AITA for not inviting my sister's family to my lake house for memorial day?

My wife and I bought a lake house this past winter and the house and our new boat are finally ready for summer. For those not from the US, this upcoming Memorial Day weekend is kind of our unofficial beginning of summer. We're excited to spend the weekend there and also invited 2 of our best friends (married couple) and their 5 year old daughter. We also have a 5 year old daughter who is good friends with their daughter. My sister has been asking since we got the place when she'd get to see it and we told her at some point this summer we'll have them over, and that truly is the plan. We didnt invite them for this weekend because we really wanted it to be a nice relaxing weekend and my sisters stepdaughter is just a lot sometimes. She means well but she has bad ADHD and can be very very loud and shrieky. When we had a birthday party for our daughter 6 months ago, she was all over the place, our daughter and our friends daughter both said she was trying to be bossy and take control of everything while they were just trying to play their own games. My friends are too nice to say anything but we could tell they were annoyed too. Given that my wife and I arent really fans of her and the kids arent either, we just wanted this weekend to be peaceful and figured we'd invite them another time. Well now my sister found out that we are going there this weekend and got really...

AITAH for refusing to subsidize my wife and kids any more?

All three of them are adults with full time jobs. None of them have contributed financially to our household budget. My wife went back to work full time when our youngest was 7.

He is currently 24. Our oldest is 27. They kids have no student debt.

Our retirement property is overseas and that's where I am currently. Two months ago I finally had enough. I came home from an out of town work trip and none of the food I request be in the house is there.

And it isn't caviar and lobster or anything. It's a loaf of sourdough, some deli meat and cheese, and some condiments. Enough so I can make a sandwich before I go grocery shopping.

Apparently that was too difficult for three adults to manage. My wife and I had an argument about it and the kids took her side. I reminded them that they were supposed to be contributing to the budget and then all three of them started whining about life being expensive.

No s__t. I'm working to support all four of us. Whatever.

I made plans to go to our property on my next rotation. So after my time off I went back to work. Then when I flew home I just stayed at the airport overnight and flew out the n the morning.

I also didn't deposit money into the budget account. So they are paying for 'everything' the house, my truck, and my wife's car are all fully paid off. So they are paying for their own utilities, property taxes,...

aita for being disappointed that i wasn’t celebrated for mother’s day?

hi everyone. first, some context: i'm 25yo, my bf james is 24yo, & his daughter victoria is 6yo (fake names). she is not my child, she's from his high school relationship.

her mother is absent & provides no help or support & he works long hours, so im the full time parent & caregiver for her. as i just stated, im the main parent for my bf's daughter. him, his family, & even her have labeled me stepmom even tho we aren't married.

i have no problem with this as i love her as if she were my own & ive always wanted to be a mom. he leaves a lot of the parenting to me bc i have a degree that focused a lot on child psychology + 10 years of childcare experience, including raising my brothers. don't get me wrong, he is an active parent too, i just take lead more & it works well this way.

last week, victoria brought home mother's day gifts that they had done in school. i wasn't sure if she was going to give them to me or want to mail them to her mom, but she ended up giving them to me🥺 i'll attach them below bc they're precious. on field day last week, she referred to me as 'my mom' to her friends instead of 'my stepmom' like she normally does.

my bf knew all of this & even said 'she chose you for mother's day️' when she gave me those things from school. i felt so appreciated & acknowledged. i thought i was...

AITA for not letting my Infant son stay a weekend at MIL’s?

Baby, FIL, BF and I Live in the same house. BF and I were at the grocery store and FIL was watching our son at home. When we got back, FIL told us that SIL (not his daughter) had came and got our son and packed up some of his clothes and stuff and when he asked her about it, she assured him that We were aware and okay with baby going AND staying the whole weekend at MILS with SIL two sons there as well.

He thought he was the only one who didn't know and when we got back home he was confused when we were asking where our son went. Both BF and I immediately start calling/texting MIL and she doesn't answer us, but sends 1 text to Bf saying 'it's okay he will be with me I'm good grandma' and then he texts her saying that we were upset with how they went about this whole thing unbeknownst to anyone beforehand, and that we are ok with him there for a few hours & we're picking our child up around 7pm, that we don't want him overnight with anyone as that's something I'm not comfortable with yet.

And Then she calls screaming saying that we're unreasonable and how we're ruining everything she has planned and then she says that since he's not gonna sleep over that she's just having SIL bring him back and before we could say anything to her, she hung up. 30mins later, SIL comes in the front door, puts my son right on the carpet and then starts...

AITA let daughter stay out overnight?

My (46m) daughter (20f) is adopted, and my wife (36f) and I adopted her when she was 17. She is a great kid who had a very bad life before us. I work for a university and she goes there for free.

We made the deal that if she stays in school and has an on campus job, she can live at home and we will cover most of her expenses, which we can easily afford. I did not realize how self centered my wife was until we adopted. She said she was OK with it at the time, but now says we did the adoption for me, which, sigh, is awful and not true, as she pushed the process much more than I did.

She says I am not hard enough on her, but she is an adult, and still asks for permission to go out and lives by curfews that we set, something I and my wife never did at her age, and we lived at home through college as well. Fast forward. Daughter was in a car accident July 4th weekend, she said she was spending the night at a girlfriends house, but the accident happen near her boyfriends place.

Accident happened during the day, and it was 50/50 at an intersection. Car totaled, going through the insurance process to get our payout to get her a new car. Daughter and I are sharing my truck and it is fine.

Wife tried to get me to agree that since she lied about where she was, she could not take the truck...

AITA for Seeking Refund After Shoddy Delivery Service Disrupts Plans?

Settle the debate. My boyfriend thinks I’m a mini Karen.

We’ve been doing our house up for a year. It was a massive project that we knew we wanted to do and want to continue buying houses and then doing them up and selling them.

We were waiting on a delivery for gravel as we’ve just redone the driveway. We booked and paid for a specific day for the delivery to come. My boyfriend took the day off that specific date as it was several tonnes on gravel to shift.

I had to phone up on the day of the delivery to find out where the delivery was only to be told it wasn’t going to be there that day. The delivery was the following day but only half turned up so I had to phone up again to find out where it was, it was delivered on the 3rd day.

So here we are annoyed that boyfriend has had to take 2 extra days off work and to find out we haven’t enough. So we need to order more. It’s a very specific gravel that you can only get a certain mix of at this one company.

I sent an email to the company with my complaint. Only for them to brush over it. And their customer service was absolutely appalling

I order the next lot begrudgingly. We book and pay for a specific delivery date. The date comes and goes. The delivery is a week late. But we haven’t been told this, the late delivery dates are found out by...

AITA for “stealing” $100 from my fiancé to buy makeup?

Background info: 6 months ago I moved in with my fiancé. I‘ve been unemployed during this time due to serious health issues, but recently got cleared to go back to work. I have some interviews lined up after New Years. As a result my fiancé has been our only source of income. Money has been tight especially because he has significant debt to pay off (I have none). He is in charge of all the money, I have not had more than $5 to my name since I moved in, and I have not made any “fun” purchases. My fiancé has bought himself a few things such as video games he wanted, but I never asked for anything because I wasn’t able to work or contribute to our expenses.

We visited my family this year for the holidays and I received about $1500 for my birthday and Christmas. I was excited because I could finally help out! I gave my fiancé $1400 and kept $100 for myself as “fun money.”

When my fiancé realized I didn’t give him the full amount, he was pi**ed. He told me I “stole” the $100 and we needed it for rent. $1400 covers about 2 months of rent + expenses, and by the time February rolls around, I’ll definitely be employed. I thought that was fair.

I told him that I haven’t been able to treat myself to anything nice and wanted to buy some new makeup. He said no and demanded I give him the $100. We got into a huge fight over it and I ended up...

WIBTA if I refused to let my son wear the shirt his dad sent him?

My fiancé (M, 27) and I (F, 27) are planning a small wedding. We only invited immediate family and close friends so we can afford to pay for the wedding ourselves. We also said that guests can only bring a plus-one if they’ve been dating for at least a year because we can’t afford to pay for someone they barely know.
Here’s the issue. My sister is 25 and started dating Jon in November. He’s a 43 year old pilot and has two teenagers. Three weeks ago, they announced they were engaged. I’ve tried talking to her a few times about how he’s too old for her and how she’s way too young to be a stepmom to two teens, but she told me to mind my own business and that she loves him.
For our wedding, I only invited my sister. She called and asked why Jon and his kids weren’t invited. I told her it’s because I barely know them and they haven’t even been dating for a year. She said Jon is family now and that his kids will be my niece and nephews, so it’s different. I told her I can’t afford to pay for three extra guests who are basically strangers to us. Now she’s mad and says she won’t come either.
My parents get where I’m coming from, but they also want my sister at the wedding. My dad even offered to cover the cost of Jon and the kids. But the thing is, I just don’t want them there. I feel uncomfortable inviting people I don’t know to my wedding.

AITA for not telling my friends I am technically our landlord?

So I (18f) am very lucky in that I have two very hardworking parents that are successful and love me. We aren't mega-wealthy but we are very comfortable as my parents are extremely smart financially. We own multiple houses as part of our real estate portfolio that we rent out for extra income. I recently started college and as a present for working hard and getting into my dream school my parents gifted me one of our houses that is near my college. I was going to inherit them all anyway but I really appreciated their gesture. Where I live real estate law is a little tricky and we would have to pay significant taxes to officially transfer the house to me so we decided to have my parents own it legally for now.

The house is pretty big with 4 floors(including a fully furnished basement) and a roomy attic and since it is near my school I decided to look for roommates so I could start earning money early. So far I have two roommates, who we'll call Sasha(18f) and Bea(19f) who also go to my school. We have been living together for a couple months now(they moved in around August) and we are all pretty good friends, and very compatible roommates. This is where I might be the a__hole. I didn't want to tell them that I own the house as I thought it might create a weird dynamic between us, and I didn't want them to view me any differently. We split the bills and rent, with me technically paying nothing. Since my father...

AITA for refusing to give back my boyfriends money?

I 25 F and my boyfriend 25 M have been having this argument for a couple days now and I just want to know if I am in the wrong.

My boyfriend is a gambling addict, and it has caused a lot of tension as of recently; especially since he has stolen from me a few times.

The most recent time was Thursday, where he stole $50 from me to gamble, and won $1200, which he then sent to me so he wouldn't blow through it.

The problem, Besides the obvious, is that he owes me $1300 from the last time he stole from me. In his mind the money he sent me is his because he earned it, but to me, the money was first of all won using my stolen money, and second of all, he owes me money, so it is mine to keep.

This has been something we've been arguing back a forth about for a few days now, and came to a head yesterday when he wanted to go to the bank to renew his card because it got cancelled (due to him gambling) I didn't want to go, because we were going out with friends to celebrate my birthday and didn't want to deal with him asking me for money, or with him possibly being in a bad mood from lossing.

This has then devolved into him wanting to give me $50 cash (which I gave him) in exchange for me sending him a $50 e-transfer, which I am saying no to. He thinks since I didn't...
