The Poop Knife AITA for refusing to cook for my wife anymore
after she ate 3 of my meal prepped meals? In my household my wife doesn't cook. She
sucks at it and it's just easier on our taste buds if I cook for us. Earlier this year we
both decided that it was time for us to get back in shape, I decided to research some
macro/calorie friendly cooking recipes and got big in to meal prepping. My wife stuck
with it for a few weeks but ultimately decided to quit Luckily, this wasn't too much of an issue
for me. She's a nurse and frequently works much later than I do as my typical work day
is from 6am to 2pm. So I would make my meal prepped meals for the week on on my off day
and then I would make dinner like I did prior. When I meal prep, I make 6 days worth of 3
meals. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and just swap around lunch and dinner. Last week Thursday morning for work and planned
on coming back Friday morning and stopping through home, grabbing anything I needed then
heading into the office. This was known for weeks in advance, so I didn't spring this
on my wife. I figured that she would be able to make sure, she and our kid got dinner that
night and breakfast that next morning. The next morning, I'm running late and drive through
home looking for my last breakfast and lunch for the week and they're gone. I don't have
time to ask my wife, nor do I wanna wake her up early before her shift so I just go. I
end up skipping breakfast and lunch. I get off of work and I'm starving and decide I'm
just gonna eat dinner early and when I look for my dinner for that night, it's not there. This is what set me off, when my wife gets
home I ask her what's up and and she admits to eating the meals. I tell her that I had
portioned out food for an entire day and and she ate all of it in a single night. She said
it was my fault as I didn't make anything for her and our kid to eat and I just left
the meal prepped things, so they had to eat those. We got into an argument and she told
me I was being selfish. So now I decided that if I'm selfish for expecting her to feed herself
for one night, I would just not cook anymore as I'm doing a lot of work for a selfish person.
For the past week, I made my meal prep meals and store them at work and let her figure
out what she wants do for dinner by herself. Of course I still cook for our kid, but only
one portion small enough for him to eat by himself. I told her I would keep this up and that she
should learn to cook for herself if she's not happy about it. She told me that she's
too tired when she comes home from work to cook and that I'm being incredibly petty.
I think I'm justified and I'm pushing her to learn a life skill she should have by now. AITA? Posted by

The Poop Knife AITA for not backing down over homeschooling my son?
My son “Colin” recently turned 20. He's my youngest kid, I have two older kids from
an ex-wife (they're 32 and 35, respectively). He's been doing some catching up with them
and I guess they've been telling him stuff about what they did during their childhood/teen
years. I took him out for beers the other day and
out of the blue he starts complaining that I'm some type of dickhead for homeschooling
him. That compared to his older siblings his childhood was crap and that thanks to me he
has no friends and no social circle. It is true that I sent his older siblings to a private
catholic school (I'm not religious but I do think there are higher standards of education
there), but that's because I could afford it then. Times had changed by the time I had
Colin. I don't get what he's complaining about. He
always seemed so happy as a kid. It's not like he was stuck inside all day either, we
played sports and stuff like that. He had way more free time than regular kids, and
he got a way better education, too (my wife is a certified teacher). I understand maybe
he should've been around more other kids but all he had to do was ask and I would've arranged
it in a heartbeat. But he always seemed happy, like I said. I told him he needs to stop comparing himself
to other people and just be grateful for the wonderful life he's had the opportunity to
live. He got all sarcastic and moody, said his life was/is horrible and there's nothing
to look forward to. He wanted me to “admit” the homeschooling
was a bad idea. But in my heart of hearts I know it was the right thing to do so I couldn't
agree with him. He got really drunk and weirdly silent, and has been in a funk for the past
few days, very unlike his normal self. I get that he's upset with me, but I don't
think I should lie and say I agree with him about the homeschooling when I actually don't.

So my Grandma passed away when I was 11, before doing so she bought me an expensive 24 karat
gold ring. I don’t wear it as it no longer fits, but I kept it because sentimental value.
My mom (F50) just came up to me holding the ring and said “I’m going to trade this
in” and I said “what?”, she said she wants her own ring and will trade mine in
towards the cost. I said “wait so you are telling me that you are trading in MY ring
from my grandma, to get yourself something? She said yes because when she dies, she will
leave all of her rings to me as my inheritance?! I said it is not okay by me. She said she
will do it anyway, she does not see my point at all as the gold will come back to me anyway.
She never asked if she could, just told me she is as she does not see any issue. This
is not okay with me at all and I told her so. AITA for telling her this is completely out
of order? Posted by
u/funkydesert369 13 hours ago AITA for not letting my kid stay somewhere
i am not allowed to darken the door Okay so i’m a 30 year old female with a
9 year old son. I have had an extremely close relationship with my dad my entire life, he
has always been my best friend. I have my own home and job and life, but we talk multiple
times a day and he’s very involved with my son, that’s just how it’s always been.
So he started dating someone a year ago, and i won’t lie i was not a fan from the beginning.
I recognize some of that may be some subconscious jealousy, bc he’s been single most of my
life. But seriously, she’s the worst. Very controlling, moving in after just a month,
taking over his money, finding fault in ALL of his relationships other than theirs. She instigates arguments every chance she
gets, and somehow i am ALWAYS the bad guy, just because we are around. She slowly made
it to where my son and i see less and less of my dad, then she texted me one weekend
and told me that i need to stop coming to his house on sunday nights (which has been
our family dinner night for as long as i can remember) bc she has to work monday mornings,
mind you i FCKN grew up in this house, and i was definitely snippy with my response.
Mostly just telling her it wasn’t her place to tell me that. Now my dad won’t “allow”
me in his home until i apologize to her. This has been about a month ago, and he wants my
son to come spend the night and he misses him, but i can’t come inside. He has spent
the night regularly his entire life, but now i’m not even allowed to bring him in and
get him settled? i gotta just drop him in the driveway. Am i petty and ridiculous for
not wanting my kid somewhere where i am not welcome? I’m getting mixed responses from
friends and other family. edits: i haven’t cut his communication from
my son off, they facetime often, just the overnights also i think this is being blown up with my
family so much bc he has spent overnights and weekends with my dad since he was born,
but now that i’m not allowed there, i have cut them off and it’s worth mentioning my dad is not
broke Posted by
u/Teaformylov 11 hours ago AITAH For Telling My Husband Off?
My Husband (39) and me (33) are having our 2nd child and my 3rd child over all (I have
a child from a previous marriage). My husband works a full time job and I run my own at
home bakery and sell at farmers markets. I’m maybe 4-6 weeks at this point so still very
early and will be going to my first appt in a few weeks. I have been feeling very sick
the past few days to the point that some days housework does not get done. Last night I
was up until about 1am because I felt so bad I couldn’t sleep. My husband comes home
from work, I tell him the dog been crying the whole time he has been gone. He replied
back “or maybe it’s that crap smell.” I get upset at this and ask him what he is
talking about. He was apparently talking about the mint sented oil i had on a cotton ball
to keep me from getting sick. Which I tell him a little angry “that doesn’t mean
you have to be mean about it, because that oil is the only thing keeping me from getting
sick” Then from there he see Wendy’s in the trash
can and gets upset that I had taken the kids for Wendy’s drive threw for dinner, and
that I had not done any housework or dishes (we have no dish washer so I have to hand
wash everything). He also proceeded to tell me the pregnant women at his work can do their
job and don’t feel sick, and wanted me to exsplain to him why this is. I can’t really
explain why but tried anyway telling him “idk they probably do feel as bad as I do or maybe
they have medicine to help keep them from feel as bad”. He tried to justify that it
was ok for him to be upset because the house smelled bad to him (he does not like mint),
the AC was on to high, getting take out is my answer to everything and that he is allowed
to feel how he feels. Posted by

Hugz Facepalm2 AITA for telling my fiancée she looked weird
in our wedding night? Jerk
Throw away because i don’t my friends to recognize me for privacy reasons. My 32M i’ve dating Sarah 29F for over 2
years i love her to death and she means the world to me, also she is a person who is comfortable
with her skin and doesn’t use a lot of makeup which i really adore about her and we always
tell the truth to each other no matter what. Yesterday, was our wedding and the moment
i saw her there i was shocked she used a huge amount of makeup that i barely recognized
her without hearing her voice. She saw my facial expression that i was acting
a little out of the ordinary and she asked me what’s wrong? I told her that it’s
nothing but she looked a little weird with all that makeup in her face. She tried to laugh it off and started talking
to her other friends, to be honest at that moment i really didn’t think i said something
wrong or anything especially she didn’t say anything. However, when we went home she started to
give me the cold shoulder treatment, i told her what’s wrong and she said it’s nothing
and she doesn’t feel well and she is tired etc.. To be honest i think she’s hiding something
and that got me wondering if what i said may be
the reason? So aita? Posted by

Bravo Grande! AITA for telling my sister the world doesn't
revolve around her and her son? Not the A-hole
I [F24] am getting married to my fiancé [M26] in October this year. We got engaged in January
and couldn't be more excited. It's a very small wedding and we're only inviting
close family and friends. The problem is with my sister Lisa [F30].
Lisa has a 2 year old son with her husband. I don't have a super affectionate relationship
with Lisa for multiple reasons that I can't fit into this post. We sent out the wedding invites last month.
Our wedding ceremony starts at 1:30pm and we asked our guests to please arrive at the
venue by 1:00. The venue is in our hometown so is close by to the majority of the people
in our guest list including Lisa. Lisa told me that the time 'wouldn't work'
because of her 2 year old's nap schedule. She said he takes a nap at 12 and that she's
not forcing him to be awake so she can get him ready for the event or he will be a terror.
I don't have kids but I thought this was a silly reason? I asked Lisa if she could find
a babysitter and she said she can't because everyone she trusts will be at the wedding.
I suggested that they at least attend the reception but she said she won't if she can't
be at the wedding. She told me she won't attend the wedding unless
we change the time. I told her we can't do that. Lisa said she's not going then. I was
quite hurt by this. I wasn't sure how to react in the moment so I just abruptly ended the
conversation with an excuse. A few days later Lisa asked me if I thought
about her suggestion. I reminded her there's no way we can change the time. She told me
she hopes I'm happy that they aren't attending and said that everyone is going to ask why
she's not there and it's all because I can't accomodate my nephew. I snapped at her and
told her the world doesn't revolve around her and her son. She called me a bridezilla
and has blocked me. My mom is pestering me to make ammends with
Lisa but I just don't think I'm in the wrong. Posted by

Facepalm AITA for unfolding my clothes because my wife
accidentally folded them the wrong way? Jerk
My wife (29F) and I (31M) have been married for 5 years and have 3 kids that are 3, 2,
and almost 2 months old. I work, and she stays home to take care of the kids. She is a great
wife and mom and I love her. Whenever she does laundry, she rolls and puts my clothes
on hangers and I put them away. Yesterday when I got home from work she handed
me my basket of clothes, but instead of them being rolled, they were folded. I asked why,
and she said she just forgot and did them like everyone else’s. I said that was fine
and I went in our room and unfolded the clothes and laid them on the bed, planning on rolling
them back up. However I realized I didn’t have the time because I had to work on a presentation,
so I went to my office and started working. My wife came in awhile after that and asked
why I had unfolded my clothes. I said because I wanted them to be rolled and was going to
do it but realized I needed to finish some work. I asked her if she could please re-roll
them, and she just walked out. She came back with a basket of all my clothes and just dumped
them on the ground in my office and called me an AH and told me to do it myself. I think that it wasn’t an unreasonable request
because she takes care of things around the house and I’ve had the same preference for
my laundry for our entire marriage. I work hard to provide her and our children with
a very privileged life and I don’t think properly rolled laundry is asking for that
much. I did plan on doing it myself but just couldn’t. Now she is giving me the cold
shoulder. Am

u/slightlypettyj 18 hours ago AITA for not accepting my Future MIL’s apology
because she said she wanted her son to be with a princess?
Hey everyone! I (29f) and my fiancé (27m) are having a disagreement about if I’m becoming
the ahole in this situation or not, so I’m turning to Reddit for help. About 2 weeks
ago fiancés mother (51f) came over to our house for coffee and to visit fiancé, they
are very close due to him being an only child so this isn’t weird plus his parents live
about 6 houses down from us. Well about 5 mins into the visit FMIL turns to fiancé
and asks “Has Jessica lost any weight?” Side note I am a 5 foot tall curvy woman.
My fiancé was shocked and said “ I don’t know I haven’t asked why?” She said “ Because
I always pictured you with a princess or mermaid. You know someone taller and thinner. I just
feel bad I didn’t say something sooner and intervened in the relationship before it got
this far.” My fiancé said he was shocked after that and didn’t know to say other
than “what the freak.” His mother left after that and my fiancé told me what happened
when I got home. I obviously was devastated. His mother and I had an amazing relationship
before this and were extremely close. They dont have a lot of family here in the US due
to them immigrating from another country and she has a hard time speaking English so I
always tried to include her in things my fiancé and I were doing so she wasn’t alone when
her husband worked weekends. I tried to learn their native language so she could feel more
comfortable communicating with me. I tried so hard to be the best daughter in law. And
now I feel like it was all fake on her part. And that her I love you’s which she always
said mean nothing. The following day we had her over to “explain” her side but she
just doubled down and said it to my face and that she is “so relieved to tell me this,
that it’s a huge weight off her shoulders, and I hope this doesn’t change our relationship.
” I cried and my fiancé told her to leave, I have not directly spoken to her since and
my fiancé is starting to say that I’m kind of being an ahole because I won’t even speak
to her to accept her apology. Am I being an ahole? Thank you! Posted by
u/Hot-Purple-4907 23 hours ago AITA for telling my husband he was cleaning
the toilet wrong? No A-holes here
I (30F) asked my husband (31 M) to clean the toilet because I'm pregnant and throwing up
often. For a variety of reasons that are equally our fault, the toilet in our master bathroom
has gotten quite gross though we have kept the guest bathroom cleaned. I was frustrated that he didn't do it yesterday
like he said he would (I've thrown up in a gross toilet twice since he said he'd clean
it) so I nagged him to do it today. I'm in our room so I'm like 10 ft from the
bathroom and hear him immediately start scraping the bowl with a pumice stone. I interrupted him and told him he needs to
scrub it with the toilet brush first to get like the gunk off first and that the stone
is for stains, kind of like how you would wipe crumbs off a counter before scrubbing
any gunk with a scouring pad. He got annoyed and said "I know how to clean
a toilet." I told him with how dirty it is going right
in with the pumice is gunna get it all nasty and that he should do toilet brush first then
the stone. I often find that he doesn't seem to know
basic housekeeping skills but instead of taking my advice he insists he knows what he is doing.
For example sweeping the kitchen before wiping off the counters or doing the stove before
the microwave and the microwave bits getting on the cleaningn stove. He uses the wrong
settings on the washer or dryer and frequently forgets to clean the lint trap. I dont judge him for not automatically knowing
these things, we all had to learn at some point. But he gets so defensive when I suggest
there are better/cleaner/more efficient/safer ways to do certain household chores. Mind you these had been primarily my responsibility
since he works more (I am not currently employed and before that he contributed more to the
household financially even when I did work) but he is having to pick up some slack because
this pregnancy is kicking my butt. I feel like maybe I can be too harsh but I
also was very explicitly taught how to clean (I had a rotating chore list of about 2-3
hours of daily chores including everything from sweeping, mopping, bathrooms, laundry,
kitchen deep clean, etc) and he was not. I wish he would defer to my expertise instead
of just doing it wrong and insisting it's fine and he knows what he is doing. Edit to add: Yes the toilet was dirty but
not to the point of the pumice being necessary, IMO cleaner and a scrub brush would have sufficed.
Kind of my point to my husband that he should have used a scrub brush first. For those curious
about why a pumice stone would ever be necessary we have very hard water that can stain the
porcelain around the water line of the bowl, not stains from the toilet being dirty per
se. Never had to edit twice but pregnancy brain
jumbles my thoughts: Overuse of a pumice stone on porcelain causes
damage. Using it gently to spot clean the water ring stain is fundamentally different
from using it to clean the whole bowl. I didn't make that clear and should have because a
trend I'm seeing in comments is people asserting it is an issue of personal preference. Posted by

Golden Peach Emoji AITA for making fun of my brothers job/salary?
Not the A-hole My brother-in-laws make fun of me for being
short, stocky, and for looking older than my age/balding. I’m 30. Whether it’s sports
related, the size of my legs, my vehicle, my stomach, etc. I don’t normally make fun of others and
try to be aware of others feelings. I heard them talking in a small group from a distance
about how terrible I look for my age. I agree with them for the most part, but figured if
we’re speaking facts, then it would be okay for me to walk over and say “For as old
and terrible as I look, at age 30 my salary is triple yours at age 45” and I smiled. Awkwardness ensued and I was approached by
others saying that I took it too far to mention money and a man’s job. I convince myself
to be ok with this but I naturally feel bad for having said this, but I figured I could
not make fun of them for being short or fat because they aren’t, so basically, I had
to work with the ammo that I had. I usually let them making fun of me slide without saying
a word and go home feeling kinda bad about myself, but I’ve been getting tired
of it lately. AITA? Posted by

Triple-Ply Toilet Paper Are You Serious?2
I am disappoint2 Facepalm6 AITA for yelling at my wife after she blew
up my phone with calls because of a fire? Jerk
Throwaway because some of this made local news and I don't want it connecting back to
me. I work in a place where we are not allowed
to have personal electronics on us at all. No phones, no smart watches, no pagers. I've
been working here for about 6 months so my wife knows this and understands that she should
not try to contact me by my cell at work. Phones are dropped off in our lockers and
I typically have mine on Do Not Disturb. Before this incident, my phone has never gone off
in the locker before. Recently there was a pretty big fire at a
secondary worksite that I do work at occasionally but that day I was working at the main building.
Local news covered the fire before I found out about it because again no electronics,
plus the work we do isolates us a bit so news travels pretty slowly. There were a few casualties,
a lot of seriously injured folk. My wife had been watching the news from home
and started freaking out, I guess. She called me 20 freaking times, which (and I did not
know this was possible) overrode my DND and my phone was ringing for a while in my locker.
In the middle of my shift, I got called into my managers office and was chewed out (and
written up) for my phone making so much noise. They told me to go take care of whatever it
was making my phone go off before I went back to work. I won't lie...when I saw those 20 missed calls
from my wife I was seriously ticked off. Like I said, she knows not to try to contact me
directly and a citation hurt my chances of getting a raise or promotion. I called her
back and she was sobbing and asking me if I was okay. I said of course I was okay and
asked what the f*ck was wrong with her to call me so many times. She was still crying
and started talking about the fire. After that I started half-yelling at her about all
the reasons it was dumb of her to call me. When I got home she was super upset with me.
I apologized for yelling but she refused to talk. She's been very chilly the past few
days and sleeping in our daughter's room. I know it was not the best decision to yell
at her but I still think my anger justified . 1) she knows I don't work in the secondary
worksite very often. 2) she knows that I can't be contacted directly and she could have just
called the office. 3) 20 calls is absolutely *insane*. Am I the jerk? Posted by
u/salma_____667 1 day ago AITA for not giving my autistic niece the
only juice I had? Not the A-hole
I (18f) am diabetic and I have an autistic niece (7f),yesterday my family went hiking
and my brothers family came along, We were walking along the mountains and my niece suddenly
wanted juice and my SIL gave her sugar free orange juice, my niece refused it and said
she wanted apple juice and guess who had packed apple juice with them?me. I like having something sugary on me incase
something happens because yk I am diabetic, my brother then asked me if we could switch
the juices since I didn't even need it at the moment,i refused and said that their juice
had no sugar and what if my sugar rate suddenly went low? Because mine suddenly goes down
so I like to be prepared. My SIL said we were close to reaching the
house and she was sure nothing will happen to me in the 10 minute walk left to reach
house and that my niece was crying because her sensory issues couldn't handle the orange
juice little chunks rn (Idk if autism does that but that's what she said) I refused again
and we went home with my niece screaming her lungs out that she wanted my juice and it
ruined the whole mood and made everyone annoyed. My brother and SIL are a little mad at me
for not understanding my niece's sensory issues but shouldn't they have prepared a backup
juice incase this happened to my niece?, nothing happened to my sugar rate on our way down
like my SIL said she was sure of but I still wasn't comfortable but Idk how I feel rn. AITA for not giving her the drink?.
