AITA for putting an intern’s future employment in jeopardy for walking off with my baby? Okay, I have a two-month-old and am currently on paternity leave. I’m fortunate to work at a place that’s family-oriented and where I’m a senior employee. I’m able to get a longer than typical paternity leave by working remotely from home. However, I had to go into the office to get documents that could only be accessed on my work computer. I thought I would give my wife a break and let her sleep in. So I grabbed my kid and headed to the office. Only my boss knew I was coming in, so the office was surprised. And as people do, they gravitated towards the baby. Lots of cooing, holding, passing around, etc. This was all taking place inside my office. Then my baby started crying. I told my assistant that she can rock baby or walk around the office and they’ll go back to sleep. My assistant took her outside my office by her desk and I worked on gathering what I needed from my computer. I stop hearing crying and look up to see my assistant on her phone, no baby in her arms. I rush out and ask where my kid is. She said asked one of the interns, let’s call her Mary, to take her because she got a call from a client. Like most places, my office has summer interns who are college students. I’ve only met them once during the interviews months ago but I went on paternity leave before they started and haven’t worked with them like the rest of the office has. I know nothing about them personally since I’ve been out of the office. I went over to where the intern desks are and ask where Mary was and they said she went to the bathroom. I asked if she had my baby they said she thinks so and I asked one of the female employees if she could go to the bathroom to get her. A minute later, they both come back, baby with Mary and diaper bag on her arm. I took my kid from her arms and told her I didn’t appreciate her walking off with my kid. Mary said my assistant asked her to hold the baby and when she did, it seemed like baby needed a diaper change so she went and did that. I told her I appreciate the sentiment but didn’t like the idea of a stranger walking off with my baby. In private, I told my boss that how I felt and that I would feel uncomfortable extending her a job offer at the end of her internship but the status of her employment now was up to my boss to decide. When I told my wife, she said I went too far. The girl was doing a simple task and that she probably was given an “intern task”. I reiterated that the girl was a stranger and we wouldn’t let a stranger change our kid’s diaper anywhere else why work? Work doesn’t stop people from being psychos. Wife said she understood that but that I didn’t need to jeopardize the intern’s future employment and that I was throwing my weight around since I’m high in command. AITA?

There are definitely ways to pick up your dog's poo poo without using plastic bags so neighbor is an rear end in a top hat, but I also don't understand the thought process behind throwing a party solely dedicated to shaming the person for any plastic he uses.

AITA for kicking out my daughter for getting pregnant on purpose, twice?quote:My daughter came to me at 17 and said she was pregnant. It was a huge shock and I was disappointed (we had safe sex talks, I put her on the pill, etc.) but we made it through. When my granddaughter was born, I helped my daughter and her boyfriend as much as I could. I was always told that her birth control failed and that’s why she got pregnant.

AITA for kicking my brother out of my wedding after he made a speech promoting his new book? This happened last month. I’m over it but my family is still hounding me for being a “dick” to my brother. My husband thinks I did the right thing but I’m sick and tired of getting harassed with “you need to apologize” messages from relatives. Wondering if I should just to get it over with. Anyways, some background: I have 4 siblings. My oldest brother is somewhat of a train wreck. When he was 26 he married a 17 year old girl, knocked her up, then subsequently got married and had 2 more kids. 6 years later he started an affair with a coworker and left his wife and 3 kids hanging. He’s skipped out on child support for over 10 years now. Long story short, the other woman ended up scamming him out of thousands, essentially bankrupting him and forcing him to move back in with my parents. My brother now identifies as an “abuse victim” because of this woman’s scams. He has come to all of us telling us that he’s a victim, a “survivor of abuse” and that we need to empathize with his trauma. His kids, btw, still haven’t seen a cent from him. His ex wife pretends he doesn’t exist and he pretends his kids don’t exist. Well, during my wedding reception my brother took the mic and made a big show of making an impromptu speech for me and my husband. It started off well, with him congratulating us, telling us how love like ours is so rare, then quickly segued into him talking about “abusive relationships” and “narcissistic partners” and how he’s overcome so much himself so he knows true love when he sees it. He then twisted the entire story to make himself sound like the biggest victim in the world. Then, when everyone was teary-eyed and ready to clap, he had the gall to pitch his new book that he’s trying to self-publish about his journey from abuse. Most distant relatives who have no idea what he actually did were overcome with emotion, telling him he’s a hero and all that. I was fed up and pulled him aside afterwards and told him this was the last straw for me, that I didn’t condone him using my wedding as a platform to peddle his BS. I told him he could either apologize to me on the spot or he can leave. He left. Well, afterwards he’s told our entire family that I treated him like poo poo and made him question his worth. My close family thinks he crossed a line but still want me to apologize to him because he’s “fragile and trying to do better.” My distant relatives now think I’m a monster for tossing a “brave soul” like him out on the street right after a rousing speech. They think I got jealous of him and tossed him out because I was being a bridezilla. AITA for what I did? Should I just apologize and get people off my back? Or should I just keep ignoring them? I’m having second thoughts even though I’d been so sure I did the right thing at first. Looking for feedback, thanks! Edit: For everyone asking why I don’t tell people about his kids. Well prepare to pop another blood vessel but he’s made up his own version of that story as well. He tells people that his ex girlfriend (the other woman) manipulated him into abandoning his wife and kids. That he never wanted to leave but she was just so manipulative and so abusive that he was literally incapable of NOT cheating with her. And because she left him for broke, he of course can’t pay child support now or ever. I regret now not letting people know sooner but as a family we had initially decided to keep our dirty laundry under wraps, which meant my brother’s deadbeat tendencies were never broadcast until when he’s had the chance to change the narrative. I could still try to spread the truth, but I’m not sure I’m ready for that kind of poo poo slinging. I do regret my actions because it’s caused me a heap of problems. But during his speech my rage just bubbled up and I just had to say something to him. I kinda wish I didn’t and waited until after the reception to tear him a new one because at the very least I wouldn’t be the villain targeted by family right now.

the thing about american workplace culture that europeasants don't understand is that if a worker takes $20 from the till the cops get called and he gets murdered on the way to Hepatitus Murderhole Lockup. If a boss swipes $20 from a worker's paycheque, not only will the cops not do loving dick all, the stupidly complex legal arbitage system set up in place to contest workplace theft is intentionally understaffed, meaning appeals can take over two years and will generally be rejected wholesale, without even a day in court. Americans lose more money to their bosses than robberies, burglaries, and muggings combined.
