AITA for RSVPing no to my brother's wedding for my family even after he begged me to let us all attend?

I (34F) have a younger brother (technically half) from my mom who is 26 and he is getting married. My brother's dad and my mom were engaged for a couple of years when my brother came along. When he was 1 my mom found out his dad was cheating. His dad packed up and moved in with the other woman and married her three years later. My brother split his time with us and with his dad equally. It was always awkward when we were around his dad and his dad's wife. She was always super hostile to my mom and super insulting to her. My mom kept her mouth shut through it all. She did not fight back. She would try to keep my brother out of the middle. But my brother knew about it all.

When my brother turned 21 he had this big birthday party and we were all there. During the party his dad's wife called my mom yesterday's news and said she wasn't the kind of woman a guy marries. My mom fired back that at least she didn't sleep with men in relationships with others. My brother heard the entire exchange but scolded mom for what she said. Mom got so upset that she quickly left. I asked my brother how he could let his dad's wife talk to mom like that but only scold mom. He said mom has always been better than that and he expects it to continue. I told him he wasn't a little boy anymore and shouldn't expect mom to always accept the hate and that...

WIBTA for saying my 3yo can’t be in SIL wedding?

I (34F) don’t like my husband's youngest sister (30F). She is the baby and acts like a brat. Everyone coddles/caters to her. I have seen her throw tantrums, flip out on family, make her mom cry, and pout because she didn't get her way, lost at a game, etc. Thankfully she lives 3.5 hours away. I like my MIL and other SIL. We'll call the one getting married T.

I was fine with my 2yo S (3 at time of wedding) being in the wedding despite the logistics stressing me out. Wedding is 3.5 hours away. We need to go up night before for rehearsal, and setup next day. Wedding is at 5pm. It would be a long day for S. She's shy around big groups. I doubt she'll walk down the aisle when it's time. At my wedding, I had my nieces as flower girls. The 3yo was excited until it was time and then freaked out. Her mom carried her. T later commented that it ruined it. T also took control of things I asked not to happen. After ceremony, we had pictures. Food was to be put out for guests. I didn't want anyone waiting on us. T knew that but still told people they had to wait for us and she would dismiss them by table. When we returned I was annoyed and told people to get food. T got pissy and said she was dismissing them.

During the bouquet toss, my cousin caught it. T ripped it from her hands. There is video. T's now fiance got upset at her for...

AITAH for not helping a woman who says her child should receive survivor benefits from my late ex?

My(43) ex husband Duke(54) and I divorced because he habitually cheat on me. We were divorced a little over 2 years when he died in a motorcycle accident. I paid for his funeral because of my daughter(15) and despite everything he was her father and I didn’t want the state to bury him. That was 4 months ago and my daughter is doing well. I applied for survivors benefits for her shortly after his funeral and have been receiving monthly payments. Yesterday I received a phone call from my caseworker at the social security office informing me that a woman called claiming that she had a 3 years old son by my ex husband. However the woman had no proof the boy is actually my ex husband’s(not signed birth certificate or dna test). The case worker asked me if I would be willing to allow my daughter to do a dna test to prove this child’s paternity. I refused. I did the math and this child was definitely conceived while I was still married to my ex. Furthermore at the time of conception I had gone thru a very traumatic hysterectomy with major setbacks that nearly killed me. I suspect I know who this woman is and she definitely knew my ex husband and I were still married. I’m mad as hell and I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing by refusing but I was humiliated enough but my ex when he was alive and I feel even more embarrassed now.

Edit. I wrote this over a year ago when I first found out about...

AITA for refusing to help my siblings with our mother's funeral plans and for telling them I do not want to be named in her obituary?

My mother died two days ago. My siblings were all with her when she died. I was not. She was a bully to me and hated my guts as long as I can remember. Not sure if it was the fact I was the kid who looked so much like dad, the fact she was young when she got pregnant with me and resented me for it, or whether I was just unlucky. But she gave me a horrific childhood and my dad died when we were all young so I was left to watch her dote on my siblings and treat me like s__t. I got to hear all the time that I ruined her life, that she wished she had aborted me, that she dreamed of me dying and getting relief of knowing she'd never have to see me again. I ended up staying with friends from the age of 15 and I hadn't seen her since my 20th birthday, when she showed up with my siblings and told me she wanted to puke just looking at me. I never told her I was gay, never introduced her to my husband or my children. When my siblings called to tell me she was dying I was so happy. Knowing she's gone, knowing that the woman who hated me for reasons out of my control, who made sure I know how much she never wanted me, filled me with such a feeling of relief. But of course my siblings are heartbroken. They wanted me to be involved. I told them no way, no how. I said she...

AITAH because I refuse to misgender and deadname a missing person?

So I’m a cop (22M) and the other night we got a report for a missing person. Her parents came in and were freaking out because they found her car outside a bar and haven’t been able to reach her. Initially I thought they were talking about a guy, they kept using a traditionally guy name and he/him pronouns, until her father made a comment about trans people. I asked him how that was relevant and he told me that she’s been having issues, that she’s changing her name and “pretending” to be a woman, and that it’s been an problem for them. So I stop and say “You’re child’s transgender?” He responds “No, he’s a man.” And at the point I got really uncomfortable. Because I’m not going to engage in transphobia just because they are, and so I immediately make the switch. Which pi**es them off. They asked to talk to my captain, so I go get him and explain the situation. He’s not happy either and tells me that I shouldn’t have done that, that I should’ve just gone along with it. After they left word got around about what I did and people are a lot colder to me now. And for anyone wondering, the woman’s safe. She came in yesterday and explained that she wasn’t missing, she only left her car at the bar because she was drinking and didn’t want to drive home. She also told us that went no contact with her parents a while ago and they’ve been trying to contact her in anyway possible. Long story short we got...

AITH for refusing to do anything for my boyfriend anymore because he told me” don’t expect me to act like a husband”?

Sorry for the long title but basically that is what just happend. I (23 F) and my boyfriend (27 M) are together for a year and a half. We both want this to be our last relationship and he told me numerous times that we ll get married and all that. We lived with his parents for 3 months until we rented our own place, I met his whole family, and everything that involves a serious relationship. We even talked kids and parenting styles. Anywas, we have more like a traditional relationship. That means I do all the house choires, I cook, clean, wash clothes, wash dishes, mop the floors, take the trash out, and basically everything involving taking care of the house and us. I don’t mind him not helping because he works hard and I like to create a clean and homey enviorment for both of us. Today though, I kinda snapped. My mother send me some money as a gift and I told him and he asked me how much money I got left and after I told him he said” keep them for our next vacation then”. I replied in a jokingly manner “you re gonna pay for the vacation as well” of which he replied “ I didn’t think I had to act like a husband”. I was so hurt by this considering I treat him exactly like a loving wife would, always caring for him and always loving. For the record, I gave him all my money from my mom because I thought it would be easier for him just to pay...
