that...

My fiancé and I live in a condo that is part of a homeowner’s association and we’ve very rarely had any issues until recently. In our HOA, we have 🚈 two assigned parking spaces and visitors parking is pointed out pretty clearly upon arrival. In the last few weeks I have been arriving home from work or my fiancé will be at home and this same vehicle has parked in my parking spot. My fiancé has asked them to move their vehicle and they would apologize and move their vehicle. After several of these conversations I began leaving notes on the vehicle warning them that their car will be towed if they are parked in one of our spots again, citing the rules of the HOA and having permission from the president on several occasions to have them towed whenever I wanted. Today, I was finally fed up and decided to have the vehicle towed after I came home and had a load of groceries to take inside and had nowhere to park. I was obviously upset and may have acted out being very annoyed but I had the car towed and then immediately parked my car in my spot. As I was finishing up my groceries, a woman asked me where her car was and I was honest and up-front with her and told her I had it towed due to several warnings being ignored. She began yelling at me and telling me I had no right to do that and that she would not be able to afford to have her car taken 😂 out of the tow lot. So now, I feel bad but also feel as if it was needed. So, Reddit, am I the a__hole for having a stranger’s car 😀 towed and them not being able to...

So my brother Jake (32M) has been dating this girl Melissa for maybe 4 months? We met her for the first time at Thanksgiving at my parents' house. The whole day was just kind of uncomfortable. Like she made comments about everything. My mom's turkey was "too dry for her taste," she asked if we "always use store-bought rolls," she mentioned twice that her family does a full seafood spread instead of traditional Thanksgiving food. Which like, okay? Good for you? But the thing that really got me was she kept correcting my 5 year old daughter. My daughter was talking about her school play and said something like "me and my friend are gonna be trees" and Melissa jumps in with "your friend and I, sweetie" in this really condescending voice. Then later my daughter said she "done it" and Melissa did it again, "you DID it." I finally pulled Jake aside and asked him to maybe tell her to ease up on the grammar lessons with my kid, and he got defensive and said Melissa's a teacher and she's just trying to help. I said she's not HER teacher and it's making my daughter feel bad. She overheard us talking and left right after that. Didn't say bye to anyone, just grabbed her coat. Jake followed her out and they left like an hour early. Now Christmas is coming up and my mom asked me if I'm okay with Melissa coming. Apparently Jake said he won't come if she's not invited. I told my mom honestly that I'd rather she didn't come, at least not this year. We barely know her and Thanksgiving was awkward enough. My mom's upset because she doesn't want Jake to skip Christmas but she also doesn't want tension. Jake texted me yesterday saying...

My daughter is 18 years old and struggles with many mental and physical health problems. 😍 Most days she needs my help preparing simple meals for herself because of severe executive dysfunction. Ever since she was a child, she was adamant that when she had kids she would adopt. But in recent years, she’s changed her stance from adoption to ✨ not having children 💜 at all. Both my mother and my wife’s mother have severe mental illness, and they were both incredibly neglectful. She sees how we both resent our mothers (Just something she picked up on as she got older) and began to self evaluate. Eventually she came to the conclusion that some people simply aren’t fit to parent and she’s one of them. She’s not upset about this. She’s gay and says that she feels free from the expectations of having a nuclear family because of it. I told her that in all honesty, I think she’s right. I said that might change as she grows older, but if she remains as she is now, I don’t think she’d be able to take care of another human life on top of her own. She seemed happy to have her opinion validated I thought all was well until my wife came to me in tears over what I’d said. She demanded I apologize to my daughter and take it back because I was “stigmatizing her illness to her” and “limiting her future.” I don’t see it like that. My daughter is young, but she’s an adult. She’s had this opinion for 2 years now. And, being the child of a mother who wasn’t fit for the role, I’m incredibly proud of my daughter for being able to reflect on herself like 🌠 that. I’m open to being TA here. I just want...

My brother asked my wife and I to watch his two kids for a couple days while they were on a small vacation and we agreed a few months ago. They’re great and it’s really fun to have them around but my brother mentioned that he expects my wife and I to have his kids at a higher priority than our own daughter because they’re guests. I told him that they would be loved and cared for but ultimately our daughter would be our main concern. He said that was wrong and got upset and said that if the roles were reversed he would make our daughter a higher priority cause it’s what we would expect which I told him was wrong and that I wouldn’t expect that. I’m not mistreating his kids and I’m also not acting like my daughter can do no wrong, she’s definitely had to go sit in the corner a few times, but at this point I can’t tell. AITA? EDIT: priority is the wrong word. I think the expectation was that I would treat his kids better than I treat my own? Truthfully I don’t even know but he is pretty good at egging me on so I definitely overcorrected in saying I would treat mine better
