AITA 🌅 for not babysitting my niece and nephew 🛎 in a family emergency?
There’s obviously a backstory here.

Six months ago, I watched my niece (5) and nephew (7) for five days while my sister and BIL were on vacation. They acted like absolute terrors most of the time. On the third day of them being at my house, we were in the yard swimming. My nephew asked to use the bathroom. My dog was inside, and he locked her in the laundry room because he “thought it would be funny”. My dog is older and has separation anxiety, and the constantly repeated rule at my house is “make sure Bonnie isn’t in the room before you shut the door behind you” - he both knew better and he admitted it wasn’t an accident.

I came in to find an incredibly stressed out dog and a laundry room door and wall that had been scratched to hell. When my sister came back, she didn’t really apologize, but I thought she was just embarrassed. I then forwarded her a quote from a contractor to fix the wall, replace the wallpaper and replace the door. She said she absolutely wasn’t paying that, that her husband would come do his best to fix it and that I was being ridiculous for expecting the to pay “so much” when he was just being a kid.

I told her I wasn’t babysitting for her again, and haven’t really spoken with her much since. Last Friday, she showed up frantic with her kids in tow. She said her FIL’s caretaker’s family member has COVID symptoms, so she wasn’t coming to work. He apparently needs assistance with day to day tasks like eating/moving about/using the washroom and she didn’t want to , and her husband was on a shift that just started (firefighter). I said no, reiterating what happened last time, shut the door and went on with my day. She called me at least 20 times over the next 10 minutes then eventually left. I have no idea what she did for childcare, nor is it my problem, but our mother has called me freaking out about it being mean, uncaring and “hurtful to [her] personally” (?). Our other sister said I should’ve just done it and gone back to not regularly babysitting. I don’t think I owe her a single millisecond of free childcare (no matter the circumstance) when she was happy to stiff me with a bill caused by her kid.

How 🗿 weird would it be if I 🛳 (F29) gave a new, solo baby my ex (M27) husband’s last name?
I posted a few days with a bunch of drama. My now ex fiancé got me pregnant and blocked me on everything. He had a vasectomy and I had my iud removed; we proceeded and I got pregnant. He tried to force me to have an a__rtion the last few days, but when I refused, he blocked me. Good riddance. — I don’t know the quality of his vasectomy. I only know what he told me.

I am going forward with the pregnancy on my own. I am divorced, have a child from a previous marriage, and I kept my ex husband’s last name. Our child had that name, so I just didn’t change it. Now, I’ve got this new baby coming, but the last name isn’t originally mine? The father is obviously not going to be involved. Would it be crazy for me to give the baby another man’s last name? I don’t really want to go back to my maiden name because my dad was uninvolved too.

Ages ago, I asked my ex husband if I could have a baby alone and give it his name and he said it was fine. I said it as a kind of joke but now it seems like some cruel irony. I don’t know how he would feel now. Thoughts? I also don’t know how my exes future spouses or girlfriends would feel about it.

Please do not encourage me to get an a__rtion because I’ve already decided to keep the baby. I have no problems providing for the child, and I’m already emotionally attached.

🌵 AITA for declining an ex friends attempt to make up after his sister had a 🦏 brain aneurysm
I (24F) used to have a best friend (45M) who was my neighbor when i first moved out of home at 18. we use to be very close, i had told him some of my biggest secrets and he had told me his. even when i moved overseas he was the first friend to fly over and visit me.

earlier this year a horrible event happened that left a good friend of my murdered. on the day of his funeral i was telling this friend about what happened and he began lecturing about how the other side was right to do what they did. i'm very open to debating the situation but it was the day of a very goods friend funeral, i was a complete mess and i said that today was really not the day to discuss it and that i just need a friend, and later we can debate the politics of the situation.

he didn't listen and kept trying to argue with me. to me it was just so incredibly selfish, wanting to be the center of attention and purposely hurt me. we argued for a bit and he wasn't letting up so i blocked him, it was just so insensitivity and so disgusting that i cant imagine having friends that are this insensitive.

this is not the first argument we've had and he's been really horrible and problematic before just for the attention, but i've always forgiven him. today after more than 6 months i get a message from a mutual friend wanting me to get back in touch with him because his sister has had a brain aneurysm and isn't speaking. he apparently asked this friend specifically to reach out to me.

i've never met his sister and he honestly...

AITA for not 🐿 giving 🌊 my sister's stepchildren money for college?
I (44m) have been very fortunate in my life and have enough wealth that I was able to save a very nice amount for my son (19m) to pursue the future he wants while also helping two friends pay for their daughter to go to college after some personal and financial issues arose. This is common knowledge to my family. Which is why my sister and BIL are now angry with me.

My sister and BIL have been married for 6 years and BIL has two children (17f, 16m) with his ex. The children's mother abandoned them during the divorce and my BIL has raised them since. My sister and BIL are not as financially secure as me and there's not a lot of money for my sister's stepchildren to attend college. They brought this topic up during a Sunday dinner with our whole family, minus my sister's stepchildren, together. And for those who'll ask why my sister's stepchildren were not there, it's because they have never liked or accepted my sister or us and now that they are more independent teens they refuse to "play pretend" to quote them. Even before they reached this stage, they fought my BIL every time they were made attend anything with us.

All throughout dinner my sister and BIL brought up college, my sister's stepchildren, how they were sad they could not afford the best for the kids and the oldest in particular wasn't going to be able to afford her dream college. When dinner ended and we were all leaving they approached me and called me greedy for not stepping in to pay for the stepchildren's college when I had paid for another child some years ago and my son chose to go into a trade instead of college. I told them those were different circumstances. They said the stepchildren are family while the girl I helped several years ago was not. I said she was not family in the traditional sense but she did consider me an uncle and we had a close relationship. While my sister's stepchildren did not consider me as any kind of family and had made their stances perfectly clear for the last six years.

My sister and BIL told me I'm the person who clearly doesn't consider them family because I would love them regardless of how they feel if I did and they said it showed what a truly greedy and selfish person I am.

AITA?

AITA for not telling my boyfriend ⛺ I was going to a picnic while he was at a wedding I 🚞 wasn’t invited to?
Let me start by saying that I understand weddings are expensive, and brides can invite whoever they want — that’s totally valid. But in this case, my boyfriend had the right to bring a plus one, and if it wasn’t me, it could’ve been someone else. If he had gotten back together with his ex, she would’ve been invited. The groom even asked if he wanted to bring his mom as a plus one, since he’s currently with me.

My boyfriend is the best man, and he said he’d like to bring me, but the groom vetoed it. Apparently, it’s because we went to school together — from first to eighth grade — and I had a falling out with one of his best friends about ten years ago. He said my presence at the wedding could make things uncomfortable.

So I decided not to tell my boyfriend what I was doing that day. I went to a picnic to celebrate the birthday of one of my friend’s dogs, and I only told him about it when I got home around 5 p.m.

He got really upset and said he wasn’t in the mood to talk to me. He told me he was hurt that I didn’t share my plans, because that’s something you’re supposed to do in a relationship. He also said it wasn’t his fault that his friend didn’t allow me to be his plus one.

I said okay, and that I’d let him know if I was going out at night. But now I’m wondering... AITA?

EDIT:
Just clarifying a few things: Back in middle school, the groom was part of a group of people who used to make fun of me—if he wasn’t the leader, he was at least involved. One...

AITA for giving 🙋 my stepniece's gift ☄️ to my niece?
My brother remarried a few months ago. His new wife has a daughter(Sarah) who is around the same age as his daughter(Alina). My SIL doesn't have a good job so Sarah had a pretty tough life. Her birthday was about a week ago so I decided to buy a laptop for her. I know she needs one for school and they can't afford one. I explained to Alina that I'm giving Sarah a better gift, not because I love her more but because Alina has everything she needs and Sarah doesn't and she understood. At Sarah's birthday I gave her my gift and she seemed very happy however I heard her bragging to Alina, telling her I don't love her. Alina kept telling to shut up but she kept going and I was furious. I asked Sarah to give the gift back and gave it to Alina. Her laptop was 3 years old so she could use a new one. I told my brother that he doesn't dare take this away from my niece and if he does then he'd better remember to never ask me for any financial help(which he does regularly) My SIL got extremely angry and called me an a__hole and said I ruined her daughter's birthday. I told her, her daughter ruined her own birthday and this punishment is well deserved. I will never sit here and watch someone bully my niece. My SIL and her daughter think I'm an a__hole and I believe my brother agrees with them but he doesn't say anything

AITA for 😍 telling my sister she cant bring her fake emotional support dog 🌹 to my wedding?
I (29F) am getting married in a few months, and were having an outdoor ceremony at a beautiful venue. My sister (26F) has a small pitbull that she claims is an emotional support animal. The thing is, its definitely not a legitimate support dog. She bought one of those fake online certificates just so she could take him everywhere.
Hes not trained at all, he barks constantly, jumps on people, and once even peed on our moms couch during a family dinner. To make matters worse, Im allergic to dogs. Its not life threatening, but I get itchy eyes, hives, and asthma symptoms when Im around them for too long. I manage it at family events by taking allergy meds but they make me sleepy and I really dont want to deal with that on my wedding day.
When I told my sister she couldnt bring her dog, she flipped out. She said I was discriminating against her for having anxiety and that I dont understand how much she needs him. I offered to set up a quiet space for her if she needed a break during the wedding, but she said I was being unsupportive.
My fiancé is on my side, but my mom is pushing me to just let it go to keep the peace. She said its just one day and that I can push through it. Meanwhile, my sister is now threatening not to come at all if her dog isnt allowed. I feel like Im being reasonable by asking for a dog-free wedding, especially with my allergies, but maybe I'm the a**hole?

AITAH for 💋 resenting my husband for having such 🌵 an easy life?
Please don't take this offensively, or think I'm rude, but, talking to him about what you're "not" gonna put up with, WHILE actively putting up with it, isn't gonna solve anything. Men put the work in where they deem it valuable. Men like you're husband are not reactive to our words because words hold no value. Because, THEIR words hold no value. Keep quiet and have your ACTIONS speak for you.
If you're not willing to leave, treat him how he treats you and take note of how long it takes him to resent your treatment.
It'll be a lot sooner than it's taking you. Don't clean up after him, don't clean at ALL. You need a dish? Wash that SINGLE dish and leave it dirty in the sink and wash it the next time you need it. Play his game back at him. SAVE all the money you can and eat outside of the house or when he's asleep. Tell him you're not hungry. Avoid doing anything for him and see how long he sticks around for or how long before he cheats because " you weren't doing your part".
I'm telling you from experience. I wasted 13 years and so much more with someone just like your husband. Im only in my early 30s and I feel kinda stuck currently. Mostly because of how much I WASTED on him. Money, TIME, ENERGY, SANITY. He'd break my things, he was always jealous of me and any success of mine. He diminished any savings I had constantly looaing his jib juat like your husband. I wish to save you or anyine else the same fate. Stick around if you want. But the sooner you reflect back his actions the sooner you'll see change.

AITAH for ☺️ breaking up with my BF over an apple? 🛰
I (25f) have birch-apple syndrome, where I'm basically allergic to apples. It's not severe, but it is very uncomfortable and even painful on occasion.

My ex-bf (28m) was never convinced that I have an apple allergy, he always bought apples, which I was fine with, but I wasn't okay with him trying to convince me to eat the apple.

The reason me and him broke up is because he tried to prove me wrong, and say that I am not actually allergic to apples. So he added apple sauce to my pancake, and when I ate it (after five minutes), I felt a sudden burning sensation in my mouth, it was painful and very uncomfortable.

I asked him if there were apples in the pancake, he told me that he added apple sauce. I of course got my epipen, and was able to relive the pain.

Fast forward to the break up, I told him that this was a very inappropriate thing to do, and if my allergy was severe, his actions might have killed me.

He said I was overreacting

So AITAH for breaking up with him?

Clarification: my niece is the one who created the account, and she thought the user name was really funny so she put it. I don't really know what it means, since I'm not that active on social media, but I know it's a meme of some sort.

Hello I haven't posted to reddit before so I'm sorry if this is jumbled. My ex and I's entire relationship was a bit of a young mistake. After our son was born, we both basically agreed we weren't meant for each other and broke up on very friendly terms. He is engaged to a very lovely trans woman named Alicia who I would say I'm friends with as well. Our son is still very young and had an issue with his heart. He had to have another surgery last year, and I barely make enough money to support us and could not afford another one on my own. My ex chipped in for the last surgery and also does not have much money. He told me he forgot about some investments he made and suddenly had enough money to pay for the surgery. I didn't ask him about it because I was overjoyed and thought it was a miracle. We had to have a pre-surgery consultation with the doctor and while we were waiting he admitted to me that the "investment money" came from Alicia's gender confirmation fund that the two of them were saving up for. He said that he knew Alicia was going to be heartbroken when he told her, but apparently he made up for about half of the money and he'd taken less than half, so he thought it was only fair. I had the opportunity to tell him not to, but I was under so much stress and concerned way more about our son's health that in that moment I didn't really care about Alicia. Our son's surgery went off without a hitch and he's going to have a very long life. He and Alicia are still together, but Alicia is now cold to me and obviously does not like me. I understand why and I feel very guilty. AITA? EDIT: I didn't know s__ reassignment surgery was an offensive term. I'm sorry. I can't change the post title but I'll change other references. EDIT 2: I called Alicia and apologized profusely again. She said she's glad the money was used to help my son, she just wishes my ex would have asked...she also said she didn't mean to be short with me, she's just disappointed about the situation and has been a bit depressed.

He Watched His Friend Cross A Line With 🕸️ A Teen, And Knew He Couldn’t 🌍 Stay Silent
I (20M) and my friend (20M) were eating at a restaurant a few months ago. As we were eating and having a good time just us two, he kept saying how cute one of the hostesses were. I told him he should talk to her & just be cool.

An hour passed and we end up by the exit & the hostess is at the counter, I’m by the door but can still hear their conversation crystal clear. It something along on the lines of

FRIEND: “Hey, I just thought you were pretty what’s your name?”

HOSTESS: “Thanks, i’m (name)”

FRIEND: “how old are you?”

HOSTESS: “15”

FRIEND: “Hahaha, okay then well you have a good one”

We’re outside the building having a cigarette & we kind of had a look of “wow, I can’t believe that just happened”. After that we went back in to use bathroom, I followed him out the bathroom & then my friend went to the hostess (still at the counter) at said “you got snapchat though?” and I was just completely shocked as they swapped info. No it’s not the hostess fault she is literally a child

My friend was even bragging about it laughing and saying how he “still got it”. I figured he would come to his senses and realize how messed up that is. Fast forward last week we were talking and his phone dings on snapchat, I asked him who “Olivia” (fake name) is. He said it was the girl from the restaurant a few months back. To which my response was “The 15 year old” ?

I was so surprise that this had happened he said “relax we’re just friends” and I asked him what does he have in common...

AITA for not caring that my 🗻 siblings, grandparents and I upset mom by taking all of dad's things 🌍 when her husband moved in?
My dad died 7 years ago. I (17M) was 10 and my sisters were 17 and 18. 5 years ago my mom moved in her now husband.

When she told us he was moving in our grandparents (dad's parents) asked her what would happen with all of dad's things. She said she wanted to donate them or something. My grandparents said we'd take what we wanted.

So my grandparents and sisters came over and mom didn't want anything so we divided it up between all of us. My grandparents took the things I chose to their house to keep watch over it for me. My sisters didn't have the space where they were living for more than what they took.

My mom had no actual problem with it at the time it looked like. But after her husband moved in they talked about my dad's watch and he seemed disappointed it was gone. They didn't say it to me.

But I still heard them. My mom ended up marrying her husband. My sisters and I aren't close to him.

She wanted me to be more than them because I'm the youngest and still live at home. But he's her husband and he's not someone I see as a father figure or my parent and mostly he doesn't try to be. My mom gave birth to my two half siblings in the last two years and that changed things.

She'd get upset that dad's stuff wasn't around anymore and recently she asked my grandparents to let her take dad's stuff back. They told her she had freely let them take it all and they weren't about to see everything dad owned go to good will. My mom asked me to let her take the box...
