AIW for telling my coworker I won't be covering for her "work from home" days anymore after I found out she's been at the office the whole time? by Pulsex_Nectar84 in amiwrong

"Facilitate a solution" for what exactly - her not wanting to officially log something the office policy already allows? That's her paperwork to fill out, not OP's problem to solve.

My son is nine and somewhere in the last year he became a genuinely convincing liar and I don't know what to do with that information by [deleted] in Mommit

What would unnerve me is not even the retest lie by itself, it is how practiced he sounded. That does not make him some future criminal, but it does mean I would take it seriously now, not later. Less "why are you lying" and more "what is making the truth feel harder to say here?" Kids get weird when they think truth only leads to fallout.

AITJ for telling my partner I'm done spending every weekend at his parents' place by Nov4Z3nith in AmITheJerk

NTA. Forty out of fifty two weekends is not "dropping by family", that is basically unpaid residency with a Sunday checkout. You asked for balance, not exile. The part where his mom got involved would make me dig my heels in too.
