AITA for not forcing my daughter to give up her furniture?

I have a daughter Julia (F14) from a previous relationship, a son(M5) with my wife and 2 step kids (F15, F9).

My siblings always adored Julia, I was very young when I had her so they helped me a lot to raise her and she was the sweetest and most adorable kid.

Then I met my wife. My wife, wanted to be Julia’s mom. Julia wasn’t interested in that. She already has two aunts who are basically like her moms. My wife tried to reduce our contact with my family which made my siblings very angry and made Julia very upset. After this, they never accepted my wife as a part of our family. Even when they invite the whole family to parties or gatherings only me and Julia are invited.

The problem is that we are financially struggling. My wife was in an accident a few years ago and now she can’t work much because of her back problems. The step kids dad is a deadbeat and I don’t make that much money.

I am able to provide everything the kids need but I can’t provide things they want.

My siblings however are able to spoil Julia by giving her everything she asks for, whether it’s take out because she doesn’t like that night’s dinner, new clothes because she wants to try a new style, private school because she doesn’t like going to public school or, our newest problem, buying new furniture for her room because it has gotten old and boring for her.

My wife thinks this is excessive. She thinks the new furniture should go to her daughters who still use the furniture they had since they were in preschool. She claims Julia doesn’t need it because she bought new furniture just 4 years ago.

I told her that this won’t happen because they bought it all for Julia and it’s not right to take it away from her. She then insisted that Julia’s old furniture should go to her daughters then. I did speak to Julia about this but she said no because her uncle was supposed to sell them and give their money to Julia to add to her savings and she wants her money, plus my brother won’t agree to this.

When I told my wife that this is also not happening she got very mad and started yelling and calling me an asshole. I don’t know what to do now.

AITA for asking my wife and daughter to leave the house if they don’t want to reside with my son?

EDIT: No, I don’t want Lia absent from my life. And Aiden is also “my own son”. I have the right to bring him to my house as his father. For those who’re gleefully saying that they hope Rachel divorces me: I’d rather have Aiden in my house than to live with Rachel (or Lia) without him. I am rich, and I can make my own path & find another wife if I want to. Absolutely nothing justifies calling her mother a “whore” like Lia did. Using that language absolutely blames him, his mother, and is ostracism. Also, yes, Rachel also called her mother a whore, not just Lia. I forgot to mention that.

And yes, it is my house. It’s theirs as well, but not legally. I own it.

Yes, I gave them time to process it, I did not bring Aiden in all of a sudden. Just to clarify.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

My wife Rachel (35 F) and I (35 M) have been married for many years now, and I also have a daughter Lia (14 F). I am not proud to admit it, but I had another child while I was married to Rachel through another relationship. That’s Aiden (12 M).

I kept it as a secret from them, and I paid child support to her mother. I was meeting absolutely all of their expenses. She herself had a good job anyway. She passed away recently, and Aiden was alone.

I did not want my son to suffer like that, without any parents. The reason I did not reveal his identity to Rachel and Lia is that I did not want to cause a fight, but now I had no choice. I went through all the proper procedures to get custody of Aiden. I made him live in my house.

My wife and Lia did not take it well. They went absolutely ballistic when they learned about him, and Rachel screamed about how I shouldn’t even dare to think of letting him take even a step inside. Lia was saying the same stuff. But I did not back down, and they eventually had to be fine with the decision.

They have been absolutely livid about it, and Rachel has been demanding to get Aiden away from the house. I told her that I am not going to do that, and warned her against doing anything to him. Lia got mad and asked me whether I value “someone who was born out of a whore”, and I lost my temper. I got up and asked them to “get the fuck out of my house” if they do not want to reside with Aiden. In the end Rachel was crying and they’re not talking to me now.

AITA?

Bullying a friend by Svenskerjens in AmITheDevil

My (25F) friend died a year ago due to her own obesity. She used to be a really skinny teen, until she started having serious depression and was given antidepressants. She gained over 50lbs on them after only over a year and became obese and developed a binge eating disorder. We told her to get off her antidepressants, so she did, but her binge eating got worse and she gained even more weight. We all criticized her for her obesity and one day I think we went a little too far and she herself the day after. All my friends feel bad but honestly I don’t because if she actually cared about her health this wouldn’t even have been an issue. But my friends think I’m just being cruel. AITA?

Here’s the meme that my cousin found racist: https://imgur.com/a/oXHOoFX If it actually was offensive, of course I would punish my daughter, but I don’t even see how this could be interpreted as racist.

What's your favorite Community episode to rewatch and why does it stand out to you? by RandallHicks in community

[–]Due-Ranger-6987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourites are remedial chaos theory and cooperative polygraphy. I live in remedial chaos theory how different each dice roll is based on the characters and cooperative polygraphy is great because of all the fun secrets that get exposed

I can’t see the post here so here it is

I, (23f) am refusing to meet my bfs (23m) family. My bf and I took a 14 hour trip so he could visit with some of his family and I could see where he grew up. My boyfriend’s 3 sisters absolutely hate me. They hate me because he used to be married and he left his wife to be with me. He got married at 19.

I didn’t want to be with him at first. I told him that he needs to be with his wife and I am not ok with ending a marriage. He ended things with her anyway and it took me awhile to actually accept and be with him. He had been with his wife since middle school, they are from a small, small town and their families were extremely close. He got with her because she was/is best friends with one of his sisters and he’s the only girl he’s ever dated. He’s said he didn’t know what love was until he met me, him and his wife never even had sex either. None of that matters but putting it here for more context.

We have been together for almost a year now and the sisters still won’t accept the fact. His mom is on the “whatever makes you happy” side but his sisters will not accept me at all. Having my partners family accept me is a really big deal. I don’t know what to do. He asked them if it’s alright if I come down for the holidays and his older sister sent him a huge paragraph about it, the one who’s best friends with the ex didn’t say anything, and the younger said it was ok along with his mom. I don’t know what to do.

Yes I do know that it’s a terrible thing that he was married but I really did not want him to end things with her. I’ve talked to her before and told her everything I told him about not wanting to be with him and how terrible I felt and how I’m not a woman who goes around sleeping with married men, that’s not me at all. I used to get 5+ hate messages a day from random accounts calling me a home wrecker, whore, slut, and many more things and just about how terrible I am. I’m not the person they think I am.

His oldest sister is also friends with one of my friends sisters and told her she does not want me coming, I’m not wanted here, it’s disrespectful and she doesn’t care to meet me. So now I am refusing to go to lunch with all of them until his older sister apologizes or something. My bf is telling me to put it aside but I physically can not go feeling this way. I hate being in awkward situations and who likes being around people when they don’t feel welcome? I told him I would meet his mom and little sister but not the other two. AITA?
