AITA for breaking up with my BF because he left my 8yo son at home as a punishment?

This is a tough one, as I can't tell if my mama bear instincts are simply taking over. But something is telling me to run for the hills on this and literally everyone is telling me I'm the one in the wrong here.

I've been with my BF for 3 years. I have an 8yo son and a 12yo son. He has a 11yo daughter and a 6yo son. We just introduced all of the kids about a year ago and in the more recent months, we have been doing weekend stays at my place. Back a couple weeks ago we planned to go to the water park today with all the kids. We told all the kids and they were very excited to go. I had to work for a couple hours early this morning so the plan was for my BF to drive all the kids to the water park at noon and I would meet up with them at that time.

I get to the water park at noon as planned and he only has 3 kids with him. My 8yo was not with him. I start freaking out, asking where my son is. He tells me that my son apparently wouldn't take care of his laundry (that I did last night), so he decided that since he refused to listen to him and refused to take care of his clothes, that he would not be attending the water park because it's considered a treat and my son did not "earn" it. He tells me that my mother has my son (she lives with me, as she's elderly). I immediately tell my older son to get in my car. My BF asks what I'm doing and I say that I'm going to get my kid and that he is absolutely wrong for thinking HE has any authority to punish my child. I didn't tell my son to put his clothes away, so I asked him why he thinks he has the right to go on a power trip and step in to tell my child to do anything without first discussing it with me. He starts getting irritated and tells me that I shouldn't expect him to jump on board if he has no say on how the kids are raised and that it's important for the kids to see us working together as a team and being on the same page in a form of punishments so that hostile or resentful environments aren't created. And once again told me that my son did not earn his right to the water park and if him and I had already made a plan than my son should have stepped up and said something. I told him he wasn't welcome back at my house and we were done.

I then drove home, packed up all of the items that he and his children had at my home and left it at the end of the driveway and told him to come collect it before people think it's free items. I locked the doors, told my mother not to let him in and I took off with my children to go to a separate water park. He is blowing up my phone at this point because I'm apparently being "ignorant" and I'm "ruining" my son by making him entitled and not making him earn his way. AITA?

AITA for walking out the room after my brother told me the name of his baby?

I am only a teenager but my mother had my brother at 16 making him in his 30’s. Ever since i was young I have always talked about naming my future daughter Scarlett, I don’t know why but I have always adored the name. Every time the topic of babies, names, and children comes up I always say that my daughter will be called Scarlett, everyone in my family knows this. Last week, my sister law gave birthday to a healthy baby girl, as you can probably guess, they named Scarlett. I was really upset at my brother as he knows that was my top name, I didn’t make a big deal about it I just left the room obviously upset, Scarlett isn’t a family name or anything and my brother has never mentioned liking the name, one time he said he wasn’t a fan. I asked him why he would name his daughter that and he told me to stop over reacting and get over it and that i don’t own the name. I get that It doesn’t belong to me but just because I am a teenager doesn’t mean that I am not allowed to have plans for my future.

EDIT: when i say walked out I didnt like storm out or anything i just excused myself. A lot of people are saying that its common for cousins to have to same name but not here and in my family. And. Scarlett isnt a common name here ❤️❤️

Some people are confused, im a girl. And im not sixteen 😂❤️

AITA for refusing to accept my mom’s friend’s MacBook after her autistic son broke mine and asking her to buy me a new one?

I (16F) got a brand new MacBook Pro for my birthday last month. My family isn’t rich and I don’t usually get gifts like that. My parents said they got me that because I’ve been doing great at school and they thought I deserved something nice after using an old Chromebook for years.

A few days ago, my mom’s friend came over with her kids (14F and 10M). We were in my room and me and the girl were sitting on my bed talking while the boy was on the floor playing with some Legos (he is autistic). He walked over to my desk, opened my laptop, and told me to give him the password so he could play Roblox. I told him he can’t play on my computer and he started crying and saying it’s not fair and he’s bored. I told him to go get his mom’s phone if he’s bored and he said he wants to play on my laptop. When I said no again, he threw it on the floor and stomped on it.

I went outside and told my mom. His mom apologized and said she would pay for the repairs. I told her that I don’t think it’s repairable because it’s completely smashed. He threw it open with the screen facing down. The thing that connects the screen to the keyboard snapped, the screen was filled with cracks, and it was dented all over. We took it to a repair shop and they told us that it can’t be fixed and we should just buy a new one instead.

My mom called her friend and told her that. She came over with her MacBook and said I could have that instead. I told her that I don’t want her 5 year old MacBook Air, I want her to give me $1800. My mom is on my side and she is going to give us the money, but she’s not happy about it. She said she was planning to buy her daughter a laptop because she’s going to high school and her son a PS5 for his birthday and she won’t be able to do that because I was greedy. I don’t care that her brat isn’t getting a PS5 but I kinda feel bad for her daughter because this wasn’t her fault. She’s been telling all of her and my mom’s other friends that I’m a spoiled brat and this wouldn’t have happened if I’d let her precious baby boy play Roblox or given him my phone. He also didn’t really understand what he’s doing because he’s autistic.

AITA for not retaking the family photo since my DIL was not in it

Every couple of years we get everyone together and do family a giant family photo. In total it is about 40 people.

Our last one was in 2018 and we decided to do this again. I organize the whole thing and everyone was told that small pictures will be done at 4 and the big picture was at five. Afterwards we get dinner.

The issue is that my son and DIL were running late. Wasn't a big deal since it was just small pictures. They get here in time for the large picture. I asked everyone to be there on time. I called twice asking if anyone is missing. Everyone is lined up and the photographer takes like 15 minutes of the big picture.

Everyone is hungry and hurrying to get food. My DIL soon comes out asking about the picture. It is around 5:30 at this point. She told me that she was in the bathroom fixing her hair when the picture was being taken. She asked me to round everyone up again to get a picture

I told her no, that she was late coming to the event and couldn't care enough to actually be on time for the picture. I am not gathering everyone up again and paying the photographer an extra hour ( he was done and packing up at this point)

This caused a huge argument between her and me. My son is demanding I get her in the picture and I told him to pay someone to photoshop her in

AITA?

AITA for forcing my family to babysit (so i won't have to)??

I'm (19f) living at home, working a part-time job, doing some freelance stuff and taking some online courses all in preparation for attending college next year. My sister (25f) had her 1st child 8 months ago. The father isn't involved and only pays CS.

My mom is excited to have her first grandchild and is constantly offering to look after the baby so my sister can feel at ease working full time and afterwards, will have some time for herself to relax. The thing is, about 70% of the time I'll be the one looking after the baby, and while I admit that I enjoy it and like spending time with him, I can't help but feel mad because they don't have any consideration for my time. Mom would drop the baby while I'm in the middle of my lessons because "you can always watch the recordings later" or "just ask someone to tell you what it was about". Or when I'm working in my freelance stuff because "looking after the baby doesn't really require much" when I complain about getting delayed in my projects.

My breaking point happened last week when my mother and sister left the baby with me for a whole day because I mistakenly told them I didn't have to work and would be staying at home to catch up with some pending stuff and study. I told them both irresponsible and they called me a spoiled brat. That night, my grandma and other members of the extended family were calling and sending me messages about the importance of helping family, and to understad that my sister doesn't have it easy being a single mom. I got mad and sent a message to the family group chat saying that they were right, helping family is important and we all should be supportive of my sister. I then proceeded to write a schedule in which all of us could take care of the baby. Because one aunt goes to visit grandma on mondays and wednesday's mornings they could babysit those days. Eldest cousin and her siblings ar at ther home fridays afternoon??? well, they can babysit that time... and so on. I left saturday mornings and tuesday evenings as my time to babysit. My sister and my mom were very pleased with the arrangement. The other family... not so much. And when someone pointed out that my sister didn't get the baby for a whole day, discussions about my sister being an irresponsable mother started, with my mother trying to defend her.

AITA for causing this??? How come they were expecting me to be my sister's unpaid nanny, but then they get offended when the same thing is being forced on them?? I may be the AH because I caused this and don't regret it one bit.

AITAH for refusing to leave my gf to be with my wife?

My wife and I have been separated for 3 years before that we were together for 10 years and married for 9. I loved her very deeply and we were very happy. We had our children who are 12&10. After the children the sex became something I had to beg for. She never initiated it and I got rejected 99% of the time. At first I would say something and she would say I was nagging her. Then I asked her to go to marriage counseling and in one of the sessions she just snapped and said that we have our children now so what is the point of sex. I give her that she seemed to regret it immediately when she said it and said it was just a joke because she felt cornered by the therapist. She tried to disprove her statement by paying me attention but it only took a week for her to go back to her old ways. That’s when I decided I will drop the whole subject. I thought when she wanted sex she could talk to me.

This was 8 years ago. We never had sex, until about a year before our separation, I told my wife that I was unhappy and wanted change and maybe marriage counseling again and sex therapy but she was dismissive and said that I was nagging and why couldn’t I just be happy? she was happy and didn’t think we had a problem. I did love her still by then so it was hard for me to leave because we often leave when the love is gone. It took me a year to put my affairs in order and I told my wife that I was leaving her. I found a rental near my house so we can co-parent easier.

I started meeting women for casual sex but 2 years ago I met my gf. She is amazing in every aspect. I realized that I have true feelings for her very early on but we kept our relationship private for a while. Everything was good and everyone was happy. Now I have made my relationship public and a week ago I got a call from my mom and she asked me to visit her. She told me that my wife wants us to start counseling and therapy and reconcile. I wasn’t sure what to tell her because I have never told anyone the reasons for our separation. So she called my wife and my wife was there within 5 minutes (liek they had planned this) my wife said that she promise to make changes and that she has been thinking about it. She loves me and we are a family. My mom said I was selfish for throwing my daughters for a woman. Then my mom left to do shopping for dinner and my wife came on to me and tried to kiss and touch me and said that she was willing to give me what I wanted and start counseling. I backed away because I felt like I was betraying my gf.

I got home and I told my gf everything. She didn’t say much more than I should make this decision myself. She probably feels guilty for standing in the way children getting their family back. But I don’t love my wife and I don’t want her pity or doing things for me. I want my gf who wants me and gives me herself willingly. But now this turned into me choosing a woman over my daughters

Update: AITAH - For saving sexy photos of my wife that she sent me during dating phase

I wrote a post yesterday about my wife wanting me to delete her sexy photos that she sent me during our dating period. I wanted to thank everyone for so many mature and nice suggestions. I know my life is not as scandalous as many people who post on this forum but wanted to give an update on what happened.

We put our kids to bed last night and I was sitting in the bedroom. My wife came to me and started cuddling. She asked me if I deleted the photos. I told her I have not, and I am really attached to the memories of our early dating days, and it reminds me how far we have come. I told her that I understand that we both do not look the same as 15 years ago, but my love and attraction to her has only grown since then. When we started dating, she was this hot girl online that who I had so much in common with. But, after 12 years of marriage, I still see her the same, but more. Now, that hot girl is my family and she made three gorgeous mini versions of me (2 boys and a girl). I also told her that I look at those photos because they remind me of time when our relationship was so new and how crazy we were.

I asked her if I did or say anything to make her feel bad about herself, based on how she reacted. As many of you guessed, she said that it was not about what I did. She just remembered how she looked in those photos and felt bad about herself. She started saying things like I have let myself go and I wish I could be more disciplined, etc. I told her that I am still very attracted to her and try to initiate whenever we are alone. She agreed and thanked me to for getting snipped, else we would have a lot more kids running around. However, she told me that I used to stare at her every time she would change in front of me or was in shower. Now I barely notice her even if she is standing butt naked in front of me. She said that it makes her feel insecure about her body when I do that. I know she is right, but after 15 years together, you kind of get used each other's bodies, so I feel it is normal for that to happen. I told her it would be hot and adventurous for her to send me sexy photos now too, but she said there is no way she would feel comfortable taking pics like that now. Overall, I loved our conversation, and I am glad she talked about her insecurities to me.

Finally, we started talking about the photos. She asked me if I pleasure myself looking at them and I told them I have in the past especially when the kids were small. She found that funny and cute. She said that I had the entire internet to find porn and its cute that I still looked at her pictures. She said I should keep the photos. She asked me to just create two folders for her pictures (SFW and NSFW). She said that I can keep the NSFW folder hidden so the kids don't find it. For SFW pics, she wants me to upload them to our iCloud as she wants to show those pics to our daughter. But she said that she is glad I did not delete the photos.

Thanks again for everyone who commented. A lot of comments were really cute, and I got a nice perspective of what my wife was thinking.

AITA for not inviting my picky eater Dil to my dinner event

I will be as clear as possible. I like to try new food and there is a chief I have been following for years. She open a restaurant near me a few years ago and it is almost impossible to get a spot. I was extremely lucky and got one. It is a fixed menu and you eat what you are served for the most part. The menu changes or rotates about every week. They serve unique dishes.

Anyways when I booked it I booked for only five people. I invited my sisters, my two daughters and me. I also decided to pay for it all since I have a good job and wanted to treat them.

This is we're the issue started, I have a DIL who is a picky eater. I didn't include her in the invites because I know she wouldn't eat it. I can't even be certain she would try dishes. She is the type of person that eat like 5 foods.

Everyone runs in the same-ish circle and I got a call asking why she was not invited since she knows everyone that was invited. I tried to be polite by saying it was just a small gathering and move the conversation along.

She kept pushing and I told her it is because she is a picky eater. That I am not paying for someone to not like the food, or not even try it. She thinks I am very cruel for excluding her.

AITA for divorcing my husband for saying that me and my son don't deserve respect?

My husband and I had been together for 7 years. I have a 13yo son with my ex and a 6mo with my husband. Since I gave birth my husband has been weird. He's super hands on, super attentive, loves our daughter more than anything and has overall been super helpful BUT he's.. changed? His patience with my older son is completely gone. He's quick to snap and say that we don't respect him. He OFTEN says "I worked all fucking day" when it comes to damn near everything. He's been incredibly stressed out about finances. Often vents and tells me he feels like he is failing and that he isn't providing enough. So I know there's a deep routed issue and that therapy would probably be a good thing but he always says "I don't have time for therapy, I'm always working", even though he works 5am to 3pm with the rest of the day off and every Thursday and Friday he has days off (I work from home with a flexible schedule but the same overall hours as him).

Anyways, not even 3 months ago I literally told him that if he didn't change, I couldn't stay. He was acting bipolar. Laughing one minute and absolutely pissed off about seemingly nothing the next. He was persistent and pleaded that he would do better, and he absolutely did up until 2 weeks ago. So, we were all hanging out in the kitchen (kids included). I let my son hang out later than bedtime because we were having a good time (playing board games). My husband was okay with this until he wasn't? I guess is the best way to put it. Everything was fine and then he just snapped. I had gotten up to get a drink of water and my husband goes "alright, enough, it's past your bedtime". My son goes "aww, cmon, just a little bit later" and my husband snapped. He starts raising his voice, basically screaming about how "no one respects him'. My son immediately retreated to his room. I'm silent. I start washing the dishes and avoiding eye contact. He goes "great, now you're fucking pissed at me too?" This, admittedly, made me lash out. Maybe because I'm fed up, I don't know. I yelled at him. Told him that maybe if he respected us OR gave us something to respect than this wouldn't be an issue. He then says "what the fuck is there for me to respect?" And then slams out of the house and leaves. It's like 11pm at this point. I text him and tell him not to come home. He doesn't. He slept in his vehicle and went to work the next morning like nothing happened.

I packed up me and the kids while he was at work. I obviously left a lot behind. So I left a note on the table saying "I will be back for the rest of our stuff when I'm able". I then go to the court house and get the divorce papers. I had to get an attorney to actually understand how to fill it out so it took me a little over a week but once I had it all completed, I brought him the paperwork for him to sign. He had been texting and calling the entire time I was gone begging us to come home. Said he was sorry and obviously he respects us but he's just really stressed out and he "didn't understand why you'd let James stay up so late, knowing I had work the next day". Kept saying that me and the kids is the only reason why he hasn't lost himself completely. Says he will get therapy, etc. but I just don't trust him anymore. So when I went there and handed him the divorce papers, he was essentially blindsided because he thought we would be able to work this out. He is refusing to sign the papers as of right now, which I'm not super concerned with. But almost everyone I know is against me on this because he apologized and he "obviously didn't mean it, he was just stressed" and think that I should just work it out with him because he was absolutely perfect up until I gave birth and the stress of finances started weighing on him (he has NEVER been good in high stress environments but it's been 6 months straight and I can't do it anymore). AITA?

ETA: tired of seeing it so: I'm NOT keeping our daughter from him. He's had plenty of opportunities to see his daughter, if he so chose. He has seen her once. He's spending so much time begging me to come back home that he is not making an attempt to see his daughter.

AITA for leaving my girlfriend after she got a dog?

Hello, I'm 25M, and my girlfriend is 23F. We've been together for over a year, and we generally have a great relationship. She's funny and kind. However,

Yesterday, when I got home, there was a Golden Retriever in our house. When I asked my girlfriend whose dog it was, she smiled and said, "Ours." I wasn't sure if she was joking or being serious, so I kept asking whose dog it was. She kept smiling and saying, "Ours," and then proceeded to say the dog's name (I don't really remember what she said her name was since a lot was going through my mind). She even told the dog to say "hi dad"

I told her that she couldn't be serious right now, and she replied, "Why?" with a big smile. I didn't say anything else and just left the house and went to a hotel.

At the beginning of our relationship, I had told her that I don't like dogs and can't be in the same room with one. Even when I see one in public, I put a good distance between me and the person walking the dog. I told her if she ever wanted a pet, she would have to get a cat or something else that is not a dog.

While at the hotel, my girlfriend called me a couple of times, but I didn't answer. Then she texted me, saying that I was overreacting and that my fear of dogs is ridiculous. She said I should at least give it a try and live with a dog for a while, and that she and the dog would help me overcome my fear. But I never asked to overcome it, and honestly, it never bothered me as long as there were no dogs in my house. I never got bothered by one in public because I always put a good distance between me and dogs. I have never even petted a dog before and never will.

I ignored her messages and just went to sleep, as I wanted to decide what to do when my head was clearer. I don't want to be the guy who says it's either me or the dog. She clearly likes dogs, and I don't, so I was thinking of just breaking up with her, even though she has been amazing throughout the year.

AITA for wanting to break up with her over this ?

AITAH for not taking kids to a pride festival because groups of people dress up in BDSM and almost naked?

Before I start, I want to say this. I 100% support equal rights for the LGBTQ people. I voted for marriage equality in my state before it was a national law.

The town I live in has a pride festival every year.

In years past many people would complain that lots of people, men and women would go dressed in very sexually explicit attire. Pictures were posted on our town Facebook group page.

People in BDSM attire. Guys wearing g-strings and dog collars being led on leashes.

Lots of nearly naked people making out. Women with just nipple coverings, nipple clamps, essentially topless.

While 90% of the festival was people dressed and acting appropriate, the 10% going extreme caused a big argument in this town.

We didn't go in years prior because our kids had baseball games, a family graduation party out of town, and so forth.

Good friends of ours, a lesbian couple, asked us to go to the festival with them. They have kids that my kids are friends with from school.

I tried to politely say no. They kept pressing the issue. So I explained, I don't want my kids going to a festival where 100+ people are nearly naked, making out, straight or gay. Even though 90%+ are not behaving that way, I just don't like my kids walking through that crowd. Again, don't like it for straight or gay/lesbian people doing it.

The lesbian friends got defensive and started saying I should be more open minded. They didn't say it outright, but they inferred I was a homophobe.

I am not a homophobe!!!

I mean.....My wife and I get naked and freaky all the time.... BEHIND A LOCKED BEDROOM DOOR. You don't see playing me with her breasts in public!!!!

Why do the LGBT pride parades and festivals have be so sexually explicit?

Am I the asshole???

EDIT: my 3 kids are elementary and middle school aged

EDIT: wife and I teach our kids to never disrespect anyone who are LGBT, especially kids who come out, and if my kids they think they are gay, it's all good. We have their back. We have close family also who a married lesbian couple

AITA for telling my wife to please get the hell out of my way.

I was raised to always be helpful and polite. I like to hold the door open for people, as an example.

I always try to treat my wife with respect. She is a good person but even if she weren't I would.

She has been trying to be like me lately. And it's driving me nuts.

She cannot understand the Time Cop rule that two bits of matter cannot occupy the same space.

She will hold the door for me then stand in the way. When I hold the door for her I stand to the side so she can pass. She cannot seem to get this concept.

I have had to start traveling for work and she drives me to the airport. I could Uber but she says she likes the drive. We always stop for breakfast on the way so it's a way for us to sneak in one more date before I'm gone for a while.

So I will have my backpack on and my rolling luggage in my hand. She will open the door go through and hold the storm door. But she will fully stand in the way.

I have explained the concept of standing to the side. I've asked her to please just go through and I will deal. I've tried leaving before her so I can deal. I've even tried just standing inches away as she holds the door and I cannot move forward. Nothing works.

I was in a hurry yesterday because my flight was changed. We could still stop for breakfast but we didn't have much leeway.

And she would not get out of the way. I lost my coolmand asked her to please get the hell out of the way because I needed to get to the car.

She is mad at me and has brought up my rudeness at both our calls since she dropped me off.

I think that I have been very patient and she should have taken the hint before now.

I just had a "clap-along". I had no idea this is how they tested entry-level.

I just had my first interview (yup! very happy, after like 12 months of searching!). It was over zoom, and it was with my would-be supervisor (director of engineering) and the director of marketing, and one other person, not even sure who they were though.

I knew it wouldn't be a very difficult interview cause it's with a very small non-tech company in my state, and the position would be doing web development for our clients and partners. Anyways, the recruiter just told me that "entry-level CS knowledge would suffice"

So after talking about myself for 5-10 minutes, the director of engineering said "are you ready for the technical part of the interview"

Me: "Sure"

Him: "Don't worry we don't like to have candidates stress. We just want someone that is motivated and willing to learn."

Me: "Awesome, that sounds great."

Him: "Okay, now I want you to "clap" when the right answer is read aloud, okay?"

Me: "Okay" *thinking, okay did I hear that right? That's strange*

Him: "First question. Which tool is used for styling a webpage? A.) HTML, B.) Javascript, C.) Django, or D.) CSS"

Me: *claps when I hear CSS*

Him: "Great! Next question: API stands for A.) "App Programming Initiative", B.) "Angular Programming Interface", C.) "Application Programming Interface"

Me: *claps when I hear the correct option for API"

Him: "Excellent!!! You're one of the best candidates we've had so far!"

Me: *trying not to laugh* "thank you!"

So basically, yeah the interview was just that for like, 10 minutes (the questions were legit mostly that easy, yes, with a couple questions asking what a particular paradigm or basic python function might do).

So yeah, has anyone ever had a clap-along interview before or just me?

Did soldiers get ptsd when they went to war with just melee weapons as well? I feel like it would be more traumatic slicing everyone up than shooting everyone up. Or am I missing something?

Can I sue my wedding photographer?

Edit at the bottom.

Our photographer was the most expensive thing at our wedding but she had beautiful work online. Leading up to the wedding she was friendly. No red flags. The day of, she was miserable, sat down most of the evening, gave guests an attitude, and we ended up with maybe 10 nice photos out of thousands taken.

I realize she is very protected with her contract wording. It state that her artistic preference is her own and that weather isn't her problem (and it did rain). So we can't prove that the photos are "bad". Whether a photo is good is subjective however I have many with my eyes closed, mouth weird, unflattering angles, almost none of us together as a couple or of our children.

I decided to hire another photographer and get couples shots re-done so that we had some nice photos of us. I asked her for reimbursement for that part and she refused. I left her an honest Google review and since then she has retaliated by deleting my entire online gallery. In her contract it states we have 365 days to have access and to download our gallery and we are definitely not at 365 days yet. Is this grounds to go after her for breach of contract?

*I would likely want a refund for the amount paid. She showed up (with a very bad attitude), took photos, delivered some poor quality ones but some useable, but then proceeded to take away the ability to access the photos completely. So what exactly did I pay for if I have no photos from the wedding day? I'm assuming my best option would be sue for a refund but IANAL.
