I have a 26 year old daughter who can be kind of a bitch. I’m not trying to insult her because I know she got it from me but she isn’t the nicest person. I met my wife when my daughter, Ava, was 14 and her daughter, Riley, was 13. They hated each other and no amount of counseling or family bonding could fix it so we br... | NTA. Sure they might technically be step-sisters, but they definitely are not *sisters* by what you posted. They didn't grow up at all together and they clearly both do not like each other. Why should Ava have to include someone she doesn't like, and who doesn't like her, out of marital obligation? You 100% are respec... |
Basically my sister (14F) and I (20F) wanted a Nintendo Switch, but it costs a lot of money to get one so we decided to split the cost. Overall the switch + games + accessories cost about $420 (ayyy) and as I have a job and I’m older, I agreed to paying for most of it ($300).
We gave ourselves about 3 months to save u... | NTA. Sure she's 14 but that doesn't mean she's entitled to your stuff where you've spent the time and effort to earn and save.
There was an agreement, and she failed to keep it. You tried to compromise, and she threw it back in your face. 14 is a good time to start learning about saving money, keeping to your promise... |
Title sounds kinda confusing. Also sorry for any grammar mistakes, I’m french, English isn’t first language.
So right now I’m(15F) living with my brother(27) and his boyfriend(24). It’s temporary tho, I’ll be back with my parents in 2 weeks. I’ve been with them for a week, everything was going great.
Yesterday I got... | NTA. Sugar doesn't really expire. And nobody keeps powdered sugar "because of memories because they got it while traveling," and if they did, they wouldn't keep it in the kitchen with all the other ingredients that people use regularly. ###### |
I'm new here, so please forgive any mistakes I may make.
I have two boys with my now ex wife, who decided that after the birth of our second son that she didn't want to be involved anymore. She divorced me, and I was stranded full custody since she didn't want anything to do with our kids anymore. It was certainly an ... | NTA. Sue her for child support for fourteen years. That'll probably get rid of her. ###### |
Awhile back, I (18F) had a doctor's appointment regarding some issues about my period. I hadn't had a period for about year, and I was getting worried, because I'm not sexually active.
My mom went with me to the doctor's appointment and into the room with me for the exam. When the doctor was having me lie down to lis... | NTA. stretch marks are so irrelevant to the whole situation? i cant even fathom why she thought it was relevant. ###### |
Hello,
So I run a shop with a big window in a very busy street. For the last month, a dog has been pooping around the area of my shop, and the owners do not pick up after it. I've had my suspicions about who it was, and got visual confirmation last week.
The day after I got visual confirmation, I caught them again i... | NTA. Stores do this all the time when they post photos of shoplifters. Public shaming is a strong deterrent. I don’t know France’s specific laws on public photography, but most places allow you to photograph someone in public without their consent, so they can’t even get you there. ###### |
I’ll keep it short and sweet. So my friend (I’ll call him Steve) is known as a huge flirt amongst our friends. We call him the bulldog, cause he literally takes every chance he gets to flirt with any female in range, even though he has a girlfriend. From buying girls random stuff to just weird and uncalled for complime... | NTA. Steve is a handsy, horny guy, and so long as his target is consenting, whatever. But you, the boyfriend, were at the ready to help out your girlfriend, and he blocked you off to guide her into a private area, confess to her that he was in a bad spot in his relationship, and he needed her physical touch (via hugs)... |
I’m 22F. Boyfriend “Joe” 22M. BF’s brother “Dan” 25M.
I’ve been living with Joe for 2 years now, and we’ve been dating for 4. Dan is Joe’s maternal half brother and he’s been living with their mom for his entire life—he’s never moved out, until now he has to because their mom finally got sick of him and kicked him out... | NTA. Stand your ground on this one. If you’ve been dating for 4 years, you and Joe are a team. You can evaluate ideas (like this one) on whether or not they would be good for the team. Having Dan move in would definitely not be good for the team! You’d have more stress and less privacy! Once he moved in he probably wo... |
I pay for a spotify premium account. My boyfriend and I shared it, until we broke up. When we broke up, I changed my password because he never made any payments on it.
He says I am in the wrong because he has mental health issues and the music is the only way to calm him down.
I dont think I should have to share be... | NTA. Spotify has a free version. He'll just have to cope with the ads. ###### |
Growing up we were not close with my dad’s family at all. All holidays and special occasions were done with my mom’s family and it was clear as I got older that there was some tension between my mother and my dad’s side of the family. As a teen, I had resentment towards my mom because I felt like she was keeping us fro... | NTA. Sounds more like the aunt wants to be there for selfish reasons. Your dad might be happier, but if she's treated your mom poorly and y'all aren't close, I don't see a reason for you inviting her to the wedding. ###### |
My daughter is home right now from uni. We have a great relationship and we talk about random shit. My sister and her kids are also home right now because her appartement is getting fumigated.
To the story my daughter has known that she has fertility problems since her late teend, due to an illness. Luckily infertilit... | NTA. Sounds like your sister is trying to sound super “woke” and sensitive over something that has absolutely nothing to do with her. Your comment was appropriate to the conversation you were having. ###### |
My granddad was a huge influence in my life. My relationship with my mother was rocky at the best of times and whenever she kicked me out (which was often) he let me stay with him. When I turned 18 I went low (but not a complete lack of) contact with mum and lived with granddad for a while before going to uni, and he m... | NTA. Sounds like your sister has picked up some tricks from your mom! This is a ridiculous thing to fight about, and only someone looking for a reason to peck at other people to establish some sort of control or dominance would complain about it.
My mom lost her oldest brother when she was young. Between her and her... |
My grandparents took me and my siblings out on a bike ride. And when we got back we made lunch. And I made a sandwich with ham and cheese with mayonoise on the bread. And my grandma procceds to throw away the sandwich I made and said. “You won’t like that” and I said. “Yes I will” she then makes me a new sandwich with ... | NTA. Sounds like your grandma is either a control freak or has mental issues. Getting upset over a ham and cheese sandwich with mayo is not normal. ###### |
I have a special tequila I got as a gift. I really like tequila and it’s my only alcohol that I drink.
My boyfriend drank the entire bottle.... i was upset and asked why the fuck he always has to drink any alcohol if it’s in the house.
He was nice and proceeded to go to multiple stores to find the tequila to replac... | Nta. Sounds like your boyfriends an alcoholic who doesn’t respect you or your things. ###### |
Ok so my son never had a girlfriend, never had a crush on one. By the age of 16 he still hadn't got a girlfriend even tho he was a handsome guy. I talked to my wife about what her reaction would be if he turned out gay, she said that he will be dead to her if he is. come next year and our son turns out gay. I comfort h... | NTA. Sounds like you've kept a wonderful son and lost a rotten wife. Best of luck to the both of you! ###### |
I (19f) have cousins that all went to boarding school.
My family is very traditional, and have a long history of sending their children to boarding school. Most of my family members get sent to the UK, US and Canada age 8/9.
When I was young, I got very sick. After that, my parents had separation anxiety when it cam... | NTA. Sounds like you touched a nerve with them lol, but those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, am I right? ###### |
I've had a sinus infection the last few days. Mild fever, congestion, light sensitivity, vomiting, etc. Told him I was going to bed early since I wasn't feeling well, 30 minutes later baby starts crying. "Damn, I don't want to get up." So, husband got up, picked up baby, and handed him to me and sat back down. I glared... | NTA. Sounds like you are shouldering more of the "mental load" in the relationship, even if he does help out when directly instructed to. Having to be the one in charge of assigning tasks (remembering appointments, feedings...the critical but monotonous minutia of life) is exhausting and often thankless work. Definite... |
Last year I (28F) decided to go back to school and my fiance (30M) supported me.
When his mom found out I was starting (we decided not to say anything until it was official) she flipped out.
Why? Because I wouldn't be around to do anything they (I drive his mom, sister, 6 nieces, and his foster brothers where they ... | NTA. Sounds like they need some bus passes. ###### |
(shit title - sorry)
Four years ago our neighbour said she was looking for land to rent- her kids wanted a trampoline. Wife and I offered our yard because a) we had the space and weren’t using it for anything and b) why not be a good neighbour?
And they’ve been good. The kids don’t bounce if we’re outside having a ba... | NTA. Sounds like they are taking advantage of your generous nature. ###### |
My (18M) sister (19F) today has worked a shift at work (6AM-11:15AM). She works in a supermarket, stacking shelves and transporting large amount of items. Of course, when she gets home, she’s really tired (as well as a complication from mono earlier this year, she gets tired easier than a normal person). Our mum comes ... | NTA. Sounds like there’s more going on there with your mother. ###### |
So I bought a pair of shoes that cost £120, when they arrived they had black marks on them (they're red shoes). The shoes normally come with a card that has the shoemaker sign them as a quality control measure. This pair did not come with that so I imagine this process was skipped, or they were shipped hoping no-one wo... | NTA. Sounds like the company was too lazy to provide decent customer service and the price they paid was the Paypal reimbursement. You tried; they didn't. Keep your cash. That said, if you truly can't get past your guilt, then instead of giving the money back (to this foolish corporation) you could instead donate to a... |
To start with, both my parents and grandparents are now dead. But while my grandma was alive, she told me she wanted me and my brother to have our mums share of their house when she went. Her reasoning being, her other children, my aunts and uncle, would all be giving their children, my cousins money from the house, an... | NTA. Sounds like someone needs to be cut out. Your aunt wants to be greedy then she can be greedy without you in her life.
Sorry, these stories irk me. Greedy people irk me. ###### |
My friend gave me his old Nintendo switch. I know my daughter, Jessie, has been wanting a regular switch for awhile. She just has a switch lite.
Right away her eyes lit up and said she would give her old switch to her cousin, Kelsie. Kelsie had to share one with her brother so the girls weren’t able to play online to... | NTA. Sounds like some serious projection from your Brother because of other issues. Unfortunately your daughter only had 1 Switch to give, so she naturally gave it to her best friend, someone that she wants to play games with. It is what it is. Not everyone gets what they want. ###### |
For a little bit of context I understand it's not a bit deal we all have those dreams and I am over reacting on my part by just wanting to be alone for a little bit. My wife tells me she had a dream where we were all at my best friends house and i had to walk outside to do something. During this time she initiates havi... | NTA. Sounds like she was trying to get a reaction out of you. It’s one thing to have a sex dream but to wake up and rub it in your SO’s face? Weird, man. If I were her, I would’ve kept that to myself. ###### |
I’m getting married next year and will be going dress shopping (once out of lock down) my mother has decided she also wants to try on wedding dresses along side me.
I’ve told her no because it’s my big day and I want the attention and fun to be on me as it’s the only time I’d buy a dress of such importance.
She’s sai... | NTA. Sorry, but if she's not going to let the focus be on you during the dress shopping is she going to let it be on you on your big day? ###### |
Throwaway ‘cuz I have older kids on reddit.
So my 10 year old is suuuuuper into his iPad gaming. Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite.... you get the picture. Anyway, one of his favorites has those app subscription services where they give you “points” and allow you to sell your stuff in exchange for $5/month.
This sounded l... | NTA. Sometimes kids need to learn first hand about crap like this. Especially in this day and age where scams are legit everywhere. Now he'll think twice about tossing his unwavering loyalty to a company that doesn't care about him.
All he lost was $5 and the rose colored glasses he had on for this app/company. No ha... |
My (23F) lecturer (40sM) is a nice man - he genuinely cares about our wellbeing and wants us to do well, however he is an absolutely TERRIBLE teacher in every other aspect.
He drastically changed our most recent assignment the WEEK before it was due. It was worth 50% of our grade. I was the top of the class...I’ve ne... | NTA. Something similar happened in uni, but in my case a lot of people reported the professor and eventually she was replaced. If you're not learning then might as well report him. ###### |
My roommate and his girlfriend have been on and off for quite some time. When they fight and break up, she gets drunk and messages me about how much she hates him, and he tells me how much he hates her. When I dont respond to her, she gets upset and starts disrespecting me with insults. He has told me that she is very ... | Nta. Someone who steals and makes false allegations isn’t someone you should have to deal with in your home. You need to move out and find a new roommate ASAP. ###### |
About 6 weeks ago as we were leaving our house we saw a pet rabbit on the road outside our house. It was already dark out. We get home 2 hours later and it's still there.
We park the car and I go onto the road to see if I can catch it - it runs right up to me so I pick it up and take it inside. It's late now so I deci... | NTA. Someone in that house is releasing that rabbit intentionally but couldn't outright admit it. Glad it found you! ###### |
My stepson is 11 and at his school they have these annual events (father-son camping, mother-daughter cooking etc). Late last year they held a mother and son race where the mother had to run across the field and piggy back their sons back to the other side and then tie our legs together and just sprint back across.
A... | NTA. Someone has to act like a Mother if she's not going to. ###### |
Someone in my Facebook friendlist has been posting abhorrent racist contents against black people ever since the movement started (posts that implying black people have a lower IQ than other races, using dehumanizing curse words in our native language to describe black people as a whole, etc...).

Right now, I am the only one who works, albeit from home, but I workover 40 hours a week. My husband is laid off, and we have a 3.5 year old.
BACK STORY: Prior to all of this 3 months ago, my husband was a couch sleeper. He is the type that just falls asleep easy. So 6 days out of 7 I would be the one getting up with ... | NTA. Some dads need to get past the idea that they babysit their kids when its convenient to them. Parenting is 24/7. ###### |
Trying to keep it short as I'm on mobile and typos galore, plus keep to the main points.
Been with my partner about a year. Stayed at his parent's house a few times. His sister is in another country so his nephews stay with his parents. They've also stayed with us during school holidays.
Everytime we are under the s... | NTA. Societal norms aside, it's not kind of your partner to not take your comfort into account in a pattern like this. ###### |
It’s a really nice day out so my mom said she was going to sit outside.
I have been excited about tie dying some old clothes as a fun craft. My mom is not creative at all and never really likes things like that so she just didn’t take any interest. I had all my equipment and was getting ready to roll up the clothes, ... | NTA. So your mom expects you to drop what you're doing to sit outside with her, because she doesn't have any interest in your hobby? She probably started that argument to get you to lose interest in tie dying and sit by her ###### |
So, I’m a teacher at a smallish school in a big(ger) city. I teach junior high, mostly 8th grade classes, and we all know that that’s the age kids start to find themselves and forge their own paths. I had a student this past year, let’s call them Jack. Jack is a young man who was born a girl. One day, he came to me wit... | NTA. So what if is a fad? Let the kid explore the identity during youth. If it just a fad it will pass like any other fad, as long as no life changing decisions are made kid will be fine, and if it isn't, they are just being people the child cannot count on. ###### |
I live one hour away from my parents, in a house with 5 housemates. Without asking, my mom called me to not ask, but TELL me that my sister will be moving in.
My sister? She lives with my parents. She is 18 and a slob. My parents have kept my room as is since I’ve moved out. I sleep in my old room when I come to visi... | NTA. So they never asked just assumed that what they say will happen. You shouldn't even have to run and hide behind your landlord or housemates, just tell them no and why. If they can't handle the truth then they need to change not your decision.
Just my opinion: I grew up with my family telling me i "have to do" so... |
This argument happened over FaceTime but it was pretty big and my dad is furious at me and has been sending angry text messages so I’m taking it here.
I (32M) was FaceTiming my dad (57M) and his girlfriend (27F) on Tuesday when they surprised me that my dad had proposed. I don’t like my dads girlfriend and to be hone... | NTA. So they got together when he was 47 and she was 17? Why do you have any contact? She isn’t the bad guy here no matter how easy it would be to see that. She was a kid and he was a disgusting predator. ###### |
I live with three roommates, were supposed to split bills four ways. Not my ideal living situation but I was unexpectedly moving after a breakup.
One of my roommates, Lucy, has not paid her share of the electric bill in months, she says she just hasn't gotten around to setting up the service (venmo) we all use to pa... | NTA. So she had money but planned to not pay her share anyway? Fuck that. ###### |
My grandfather died at the age of 83. He had like 5 or 6 brothers/sisters, so the family is quite big and almost everyone (4 generations) came to his funeral.
Everyone met at the cemetery reception/outside. There were more people than I could even count, and I didn't even know half of them. So, as people gravitated to... | NTA. So long as they weren’t offensive or at your grandfather’s expense. ###### |
I'm going on a six month deployment with the military and will be exiting my current lease with roommates. This is something I have been planning so I can save money while I am away and have storage figured out with my family for the items I will be keeping.

My girlfriend has been having worries about h... | NTA. So let’s be clear.
She has large savings. The ability to move. The ability to get a roommate... are you really concerned she would be homeless? If she is homeless with all those things going for her she is either daft or very lazy. Neither of those things are attractive in a partner.

We've been together for 16 years and have always had multiple dogs. We currently have 4--2 Akitas, a Rottweiler and a Westie. About a year ago, her grandson was bitten by his dog (at his home) and ever since then my wife has become increasingly hostile to our dogs (No lasting damage to the boy). Now she has them barric... | NTA. So let me get this straight. Your grandson, at his own home was bite by his own dog, not one of your dogs and now your wife wants to suddenly start testing then like garbage? Yea you’re not the asshole and honestly i would pick my dogs over her any day because that’s absolutely ridiculous. When you get a dog you ... |

Me 16m and my brother 12m get along pretty much well.
He will more often than not though *always* leave a dish or crumbs or idk something left over on my bed after he was in there for a little bit and its gotten annoying.

AITA?
So first some background... I’m a short woman (5’2” ish) and my husband is pretty tall (about 6’3”) so when we go out together he usually asks me to wear heels which I don’t really mind depending on where we are going/ what we are doing.
So anyway, one day we are going to the mall and it’s early fall so I put... | NTA. So he makes you wear them then complains about the noise they produce? What a ridiculous man. Your husband sounds controlling and petty, and this whole post reads like a glaring red flag. I am easily overstimulated by noise, so I can understand to a tiny degree *but* I would never get angry with someone over som... |
Me and the gf decided to watch an episode of this show we are watching and about 30mins in I go to check my phone to reply to a message and she slaps the phone out of my hand on to the bed.
I huffed and said can she not do that and as soon as I picked the phone up she did it again.
I got annoyed and said to her stern... | NTA. Slapping anything, anywhere out of anger or annoyance is a total no-no. Doing it a second time after being asked not to is even more of a no-no because it's physical aggression *and* violates a stated boundary. Getting "sad" at you being upset over her doing those things is manipulative and, for me, would be edgi... |
So I live in a small flat with just one other roommate (female). Three months ago, she started dating this new guy and recently he's been staying over just about every night and staying through the day as well (sometimes even while my roommate is at work). He works ridiculous hours and often finishes work past midnight... | NTA. Six days a week is excessive. He sounds like a nice enough guy, but he should at least be offering to contribute to bills. ###### |
This is an awkward one... so making it short
I am a 22 year old guy living with parents right now. My 84 year old grandmother, after the death of her husband, became depressed and her health declined rapidly. She has become quiet and frail, with the intelligence of a baby, and she cannot even eat or go bathroom witho... | NTA. Sitting in urine covered clothes can lead to skin breakdown, infections, hospitalization or even worse. As awkward as it might be, you did the right thing and potentially saved your grandmother a lot of pain and suffering down the line. ###### |
It's an open secret in my office that my boss, one of those raving fundamentalist types, puts things like ideological conformity first and foremost when doling out opportunities for advancement.
Yes, I know that's technically illegal, but we're in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas and half the time the police won't even... | NTA. Since it shouldn’t be relevant anyway, lie your heart out. But FYI the police are not the ones who respond to or investigate this type of discrimination. ###### |
My brother and I are extremely close, he got engaged a few months back and we are all happy for him and his fiance. I am also close with his fiance, she is a sweet girl but suffers from chronic migraines at least 4 times a month (these are so bad that she literally just sleeps all day when these hit) and is very depres... | NTA. Should've just told her that you don't like to associate business and family. Would've been more understanding and the drama would've been avoided. ###### |
I(15F) have been babysitting my lil brother O(4 months) since he was a newborn because my mom and her boyfriend both work nights. I used to have a schedule where I would alternate nights with my other brother J(17M) and for about the first month I got irritated a few times but it wasn't enough to deter me. J eventually... | NTA. Short of a truly dire situation, minor-age children should absolutely NOT be relied on as regular childcare for other minor-age children. Watching your baby brother for maybe and hour here and there is one thing, but entire days/night? AW HAIL NAW! If your mom and her bf couldn't afford daycare while they were at... |
My sister has recently created a new instagram account that she only lets her friends follow, I thought nothing of it but one of our mutual friends sent me a screenshot of the account. It was nothing but posts about her talking shit about me, our cousin, and a couple of her other friends. I went to confront my sister... | NTA. Shes being mean, she gets what she deserves ###### |
I live in a shared house. When I'd buy groceries they would magically disapear or whenever I would cook my (older female) roomie would ask me to share.
Neither of us like cooking or doing dishes. I agreed to cook if she would wash the

I was home alone so I thought "I'll clean my room".

So I (20M) am friends with her (20F). She moved from America with her family around a year ago for permanent here to England.
One of the things she was surprised by was the usage of the word cunt. She came with me to a lot of parties and would hear the word used a lot by both guys ans girls.alike.
She definitely was... | NTA. She’s the asshole for not believing a person from the UK about what’s common IN the UK. Though I’d love to hear how her taking a stand against its use works out for her. ###### |
I'll try and keep it as brief as I can. I own my house, and have a tandem driveway with a rental house. The owner is an older lady who inherited the house when her mom died (she's about 75 and lives downtown). For the past 10 years, a new tenant moves in, I become friends with them, and then they leave because the land... | NTA. She’s running a scam on renters and making it the community’s problem. She’s not even part of that community if she lives in a different area. I’d go a step further and say you have a morale obligation to report the house and protect future renters from the deposit scam. If I were in your position, I’d ask to be ... |
Ok I'm on mobile so please bear with.

With all of my extra time, I have become ( or so I think) a master landscaper- working nonstop on my yard.

A long story pretty short, my dad gave my mother a necklace with a pink diamond in it when they got married, which he got from a housewife he worked as a butler for years before that. She gave the necklace to me when I got married but the clasp was broken so I couldn't wear it.
I was planning to give it to my daughter... | NTA. She’s got some balls on her still going to just pick it up like it’s all good. ###### |
For context, I am a White and Japanese 17 year old non-binary person. My dads father came from Japan and met my paternal grandmother a White woman. My dad married my mother (an blue-eyed irish polish white woman) and had me. I came out with curly, (My mother) dark hair (My dad) and blue eyes (My mother) I am pale.

It’s not like you’re a totally white person who just became obsessed with anime and now pretend they’re Japanese to like fetishize Asian ppl or something. J... |
My friend posted a massive status on Facebook after discovering her bf cheated on her. She then called me crying basically saying the same thing. How her boyfriend cheated on her with another woman, how devistated she is, how she is a strong woman who doesn't need that, how men can never be trusted and finally how she ... | NTA. She’s a huge hypocrite if she thinks her cheating is any different, and honestly deserved to get a taste of her own medicine. Whether she wanted to hear that or not, it seemed necessary at this point. Maybe it’ll prevent her from doing it again in the future. ###### |
So, I have a younger sister. She is twelve, and I am eighteen (I'm a high school Senior). Ever since we were younger, she has always asked me to do small tasks for her (such as bringing her an object, or throwing something out for her). At first, I didn't really mind. I didn't want to be mean, and it wasn't that big of... | NTA. She’s 12, so she’s definitely old enough to do things like get a drink or plug up her phone. Asking for favors like that once in a while is common, but it shouldn’t be such a frequent occurrence. ###### |
I might have overreacted, but here goes. I (25f) have a 30 year old sister, and she is very controlling and loves telling me what to do, as well as our two brothers. Bit of a control freak who involves herself in everyone's business. She's a bit obsessed with my hair, it's thick and hers is very thin, so you know what ... | NTA. She's watching you wash your hair in the shower/bath and commenting on it? That's incredibly creepy and a huge invasion of privacy. ###### |
I'm a trucker, so I'm on the road 6 days a week, working about 12 hours a day, and I keep my truck clean inside. My wife works 12 hours a week, and the house is constantly a mess, and when I say something to her about it, it usually pisses her off, then she says she'll do it, but never does. Am I being an asshole by as... | NTA. She's the one at home making the mess, and not cleaning up after herself while you are out earning an income; assuming you are not a total slob at home. The reason she is getting pissed of is because she knows its true and doesn't want to deal with it. Keep engaging. ###### |
Long story short, my mother spent money she didn't have, couldn't pay rent and is now living with me and my wife. She wanted to pay me rent while she lives with us, but I said she didn't have to so she could pay her debt and get a place of her own sooner. So she said she would be cleaning the house to compensate, I sai... | Nta. She's taking advantage of you and risking your wife's safety. ###### |
So a few months ago my Gf had to get a skin lesion cut out. Just removing an infection about the size of a dime then stitching it back up. She asked me about a week before if I would go with her. I told her I don’t think so because I had just started my last semester of college and had class at the time. She said okay,... | NTA. She's TA, not for asking you to skip class, but for guilting you into it and then bringing up the fact that you ALMOST didn't skip class three months later. It may seem like a trivial matter but it's a red flag about her neediness and desire to shame you into catering to her demands. ###### |
Sometimes I like to get high then go for a long walk with headphones in and just get lost in the music I'm listening to. It gets me outside, get me moving, and I feel super happy and relaxed when I get back inside.
Yesterday I decided to roll a joint and smoke it as I walk. Usually I do this at night, or smoke before... | NTA. She's probably just concerned about her kid and drugs and setting a "bad example" for him. However, I think you should avoid smoking near people if you're walking in public, even if it is legal to smoke anywhere. ###### |
This has been going on for a while but I think the tipping point happened a couple days ago. She had asked me (22m) if I was circumcised, to which I told her I was not; she proceeded to say things like gross and we’re getting you circumcised in a joking manner...etc.
In that particular situation I could more or less ... | NTA. She's probably insecure, though, and trying to look knowledgeable but she's just coming off as a jerk. ###### |
I've been friends with this girl for a short while and she has this habit of playing devil's advocate in conversations to see the 'true side of me' as she puts it, her reasoning is that if she doesn't do it I won't give my true opinion.
She's done it since we met, I don't even know who she is since she always seems to... | NTA. She's playing mind games and gaslighting you for kicks. I encourage you to cut ties - while trying so hard (for reasons unknown) to see "the real you", she isn't letting you see the real her. You deserve genuine friends who genuinely interact with you. If she wants to play devil's advocate, she can say so like ... |
So me and my girlfriend have been dating for 2 years now (the first time we went on a date and kissed passed a few days ago, she didn’t even mention it but I did). But I’m not too mad because our official relationship began about a couple months later.
So we have a dog together. She’s upset that I didn’t FaceTime her... | NTA. She's not a mother, and there's no reasonable expectation that a person should interpret Mother's Day to mean "owns a pet." I am assuming she did not extend you the same courtesy on Father's Day. ###### |
I have a very close friend, J, we have known each other for over 20 years, lived together, talk regularly, supported each other through ups and downs and since we both lost our parents have said how much we regard each other as family. Truly, we have always said how we feel like sisters.
J is getting married next year... | NTA. She's more concerned making drama with someone who she clearly doesn't want there, but still wants your support only to leave you out behind the door later? Looks like your friend is not that good of a friend. ###### |
Throwaway account for privacy reasons.
My (18M) girlfriend (19F) found out about 4 days ago that she didn’t get this dream job offer that she got an interview for. I spent the next day and half consoling and comforting her, after which she thanked me and said she felt better. The following night, I found out I got ele... | NTA. She's likely feeling a bit raw and disappointed over the lost opportunity, but you were well within your rights to say that you were elected to a position. It's okay to have success, as long as you weren't being over the top about it. ###### |
About six months ago I installed security cameras on my property. One indoors to monitor the baby's room and three outdoors: one facing the porch, one my backyard, and one my rear door. I have a hot tub by the rear door.
Having cameras facing front door or porch is pretty typical, right? People use Ring doorbells or w... | NTA. She's lashing out because she got caught violating your trust. ###### |
Shes 38f(im 29F if it matters), divorced 2 times, 1 kid from each, high school diploma, and a secretary. which i dont find anything wrong with shes getting by fine enough. But she keeps complaining about being single and how no "real man" that meets her standards will step up for her and her kids.
Her standards are m... | NTA. She's just mad because you're right. ###### |
She says her $40k+ trust fund is for her future. Makes me feel like my income from work is not for us. The whole 'your money is ours, but mine is mine.'
And I am steadily paying for more and more, without any help (aside from TrumpBucks, which are already gone) because her paycheck has been cut by more than 80%, as s... | NTA. She's financially abusing you, making you share your finances without sharing hers, placing an extraordinary expectation on you, and verbally abusing you while you're taking on two people's financial burden. Plus manipulating you with the threat of leaving.
Call her bluff, let her go to her parent. If you're pay... |
My GFs family is pretty "high class" or whatever you want to call it, they're basically the opposite of my family in many ways both financially and socially. My mum smokes and drinks a lot and is a single mother who has been married twice, while my GFs mum is the opposite. My mum and my family are not educated and most... | NTA. She's being condescending and classist. It sounds like she doesn't respect you if she thinks people who work in manual labor are stupid, which is also really naive on her part.
My spouse and I, who are from poor/disadvantaged backgrounds, have discussed how it's hard to date someone who comes from a different ba... |
So my girlfriend recently was hooked onto this stupid tiktok trend where the girl gets naked and goes up to their boyfriend while he is gaming to see what he would do.
Now she being hooked onto the trend wants me to do the same as some of the guys in the tiktoks where they immediately pause their game and jump onto t... | NTA. She's basically waiting until you are doing something else and then demanding your attention. Seems pretty shitty to me. ###### |
Note: This was 3 months ago
My sister asked me if my niece could try an babysit our children. I assumed it would be cheaper because of a family discount and all that. Apparently it’s not. She charges $10 per hour per child. I have 2 10 year olds. They don’t need that much babysitting. I’m not paying 50% more just for... | NTA. She's basically just trying to charge you to interact with your kids. Tell her she's more than free to visit whenever. ###### |
My 35F wife 37F has a cavity she’s needed fixed since January, but didn’t want to do it as she is afraid of dentists. Me too, so I totally get it. Since then, though, it’s gotten a lot worse.
Now she won’t go because she’s afraid of the coronavirus. Normally I would shrug off not wanting to go right now as overkill bu... | NTA. She will be a in a whole lot of pain soon enough and she will wish she went earlier. ###### |
this happened last year but it got brought up again recently and opinions are split. more like 'are we the asshole'
context: i grew up in a country where usage of the word 'fag' is very lenient. i also grew up in a family of smokers. this is important because where i live, 'fag' is common slang for a ciggie. i didn't ... | NTA. She was in your country, she can't possibly expect to enforce American English on you. ###### |
So for context I (16F) live with my mother and two younger brothers.
My mom sometimes enters the bathroom while I’m occupied in it. This doesn’t happen every single time i’m in there, but over the years she has done it quite a lot.
I take around 30 minute showers. Sometimes she needs to use the restroom or she need... | NTA. She was continually violating your privacy and her reasoning was flawed. I’m not sure how she didn’t expect you to lash back at her. She picked the lock too?! You have every right to be pissed at her. She disrespects you’re privacy and doesn’t listen when you say no! ###### |
My friends and I (20M, we all around 20) go into a group facetime call and just chill and talk on it. Sometimes we play games, but we mainly just talk, we usually call for literal hours.
Theres this one girl in our group call, that has recently started learning how to play the ukulele.
It's great and all, but its rea... | NTA. She was being rude, you asked her to stop, and she tried to drown you out by singing. ###### |
Today I got a brand new lego set for the first time in 5 years for my birthday. My step dad gifted it to me. The set is the lego ideas steam boat Willie. After I finished building it I kept it on my desk and I love and play with it as I love Disney.
I have a 13 year old half sister who in the morning took that set an... | NTA. She tore your set apart to add pieces to hers, and when you did the same she threw a fit. ###### |
My friend "bought" my knock off apple pen for $20, she still hasn't given me the money for it yet. I never used the pen to draw as I thought I would when I bought it from eBay but I used the magnetic cap as a fidget type of stress reliever and really miss it. I have avoided giving her the charger till she pays me but m... | NTA. She took it with the promise of paying for it and she hasn’t paid it yet. Tell her mom about it as soon as possible so she can’t make up a story to make you in the wrong. ###### |
So this is a throwaway because my sister is in here. Writing from a phone so excuse the shitty format.
So I(f18) recieved the first gift from my boyfriend this month. We're in a long distance relationship so I was all excited and stuff. He bought me a silver necklace, chocolates, and a dozen pairs of lovely and funny ... | NTA. She told you, her twin, that she hopes you DIE?? Oh my gosh!! That is an ALARMING overreaction. ###### |
Hello, I am relatively young and my first language is English so flame me if I get anything wrong.
Recently I dated this girl and everything was fine at first, I let her use my belongings (My drawing pad, hoodies and some other items) under the condition that I would get them back eventually. I never asked for the ite... | NTA. She threatened to commit a crime so you threatened to call the police. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. ###### |
This was years ago. I was a server and one of my fellow servers left his book with 100-ish dollars cash in it and forgot about it, pregnant server found it (in front of me) and decided to keep the cash and cut me in. Being friends with the server who left his book, i yanked his chain about "forgetting something" and e... | NTA. She stole from a coworker and promptly and rightly got fired. You do your friend a favour and I hope he got his money back.
There have been many times where I wished justice had come so swiftly to thieving or shady former coworkers. ###### |
So tomorrow my little cousin is having her 10th birthday party (close family only bc of pandemic). In April, my stepdad passed away from a sudden cardiac arrest. He'd been my and my siblings (19F, 17F, 15M) stepdad for over 13 years, and my 12 year old brother is his son.
My mom is wanting to bring a date to my cousi... | NTA. She sounds super insensitive. Bringing a random internet/blind date for a family event is very weird, especially when it is a birthday party. ###### |
So, my family has traditions for certain significant birthdays (18,21,30, 50, 75, 90). My next birthday will be my 30th. I'm female. On the 30th my dad takes the kid who is 30, their spouse, and any children they have on a cruise. My sister and I have a somewhat volatile relationship and it gets bad at times, I recentl... | NTA. She sounds ridiculous. And I don’t think you need to explain yourself because you don’t owe her answers, but if you wanted to I would leave it at “sorry sister, for my birthday I want to spend quality time with my husband and parents. I’m glad that for your birthday you were able to have a bunch of people on the ... |
Backstory: I (20F) live with my cousin Skylar (24F). We've been butting heads forever but it's a family renal.
She can be really cringy and it irritates me that she thinks everything she does is absolutely original, everything from wearing black nail polish in middle school to cutting cropped shirts. Last week she dye... | NTA. She sounds entitled and full of herself. People like that need a wake up call, you did her a favor. ###### |
So this happened yesterday.
My (14F) mother (43F) was mentioning report card and tests yesterday due to you-know-what. She eventually decided to go through all our old report cards. Now would be a good time to mention that I have a brother who is 9 and we suspect is mildly autistic.
So we go through them and eventu... | NTA. She shouldn't be grounding you for being proud of your achievements. It sounds like there's sone blatant favoritism going on. ###### |
Throw away account. Okay so I’m at a crossroad atm. A friend and I moved in together last year, but now we’re going to separate apartments. We got along really well, and moved out due to the fact that she got a boyfriend and wanted to move in with him.
Anyways, when it came to the security deposit, I offered to help ... | NTA. She should of discussed payment before doing the cleaning her mother being a professional knows that and should of made sure costs were discussed. Your "friend" is trying to take advantage after the fact. ###### |
I (M27) went to high school with a girl (F27) but we lost contact for a few years. In January this year she randomly added me on Instagram and we got talking. She went on about how she always thought I was cute and that she had a crush on me. She definitely knew I liked her back then.
After speaking everyday for a mon... | NTA. She should have disclosed the fact that she had a baby and still had a thing with the father of her child. You're not obligated to keep messaging her in light of this new (bombshell) information. This isn't high school anymore, the little games aren't cute even then, and they sure as hell aren't now. You dodged a... |
I’m sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language,
My friend has been a friend of mine for a long time, because she didn’t have a car I used to give her rides to fun activities we could both do like partying, going to the mall, going to the beach, you get the idea.
Well one day she got pregnant from an u... | NTA. She should grow up and learn the responsibility that comes with the choices she made. Being her only friend with a car does not make you her automatic chauffeur. Live your life. She's gotta figure hers out. ###### |
AITA for not helping out my stepmom in caring for my father?
My father and his wife have a 22 year age gap. I don't really have much of a relationship with my dad and maybe call him once a year on his birthday. His health has worsened in the last few years and now needs assistance to perform his day to day normal act... | NTA. She should either be looking at nursing homes or in home nursing for him. You cannot be expected to pick up and move in with a dad you barely talk to when he has a wife that can take care of him. You are nice to offer money to help out. Especially considering how much you are helping out your mom and step dad. ##... |
I have always been a fairly small guy, and at 5'8 weighed about 125 lbs. I was also fairly weak for a while. My girlfriend often teases me about this (completely jokingly, she means no harm by this at all) as she has been lifting regularly for over a year now, and was definitely stronger than me.
Recently the teasing... | NTA. She should be excited you started lifting so you two could workout together. It’s also good for your health. She’s the asshole for all the teasing, sounds like it was too much or went too far. ###### |
I'm a trucker, so I'm on the road 6 days a week, working about 12 hours a day, and I keep my truck clean inside. My wife works 12 hours a week, and the house is constantly a mess, and when I say something to her about it, it usually pisses her off, then she says she'll do it, but never does. Am I being an asshole by as... | NTA. She should at least clean for herself considering that she is the one living with the mess most of the time. I can't understand how someone could be ok surrounded by a mess and dirtiness. ###### |
I was driving down Colfax which is a main Street in Denver the other day and I saw a lady taking pictures of a homeless person that was wearing a winter coat in 75° weather and passed out on their stomach like a starfish at bus stop in front of Sprouts which is a more annoying version of trader joes. It could have been... | NTA. She seems to lack the depth and warmth to be a cunt, however.
Good on you for calling for help and behaving as a *human being*. ###### |
Girlfriend and I have been dating for 3 years, living together for 2, she's 20F and I'm 21F
From what I've been told she was raised in a household where it was very "waste not want not"(?) And anything that so much as touched your plate got ate, no matter how full you are.
My girlfriend lives by that, she physically ... | NTA. She said your gf is an adult, and then decided that gf doesn't get to decide what size plate to use for dinner in her own home. Nice woman. ###### |
My mother has two children, me (28M) and my sister (30F)
I’ve been with my wife for 7 years, she (34F) has a 9 year old son, I picked up the fatherly duties as his dad wasn’t around and he views me as his dad which I’m really happy about.
My mother is obsessed with having grandchildren, I always thought she saw my so... | NTA. She ruined her own birthday by being a bag. My older sister has a 15 year old step daughter that we "got" when she was 2. My mom insists that she's the best grandkid ever because she was potty trained before she started coming round. You keep being a good dad, OP. It doesn't matter where your kids come from. ####... |
One of my high school best friend is getting married and it’s a big deal for her we’ve talked about this as long as I can remember. I’m really happy for her but I am a full time college student and I work on top of volunteer work for my major. I would really like to help but if I’m being realistic it’s an extra thing I... | NTA. She probably thought threatening to remove you from the party would cause you to focus on her more. You agreed with her, which made her more angry because her attempts at manipulating you didn’t work. I think you were totally reasonable. ###### |
My friend posted a massive status on Facebook after discovering her bf cheated on her. She then called me crying basically saying the same thing. How her boyfriend cheated on her with another woman, how devistated she is, how she is a strong woman who doesn't need that, how men can never be trusted and finally how she ... | NTA. She probably needed to hear that. ###### |
