**Throwaway:** I (39M) recently went to China with my sister (36F), her husband (we'll call him 'Doug' 40M), their son (12), my wife and our two kids (11, 9). My sister and I were born in China, but our family immigrated to Dallas when we were young. She stayed there, got married, and had her son, while I settled in the Pacific NW with my wife and two gremlins of 🌍 our own. Growing up, our parents emphasized healthy eating and staying active. My sister and I still live that way and pass it to our kids. Doug, however, is... 🐥 American in every sense of that 😊 word. He grew up on ultra-processed foods (Fruit Snacks were considered fruit), and he'll insist on starting up his Grand Wagoneer for any distance more than three blocks. He's not TLC immobile, but definitely not built for long treks. Their son just finished 7th grade and loved the ancient China unit, especially the Terracotta Warriors. My sister thought this the perfect time for him, being half-Chinese, to visit his ancestral homeland. I was already planning a trip to Chongqing to see family, so we added my sister's family to the itinerary and expanded it to...

I (34M) have a son in 1st grade and got invited to a pool party. The kids invited to go to school together and/or play youth sports on the 🚔 same teams. When we got there, what I was told was a Malinois, came up to us and sniffed and pawed at us. I told it to get away, and it did. My son does not like dogs since an incident at the park. I told it to get away a few more times in the next few minutes as we said hi to people. 😹 I noticed 🎋 another dog outside. We were not told about the dogs ahead of time and my son didn't want to play with his friends as he was hesitant to be away from me. I'm friendly with the host parents, but we don't know each other outside of our kids' activities. I approached mom, thanked her for the invitation and complemented their house. I asked her to lock the dogs away and explained the situation with my son. She looked clearly annoyed at the request. She told me she doesn't react well to being locked away and asserted that they were friendly and safe. I reiterated...

***UPDATE: check my profile for the update My (31F) husband (30M) and I have been married for a few months. His father passed away recently, and understandably, his mother is grieving. My husband and his sister have been trying to support her. The issue is this: my mother-in-law may come stay with us for two months in our one-bedroom apartment. Our apartment is small. I work from home full-time, we have a cat, and we only have one bathroom. My husband works 🌜 in-office three days a week. His sister and her husband are also expecting 🚐 their in-laws to visit during that time, so they can't host the mother-in-law, and the MIL apparently doesn't feel comfortable around them anyway. So she wants to stay with us even though we have less space and privacy. I initially asked for a six-month buffer before having family stay over long-term just so we could adjust to marriage and living together. That boundary was acknowledged verbally, but now it's being brushed aside because of 'family duty.' I said I'd be okay with a 3-week visit, but anything ⛄ 🐔 longer feels really overwhelming, especially in such a small space. I've also suggested an Airbnb, which I could...

We have 3 dogs, 1 of which we took in recently when his owner died. He's nice but prefers quiet and when we have guests he will go upstairs to our bedroom and chill on our bed. Also, he's only ever had dry food and anything different upsets his stomach which causes a hygiene issue as he has long fur. This weekend we had family over and everyone brought food for a buffet, my 3 brothers, their wives and lots of adult / teen children. We've had issues previously where people don't listen to us about the dogs and sneaking them food 📢 is common so as they were coming in I was loudly announcing 'don't feed Pickles any treats or human food, anyone caught will be the one upstairs shampooing the p**p out of his fur' My SIL Tracy laughed and made some comment about me being unnecessarily graphic so I pointed out that people hadn't listened in the past and I was not playing around this time because Pickles was more sensitive than our other dogs. Anyway later on my husband found a 🐨 piece of sausage roll on the floor upstairs. Nephew Dave (19) admitted 🐡 he'd tried to make...

My (29M) cousin (26F) is currently in financial trouble because she moved into a house that is way out of her budget. She has no steady job, 🚛 relies on odd jobs here and there, and has a *terrible* spending habit like, she buys $6 lattes every day and eats out constantly. I warned her before she signed the lease that this place was too expensive, but she insisted she 'deserved a nice place.' Fast forward three months, she can't pay the rent. She's now asking ME (who has my own bills, student loans, and rent to cover) for money 'just until she gets 🚓 back on her feet.' I said no. I told her I love her, but I warned her from the start that this house was too expensive and I can't be her safety net every time she makes a bad decision. She flipped out and called me a fake cousin, a s__b, and said I was letting her 'become homeless.' Now her mom is calling me, saying I'm heartless and family should help each other. I feel like I'm being emotionally 🙆 blackmailed for her financial irresponsibility. AITA for refusing to cover the rent on a house I warned...

Using an old throwaway for this cuz some of my coworkers know my main. I'm 20f and I'm ethnically Korean but grew up bouncing around different countries due to my parents job. My friend said that I'm 'passively bilingual' in that I understand when my grandparents speak Korean to me, but I struggle to respond. Forget about reading or writing lol. My parents both grew up in the US and the grandparents I have left speak English so my bad Korean never caused any communication problems. My parents gave me a 'Korean name' and never gave me an 'English name' (who knows why) even though a lot of ABCs usually go by an English name at school or work. This is fine by me, I like my 🌗 name and yeah it sucked when some teachers got it wrong growing up, but that's life. Now here's the problem: I started a part time job and there's another girl working there, Emma (fake name, maybe 25ishf?), is uncomfortable 🙆 because of my name. Thing is, Emma is Muslim and takes her religion really seriously (she wears the hijab, prays at work) and apparently my name means something bad in her religion? She doesn't...

This happened 2 weeks ago. I am 32 and my spouse is 29. My spouse and their family (parents, sister, her kids) were ⛺ hanging out. I was doing some chalk art with the kids while my spouse caught up with everyone. We had 🏚 a very light lunch and some snacks for everyone to graze while hanging out. The time for dinner started to approach and my sister in law brought up heading down for dinner. I said that it was only 5:15 and we should wait until 6:00. She said she 🙆 would like to go now. I said we should just wait and go at 6 because I had a coupon and there would be deals to make the meal much cheaper. The difference being from estimated $175 to under $75. We had already offered to pay for dinner before they arrived. My sister in law grumbled about it and went to check on the kids and their chalk stuff. I didn't think 45 minutes would be such a big deal. But a few minutes later the kids, who were fine a few minutes ago, came to the patio 😝 and were dramatically clutching their stomachs and saying 'I'm soooooo hungry'...

I 48F am staying a campground on vacation and a group of children were running around playing. They were not causing any harm just playing. I kept hearing a very high pitched screeching squeal indicative of a small little girl. It wasn't a distressed squeal just a squeal. Later 🌜 while sitting at the laundry area 3 boys I would say of the ages of 14, 🐝 10 and 7 came up 🚦 to buy ice. I recognized one as one of the playing children. A conversation started and I asked if they had a little sister. I told them I thought I heard a 🚃 little girl with them playing. They said no that the squealing was coming from the 10 year old boy. Of course the other two boys laughed like crazy. I felt terrible. Just terrible. I apologized profusely. Later the mother of the 3 approached me and said I had called her son a girl. I explained and apologized to her as well. I told her i felt bad for it but it was just an honest mistake. She left in a huff and now has been side eyeing me every time I am around them. AITA? I apologized. I...

My bf (31M) is 🛵 convinced that it's a red flag that I (27F) don't want to split my leftovers with him. Basically he's much larger than I am, so he always finishes his meals when we go out, and since I'm smaller I tend to eat half and save the rest as a lunch for the next day during work. Recently he's been arguing that it's selfish of me to not share those leftovers with him if he asks for some. For example, if we are at the restaurant and he's finished and I'm waiting to ⛰ box mine up, and he says can I finish that? I said no because I wanted it the next day. He thinks that's greedy. Sometimes he's paying for these meals, sometimes I'm paying but I personally don't think payment matters. I was raised 🕷️ in a more selfish way where my multiple siblings and I would fight over food and my parents weren't very generous either, so it is a little engrained in me. Whereas ☺️ my bf was raised in a very generous, sharing household so he was a bit alarmed that my knee-jerk reaction was no. Which I can understand. He says that if...

I (24F) recently rented an apartment 6 minutes from my parents' house. I didn't tell them beforehand , just told them after everything was signed. And now they're saying I betrayed them. For context: I have a full-time job as a civil servant in IT (not as chill as people assume), I'm graduating college this year, and I make enough to support myself comfortably. I rented this place because I'm really sick. Like, medically sick. A few days ago, I got test results showing my stress system has collapsed from chronic stress. My doctor said if I keep living like this, I'll start experiencing symptoms similar to menopause by 25. That scared me. Life at home is... intense. There are daily fights, no privacy, no space to study or relax. My dad sleeps on the floor because there aren't enough beds. I'm not allowed to play games, talk to friends 💚 on the phone, or even use my computer freely. Everything must be turned off by 9 10pm. They watch my screen, monitor everything, and after a stalker situation and 🐪 finding out I had an American friend, they doubled down on controlling me. My mom has a condition where she gets...

I 42M, have two kids living with me, my daughter Anya (17F) and my stepson Noah (14M). Noah's mom passed a few years ago, and I've had full 💁 custody since. He's had a rough go of it, but he's a good kid, with his quirks. He's not antisocial or shy, but he does not appreciate having his space invaded and when very upset, he can kinda 'shut down'. Anya is much more outgoing and has a lot of friends- she asked to have a sleepover this weekend with four of them. I said yes, of course, but given that the friends who were coming were pretty loud and have a tendency to crowd Noah, I told her 💗 to make sure they don't go into her brother's room. Also to keep things down after 11, so that the house can sleep. In my opinion, these are not strict rules. To my surprise, I came upstairs to check on them at about 10- they are 17, I didn't think I needed to check on them every hour or something- and they were 🐋 in Noah's room. And they looked like they'd been there a while, two were 😽 literally sitting on his bed, with...

So, I (29F) was supposed to get married last year, but my fiancé and I ended up breaking things off a few months before the wedding. It was mutual, no drama, just a realization that we weren’t compatible long-term. The thing is, I had already bought my wedding dress custom made, cost me nearly $4,000. I know, that’s a lot, but I paid for it entirely myself and 🐹 it meant a lot to me at the time. After the breakup, I packed it up and put it in storage. Haven’t been ready to sell it or do anything with it yet. It’s emotional. Here's where it 🎋 gets messy. My younger sister (24F) recently got engaged. We’re not super close kind of different people, and she’s always been a bit... entitled, honestly. She came over a few weeks ago, saw the dress when we were organizing my storage closet, and asked if she could have it for her wedding. I kind of laughed and said, “Uh, no. That’s mine.” She got annoyed and said, “But you’re not even getting married. You’re just going to let it rot in a box? "I told her again, no it’s personal to me, and even...
