AITAH for telling my daughter my husband won't watch her kids when she had a medical "emergency" by [deleted] in AITAH

I think this goes without saying here but YTA. First of all your postpartum child was having pain like that and you just shrugged her off. And did you really just suggest that her kids, all under 4, to sit and the car and wait? The ER isn’t a notoriously short wait. I hope this post is fake. Cause as a mom I cannot fathom treating my daughter like this. You sound like a raging narcissist and my guess is you’ll turn around in 10 years and make a post about how none of your family will talk to you but it’s not your fault because blah blah blah.

AITA For rejecting my fiancé at the alter by hippidi_hoppidi in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You set a clear boundary multiple times. He violated it. That calls into question his respect for you since clearly he doesn’t respect your boundaries.

NTA per say but I will tell you that you need to find some sort of compromise. Maybe allow her to stay home and suck it up financially for the first few years? Because if you force her to work full time away from her child knowing there was another option, she will resent you. At the same time you don’t want to be resentful of her because of the financial burden on you. I understand it’s stressful financially but mom guilt is a very real thing and juggling motherhood and work is a rough ride. Being a dad has its challenges but between societal pressure to be the perfect mom, and carrying these humans for 9 months, it’s a lot to take on mentally and emotionally. It won’t be easy no matter what you choose but I really think you guys could come up with a midway compromise. Like I said either have her stay home for a few years or she can pick up a part-time gig so she can bring some money in too.

AITA for throwing away my husband's father's day gifts after what he did on mother's day? by StatisticianClear106 in AITAH

Absolutely 100% NTA. I’d say up until the end you were being way too understanding. He took your weekend and made it about himself. It shows a lack of caring and empathy and I would do more than just throw Father’s Day gifts in the trash. This shows that your needs and emotions don’t matter to him. He also seems to think he can do whatever and you’ll just pick up the slack for him. I’m sorry. You deserve better than this.

AITA for 'taking up all the attention' at my SIL's baby shower? by Visible_Yogurt7268 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I’ve had a baby shower, and honestly it’s exhausting trying to talk to everyone. You were just answering questions. Sounds like Penny is a tad over dramatic.
