Part of being a parent is forcing your kids to do things they don't want to do. Sometimes, they have to eat yucky vegetables and finish the year of playing with their soccer team, even though they wanted to quit halfway through. However, there's a point where parents need to listen to what their kids are saying and act accordingly. One mother took to Reddit to ask whether she was the villain for forcing her teenage daughter to wear dresses when going over to their grandparent's house. There is…

In this episode of AITA, u/youkickmydog613 asks redditors whether he was in the wrong for ditching his wife's birthday dinner at Shogun. According to OP's account of what happened, his wife had asked for his input on where to go for dinner with the family for her birthday, to which he replied, “literally anywhere except shoguns is fine.” OP hates the food at Shogun, you see, and didn't want suffer through another meal there, not even for his wife's birthday. Well, the whole family decided on Sh…

The odds may be slim, but they are never zero.

Oh sure, he's a 'liason'

“Quiet quitting” is one of those phrases that's wiggled into our vernacular seemingly overnight. Initially, quiet quitting was when employees would slack off at their jobs, essentially waiting to get fired. S

Totally believable

Plus, two acting greats in the poll of a lifetime.

Babysitting kids can go two very different ways. Either the kids are totally cool, or they are absolute monsters that cannot be tamed. I was lucky that the kids I looked after were rad as hell when I was a teenage babysitter. Their parents were never too controlling, telling me that we could only do boring educational activities with the kids. I had the distinct pleasure of babysitting kids who were not toddlers, which definitely made my experience more enjoyable. Unfortunately, not everybody i…

F*** around, find out

There's always that one retired Karen who has all the time in the world to go to the local Michaels every other day with a new stack of coupons. Every cashier knows their Karen very well and holds their breath whenever Karen is about to choose which checkout line to terrorize. u/Neat_Warthog2633 recently shared a short and sweet story about a local Karen who came in hot, making demands about stacking coupons and senior discounts. She even asked the manager over (shocking!), who maliciously comp…

Lights, camera, debunked!

When friends reveal their true nature

It's a tale as old as time. A married dude on Reddit decides his wife can't “provide” for him sexually, he begs her to open the marriage . Fast forward and his wife, who reluctantly agreed, has way more success with suitors, causing the husband to change his mind about having an open relationship at all. And then he posts about it on Reddit. It seems these dudes will never learn, but if we're being honest, it never gets old to watch ‘em f*ck around (literally) and find out (literally). Thanks t…

Depending on the people, all sorts of subtle power dynamics can start to emerge in a new marriage and manifest in strange ways. These dynamics can become especially ugly and problematic if one person in the relationship is a sociopathic control freak. An older r/AmItheAsshole thread recently went viral on Twitter because of its sheer weirdness. The original post by u/aitalightswater comes across as desperate as she explains her husband's bizarre behavior. According to OP, her husband quit his j…

We're sad to report that the boomers still don't understand that things have changed in the past fifty years. It's as if nothing has happened outside of their lived experiences. “I made $10 an hour in 1970 and bought my own house by the time I was 30! If I did it, so can you.” You can try and explain to grandpa the concept of housing price inflation, or that $10 in 1970 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $77 today (which would be an annual salary of $148,379), but there's a strong chanc…
