I'm 36M, my wife is 35F.

I have two kids from my first marriage, 9M and 7F. I have been married to my wife for 4 years, we have a 1F daughter. She has a 8M son from her first marriage. The kids all live with us. My kids' mother has visitations one weekend a month, her son's dad isn't involved at all.

I have the names of my oldest two kids tattooed on my arm. I just recently added the name of my youngest daughter. My wife and I were talking about the tattoo, and she asked me if I'll tattoo my stepson's name in the same round as our daughter's.

I told her I have no intention of tattooing his name. Shebwas shocked and asked me why. I said I only have the names of my children tattooed. She said I am excluding her son and he is part of this family too.

I refused to tattoo his name and proceeded to only tattoo my daughter's name. Wife called me all sorts of things.

Aita?

AITA for telling my parents they're not welcome in my apartment anymore because they had sex in my bed?

But the lore around the photo isn’t accurate: The moment wasn’t about the money, it was about revenge. Frances had been awarded primary physical custody of their children as part of what was an “ugly, disputed divorce,” recalls Frank Toti, an attorney who worked for Frances on the case. Harold asked to take half of the Beanie Babies “out of spite,” Toti says. “It had nothing to do with Beanie Babies, it had everything to do with the father being upset about not being awarded custody.” After selecting a few of the Beanie Babies from the pile, Harold gave up and said his ex-wife could have the rest.

quote:

Some backstory: I'm (30f) the oldest of 5. I have 3 full siblings (M27, F25, Juliet 20) and one half sister (Charlotte, 7). 8 years ago my dad had an affair, that woman got pregnant and didn't want anything to do with the baby so she gave her to my parents. My parents didn't want anything to do with her so my sisters and I were always expected to take care of Charlotte and she's always had her own room in my house because I babysat overnight so often.

5 years ago my parents moved into a 2 bedroom condo. My dad had one room and my mom had the other. Juliet and Charlotte were supposed to share the living room. Charlotte climbed onto the balcony and fell once. She got out of the condo and was found wandering around the neighborhood multiple times. Hell, Juliet would take her and they'd take a bus/walk to my place. Needless to say, after a couple months they both moved in with me (Charlotte was okay after falling from the balcony in case anyone was worried). 4 years ago I adopted both girls.

Right before Juliet started college our parents told her they used her college fund to pay for their condo, so instead of going to her dream school, she went to community college and goes to a nearby state school and I pay her tuition. Community college is free in our area and the state school isn't too expensive, plus she has some scholarships to help cover it.

Charlotte is such a happy little girl. She's the kind of kid that'll run up to you and jump into your arms when you visit before running outside to pick you some flowers. I love dressing her up and doing her hair and our talks when I walk her home from school and our ice cream dates. She's the perfect kid.

My parents want nothing to do with Charlotte. They barely like talking to Juliet but at least they'll say happy birthday and get her a Christmas gift. Charlotte hasn't seen them since she was 3 and doesn't know who they are. As far as she knows, I'm her only mommy.

I have been dating Henry for 3 years. He adores Charlotte and is an amazing stepdad. He moved in a few months ago and we're getting married in October. We posted on our social medias about the wedding and my parents texted me asking when they should expect their invitation. I told them they're not invited. Juliet is my MOH and she doesn't want to see them and I don't want them around Charlotte.

They tried telling me that their relationship with Juliet or Charlotte is none of my business and that they were good parents to me so they deserve to be invited to my wedding. I told them it is my business because I adopted them and I said they weren't good parents because they forced me to become a mom at 23 when Charlotte was born.

Now my mom is upset that I'm "blaming her for my dad's mistakes" and I have other family members telling me I should invite them to keep the peace so I wanted to know if I was TA.

Apparently this was just a case of the husband being bitter about the divorce and vindictively demanding the Beanie Babies. In the end, he just took a few of them.

So I (28f) am getting married in August everything is slowly coming together apart from my siblings (16 and 14) attitudes. They are the types of teens that are very into vaping. They’re telling me that they’re going through a vape every 2 days which is concerning in itself. But when it comes to my wedding it’s even worse. They’re asking if they can vape inside the venue which is illegal whether they’re minors or not so they’re solution is to do it in the bathrooms with the shower on. I’ve said no thatl get me and my mum in trouble and they don’t seem to care. It’s the same with drinking I have said I don’t mind as long as they are not caught such as in the rooms or away from the bar. They don’t seem to care and think it’s okay to break the law like this. I haven’t spoken to my mum yet because I feel like I’m sticking my nose in. They also seem very entitled with their stuff such as they’re shoes for the wedding cost DOUBLE of what mine did then my mum complains to me about not having money and struggling to pay for the rooms for the day. I just don’t know what to do at this point. I don’t smoke or vape and don’t like it but my mum does and doesn’t seem to be concerned. Also for extra context their dad passed recently so I get the impulses but he died of cancer which wasn’t helped by him smoking and vaping until he passed away.

EDIT: I’m in the UK where there is a TOTAL smoking ban in indoor public spaces which includes vaping. Also at 16 years old you can drink when your supervised by an adult but you are not allowed to be served alcohol by and establishment. The problem is my siblings trying to find ways to vape indoors rather than go outside like a normal person. If they are caught drinking by the venue it’s my mothers issue if they’re caught smoking indoors it’s my issue and that goes for any guest no matter the age.

Mini update: the youngest wants me to get him aftershave for the wedding which I don’t mind doing but he’s pestering me to buy it next week when I’m on my hen weekend. We haven’t even brought our own and the aftershave he wants is over £100! I didn’t know the price at the time so I told him to wait and he keeps asking.

AITA for not inviting my parents to my wedding because of how they treat my sisters

I (35f) own a small restaurant in an outdoor strip mall(?) And make good money, I'm not rich but I make enough so I can support my mother and my daughter and live comfortably. I've been noticing that the water bill is very high, it's been $3000-4000 per month, when me and my ex husband were together he kept shrugging it off but now that he's gone business has been slow and we haven't been making much money so I finally decided to confront the landlord. When I did he said that's normal for a restaurant and so on. I was skeptical but I was so busy I didn't have time to care.
A few weeks later my daughter asked to buy an iPad for school. I looked at the price and it was too expensive so I said no, she kept asking why and pointed out how much we make in a day. When I told her how expensive the bills are and how much our water bill was she was shocked and didn't believe me at first, when I showed her the letters she immediately told me to call the landlord, and so I did. That night I called and he told me the same thing. I asked the people next to us if they paid the water bills and they said they didn't, I then asked almost everyone in our little strip mall if they paid their water bill and they said no, mind you there are multiple restaurants and a gym with a huge pool in our strip. When I confronted the landlord and threatened to sue he finally stopped making us pay for everybody's water. Now the main issues here is that now a lot of people are pissed off at me because I refused to pay their water bills and they had to pay it themselves. One person said I was a major bitch and that I should've kept paying everyone's water bill. So AITA?

Edit; I am definitely looking into lawyers and taking some of your guy's advice! Thank you all!

I just had a heated discussion with my boyfriend of 2 years for a variety of reasons, but one of them was that I find it pretty gross that I can hear him making GBS threads in front of me? He always shits with the door open, and sometimes he'll do it and then hit on me but I just don't find it sexy at all and then the lack of sex is noticeable.

I wouldn't mind if it was once in a while in certain situations, but I don't wanna hear his poo poo drop in the toilet regularly

I (32 F) married my boyfriend (33 M) yesterday, and things could of gone as well as they did, given what happened.

My SIL (24 F) has always been close with my husband, which is great and all, but sometimes it seems like she's obsessed with him, and a little to close if I'm being honest. She tackles him, sits a little close to him, always grabbing his arm, his waist, things of that nature.

So my SIL chose not to be in the wedding party do to scheduling issues, so she was just going to be a guest.

I walk down the aisle and everything is wonderful. I get to the alter and as the priest is saying some poo poo, I look over towards the side furthest from the aisle.... and I see my SIL. Dressed. In a loving red dress. I was fuming. It took everything for me in that moment to not scream. Of course, SIL wore the color that traditionally meant you hosed the groom. How convenient. While I was angry, I had to finish my vows. I was planning to deal with SIL after the ceremony, but everybody, including her, had rushed out to go to the reception.

Husband and I arrive at the reception and while husband was taking his taking his seat at our table, I told him that I needed to talk to SIL really quick. I found her at her table and told her that we needed to step outside and talk.

We got outside, and this is where I went off on her. I asked her what the hell she was thinking wearing a red dress to my wedding, how dumb she thinks I am to assume that I wouldn't notice, and how dumb she is for thinking that I would be okay with her wearing a "I wanna gently caress my brother" dress. She called me insane for suggesting that I would even insinuate that and told me that no one else seems to have a problem with her dress. I told her that it's not everyone else's wedding. I then told her to leave. Here, she starts begging to stay, but of course I wasn't having it, so she finally gives up and leaves.

Given the drinks, the music, and party, husband didn't really notice that his sister was gone. However, later in the night, he finally noticed and asked around for his sister. Word got out that she talked to me and he confronted me about it. I told husband that I had to kick her out because of her dress. He was not happy. He called me an idiot for doing that and asked me why I couldn't have at least talked to him first. I just assumed that he felt the same way.

Afterwards, we get back to hotel, and fall asleep. This morning, I could tell that he is still pretty pissed at me. Word had gotten out about SIL being kicked out, so I have gotten a few texts from cousins calling me an rear end in a top hat. Honestly? I don't think I'm an rear end in a top hat for telling my SIL, who was

I (25F) don’t like pineapple. It makes my mouth itch (I’m not sure if it’s an allergy since it seems to happen to quite a few other people I know as well) and I don’t like the flavour so I tend to stay away from it. Naturally, this means I’m in the “no pineapples on pizza” camp where even picking it off isn’t an option for me. Of course, this has lead to ridicule from friends and family alike and I like to believe I’m a good sport about it: always gentle ribbing and banter even though I genuinely cannot eat it, though there are a few in my circle that seem to think it’s “all in my head” and I “just haven’t had a good Hawaiian yet”. One such person is Bob(27M), who I met in uni and have been friends with for about 6 years. Somehow, Bob and I have never been in a situation where I have had to decline eating pineapples so he’s never been in a position to force that on me… until tonight.

Bob and his partner Jamie(28M) threw a party to celebrate their anniversary (their get together story involves quite a bit of our friend group) and we were all responsible for at least one thing. I volunteered to pay for the pizzas (3 large) since I was at work all day and couldn’t help with anything else. We all agreed on cheese, since it was the safest bet for everyone and I arrived at their house thinking that the agreement stood. Graciously, Jamie let me use his bathroom so I could clean up after work and when I came out, the delivery person was in the entryway with the 3 pies, a smug looking Bob, 2 of our mutual friends, and a nervous looking Jamie. The delivery person handed me the receipt while telling me the total and I realised that Bob had ordered 3 large Hawaiian pizzas. Then he said:

“Can’t run away from it now. I promise you’ll love it.”

I argued that I genuinely couldn’t eat the pizza and I wouldn’t be paying for them if this is just some attempt to force me to eat it, one of our friends called me dramatic, while the other played mediator with Jamie. Then, Bob said that if I wasn’t going to pay for the pizzas then I could leave… so I left. Jamie texted later to apologize but a few of our friends are saying that I’m the rear end in a top hat for “ditching my responsibilities” and that “it was fine because there were other foods”. People are generally pretty torn on the situation, so Reddit… aita?

UPDATE: hearing though the grapevine that this has caused an argument between Bob and Jamie and now even more of my friends are saying I’m an rear end in a top hat and should apologize…

In 2022 who doesnt just order and pay for pizza online, especially if you know in advance what you are ordering? And what kind of get together gets 3 of the same pizza instead of like... maybe 1 cheese, 1 veggie, 1 pepperoni so there is a selection? Not to mention this person lives in a world where "of course" anyone who doesnt like hawaiian pizza faces frequent ridicule as a matter of course from both friends and family. Honestly seems like a friend group you'd be better off walking away from, they're weird.

Dear Prudence,

I am nine years older than my half-sister, “Amy.” Our mom died when I was 20 and Amy was 11. I was never close to my stepfather and was disgusted when he remarried fewer than 10 months after my mother died. This new wife already had two other kids, and they had a baby right after they got married. I didn’t reconnect with Amy until last year when I got engaged.
Thinking about my future made me want to reconnect with my family. Amy is 16 and currently exiled to the tiny attic because her stepbrother and stepsister need their own rooms. The space was ugly and all her stuff was in plastic bins.

We talked a lot online and collaborated to update her space by watching videos about micro studio apartments. I don’t make a whole lot of money, but I could spare a few grand for a room makeover. We spent months looking and planning. I live in a different state so everything was ordered online. My stepfather knew and agreed to the makeover. Amy got everything and set it up herself. Her space looked gorgeous. She was so proud when she showed it off to me.

Then she called me last month crying. Her stepsister threw a fit because she was jealous over Amy’s new room, so the stepmother gave the room and everything in it to her daughter! Amy was packed into her old room with all her stuff back into the plastic bins. I called my stepfather and ended up in a screaming match with him. He blamed Amy for coming to me and said that this stepdaughter was seriously autistic and she “can’t” understand why Amy got the “princess room” while she didn’t. It wasn’t fair and there wasn’t any money in their budget for the stepdaughter.

I retorted that he basically stole over two-grand for me. Those were gifts for my sister, not the “bitch and her spoiled brat.” My stepfather told me that Amy needed to learn to share because he had four kids now, not just the one. I laughed and said I was glad that my mom was dead because it would have killed her to see how he was treating her daughters. He hung up on me. Amy has been “forbidden” from talking to me, but we talked online. She wants to come live with my fiancé and me. Every conversation circles around how unhappy she is.
