'I woke up to over 50 texts': 22-year-old walks out of surprise party thrown by their family members after insisting they didn't want a celebration

The internet is totally divided: did this person handle their surprise party the right way, or were they totally out of line? It all depends who you ask, according to the commenters on this story from u/noparty4me88. As you can guess from their username, this person does not like parties for themself. They mention that they didn't ever have parties for their own birthdays, not even the major birthdays that often get large celebrations like their sweet 16 or their 21st. Some people just don't li…

Entitled sister expects uncle to take time off work to watch her collection of 3 children aged 10, 7 and 5-years-old: 'I told her no, I wasn’t available'

Making adjustments to your schedule and going out of your way to accommodate and do favors for others only to have them cancel on you at the last minute or throw it back in your face is going to make you like not to do it again. Really, no one can blame you for that—well, except that same disgruntled and entitled friend or family member who is coming back around looking for another favor and expecting you to drop everything at a moment's notice for them again. Sure, it's great for parents to ha…

'[I let] my kids loot my brother's house to prove my point': 8-year-old steals his cousins toys, teenage cousins ransack the kid's house in return

This uncle is wondering if he taught his child and nephew the right lessons. After all, teaching your child right from wrong is an ongoing lesson throughout their life. The ways that most kids learn what to do and not to do is by watching how the adults in their lives act. That's why u/Some_Addition_9752 headed to r/AITAH to ask a larger audience if they were right for the way they encouraged their child to act. As a parent, it's frustrating to buy your kids expensive toys knowing they could qu…

15-year-old publicly calls out her parents for their preferential treatment of her 17-year-old sister during family gathering: '[Things] got awkward after and my parents yelled at me'

Sisters, can't live with ‘em and—can’t live with ‘em… When it comes to siblings, disagreements, spats, and petty arguments are just part of the bargain, and even if you grow up to be best of friends, there will be points when you’re growing up where you just want to tear each other's hair out. None of this is helped at all by sibling rivalries, the other complex family dynamics, and the topsy-turvy changes of adolescence. Still, things aren't quite even that simple or straightforward when narci…

'I won't do business with family': Entitled fully grown uncle tries to convince nephew to co-sign on a loan for a new home, nephew refuses causing family drama

Drawing boundaries with family members is often a necessity. It's not fun to do, but if you don't do it, people are going to rely on you well into their adult years, when they are supposed to be independent. Here , we're not dealing with an overly kind and compromising parent to a needy adult man-child, which is often the case when we come across these stories. Instead, we're dealing with an overly kind and compromising nephew to an even more childish and messy uncle. This uncle had a series of…

17-year-old storms out of his own birthday party when parents "gift" him the gender reveal of his sibling as his only present: 'Everyone was saying I’m a spoiled brat for walking off'

There's one thing worse than not getting someone a gift for their birthday or any other situation where gift-giving is an expected social norm, and that's getting them a “gift” that is actually for yourself and serves your own wants and needs. Doing this surpasses the thoughtlessness of not getting a gift and strays into the territory of showing them that you put thought into it and then settled on something for yourself instead.

Kid discovers he's the product of his birth parents' extra-marital affair, they try to go no-contact with him, he gets even by telling their spouses the truth

This kid doesn't know just how iconic he is for doing what he did.

Mother takes a stand declaring that she won't be attending any events that her 4-year-old and 6-year-old children can't attend: 'I said I wouldn’t attend if my kids weren’t invited'

Everyone likes to think that they're the exception to a rule, usually because they're so certain that they're so much better and smarter than everybody. The reality of the situation couldn't be further from the truth, and the truth is this: If you think you're the exception, the rule exists for you. This couldn't be truer than when it comes to parents who think that their kids should be an exception to “child-free” events, either bringing them anyway without saying anything or making some drama…

Mother forces 16-year-old daughter to go to therapy for not celebrating her stepfather on Father's Day: 'I didn't want another dad'

It's a tricky thing to make someone feel something that they don't feel. And when you're a teen there's so much changing emotionally that it's sometimes hard to make sense of the things you're actually feeling without trying to force it—or having someone gaslighting you and saying that you said something that you never said. When that person is your parent, it makes things a whole lot more complicated; this is the person who is supposed to be showing you the way, and while they probably think t…
