AITA for pointing out that my daughter got into that university with her dad's money?quote:I have 2 children M22 and F19. My children have different dads. I got divorced from my daughter's dad when she was 9. Her dad did everything he could to alienate her and he managed to do that when she was 14. She went nc with me and despite my efforts I didn't hear from her( we lived in 2 different cities which made it harder)

I did miss my wife's birthday this year, in fairness it fell on the Friday of my 4-a-week gym workout schedule (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday) so I thought she was churlish to complain.

Was thinking about families where everyone is at each other's throats and thought back to the Reddit post where a parent lost a sibling without warning. They told their own preteen kids that they should always end by letting each other know they love the other even when fighting, and ideally their last words when parting should be "I love you". Rather than rebel or find the idea gross like preteens are wont to do the kids took it to heart and did just that not being embarrassed to hug even in awkward young teenage years and being close into adulthood. You can frame it as a story of children traumatized by their parent dealing with loss but I found it heartwarming and wish I could find the post now.

my dad kept complaining that my 80 year old bed ridden grandma kept saying "i love you" and i just said "one day it'll be the last thing she ever said to you" and he got real quiet before reverting right back to a stupid jackhole minutes later. and, eventually, it was.

AITA for making people at the table "uncomfortable"?quote:So I'm (20M) is a single dude living with my parents still. I have a job and everything, and I plan to move out soon. My brother (25M) has obviously already moved out and has his own place. He has had several girlfriends for the past 6 years since he moved on. Plenty of times I thought if he found "the one" but didn't.

AITA for getting frustrated with my wife's "bathroom boundaries"?quote:I love my wife. So much. But she can have ridiculous boundary issues, especially concerning the bathroom. She hates anyone being in the bathroom with her. Sounds reasonable, right? Except she'll rage angrily if anyone gets near her in the bathroom. Just now, our 3 year old son, hyper as normal, starts to open the bathroom door when she is in there. This happens just as I am walking upstairs from my basement office to get some food. I hear her shriek "Don't open it!!!" at him, in a voice that's both panicky and angry, and he is startled and starts crying "Sorry!! Sorry!!!" and he is obviously upset that his mother just freaked out on him. I'm annoyed because if she really wants privacy, then lock the drat door. But she rarely does. Sometime she leaves it open a crack, and without the light even on so I wouldn't even know someone is in there, and when I start to walk by (not even knowing she's in there) she'll shriek out to not come in the bathroom. Like OK I wasn't going to, but close the drat door if your privacy is that important. That's actually happened so many times, where she is in there, the door is open a crack, and the light is OFF, so I think it's unoccupied, and she freaks out on me when I start to go in.

Formatting OP's AITA for letting my roommate's food burn in the oven quote:One of my(23m) biggest pet peeves is people invading in on what I am doing. For example, if I am in the kitchen doing something and step out for a few moments. I hate if I came back and someone has "cleaned up" after me. Unless obviously something was in the way or they needed to use something. But I hate when people don't just mind their business and leave stuff how it was. I hated when I lived at home and my mom would tidy up my room when I wasn't around. Nothing crazy but say I left a shirt hanging on my bed frame. I know exactly where that shirt is. Now I am coming back looking for it and it's in a new spot. I ask my mom, she doesn't remember where she put it etc etc. I just am a big believer in minding my own business. I strongly dislike if I am making something in the oven and have a timer set and it goes off and someone takes it out right away and turns the oven off. Usually I want to leave it in a bit longer or maybe that was just the first step and it needed to be checked on. Even if that was the time for it to be taken out. I would much rather people just mind their own things.

AITA for not covering up more to float in my pool?quote:I have an above-ground pool in my backyard. It's almost as tall as the fence, so you can see into it from my neighbours' deck and lots of their windows. In short, it's not very private. AITA for allegedly causing my coworker to lose out on $4,000? quote:My coworker and I have been chosen to attend a work-sponsored international conference at the end of the year. As the conference has 1100+ attendees, the workshops and discounted hotel rooms fill up/sell out pretty quickly. I’ve been monitoring the conference website daily and even shared the site with my coworker. On the day the registration opened/discounted hotel rooms became available, I texted my coworker early in the morning to give a heads up. AITA for telling my cousin it’s not a privilege to babysit her kids? quote:I (28M) have a cousin Sylvia (24F). Sylvia has twin girls who are 4 years old now. When she got pregnant, her boyfriend broke up with her and moved to another county. She was really heartbroken and had post natal depression so the entire family took turns taking care of her babies for the first year or so. Now it’s just my sister and I who help because everyone else has either moved to another city or have kids of their own to look after.

AITA for refusing to cook more for the unexpected friend my boyfriend brought home after he was already late and then going to bed?quote:My (22F) boyfriend (24M) was supposed to come at mine around 8 pm so we could have dinner together. AITA for asking people to bring food to a BBQ? quote:I am American, my husband is ******Australian****** if that plays into it at all. My husband and I are at odds over this. We’ve invited about 6 families over for a BBQ this weekend. I asked for his friends contact info (he invited 2 families, I invited 4) to start a group text saying something along the lines of: “planning on starting around x time, if you want to bring a side/app/dessert that would be great, we’ll have plenty of mains.” I am planning on smoking a brisket (or ribs depending on timing)/ chicken wings/brats and hotdogs for kids - spending about $200 including some beer and non-alcoholic drinks for 25/30 people. He thinks it is “trashy and low class” to invite people over to our house and then ask them to bring something. My take was it’s a BBQ and my friends ask what they can bring anyway. But I’m feeling bad now and am wondering if it is really viewed as tacky to try and coordinate for other people to bring sides - is this a cultural thing? To clarify: when we’ve hosted party-parties before (birthdays/holidays) I generally take care of all the food but I’ve always viewed a BBQ as more of a potluck situation. Should I be a better host and take care of sides as well? See if you can guess the husband's nationality.

I didn't know which way this one was gonna go based on the title, and I certainly didn't expect it to go beyond locking the door into setting up secret "empty" bathroom traps. I can't even begin to imagine what's going on with that.

I have first-hand been to and hosted BBQs that were "fully stocked", "bring sides", and "we've got the grill, bring what you want on it". As long as you communicate cleanly it's all kosher.

No idea why she was in the en suite bathroom in the same manner the one time, though.
