So, a woman gets a free dog as a gift from a family friend. She's all excited to be this doggo's parent, right? But she's doing a pretty lousy job at it. This poor pup is only eight months old, and he needs constant attention and pets. But as the woman tends to her busy social life, she seems to think her siblings are on doggy duty 24/7.

Who knew that a simple prank gone wrong would ignite a long-lasting family feud? Let's be real: the most annoying kind of child is the kid who likes to pull pranks. The original poster of this epic Reddit saga, which was initially shared on the r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, knew that his nieces and nephews all fell into that category. Perhaps because he didn't have children himself, he could see these kids for who they really are. In this scenario, at a family gathering, the kids banded together a…

Sisterly loyalties only go so far, and when one woman's sister, the bride, thought she'd play god with her own sibling's relationship, things backfired. Frankly, weddings bring out the cringe in all of us. Whether you're a sorry sap that cries during the vows (guilty as charged), the distant aunt who reminds the bride that they used to change their diapers, or you're the guest that drinks too much at the open bar, there's some social mixing that brings out the worst in everyone.

In my completely unbiased opinion, dogs might be one of the greatest creatures on this earth. Though, it remains a fact that they're a lot of work—work that is worth it if you have the patience, time, and money… and are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to ensure that they have a good quality of life and that you're being a responsible owner. If you think bringing a dog into your life doesn't require a huge change in lifestyle and responsibility—then I really worry about your poor dog an…

This sister came with receipts when trying to expose the truth that her gentle-parenting sibling was concealing behind a social media pity party spun into a web of lies. Sure, we're all for being nice to people, and there's no argument that this should extend to your kids so you can avoid passing your generational trauma onto them as much as possible. However, if you want your kids to grow up into fine young adults, it's probably important that you don't also teach them to be woefully entitled…

All those Doctor Who fans out there are going to be fans of this one.

While on a family vacation , no one wants to worry about money. After all, the whole point of a vacation is to escape from reality for a little while, soak up the sun, and unwind. This man wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a vacation related question. As he describes, he and his husband, their two kids, and their sister in law, are planning an expensive trip to a resort.

Weddings have an eloquent way of stirring up family drama and ruining bloodline relationships for the rest of your lives. Ironically, though marriages are supposed to bring people together, they somehow make everyone feral Bridezillas of epic proportions. That's why people elope.

Here’s a good rule of thumb in life: don’t surprise your long-lost sibling at her place of work.

For siblings that become the forgotten member of the family, it's tough to watch the golden child slide through life without worries or cares. Obviously, family drama is pretty inescapable, and can be taxing both emotionally and financially. One Redditor, u/TWoldCat , was the outcast of the family and was alienated from her family since a young age by her toxic mother and golden girl sister. However, after she had started a new life without them, she was dragged back into the drama. TWold was f…

Sometimes, you need to know when to quit and when to walk away. Sometimes, you should also learn to take advice the first time it's given to you… especially when you directly asked for it. This couple would do well to learn this and listen to the advice they received from Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole community this week. The pair made separate posts to the sub to see whether or not the wife was in the wrong for her comments to her husband's sister. Her sister-in-law offered her some advice about th…

What do you do when your twin brother steals the name you planned to give to your future daughter? Especially when you promised your dying friend to honor her by doing so.

One guy posted his recent family drama to Reddit, asking if he really needs to be responsible for his brother's complicated financial situation. As he wrote to r/AmItheA******, this guy explained that he and his brother are both adults with families , but the ways they spend their money are quite. For the OP, living with kids and a wife, he tends to be more conservative with his money. He decided to use a chunk of his money to add a plush bathroom to his house.
