Another standard Cinderella story, right?

AITA for refusing to go on vacation until my dad and stepmom make things fair?

quote:

I (15f) have 3 sisters Allie (18), Michelle (17), and Lucy (13).

My stepmom favors Lucy and my dad goes along with it. The vacation we’re about to go on explains the situation pretty well.

My stepmom’s friend owns a cabin and we go there every few months. We always take 2 cars when we go because we put the third row down to make rooms for our bags then there isn’t enough room for everyone. It’s always me, Allie, Michelle, and my dad in one car and Lucy and my stepmom in the other. It sucks driving with my dad. He hates stopping and we always have to listen to old music. Lucy and my stepmom always stop for Starbucks and sometimes even go shopping. If we ask to go in their car they say no.

Then there’s the room assignment. The cabin has 3 bedrooms. There’s the master, a room with a queen bed, and a room with 2 bunk beds. Lucy always gets the room with the queen bed to herself and Allie, Michelle, and I all have to share a room. We suggested rotating the rooms but they always said no.

We’re sick of the special treatment so we told my dad we won’t go if they won’t make things fair. He didn’t even try to compromise. He called his mom and asked her for babysit for the week.

My sisters are thinking of giving in and going and my dad said we’re being brats so I wanted to know if we were being assholes because at this point it’s either give in or lose the vacation.

Edit: my stepmom and Lucy are going to the cabin while Allie, Michelle, and I stay home with our dad.

But wait there's more!

quote:

We’re all bio sisters

Well, favoritism among related siblings is bad too. Let's see if the OP has more to say.

quote:

They make me and Michelle see the school therapist once a week.

quote:

She’s already in therapy 3 days a week. She’ll be in therapy at least until her 30’s

quote:

We all went [to therapy] for a couple years then we stopped because everyone besides Lucy was okay

So something else seems to be going on...

quote:

They say it’s because we bully her. We don’t even bully her, she’s just sensitive and can’t handle a little teasing. We do it to each other all the time.

There it is! Good stepmom.

AITA for not wanting to lie on my taxes?

quote:

My husband and I file our taxes jointly despite keeping our finances separate because he has 3 kids, unsteady work, and is generally (and admittedly) bad with money. I do this as a favor to him; I am salaried and have a taxed income (with benefits that cover us both) and I overpay throughout the year to ensure I get a tax return. He is self employed and generally owes quite a lot. I forfeit my tax return so that he can get child credits and the massive amount I pay over the course of the year covers some of what he would owe as an independent contractor. In short, I take a sizable financial hit to help him out.

I opened Turbo Tax this evening to input my W2 and noticed that for each of his kids, he indicated on our filing last year they live with us 7 months out of the year. His kids live 9 hours away and have never been to our house. I confronted him about this, asking him if he lied on our taxes and signed off for both of us without my consent. He played dumb at first until I explained how I knew, then copped to it. We are now in a huge fight, as he has no concept of why I would be upset with him for committing tax fraud in my name and is yelling at me for being selfish and uncaring. His reasoning is that I have no right to be angry with him for something he did "to survive" because he "would die" if he had to pay the full amount he would owe without lying (he made 100k last year and I made 60).

I have told him repeatedly that I think the system is just as broken as he does and that I am well aware taxes are evil, etc., but that he had no right to put my name on something falsified without my knowing or my consent. He is not budging, and is not even willing to apologize. He has somehow managed to turn this into not only something he is not in the wrong for, but a problem I caused for bringing it up and for using as something to "use against him to see the worst in him." I am aghast. Is there something I am missing here? AITA?

seperate finances but joint liability; sounds like a great way to do things

AITA for not returning my 'inherited' apartment

quote:

My brother 37M got married about 11 years ago. Unfortunately 6 years ago there was a tragedy and my SIL passed in an accident and left my 20 month old nephew.

At that time I 29F was working in SF. I asked the company I worked for if I could transfer to their NYC location and was able to do so. I moved in with my brother. He stopped working to spend time with his kid. I did my best to help - I paid the rent and groceries. I tried to keep the meals going when I came from work. I didn't mind, as i really loved coming home to my nephew and the rent was really cheap. The fact was that my SIL had 'inherited' a rent stabilized apartment from her parents after they retired and moved to a cheaper area about 1.5hrs from NYC. The rent was only $1450ish for a 2 bed that was over 1000sqft in Manhattan's Upper Eastside.

Anyhow, when my nephew was going to start school my parent's convinced my brother to move back to Toronto and live with them. I took over the lease to his apartment as I was legally allowed to since I had lived there for a few years. Its been over three years and he started working, my nephew started school, he met a new partner and he seemed like he was building a life again.

Last week my brother told me that he, his GF and my nephew will be returning to NYC so he has requested to have his apartment back. I told him , 'No' because my fiancé and I were also planning to move in together and we had already made some really nice updates with a view to this being a long-term home for us. He would also have to live with me for 2 years before I could transfer the lease so I would have to delay my wedding.

He told me that I was an AH for stealing his apartment and not letting him rebuild his life and allowing his child to move back into his mom's and grandparent's apartment that my nephew should technically inherit it. He says he signed the lease over to me so that he didn't lose the apartment. His previous wife's parents say I am taking advantage of an unfortunate situation. Now I am thinking I should reconsider as perhaps I am being an AH, since my fiancé and I could afford to pay a lot more rent, without it being as difficult as it would be for my brother.



AITA for changing the locks on my house after my fiance made a key without my permission.

quote:

I (25F) own a beautiful 4-bedroom house. I bought it when I was 23 after letting my business partner take our shared assets in exchange for 600k. we owned a few properties together since we had bought our first place at 20 and 21 back when we were dating and even though we didn't work out we stayed in business together. I closed on my house a few months after my 23rd birthday. I had only been working part-time while I was managing our properties so aside from my bed and some little things from my apartment I stayed in my house for months while it was basically empty. I had always wanted to be a pastry chef and a local community college has a program that lets you get your certificate in almost anything for free with just 16 weeks of classes and if you choose to continue afterward your credits will roll over.

That's where I met my fiance James (M27). James was a chef at a high-end restaurant. He had been working since 16 he started as a busser and worked his way up. While he had a lot of experience, he wanted to have a degree to back it up. We hit it off pretty quickly, he even taught me how to drive, helped me develop recipes, and helped me pick out the perfect spot to put my bakery. He proposed to me in Jamaica on August 8th, 2022. When we got back home I moved in with him. I've been perfecting recipes in my house as I had taken the time to make the kitchen to my liking. I tend to put my phone on DnD just to make sure I have no distractions. There have been a few times when I have missed calls from James and I see that it really bothers him but it's not like I go at random times I have a set schedule and I rarely go off of it.

About a week ago I finished baking quite early and ended up taking a nap my phone was still on DnD and I woke up to James banging on the door. He told me he had been calling me for hours. I told him I had forgotten to take my phone off DnD. He suggested that if he should have a key he could use for emergencies or in case something like this happened again. I said no because this is my safe space and I'm still adjusting to living with someone. The other day when I finished baking I noticed it was raining and I decided to call James because I don't feel comfortable driving in the rain. He didn't call me when he got here he knocked on the door and when I opened it he complained about getting wet while waiting for me and said he wouldn't have to wait if he had a key.

I pointed out that he could've called me and I would've just come to the car. he said that wasn't the point and me not giving him a key was a slap in face. Yesterday I noticed he had one of those "minute keys" in his glove compartment while looking for my lipgloss I left in his car I immediately knew what he did and called my brother to help me change the locks, last night at dinner I let him know I found the key and told him it wouldn't be on any use as I had changed the locks. We argued and we haven't spoken since last night AITA?

Added spacing.


Reddit has a good point:

quote:

So she just calls him like an Uber and he has to wait in the car until she comes out so that he can do her a favour by driving her in the rain?

She moves into his house but doesn't want him to have access to her house?

This is a very strange relationship.

AITA for telling my mom the wrong name and embarrassing her?

quote:

My husband and I had a baby last week. We announced to our close family and friends that we were pregnant at 11 weeks along. We said that we would be waiting to share until I was further along. My mother ignored us and posted our pregnancy news on her social media immediately. We got congratulations messages from dozens of people. When we learned that she shared it, we told her to delete it as it was not her news to share. She argued, saying things like, "I'm the grandma, it's absolutely my news to share", "you cannot tell me what I can and cannot post online", and so on. She finally took down her post after we begged and begged her.

Skip to 20 weeks along. We got asked what his name was going to be. When we said we weren't going to share, no one complained, except my mom. She constantly asked and would try to trip us up. After three weeks of her asking 3-4 times a day what "her" baby's name is, I decided to tell her that baby's name is "Pnurtis". That's not true, but I wanted her to stop asking what his name was going to be. I then told her that she must keep it fully confidential and that NO ONE else can know his name until he was born. I figured that she would leave it be and not tell anyone. That was a mistake. My mom, aunts, and cousins threw us a baby shower. Everything seemed normal, except for a few people whispering and pointing at the gifts.

I didn't think anything of it until I began opening the gifts. The first gifts were gifts from our registry. Then, I got a gift from my cousin, of a set of monogrammed blankets and pillows. I was confused as we hadn't said what the baby's name/initials were. I then opened my aunt's gift, which was a decorative frame with the name "Pnurtis". I got upset and my mom grinned. My mom then stood up, shushed the room and said, "I know OP wasn't going to share it until after, but the baby's name is Pnurtis!" It was awkward. Everyone looked confused. Those who my mom had already told stood around looking smug. I got up and whispered to her that we were not going to name the baby Pnurtis. I had told her that so she would stop pressuring me to share the name. My mom's face got red and she mumbled something and left, along with many of my aunts and cousins on her side.

The party was pretty much ruined after this so I returned the personalized gifts and went home. I received calls from my mom's side saying that it was awful to embarrass my mom. My husband said she wouldn't have been embarrassed if she had kept the name private. Our baby came a few days after his due date. All of this drama has caused a lot of stress with my mom and family on her side. My husband, dad, and in-laws are incredibly supportive and have been gushing over our baby. My mom and her side have been saying rude things about us to the rest of the family. AITA for telling my mom the wrong name and embarrassing her in front of her family? Was it wrong to hide the real name?

Wish my bf cared 12/19/22

quote:

I worked all day, came home and called my bf. All I wanted was to have a conversation and to talk about random poo poo but him being in a party on Xbox was more important.

Why am I never important?

Why does it take him so long in the bathroom 12/21/22

quote:

I know he’s watching 🌽 or looking at pictures of other women. And I know it’s my fault. I haven’t been putting out and when I do he can’t do anything because he’s about to do something.

Today he came over and wanted to do it but I didn’t want to. I love him but I wish he didn’t seek others…

Annoyed with my parents 12/22/22

quote:

My bf isn’t allowed in the house at all, they don’t like him. I told my mom he was walking me home and she blew up saying she doesn’t want him in the house and blah blah blah.

I told her we were going to sit on the porch instead then.

Well she must have told my dad to turn the security cameras on because they kept turning on at the slightest movement. I’m so upset because I haven’t seen him in a month and would like to have a conversation without my parents spying on me.

Oh I’m also in my 20’s. I’m about to be moving out soon if everything goes well.

I’m just tired.

Shows my bf is friends with his ex on Xbox on her profile but it’s not showing he’s her friend on his side 12/23/22

quote:

Idk if I should be concerned. They recently talked and made up which I’m lowkey pissed about considering that was his little sl*t between the month we were broken up. They didn’t have much of a connection to even make up to begin with.

Can someone tell me if Xbox is just glitching, my bf is being a two timing bitch or something else?

Caught bf cheating on me with his ex 12/25/22

quote:

I hope that bitch dies and I hope he fuckin rots. She knew he was in a relationship. She deserves to be abused and hurt too just like he does.

Bf gets mad when I tell him things that upset me that he does. So I’m shutting off my emotions to teach him a lesson 12/27/22

quote:

Treating him the way he treated me didn’t work so now he is just going to have to deal with an emotionless bitch until he 1) breaks up with me 2) takes the hint 3) begs for the old me back.

Bf works with me and he’s telling coworkers my business 1/5/23

quote:

Before he started working there I had a coworker who was sexually harassing me. He would make comments about locking the break room door so we can have privacy and how I should break up with my bf. This man is not mentally there so I let it slide until he would try to rub my back and hold my hands after saying no. It got to the point I felt like I had to use my voice recording app in my phone to somehow protect myself.

Obviously I tell my bf about the stress going on at work and he was pissed. I didn’t know he would be getting this job or even ever applying to it let alone get hired by the company.

Well a few weeks later my bf gets hired and his first day there he’s already telling my coworkers what this guy did.

I eventually snapped on him today and called him a fuckin dumbass in front of almost every coworker while the bosses were away and told him thanks for telling everyone in the plant. I was so close to getting psychical but didn’t. I’m pissed.

I don’t care if the dude gets excluded from conversations at the company, what hurts is the fact my trauma is just gossip to him. I’m pissed off and aggravated to the point I want to quit now.

I’m done with him 1/6/23

quote:

I honestly don’t care anymore. I’m sick of being told to shut up when I’m concerned about things.

No I’m not going to break up with him. I’m done with life. I’m 23. I live with my parents. I barely make $200 a month. I will never be able to move out anytime soon.

My bf was supposed to help but his mommy wants privacy and is making him move back to the old place meaning the job he just got he will have to quit at or risk being an hour late every fuckin day because he’ll have to take a bus. Our bosses won’t put up with him being constantly late. He will get fired and he will be stuck being a loving bum for another fuckin year.

I told him three days before Christmas if he didn’t have a job by the end of the year that I’m done and breaking up with him.

I voiced my concern and he’s calling me a bitch and how I’m always trying to start poo poo. So I actually did start poo poo by reminding him that if he gets fired or quits that it’s the end of the relationship.

I’m at the end here and I don’t want to deal with it anymore. I’m emotionally checked out of literally everything.

We broke up 1/6/23 (15 minutes after above post)
(no text)

I figured out how to shut my emotions off and my bf hates it lol 1/6/23 (2 hours after above post)

quote:

I told him if this poo poo kept happening I’d turn them off and now that they’re off he wants to tell me he wants me back to normal and is begging for me to love him.

Good for you dude

[23F][23M] I hate our sex life - 1/6/23 (15 hours after above post)

quote:

He claims I don’t need to change myself however he always wants me to be on full display when we do poo poo and he doesn’t do crap.

I HATE my body and I hate being exposed but it doesn’t matter to him. My insecurities don’t matter to him. If I don’t want to do something he’ll loving bitch until I do it or he’ll give up but do the most basic poo poo and act all sad which then ruins the mood. I’ve straight up pushed him to get him out of me once because he wanted to be all upset because I didn’t want to ride him ONE TIME and he wanted to mope about it.

He’s always under me or behind me. My body is the only one on display. He’s taken a video of me during our “fun” and I look fuckin ugly. I don’t know how else to say it. I was ugly. He straight up lies saying I’m not but I fuckin am.

If my body is going to be on display for him then I should feel comfortable. Idk how to fuckin explain it to him that his wants aren’t possible.

[23F][23M] I hate compliments that are so over used and now my bf is mad at me - 1/15/23

quote:

I don’t think sexy is a compliment. I see it used as a word to describe someone you just see as eye candy or a word you use to get into someone’s pants quicker.

I don’t like it.

I like real compliments like beautiful or gorgeous. Honestly anything besides sexy.

But I also hate the fact he over uses the word beautiful. He doesn’t compliment me with any other word, I get it might be stupid but I put so much thought into what I say to him and he just wants to stick with beautiful. He doesn’t even tell me why I’m beautiful. There’s no “your eyes look good” or “you look stunning today” or even a simple “I like what you did with your hair” it’s just “hi, beautiful.”

I got new glasses and he hasn’t even said anything about them. It’s been 5 days since I’ve gotten them and he hasn’t said anything.

I want to be noticed and when I try to bring it up to him he just wants to go on a rant about how he’ll stop complimenting me if I hate it so much and that he’s done saying nice things to me and how his opinion doesn’t matter.

I changed my mind. They deserve each other just to keep them out of the dating pool.

Also the fun part comes when all the money is changed.

I dunno about Canada, but in Aus. all coins have the head of the Queen on the back. Also the Queen is always on the lowest denomination of note. So all that has to change because of Charlie No.2. We will have to get his noggin on our money. Which is a long, expensive process, that will inevitably be hindered by old conservatives whinging about how he is depicted, and how disrespectful is is etc. etc.

In Canada, all the coins and the $20 bill have the Queen's head on. I'm thinking there's a 75% chance they'll change it to Charles and a 25% chance they keep it as is forever.

AITA for forgetting to lock the door a few times a month?

quote:

Hi Reddit,

Boy I was hoping never to have an issue to put here, but I really need some perspective on this one.

I come from a family that only sometimes locked our doors, so it was never really ingrained in me to keep the door locked at all times. My wife on the other hand came from a family where the norm was to lock everything, get a camera, be suspicious of everyone coming to the door- just hyper concerned about safety in all ways. As a result, in the beginning of our relationship, I rarely locked our doors and she always did. It gave her a lot of anxiety, especially since we were living in a rough neighborhood at the time.

Since then, I have done my best to keep up with locking the doors. We have since moved to a great apartment in a very safe neighborhood. And though I’m a forgetful person, I have been remembering I lock our door about 8-9 times out of ten. Still working on it though.

Unfortunately, my wife’s anxiety about our safety has just been getting worse. She says she has night terrors and can’t handle worrying if the door is locked. It’s awful that she feels this way and I want to help her out. I’m just struggling to see and understand why this situation is provoking such a huge emotional response.

Extra info: My wife and I live in a newly developed, gated community on the third floor of our apartment building in the very back. Zero crime since we have been living here. I take out the dogs every night so I am the one locking the door. We have a new puppy that needs to go out every 4 hours, and it’s the 4AM walks where I am most likely to forget to lock the door (8/10) vs regularly (9+/10).

My wife is very upset at me and has told me she is going to buy an expensive camera and another device and leave notes everywhere for me to lock the door. AITH for causing this situation?

yeah OP, i don't understand why a woman would get all bent out of shape about strangers being able to walk right into the house, it's a real fuckin mystery

It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

I only put you at risk 10-20% of the time, what's the big deal? I'm perfectly happy betting your safety and sanity on those odds.

Just change the lock mechanism to an auto-locker
