AITA for telling my mom about my dad’s weaponized incompetence? Read More »
I’m currently hiding in our bedroom with a bottle of wine, while my husband plays video games in the living room, probably telling his online friends how I “ruined Christmas.” My phone is blowing up with texts from his mom, calling me selfish, and I’m debating whether I should just block her until New Year’s.
My (28F) brother (30M) and his wife (27F) had their first baby a year ago. I’ve been helping them out by babysitting for free a couple of days a week since they can’t afford daycare, and I work from home. I genuinely love my niece, and I was happy to help out at first. However,

So basically, I had ordered all my children’s christmas presents online to be sent to my in-laws home. As we are spending christmas there this year, my mother-in-law said that she didn’t mind wrapping them all up before we all got there. We arrived here yesterday and all was well. After the kids got settled
I (24F) have been working since I was 18 and have been diligently saving money. Over the years, I’ve built up a decent emergency fund and started putting money aside for a house. My parents have always known I’m good with money, but recently my mom (48F) has been pressuring me to give her access
Our daughter (8 years old) asked for a snow globe for Christmas. It’s all she wanted. My wife said no, because our daughter is not good with fragile stuff. My wife said our daughter will end up smashing it right away. I insisted because maybe she won’t break it. Also, its what she wants for
