AITA for asking my wife not to check her period at the dinner table?

Yesterday at dinner my wife stood up from the table, stuck her hand down her pants and checked for blood. Then loudly complained about her period. I asked her to please not do that at the table because I am eating.

We ended up getting in a big fight about it. She claims I am making her feel disgusting and having a period in a natural part of being a woman. I should not make her feel bad about it. My opinion is that is not what I was doing. I never censor her and I don't think I have ever asked her not to talk about her period before. It's just in that moment it felt inappropriate and over the top.

For some reference we have been married for years and have kids. This isn't a new relationship.

Edit: This is almost going too well. I was thinking I might use this post to win the argument but now I'm not sure how she would react to having 50 strangers on the internet unanimously decide that what she did was disgusting.

AITA for Grounding My Niece After Laptop Disaster?

I have 2 nieces that live with me because they're parents are freaking as****es that rather spend their hours working and using me as a free babysitter. They refuse to pay me but I am okay with it because I love children and treat it giving me a practise for my children in future. Also I love the bonding I have with them.

When I agreed to babysit them it was under the condition that they'll allow me to discipline children if necessary. By discipline I dont mean physical punishment, just that it can be stuff like timeout, or maybe losing internet privileges for a day.

Anyway earlier today, my elder niece (12) spilled some oreo drink all over my laptop. The thing is, I have told her multiple times never bring food to the room where my laptop is at. I even added a yellow line on the floor, wrote "NO FOOD ALLOWED" at the whiteboard at the entrance of the room. I told them before if I caught them doing so, they will be grounded for a week because my laptop contains highly confidential and irreplaceable documents.

I carried out my punishment and yesterday my brother came to visit (not her father), and when he heard that I had grounded her he got so mad and told me I should give her positive reinforcement instead of punishing. I told him to G**O because as much as I love that, I believe children need a little discipline to learn what not to do.

AITA for not changing my dog's name when my new neighbor's child had the same name?

I (36M) am the owner of a Great Pyr/Australian Cattle Dog mix named Charlotte (6F). I live in a lower-middle class suburb in an unspecified United State. I have lived here for about a year now, and I let Charlotte out to go potty roughly six or so times a day. It's always the same routine: I open the back door, Charlotte runs outside to p*e and "patrol" the yard (apparently it's a Pyr thing), and doesn't typically come bounding back to the door until I poke my head out and call her name.

About a week or two ago (maybe longer if I didn't notice) new neighbors moved in across my back alley. I had no intentions of interacting with them whatsoever, like ever, except today when I was executing the last step of Charlotte's aforementioned potty protocol.

I stuck my head out and called her name, but this time, alongside the familiar sounds of my dog galloping up the porch steps, was an adult human voice shouting something along the lines of "WHY ARE YOU CALLING MY DAUGHTER??" At first I thought it might just be my new neighbors getting into a spat, until a couple minutes later I heard pounding on my front door.

I opened the door to an angry man about twice my size glaring me down. He said something like "Why the eff are you calling my daughter into your house" and I responded "Your daughter's name is Charlotte?" and he just kind of kept glaring at me?? In absence of a response I followed up with "Charlotte is...

AITA for shaming my MIL for not loving her kids?

It’s always been pretty clear to me that MIL doesn’t really love my husband or his sister. She has made a couple of comments in the past about judging women whose lives revolve around their kids, and she was never affectionate despite the fact she hangs all over her husband.

SIL has a baby shower recently and MIL was telling me how it made her uncomfortable that they were all acting like having a baby is so amazing and she doesn’t get the point of having kids because they aren’t going to love you back. Then she said her friend was was crying the other day because her DIL has too many boundaries and she feels unwanted. MIL looked me dead in the eye and said that she is glad she never really loved her kids because they would just hurt her.

I said “wow you are broken” and MIL suddenly started crying and left. FIL left me an irate message about how much I suck for shaming her and it isn’t her fault that she couldn’t love their kids. He called me insensitive and judgements. My husband is totally on my side.

AITA for not wanting to take care of my ailing grandparents?

I (30f) have been asked by my family to become the full time caretaker of my grandparents (80m & 80f), one who has the beginning stages of dementia and the other has that along with physical complications due to multiple strokes and cant walk.

I have no children and no career, which is why the family assumes I should be able to do this “no problem” since my grandpa refuses to be put in a home.

but to do this i would have to literally throw my life away. i live out of state so i’d have to move to be with them 24/7, not be able to date (because i’m lgbt and they do not “agree”), i have multiple animals that they would not want there, and i wouldnt be able to work to have my own money since they would need me constantly. my family somehow sees no problem with this even though i was already struggling mentally and seeing a therapist BEFORE this request.

am i being too selfish and dramatic, or is saying no to this reasonable??

AITA for refusing to go to Thanksgiving after being snubbed by in-laws?

I live about 10 miles away from my in-laws, and typically everyone does their own thing for Thanksgiving each year. Last year after Thanksgiving, several family members expressed interest in doing a larger gathering next year. My husband and I agreed and offered to host everyone (parents-in-law and two sisters-in-law and their partners/kids) at our home. Everyone was on board and we went ahead through the year fully prepared and excited to host. We checked in with everyone several times in the months leading up to make sure they were still on board and to work out who would bring what.

Cut to about a week ago: my sister-in-law calls my husband out of the blue to inform him that Thanksgiving would be moving to their mom's (my mother-in-law) house because she said it's more centrally located, has more room, and because her three children (ages 16, 20, and 22) don't want to drive "all the way" out to our house...10 miles away. Then, she told him that we are "welcome to come."

I am not exaggerating when I say that it takes approximately 15 minutes to drive from their town to ours. Also, our house is actually twice the size of my mother-in-law's house. We didn't buy a turkey because my sister-in-law said she had one she could bring.

My husband was very hurt by this decision and doesn't want to go to his mom's house for Thanksgiving. I'm hurt, too, as are our two children (12 and 18). We were all excited to host and are disappointed that there was an entire group...

AITA for refusing to hide a book with a sw****ka on its spine?

One of my favorite books is Maus by Art Spiegelman. It’s a Pulitzer-winning graphic novel about Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. I read it a dozen times as a teenager, and I believe it contributed heavily to my development as a highly empathetic person. I have the book displayed in our living room bookshelf, the only bookshelf we have in the tiny cabin we’re currently living in.

Today, my spouse told me I should remove the book from the bookshelf because it has a sw****ka (with a cat in the middle) on its spine. They’re concerned that someone might misunderstand the book to imply we harbor n**i views. (Edit: link deleted, you can look up the book on Amazon if you want to see what its spine looks like)

We had a fight about this because I think it’s ridiculous that we have to hide this book as if we’re really N***s (for the record, not a N**i). I would be more understanding if the book was obscure and weird, but it’s a celebrated award-winning book, created by a Jewish cartoonist. My spouse feels that it’s not worth the risk of someone making a snap mistaken judgment about us. AITA?

UPDATE: My husband agreed to let me keep the book on the bookshelf. Thanks for chiming in everyone!

AITA For lashing out after my husband ruined the food I prepared for our guests?

Me F26 and My husband M33 Mike have been married for a year now. He doesn't cook. He's bad at it. His cooking is the worst despite learning from books/YT videos/me teaching him. It just never works. Every time he steps a foot into the kitchen it turns into a mess. I don't know how. He doesn't know how. Maybe because he's constantly busy with work (Police Officer) and is used to fast food

But he's good at other things. So we've agreed that I handle cooking. He handles chores. Everything was going well. However recently he's been getting involved in my cooking. Basically making comments about what ingredients I should/should not add and I try to take it under consideration but only if he's being reasonable. Lately he's been waiting for when I prepare dinner or lunch then sneaks in and add extra salt/paper/spices/other ingredients that completely ruin the meal. First It was a mystery to me. Had me questioning myself. why I added too much salt or spices. He admitted he was the one adding extra ingredients and messing up my cooking. The meals are no longer eat-able. I've told him to not try to get involved in something he doesn't have experience with, I've basically been eating out for a week now because of him.

Last night we had my family visiting. I took the entire day preparing meals. He helped out by going to the grocery stores. I noticed he bought stuff from the grocery store that I wasn't allowed to see. I figure 'probably some snacks'.

As we were about...

AITA for holding my friend accountable for what she says even though she’s pregnant?

My “best” friend of about 8 years is pregnant for the second time. She blames all of her “mood swings” (aka her being pretty rude with words) on her pregnancy hormones. And listen, I get it. You’re more hormonal, you’re more moody, I understand. But that doesn’t give her the right to be downright rude in my eyes.

When I got my own apartment, she yelled at me and told me I was stupid and “how could I leave my mom”. When I had a pregnancy scare, she yelled at me and told me I wasn’t ready for kids. Blamed ALL of that on her hormones. But I mean, really.. it was just rude.

Now I confided in her a few days ago that I was having trouble with my mental health and wasn’t cleaning my cats litter box as much as I should have. She just threw it in my face when I told her I was taking my moms kitten, that she can’t keep. She throws it in my face and says “you can’t even keep up with one cats literal s__t.” I’ve been doing a bit better and keeping up with it more but like... I trusted her to not judge me for that and to throw it in my face? And now she posted on facebook saying that she’s annoyed with someone’s actions. Which I mean, clearly is me lol.

I just wanna know if it’s wrong of me to be holding her accountable for her blatant rudeness.

AITA because I got upset my bf took money from our account to give to his ex?

My(34 f) boyfriend (36m) took money from our joint account. This account is money we have been saving for a vacation for us and to do fun stuff with our kids this summer. I asked him about it. He said his ex needed it more.

Now backstory. They have 2 kids they share custody. My bf pays child support due to him making more. 5 months ago his ex just left her job. Her only explanation as far as I know is she that she doesn't feel like working. Flash forward to now. My bf basically supports her he will work doubles whenever he doesn't have his kids. I asked him why...his answer was that she is the mother of his children and he can't see her suffer. My thing is it's her own doing. Needless to say we haven't seen much of each other. It's getting old.

Today I went to put money in our account. Half of it is gone. I asked him about it. He said he feels bad if we go on vacation and have fun while she is broke and can't do anything. He gave the money to her as fun money.

I will admit I got upset and a little jealous. I asked him point blank if he still loves her. I told him that I feel like he doesn't care about us anymore. He called me jealous and being childish. He told me that his ex needs him more. I did say some bad things about her. He told me I am a horrible person. He said I...
