AITA for not letting my wife buy things with words on them?

Obviously some context and examples are needed, but I generally dislike things that have a message written on them and have told my wife I don't want things like that in the house. For example: 'Live Laugh Love' or 'Keep Calm and...' are super tacky, in my opinion, and have no place in a house. I think that if you're going to hang something on the wall it needs to be something meaningful, but abstract enough that other people can find their own meaning in it. Also, I think they're incredibly lazy decorating, you're basically saying 'I am not worth finding something I actually like, I'm fine with a $20 sticker! Maybe the only thing I need to turn my life around is a 4'x8' sticker that tells me "YOU ARE SO LOVED"".

I've also extended the rule to the clothes my toddler wears (everyone knows that I'm not putting on a shirt with words on it). And my wife will occasionally show me clothes with generic phrases like 'future heart breaker' or 'daddy's source of constant frustration' written in generic typeface. I'll veto, and she will complain a little, but in general understands my point of view. Basically, I don't want my kid to be used as a billboard for either companies or s__tty hot takes. On the plus side, I have a ton of photos where I won't have to explain some stupid meme to my kid when she grows up ("You see, there was this thing called 'The Chive' back before you were born..."). When the kid is older they can decide what they want to wear, but until they're a little older I don't want my kid in it.

Am I the a__hole for not being flexible on this? It's gotten to the point where we go to people's homes and she'll point out every example of words she sees in people's decor and poke fun at me. But yes, I am inflexible on this rule, if she wants to build an 'Eat Pray Love' nest (the basic girl version of a neckbeard nest),...

AITA for not paying for my girlfriend’s family’s dinner?

So I’ve been dating my girlfriend for 5 years. Me and her family are not super close, but this is a serious relationship so sometimes I get invited to family events or I eat dinner with them (at their house or at restaurants) in which they pay.

Now, I just graduated and started working a 4 month intern job making $20/hr (I’m 21 turning 22). Increasingly, her parents tell her that I should at least go through the gesture of offering to pay for dinner for them. They don’t expect me to pay, but they say it is impolite and they are offended that I don’t say that I am going to pay. I haven’t payed for dinner before, but I also wasn’t expected to pay before because I was a student still in university. Part of the reason I find this unreasonable is that her parents are pretty rich and own several houses, and they are always bragging and flaunting their wealth and power. On the other hand, I come from a lower middle class family and I’m working a low paying temp job.

Now for the specific event, last weekend I was invited to have dinner with her family including her mom, dad, aunt, sister, sister’s boyfriend, and her. It was an expensive Japanese all you can eat buffet and the bill would’ve came to $250+. Am I the a__hole for not offering to pay?

EDIT: They wanted me to pick up the entire tab, or at least offer to.

Double EDIT: I did not pay for my own bill. Also, this was for my girlfriend’s birthday dinner. And, they told my girlfriend this in private later, which she relayed to me... I could tell that they were unhappy about something by the end of the dinner though.

Triple EDIT: Thank you for all of your responses. I have read most of them but this post has blown up! I have enjoyed reading the many different viewpoints but I’m not going to mull over this issue anymore whether I was or am the a__hole...

AITA for kicking a freshman out of my student-run show because she made a "joke" about Hi**er?

I (17F) am directing a play for my school this spring. The show is very dark and has some jarring moments. This being said the cast needs to feel comfortable with each other and trust each other. The cast list came out a few days ago when one of my leads we'll call her Lauren (16F) came up to me and showed me a picture of a group chat. Rylie (not real name) who was casted in my show had sent a picture of Hi**er with hearts around him and kissy faces as well as saying he was hot. Lauren is Jewish, and no longer feels safe being in the cast with someone who would send something like that. I emailed Rylie that night letting her know that she has been removed from the cast and I will need her script back. She asked if we could talk in person so I said sure we'll meet in the morning.

We meet up the next morning, I asked if she wanted to go somewhere private but she shook her head. I told her I needed to look out for my whole cast and that everyone needs to feel safe. Her actions are what caused this consequence and there will be other opportunities in the future. she handed back her script and went back to class.

Later during my study period, one of the counselors asked to talk to me. She told me that what I did was wrong. I was bullying this girl, she's only 14, ext. I stood my ground and said I did what I did. She asked why I couldn't mend the friendship, my reply was "I'm not here to mend friendships, I'm here to direct a show." We went back and forth for a while before she ended the conversation.

So Reddit, AITA for kicking a freshman out of my student-run show because she made a "joke" about Hi**er?

EDIT:

The school knew what she did as well as her parents.

EDIT 2:

It...

AITA for reaching out to my roommate’s dad behind her back?

I have lived with my roommate for 8 months. Prior to agreeing to be roommates I was clear on a few things: keep common areas clean, no w**d, and check with each other before having guests over. I’m in grad school right now and also have a serious physical illness so I really need quiet space to study and focus.

Soon in, she started breaking all of these rules. I tried to just be easy going because I didn’t want to rock the boat. But then one weekend she had 6 of her friends fly out. She said they would be here for 2 days, they stayed for over a week. They trashed the apartment, smoked w**d, were up all night partying and I didn’t sleep. I decided I would speak with her the day they left, but when that day came, she sent me a text: “btw my other 2 friends are flying out for the weekend.” Once again, it wasn’t a weekend. They came on a Tuesday. Trashed the place worse than the 6 girls that came the first time. Ate my food. I couldn’t cook in the kitchen. And one of them had a__l s__ on the couch with some random guy she brought back.

I finally texted my roommate that I’m not okay with this and I want to meet to talk. First she said no. Then she said we could “meet after her friends leave.” I asked when that was and she said it was another week. (So she lied about it being a weekend). I could not go another week with this. Also, she was really rude over text. So I said “can we at least talk for 10 minutes to clear the air and then when they leave we can talk more.” I just didn’t want to feel uneasy in my own space. She said “as I said, I’ll talk to you when they leave.” So I lost it. I emailed her dad (who pays her rent), basically explaining my frustrations. I said I want to work it out with her...

AITA For Kicking my brother in law out of my wedding when he brought his dog with him?

Me and my husband got married a week ago. Not everything went quite as we planned. The reason is my brother in law (Jack 21) he's the youngest in the family. Extremely well cared for and everyone spoils him all the time.

For some reason he doesn't like me. Always been passive-aggressive towards me and made awful remarks about me on several occasions.
Jack has a German Shepard, a really big boy that he adores and takes everywhere. I gotta say his dog is very active and quite big.

He wanted us to include his dog in the wedding invitation we sent him. His mom told me that. I told her that he can't bring his dog and she acted confused asking why. Then said Jack and his dog always attend events together. And that Jack didn't appreciate how disrespectful I was towards his dog.
I have no hate for dogs I have a chihuahua that I got 3 years ago. But even she (bless her) can not be around Jack's moody dog.

I insisted no dogs allowed and it caused some disagreements but I thought we had them solved.
At the wedding.
Jack showed up with his dog and wearing a t-shirt with the words "dog dad" on it.
I was shocked whrn I saw them, He sat his dog at the table my family was sitting at. Mother in law was smiling widely.
His dog was running around ruining everything. Causing loud noise and making guests uncomfortable I swear and I'm not exaggerating some of my dearest nearest friends were leaving. I had enough after all people were feeling terrified/uneasy with the dog's acting out.

I told Jack he needed to take his dog elsewhere so someone else can stay with him. Jack refused and argued with me so I told him to leave. Mother in law kept calling me unreasonable for telling her son to leave. She said I was the one ruining my own wedding and I needed to calm down and let Jack enjoy his brother's wedding.
My husband stood there....

AITA for smearing cake on my daughter’s face on her birthday?

My daughter’s 18th birthday was yesterday. On the eve of her birthday, my son(who is 16) told me about his idea to smash cake and whipped cream on his big sister’s face when she woke up. I thought this would be funny and make my daughter laugh first thing on her birthday, so I agreed to do it with my son. I would say my biggest regret here is not telling my wife know about the plan.

My daughter woke up at 8 yesterday and when she first came to the breakfast table, my son and I were waiting. We pounced and we each grabbed a slice of chocolate cake and smeared it onto her face and I yelled happy birthday. My wife came to our daughter’s rescue and started yelling at me all the while my daughter was just dumbfounded and shocked.

My son and I realized we made a mistake and we apologized, and my daughter went to take a shower. The rest of the day was smooth sailing and my daughter had a fun birthday besides the morning incident but she was clearly upset at her brother and I.

My wife lectured me before we slept about what happened. I get the feeling that my daughter is still upset at my son and I. AITA? We thought we would make her birthday more memorable.
