AITA for taking my daughter’s social media away after she followed a dumb trend?

I’d (42M) always considered my daughter (19F) to be smart and trusted her to explore different things on her own without intervention (staying out late, partying, etc.).

I was forced to reconsider this after my latest discovery. She filed her teeth down last year following some social media trend, and without asking my wife or me. I found out last week (before Christmas) when I took her to the dentist after she was complaining about how physically difficult it was for her eat steak (she cracked her tooth).

We’d already shelled out thousands of dollars to get her braces and she completely trashed it with this stupid decision. We didn’t want to ruin the holidays so we wait until after New Years to confront her. She tells us she can “just get more braces later” and dismisses the whole thing. My wife had enough at this point and told her off for a while.

After a long discussion, my wife and I decided to downgrade her phone to a very basic call/text (not smartphone) and told her if she wanted to get a better phone from this point she’d have to buy it herself on her own plan (she has a job).

When I brought up this incident to my bar buddy he told me it’s cruel to take away a kid’s access to social media and things, especially with COVID. Since then I am starting to reconsider our punishment. AITA?

Edit—

Thank you all for passing judgement, I read most of the replies on my lunch break (and wow there were many).

I received a few private messages on Reddit asking about my daughter’s teeth so I want to clarify she’d only filed down her teeth to try to even them out. My wife and me haven’t decided what to do next.

AITA for shaming my son and DIL on the internet after they named their baby after me?

I have a fairly unique name which comes from Greek mythology. The first time I met my current DIL she commented on how beautiful it is and asked a couple questions about if people pronounce it right and if I like it. She has been with my son for five years and she had mentioned a couple of times how much she loves my name.

Besides my name she doesn’t like me very much. She is hyper controlling and doesn’t like that I won’t restructure my entire family so she can have her way. She just has a lot of issues and always seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown and it is exhausting. When she got pregnant the first thing she did was give me a list of rules and I just found it insulting that she didn’t even wait and let things come up naturally. Also there are so many rules that I think she needs to hire a professional and not expect any help from me.

We had a huge fight mid pregnancy because I refused to buy any gifts because the list of rules about what to buy was insane. We didn’t speak much for the duration of the pregnancy so I was shocked when she named her daughter “after me” really I just think she likes my name. I’ve only met my granddaughter once and she hovered over me and made me uncomfortable the entire time. She pretty much told me I am never going to be allowed to babysit which is her right, but if I’m such a horrible person why name the baby after me?

Since it is a fairly uncommon name people were asking about it and they both claimed they named her after me so I commented on a picture that it’s so flattering they named the baby after me but surprising when I’m not actually allowed to have much of s relationship with the baby. She blocked me on all social media.

AITA for telling my wife to shut up in the middle of a blizzard?

Now that the imminent fear of death is gone, my wife says she feels hurt by what I said in the heat of the moment and I love her and don't want to write off her feelings.

My wife and I were in a situation a few weeks ago during a severe cold snap that indirectly lead us to be driving in the middle of a small blizzard. Our two year old son was in the car too and I couldn't pull off the road so we had to drove it through. My wife was very understandably panicking and was talking very fast and very loud in her panic, I kept asking her to stop because I needed to focus (our son was sleeping so it wasn't affecting him) and she didn't stop all I snapped and told her to please just shut up.

Neither of us ever talk like this to each other and my words upset her. I agree that I probably shouldn't have spoken like that but I don't think that I'm an a__hole over it, but my wife disagrees.

AITA for ruining family dinner because I didn't want to talk about my ex and suggested we talk about everyone's exes?

Had a family dinner this past weekend. It included myself, my fiance, my sister, her boyfriend, and our parents. My sister got divorced maybe a year ago and has a boyfriend. I really like him, he's great. And they are so great together! I'm happy that she is finally happy. I've known my fiance for 10 years and have been 'together' for 6 or 7 years. Things are great with us, too.

At dinner, we were talking about old memories and laughing. Generally having a good time all around. We eventually talked about how much dating has changed over the years and now the majority of people meet online/through an app. I should mention here that my sister met her boyfriend on a dating app. Nothing wrong with that, it is 2019. Then my sister brought up my ex because I had met my ex online but before all these apps were status quo (12+ years ago).

Back then, I got sooo much s__t from my family about how I met my ex. They all were less than nice to me and to him and it's something I've never forgotten. That relationship lasted 2.5 years but eventually we broke up but for other reasons. When I look back, I do have the 'what the hell was I thinking' reaction that everyone has when they think about their exes but I also have a bit of sadness and anger towards my family about how I was treated. So obviously, I don't like going back there. My sister just kept talking about my ex and how unsafe meeting people online was back then and I'm so lucky he didn't end up being a s__ual predator or serial k__ler! She and my parents were talking about my ex and how horrible he was while myself, my fiance, and her BF just stayed quiet. Honestly, my ex was a nice guy, just not for me, so I took offense to what was being said as I was also being painted as being foolish.

I'm not proud of what I did but...

WIBTA For asking niece and fiance to move out?

For almost 2 years my niece (26F) has lived with us. The original agreement was until she got on her feet, but with covid all planning has haulted. She met someone (24M) and was supposed to move in with him, but he lost his job, apartment, and ended up moving in with us.

The agreement was protection was a must. Well, niece is now 3 months pregnant. They were trying and lied and hid it from us. It was a mixture between being happy, but being mad because of the secrecy.

Supposedly it was because we'd "steal their child away". As per what my niece told me. This upset me and I explained to her that I love her and would never do anything to hurt her intentionally. She said since we hadn't had kids it seemed logical to her.

We are trying to be supportive. Encouraging them to read parenting books and seek advice from more experienced family. I told them they didn't have to worry about helping with certain things and that they needed to focus on saving up for the baby. Our agreement was that they would stay until their baby was 6 months or a year old. Or at least it was until today...

My wife and I have been trying for a baby and, before we knew that my niece was pregnant, my wife was 6 weeks pregnant. Last week wife and niece got into a bad wreck. Thankfully my niece and her baby are fine! She made it out with a few bruises.

But car is totalled, wife will have to be in a wheelchair for a few weeks, she has nerve damage in her knees, and the traumatic experience lead to a miscarriage. Today has just been very hard. Naturally we were both emotional, but trying to stay positive. We were coming home from visiting family when I told niece what happened since she didn't understand why wife was crying.

I also mentioned that nothing was said until pressed because we didn't want to cause undue stress....

AITA for suing the estate of this guy that died when he crashed into my car?

So a couple weeks ago I was driving home. My neighbor was on an electric bike went way too fast down a hill and crashed into my car. He dented my car bad and broke through my windshield.

I wasn’t at fault as I was stopped at a stop sign and he ran through one right into me.

It was a really bad accident and the guy died. I injured my shoulder and broke my wrist and needed to have surgery to put some stabilizing screws put in.

This guy had a wife and kids that he supported. They’re having a hard time financially since he passed as he was the breadwinner and the wife hadn’t worked for years so she’s having trouble finding work.

So would I be the a__hole if I sued his estate to get my medical bills and my car paid for. I do need the money, but not nearly as desperately as they do.

Edit. On the advice of many people I will just file the claim with my insurance because it will be less messy than me getting the money from them personally. If my rates go up I will change my insurance provider.

Thanks all. I’m signing off now.

AITA for rescinding the punishment my husband gave my son?

Posting this from a friends account as I never use Reddit

My 10-year-old son "H" is a sweet kid but has a bit of a temper and can get frustrated easily. It is worth mentioning that he is also on the lower end (in terms of severity) of the Autism spectrum but nobody would know unless they were told. He socializes easily and has never had any major difficulties aside from learning disabilities and the slight anger problem I mentioned.

He absolutely loves hockey, therefore to keep him entertained while rinks are still closed around here I bought him a street hockey kit with a foldable net and some pucks. The net was poorly designed and is tough to fold up. Shortly after I bought it for him, he was having fun shooting pucks into it, but when he was finished and attempted to put the net away, he was having trouble folding it down. I politely request that he helps keep the garage clean and organized by folding the net once he is finished and told my husband to help him if he needs it.

Already a little frustrated, he asked his father for help. My husband is a seemingly level headed person who meditates on a daily basis and doesn't seem to understand anger and frustration over trivial things, even though its a child he's dealing with. He can often be condescending and pretentious when around another person showing frustration towards him and it's definitely gotten under my skin on certain occasions. Therefore he's not always understanding when dealing with "H". My son asked his dad for help, and in my husband's own words, was "obviously frustrated over something that wasnt worth it".

I wasnt home during the incident and when H calmed down he told me it went down like this (paraphrasing)

H: This net is so stupid! I need help

F: Why do you need help?

H: Because it won't fold right!

F: Well why won't it fold right?

H: Because this thing is stupid!

F:...

AITA for only continuing to pay for my adult children who've started families?

Hello, reddit! Very nice to meet you. I'm writing to ask about an ongoing argument I've been having with my fourth daughter, who I have been told to call 'Emma' while on this subreddit.

In short, I've devoted myself (male, 64) to my career and future family since I was seventeen and started my first savings account, and I've managed to accrue quite a bit, but not an infinite amount of money. I have eight children, five daughters and three sons, and they've been the true lights of my life. I've paid for all of them to be properly educated, and all expenses up to their twenty-first birthdays.

My issue is this-- when my second daughter was nineteen, she fell pregnant, and I made the decision to help her financially with the child after her twenty-first birthday. I've been supporting her family since, and eventually made the rule that as long as any of my own children had a child, the financial support would continue until said child turned twenty-one. The amount I pay includes rent, food, tuition, and a modest monthly recreation fund.

Since then, five of my children have started families, all early, and so I've continued to support them. My youngest daughter is not yet twenty-one, so she's covered as well, but my fourth daughter, Emma, and my youngest son, have not had any children. Emma has taken umbrage with this.

She is married and considers her pets to be her children. However, her pets do not require tuition, or a recreation budget, or extra money to live in a child-friendly area. She claims that I am pushing her into having children she does not want, as she is 'childfree.' I just feel as though, as a college-educated woman with a two-income home and very few responsibilities, she is able to take care of herself.

My youngest son has not made any complaints. Emma says that this is favoritism, and I'm trying to force a lifestyle on my kids. I do not believe I'm in the wrong here, but my youngest son...
