AITAH for considering divorce over my wife’s ex behaviour?

Throwaway account Yesterday, I posted this, but it got deleted because I replied harshly to an unkind comment. Recap: I've been with my wife for six years (married for 1.5 years). Her son, let's call him Jake, is 9.

He used to call me 'Dad,' and we had a great bond. Five months ago, his biological dad showed up. Since then, Jake has been repeating things his dad says and constantly insulting me.

I went from 'he is my dad' to ' he is just my mom's husband ! Hahaha ' I talked to my wife about it, but she thinks he's just a kid and that I should let it go. Last week, Jake called me because his dad, who was supposed to pick him up from school and then take him shopping for his mom's birthday, bailed on him.

I stepped in, took Jake shopping, and we had a good half-day together. I paid for the gift he picked out. I dropped him off at his dad.

He was sleeping and forgot about even picking Jake up from school! On my wife's birthday, Jake lied and said it was his dad who took him shopping and paid for the gift (despite his dad never having a job or paying child support). His dad...

AITA for telling my parents to forget it after they asked me to reconsider plans because of my sister again?

My parents have me (16m) and my sister (15f). When we were younger things were okay. But then when she was 7 she got bullied by a kid in her class.

The bullying didn't last long but afterward she changed. She struggled with her self-esteem and she still feels bad about herself and hates herself and it made our parents really go into protective mode. They let her choose where we got takeout for a month afterward and they cancelled what we had talked about for my birthday party and instead decided we all needed a family vacation instead but she got to pick the location even though we went for my birthday.

I didn't have fun. My parents knew I wouldn't like it. They told me she needed this and we needed to help pick her up.

They told me I could spend time with friends another day and do something small with them. That never happened even though I asked. She was still in a bad place after a few months and then my dad went no contact with his mom (grandmother) because she decided she was going to leave 'all her grandkids' something but my sister, the only granddaughter, wasn't included and she said some n__ty stuff about boys being more special to...

Grandfather left me his life savings

(Michigan, USA)My grandfather recently passed and my dad has been working on getting his estate in order. My father is an only child and I am one of 6 grandchildren related to my grandfather. Each of us grandchildren receive $30k from my grandfather‘s will and we all figured the remaining money was left with my grandmother (she’s been a stay at home wife through their whole marriage so no money of her own).

Its now three month since my grandfather passed and my dad calls me up to tell me that I was listed as the POD for the entirety of my grandfather’s savings account. This account did not have my grandmother’s name on it so she doesn’t even have access to it. I am shocked and a little angry that my grandfather seemed to have little to no concern for how my grandmother would live after he passed.

Here’s the biggest issue, the savings account is $200k. My dad wants me to give the money to my grandmother so she can use it to support herself and pay medical bills. I want her to have all the money she needs, but what happens after she passes? I honestly don’t know why my grandfather left this huge sum for me and not for his wife or other...

AITAH for disowning my adoptive son since he chose "his people" over us?

I know the tittle is a bit weird, but this was the best way I found to translate what was said. Obligatory apologies for bad grammar and/or spelling. English is not my first language.

I'm M44, my husband is M40 (been married for 20 years, together for 22) and our adoptive son is M24. He's black and we're not. I'm only mentioning this because it's relevant to the story later. This does not take place in the US.

Let me give a little bit of background to the situation. About 19 years ago, me and my husband had been driving on a highway, back from a small vacation, when along a particularly long stretch of road (absolutely no buildings around, only a ton of grass and hills as far as the eye could see), we spotted a little boy just sitting by the side of the road.

Like I mentioned, there was nothing around for miles, and no cars close to where the boy was, so we decided to stop and see if everything was ok. When we got closer to the boy, let's call him Jason (fake name), it was very easy to see he was dirty and malnourished since the only thing he had on were some diapers. He was so small it didn't...

AITA for 'Ruining' My Friends' Bali Vacation Just by Enjoying Myself?

I (F38) just got back from a vacation with two of my longtime friends, "Kate" (F40) and "Mary" (F38). I've known them both since university, and we've always been close. The three of us had been planning this Bali trip for a few months, along with our husbands and their kids (they both have children under 5, while my husband "Jake" (M45) and I are childfree). We agreed to split the cost of a four-bedroom villa three ways, and everything seemed fine at first.

Jake and I arrived in Bali earlier than the rest of the group because we had different flights. Once we got to the villa, we waited to choose rooms with our friends and didn’t mind when they both chose the ones with ensuites. We had a great time during the trip—Jake and I did some couples activities (massages, hiking, dinners), but we also spent time with Kate and Mary and their families whenever it worked for everyone. To be nice, I even surprised them with massages to give them a break.

The only thing that made me uncomfortable was that whenever I ordered a drink (a cocktail before dinner, or a glass of wine with meals), I'd get comments like "Oh, you're drinking again?" For context, I’m a social drinker and don't drink...

AITAH for being confused that a friend expects to bring their child to my birthday

My 30th birthday is in 3 weeks. I sent out invites about 6 weeks in advance to roughly 20 couple friends. Many of us have stressful jobs and live far away, so I wanted to make sure everyone could plan ahead. The plan is archery at a bar, followed by drinks/happy hour/dinner. We are covering the cost for archery and a couple bottles of wine afterward, but if anyone grabs food, that part is on them. I also made it clear that I do not want any gifts and just want people to have fun. Typically, our friends do not cover costs for their birthdays, but I thought it would be a nice gesture to cover half of the event since this is the first time I have really celebrated my birthday with friends.

Of these friends, three couples have kids:

\- Couple A has a newborn. They have made it clear in the past that they like to go out once a month or so without the baby, and they have the grandparents watch the child for adult-only events. They RSVPed for the birthday immediately.

\- Couple B has two kids under four, and they also consistently arrange childcare when we go out. They RSVPed as well.

\- Couple C has a six-year-old daughter....

AITA for “incorrectly” feeding my friend’s nephew while babysitting?

My (23F) friend (24F) is babysitting her nephew (8M) for the weekend, and she received a last minute invite to a party, so she asked me if I could watch him at my apartment for a few hours.

I said sure, and I told her to have him eat dinner beforehand or to send him with money so I can order him food. I watched him once before and had to buy him dinner, and she did not Venmo me for the food until a month later!

She dropped him off, but she didn’t leave any money for me to buy him food, since she is waiting for her family to reimburse her with money. She instead brought a box of rice from her sister’s house (her nephew’s mom), where she has been staying with the boy. She said he loves plain white rice.

I told her I don’t cook, so I don’t know why she brought me food to cook for the boy. But she said it will be fine and will only take me 2 minutes. Then she left me with the boy.

I looked up the instructions to cook the meal. I have not attempted to boil anything before, so this was a first. I put the rice and water in a...

AITA for dancing at a wedding even though I was a plus one to a friend?

My friend and co-worker was invited to his close friend's wedding and received a plus one. Since he had just broken up with his girlfriend, he didn't want to go alone and be seen alone in photos on social media so he asked if I would go with him.

I love weddings and didn't have plans for the weekend and always wanted to see this particular venue in person anyway as I always pictured it for myself so i said yes. I didn't know the bride and groom but I am aware of wedding etiquette such as don't wear white, don't upstage the bride, be polite, etc.

The wedding comes and I show up with my coworker/date. I meet a lot of his buddies and we are all getting along fine. One thing about me is I love to dance and never turn down an opportunity. I was on several dance teams in school so I am semitrained, so it's not uncoiffed or sloppy dancing. During cocktail hour the DJ is playing some great music which I thought was more appropriate for the reception and didn't want to let the songs 'go to waste' so to speak so I danced a little bit. Nothing crazy but I loved the music. People were looking my way but...

AITA for telling my brother he can't have it both ways?

I (F33) am a SAHM with my 3 year old son while my husband works full-time.

This story involves my brother (M31). He is also a parent and lives with his wife and two kids, (F7 and M3). My brother and his wife both work during the day, and their youngest goes to daycare three days a week.

The rest of the week, they usually relied on my mom for childcare. However, she has recently started refusing and said they need to find other arrangements. This caused a pretty big rift in their relationship to the point where my brother wasn't speaking to our mom and my SIL refused to spend Christmas with her. They're on better terms now but it was quite tense.

My brother has asked if I can take my nephew for the 2 days a week. I agreed, it is a bit of extra work for me but he is a good kid and my son looks forward to seeing his cousin. We had this arrangement going since right after the holidays.

Last week, I asked my brother if he and his wife could take care of my son on the Saturday, as my husband and I were attending a child-free wedding. Originally, my MIL had volunteered to babysit but unfortunately...

AITA for refusing to contribute to my friend’s speeding ticket from our holiday rental car?

A few friends and I recently went on holiday and rented a car purely to get us from the airport to the accommodation and back. One friend was the only driver for the trip. We split the rental price between the passengers, and the passengers also covered gas while not asking the driver to contribute, because we thought it was fair not to include them in that as a thank you for driving us around.

After the trip, the driver received a speeding ticket and asked all of us to split it. I told them I didn’t think it was fair for me to contribute because I wasn’t driving and had no control over the speed.

Now they’re upset and saying that because we all benefited from the car, we should all help with the fine.

I feel bad that they’re out of pocket, but I also don’t feel responsible for a driving decision I didn’t make.

AITA for saying no?

AITA for refusing to keep pretending that I like my friend’s “signature dish” at every function?

My friend group has a tradition where we rotate hosting dinners, and one of my friends (let’s call her Jenna) almost always makes the same dish when it's her turn to host, a baked pasta. She’s proud of it and calls it her “signature."

The problem is, it’s honestly not good. It’s weirdly sweet, I think she's adding sugar to the sauce, somehow also bland and has a weird texture. Always overcooked too. I’ve tried to power through it for the past year because everyone else just smiles and says it’s great.

At the last dinner, she specifically asked me what I thought because she “tweaked the recipe.” I kind of dodged the question at first, but she kept pushing, saying she wanted some honest feedback.

So I told her, as gently as I could, that it’s not really to my taste and maybe she could try something different next time. She just got really quiet and didn't say much the rest of dinner. Later, a couple of friends told me I should’ve just lied like everyone else because now she’s embarrassed and might not want to host anymore.

I feel bad, but also.. she asked directly, and I didn’t insult her, just said it wasn’t for me.

AITA for being honest instead of...
