WIBTA if I don’t get on the plane to visit my parents, with tickets they purchased?

I do not have good relationship with my parents. Growing up the were emotionally abusive (my father more constant screaming in my face, and my mother more emotionally manipulating). I was essentially the crutch/punching bag for my parents growing up.

Currently I live with my SO of 5 years. My mother has been after me non-stop to visit them again since the last time (July 2018). I have been making excuses that are for the most part true. I recently gotten a new job and I have been putting time into that, and don’t really have the money to spend on tickets OR take off of work.

After months of asking, she texts me in June asking if we would fly out to surprise my dad for his bday Friday, if she would purchase our tickets. I didn’t want to agree, but she made sure to use my fathers heart condition against me and I felt backed into a corner. I agreed reluctantly.

Up until last week, there was ZERO talk about tickets. I’ll admit I was hoping that it would fall through, but from persistence from my bf I asked my mom what the status was with the tickets. I immediately receive a confirmation code for 2 arrival tickets. I am then given a confusing story of an original round trip being purchased through 1 airline, only for her to realize she had points through another airline with an earlier time she preferred - so she then purchases the arrival flight I received - and says she is going to contact the original airline to see if she can drop the arriving flight and keep the departing flight.

Over this past weekend I ask again where the return flight is and the story keeps changing or there’s some excuse. “Oh I left my charger at home for my laptop I can’t email you the code” or “I bought it through my work email and I can’t access that from home”. Today I asked her to please email the information so my bf and I can...

AITA for brining my own food to a party because I couldn’t eat what was being served?

25m if that matters. Sorry for any spelling errors. Due to an injury I can only type with my non dominant hand right now.

A family member had a re-signing party yesterday. I'm allergic to tomato and they were Ording Pizza from a place that doesn't do pizza with white sauce. So I got food from somewhere else.

I had planned to eat my food before more of the guests arrived but I got busy helping my SO and his sister with setting up so I ended up eating when everyone else was. I was eating the food on the couch. My boyfriend was outside and other people were getting some food.

Someone's kid saw me eating complained to their mum that I was eating something different. The mum came up to me and told me it was rude to eat something different in front of other people. She said it wasn't fair to her son and now her son is asking why he can't have what I was having.

I told her that I have an allergy and her son wanted what I was having she could go pick that up for him. She said that I should eat it somewhere else and be more considerate of other people. AITA?

I didn't bring this up to my boyfriend or anyone else yet because i didn't want to bring it up at the party , so I don't know what their thoughts on it are. Edit: not sure if it matters the hosts new I would be brining my own food.

AITA for opening a gift my girlfriend sent me in front of friends even though she specifically asked me not to?

I (23M) met my girlfriend (22M) three years ago and we started dating a few months afterward and lived together from mid-2018 until the end of 2019 when she got a job opportunity across the country (York to Oxford) and decided to take it. Since then, we've been long-distance and have communicated by texting and calling, and sometimes sending each other letters or gifts.

About a month ago, my girlfriend told me that she would be sending me a gift and that it was special compared to other gifts we'd sent to each other so I was excited to open it, but she told me that she only wanted me to open it if I was alone. When the package arrived, I happened to have two friends of mine over, but I knew they weren't judgemental and I was so excited to open the package that I just did while they were watching.

At first, it seemed like basic stuff she would send, but then I saw a few pieces of paper folded up and when I opened them, they were some sexy photos she'd taken for me. I tried to hide the photos from my friends when I realised what they were but it was too late and they'd already seen them.

Last night, I received a call from my girlfriend and she was mad at me and shouting at me. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that one of my friends had drunkenly mentioned seeing the photos and told her. She told me that she was so embarrassed and that she only took those photos because she thought I'd be the only one to see them and told me I'd broken her trust by opening my gift in front of friends. I told her that she didn't tell me there was anything of that sort in there and that I'd probably have stuck the photos up on my wall anyway and that my friends would have seen them in that way. She started crying and rejected my efforts to comfort her...

AITA for asking my SIL to babysit my Kids?

I 33F have 3 kids under 4 both my husband and I work full time. We send out children to day care which is VERY expensive. My SIL(27) husband's little sister is due to give birth to her first baby in about a month. She is very lucky her job is providing her with 6 months maternity leave fully paid.

Here is where the conflict comes in. Since she will be home for 6 months watching her baby my husband and I were thinking we could also drop our children off. My husbands mother is there with her most days anyway and her husband for the first 3 weeks so she has a lot of help. It would also be a nice time for all the cousins to bond and get close. It would also save us a ton in child care cost for 6 months and we can throw some money in savings finally.

My husband and I visited his sister last week and brought this up to her near the end of our visit she was very quiet but said she would think about it. The next day she sent my husband a text saying that she discussed it with her husband and they decided they want that time to just bond with the baby and taking the kids would be too much. We honestly think this is BS and her husband obviously talked her out of it. She has her husband and my MIL there to help her she wont even need to brother with my kids and its only for 6 moths. We offered to let her have 2 weeks with just the baby so they can bond and start brining out kids after that but she declined.

My husband is more upset then I am and has been ignoring his sister since in his words is she cant help out family then she isn't his family. She has called and texted mu husband many times but he ignored them all then blocked her. she is very upset about his and...

AITA for telling my parents I feel sometimes feel neglected by them after they bought me the wrong shoes for Christmas?

Let me start this off by saying, I know that I am not neglected anywhere near the point where child protection services need called. Oh, and I live in Scotland (I dunno if this is important or not). Oh and we are a pretty well off family.

Okayyy... So pretty much I (16m) have always felt slightly left out by my parents and that they dont love me as much as my sisters (17f, 15 and 14f). Its not that they dont love me, it more that I've never really been their top priority. However I've always thought that I was just being selfish and spoilt.

So a bit about me. I'm lucky you could say. I do well academically, I compete at a high level in sports, I have lots of friends, and have never struggled with any form of mental health and am (apart from so acne) generally what would be considered handsome. I definitely got the good genes. However my parents dont really care about that, they don't come to my competitions, never really encouraged me and rarely came to parents evening.

My sisters on the other hand always got attention and praise for whatever they did and were spoilt (I think my parents just wanted girls) however they didn't get the lucky genes, the are all quite unpopular and suffer from anxiety and stress (important for later). But they always were my parents favourites and never got told off, or got rewarded lots for tiny things (making the bed etc).

Anyway I couldn't help but feel neglected seeing as even if I ever won a trophy they wouldn't care but if my sisters did anything they would act like they'd won a Nobel prize.

So cut to Christmas my parents asked us for what we wanted and I asked for a set of new running shoes that cost about £45. Meanwhile my sisters were asking for phones or jewelry (stuff that would cost about £150ish pounds). Anyway so on Christmas we were all opening our presents when it got too the...

AITA for telling my inlaws my parents ate my pet?

Throwaway, english isn’t my first language so apologies

When i was about 13 my parents took me to a family friend’s house in the country for a weekend. The house is tended by a family that lives in that rural area and while we were visiting they were having a raffle in order to collect money. You paid $10 for a ticket and the winning ticket would win a lamb.

My dad gave me money for a ticket and at the end of the weekend they held the raffle and I won. I wasn’t allowed to take the lamb into the city with me but we spent the next few weekends visiting their country house so i could see my lamb. I went to spend the summer at my grandparents as i do every year and when i came back i asked to go see my lamb and my father told me that we couldn’t. When i asked my older brother why he said that they had visited the family friends over break and had eaten my lamb.

I was sad because i loved my lamb but i knew that raffles like that were usually meant for consumption. I was sad for a while but i got over it, making jokes about them eating my pet lamb throughout the years and it became a family anecdote.

Fast forward to now, I am engaged and our parents were meeting for the first time and we went to a restaurant and my mom ordered lamb and my fiance’s mother said that she’d never had lamb before and asked me how i liked it and i said i wasn’t a fan of lamb cue the story above. Everyone laughed and we had a nice dinner.

When we got in the car my mother started yelling at me that i had embarrassed her and that now my future in laws thought they were monsters for eating my pet and that my fiance was going to leave me because he wouldn’t marry into a family of monsters and that he...

AITA for asking my boss not to bother me while I'm taking my lunch?

So I work in a small building. Our break room is in the workroom and the table where staff eats lunch is on the other side of my bosses office. Often when I take my lunch my boss will come out of her office and back into the kitchen area and start asking me questions about work related things. At first I didn't mind but lately it's gotten annoying. I'm very introverted and like to use my lunch as a way to recharge before I have to go back out and interact with customers. Also, I just want a break and to eat my lunch in peace without having someone ask me questions.

The other day I was in the middle of eating watching a video on my phone and she started asking my opinion for ways to implement a new company policy. I politely asked her if I could wait to give her my ideas after I was done eating and she looked suprised and mildly annoyed. Said sure and huffed off to her office. I'm now wondering if I did something wrong?

I feel it's only fair that she leave me alone during my lunch break especially when no one is allowed to disturb her during hers. She takes lunch in her office and closes the door or leaves and goes out. When I told some friends about asking her not to bother me they acted like I was overreacting. Was I?

AITA for letting my son go pick up dinner by himself?

My 12yo son was born with deformed legs that had to be amputated at birth so he's been in a wheelchair his whole life. Otherwise he's a normal kid who happens to be in a wheelchair.

Lately he's been pushing HARD for independence from me and his mother. I understand and support that.

Last night he asked if we could sandwiches from a sandwich place for dinner. I said sure and we'd go in a bit. He said he wanted to go pick it up himself. At first I was going to say no but realized that I ought to let him. It's down the street.

So I told him I'd place the order and he could go pick it up himself. He left and there were some challenges because there wasn't anyone with him to open doors or to push him. It took awhile but he did it.

His mom came home and asked where he was and I said he went to pick up dinner. She asked with whom and I said with himself. She was furious and was about to go drive to pick him up until I told her to leave him the f__k alone. He has a cell phone if he needs help. She was worried about his getting hit by a car or how bad it looks sending your disabled 12yo our by himself to pick up dinner.

WIBTA for using my savings on plastic surgery even though my fiancé thinks it should go towards a down payment for our starter home?

Here’s the explanation since I know the title makes me look pretty bad.

I am 30f, my fiancé, Nate, is 33m. We’ve been together 3 years and plan to get married in about a year’s time and hopefully buy a house soon after that. I have saved significantly more than him (28k while he has under 3k in savings), even though we make nearly the same amount. I will probably be the one having to fork over the majority of the down payment. We’re still discussing how much of our money we will keep separate when married; I trust him enough but I’m definitely better handling money, he admits this as well. The house would obviously be under both our names.

Anyways, I got b__ast implants when I was 19. I was really insecure back then and thought it was the magic fix as my b***s were always disproportional to the rest of my body. Turns out it wasn’t (shocker!), and self esteem only came after a lot of therapy.

The results were pretty natural, I got fairly small implants and went to a great surgeon. The problem is I’ve had so many complications from this. One implant ruptured and needed emergency surgery 3 years later. I have a lot of b__ast pain and discomfort, it’s been a constant for years now. I’m also about 30lbs heavier than my skinny teenage self, and so my breasts got much larger. I’m a runner now and would certainly prefer the comfort of being smaller, I’d be happy with my natural size again.

So, I decided I’m going to get my implants removed and a b__ast lift, since without that they could look like deflated balloons, as the doc said and the internet seems to back up. This surgery will run me 13k.

This could certainly set our house timeline back a bit, but I feel like it’s worth it as I’m in constant pain and have dreamed of getting this over with for years now. We plan on kids in the next few years as well, and...

AITA for not knowing what my diamond was?

This is honestly the weirdest thing I’ve ever been called an a__hole for but I figured I’d let Reddit decide if I was truly an a__hole. One of my friends who I will call Jane is getting engaged to her long time boyfriend who I’ll call John. Jane reached out to me asking for help looking for Styles of rings she likes. I agreed to helping her and we spent all day combing over different jewelry stories. While we were shopping around. She asks me about my wedding set, I have a three stone engagement ring. The center stone is a round 1/2 karat Diamond with two sapphires on either side. My wedding band is Diamond and sapphire as well. She asks where I got it from and I tell it’s from Helzberg so we stop there and look around. While we are in the store, she asks me if my Diamond is natural or lab created, I explained to her that I genuinely didn’t know and honestly I really didn’t care. It was a set my husband and I picked out together and I love it. She keeps pressing asking me about how I couldn’t know what my ring was. She then asks me about my husbands wedding band as he also had diamonds and sapphires in his. I told her that again I didn’t know and honestly he and I didn’t care what they were. She blows up at me saying I’m “gatekeeping.” My ring and didn’t want to actually help her and she storms off. I’m utterly confused on how I’m an a__hole but I guess I could have looked at the website and I assume it would have told me what the stones were but I don’t see why it matters. So AITA?

AITA for refusing to bow to my Korean fiancee's grandparents?

My fiancee is Korean-American, and I'm American. We've met each other parents before, and she's met my grandparents, but I've yet to meet her grandparents because they live in Korea. We are planning a trip to Korea as soon as it's possible so that I can meet her grandparents.

She's asking me to bow to her grandparents when we meet, since respecting the elders is a big deal in Korean culture. Not just like a causal dip, like a full on 90 degree bow. I said I'd rather not since I found it emasculating and that I just don't bow to anyone. She said that it was important to her culture, but I pointed out that she didn't bow to my grandparents or parents. I just think it's hypocritical to expect me to bow to her grandparents when she didn't bow to mine. Her grandparents aren't my superior just because of their age, why should I have to bow?

She said it was just one tiny thing I could do to earn their respect, but I said that if it was so tiny, it should be fine if I don't do it. And that I respect myself and that's why I'm not going to bow, and she was just going to have to respect my decision. She thinks I'm an a__hole for that, AITA?

AITA for cutting off my friend because of the wedding gift she got me?

My friend, T, and I have been friends since middle school. We have been great friends throughout the years, but when we started college, our lives began to grow apart. No problem because I feel like I am a low maintenance friend. We can pick up where we let off anytime you feel like it. I do my best to reach out to her when I miss her and if she ever wants to rant, I’m here for her. I have always offered her my bed when she just wants to get away from her hectic family and have a quiet place to rest and draw.

T and I are in different places in our lives, but I don’t think one is better than the other. To keep it simple, T’s life plan is messy, for lack of a better term. She would rather save all her money to travel to Japan a couple times a year than pay for someone to fix/pull out her rotting tooth that hurts so badly she can’t eat (She has been complaining for a year now). However, that’s her life and its wonderful that she can afford to travel a lot.

Well, a year and a half ago, I got engaged and immediately started planning. There was no doubt that I wanted her to be in my bridal party. She said yes. I emphasized that I know she wants to go to Japan once in the fall and once in the spring, but could she please not plan it on my wedding date, which is at the end of October. She agreed. Eventually, she dropped out of my wedding party, but said she would still come. She didn’t drop out because of anything I did since I did most planning and crafting by myself. My only requirement for my wedding party was to show up and my husband and I would pay for all the dresses, suits, ties, makeup, hair, whatever.

A few days before my wedding, T had messaged me and said she had just gotten back from Japan and...
