AITA for going to work this morning and not specifically telling my husband that he needed to take our child to school?

I am in-office for work every Friday. I leave the house at 6am (before anyone else in the house is awake) to be at work by 7am, that's the way it's been for 3 years. In these last 3 years, my husband has always taken our son (7yo) to school every Friday (school starts @ 8:30). My husband lost their job a few months ago and recently found a part-time job waiting tables at a cafe, because of this, his schedule varies. Today (Friday), he's working 9-5. Today, he got ready for work and noticed our son was awake and watching TV. Husband asked our son if I had gone out to get coffee, son said 'yes' (not sure why, again, I leave before I see or speak to anyone), so my husband took that as fact and just left and went to work. By the time I got the automated call from the school stating he was marked absent, my son had been alone for almost 3 hours. I called the school to verify that our son was there (but possibly late, because that isn't unusual for my husband, unfortunately), and to my horror; he was NOT at school. I called my husband as I was (literally) running out of my office, in a ditch effort, hoping they stayed home together (maybe son was sick?) but nope! My husband's response: "When were you going to tell me I had to take him to school? How was I supposed to do that when I have work at 9?" My response: "And how am I supposed to take him to school at 8:30 when I have work at 7? Why would you assume I hadn't gone to work when this has been my schedule for years now? […]

AITA for backing out of a camping trip with my friends causing their cost to go up after they decided to bring their girlfriends along with them?

Me(24M) and my friends really enjoy the outdoors and for the labor day weekend we have been planning on renting a cabin out in a camping area for a guys trip. I say guys trip because when we originally, we planned on it just being us. All my friends have girlfriends, I do not, and very frequently, events or trips or hangouts end up including the girlfriends. I have no issues with them as people, it's just very frustrating to plan to have a good time with my friends, then ending up as the spare wheel because they all decide to bring their girlfriends along. I have made it known that I don't like it, but it's 3 to one and they always promise that the next time it'll be just us guys. Also because they have different interests, they decide to change the entire purpose of the trip to accommodate them and it's less fun So shocker two weeks ago, the camping trip changed from just us enjoying a weekend of hiking, fishing, hunting and being friends together, into a couples trip. This caused three very big changes. First, we decided on room arrangements ahead of time, there were 3 rooms and we decided whoever took the couch would pay a reduced share of the trip. Someone volunteered and it was fine, no issues. Now that he was bringing his girlfriend along, they wouldn't both be able to be on the couch so now I was sleeping on the couch. This pissed me off, but I was fine. Second, very limited drinking allowed because one of my friends girlfriends thinks he drinks too much and he promised her he wouldn't drink much. […]

AITA For Telling By Best Friend's Fiancee Why I'm Not In Love With Him?

AITA For Telling By Best Friend's Fiancee Why I'm Not In Love With Him? I (30F) am best friends with David (30M). David and I met freshman year of college and clicked right away. We were even roommates for a while and right now we work for the same company in different divisions. After a decade of friendship, I know David's not what want in a partner. He has a huge ego and can be selfish and melodramatic. Even his family admits he can be arrogant and careless. I noticed a lot of positive changes in him when he met Trish. He asks other people how they are now, he's kinder. He started therapy. It's nice to see him work on himself. Last month David asked me to be his best man. I've been involved with a lot of wedding party stuff on the groom's side, so it was nice when Trish asked me out to dinner with her side of the bridal party. It was an ambush. Trish and her MOH asked me if David and I ever hooked up and flat out if I was in love with him. I said we never had and that I wasn't. Trish seemed weirded out by that answer and pushed. It went from being "do you like David?" to "why don't you like David?" real fast. I deflected and said he wasn't my type but they kept pushing. Finally I said he's arrogant and I don't have the energy to feed his ego and that's not what I want in a partner. The rest of the bridesmaids kind of laughed, Trish and her MOH got upset so we ended the night. Later Trish texted the wedding party group chat saying she didn't want me in the wedding because I said horrible things about David and called him an egomaniac. […]

AITA for not letting both our families know that my wife was in the hospital for her baby's delivery until the baby arrived safely and we made sure both my wife and the baby were okay?

My wife and I were expecting a baby girl after 2 pregnancy losses. The first happened around 33 weeks. The baby died inside her, and we didn't know why. She delivered naturally, and I'm still thankful to the doctor and specialized hospital because they refused a C-section and explained that natural delivery was safer for her. About 7 months later she got pregnant again, unplanned, and we lost the baby after around 2 months. Her doctor told us to wait at least a year so she could recover physically and mentally. During that time, tests showed an MTHFR-related clotting issue, and she also had narrowing in an artery supplying blood to the placenta. It wasn't necessarily the main reason, but it was one of the factors. During the next pregnancy she was on daily Clexane injections and was monitored very closely. We often went to the ER at 2 or 3 AM when her baby's movements felt different. In the ninth month, our original doctor recommended a C-section because of her previous losses. We agreed because we just wanted the baby safe. We also saw another doctor who supports natural birth. After seeing her tests, he said there was no reason she couldn't deliver naturally, so we made a birth plan. One day she started having abdominal pain that wasn't really following a contraction pattern. It continued all day. At night I told her we should go to the ER, and after talking to the doctor, he agreed. When we arrived, her water broke. Her cervix wasn't dilated, so the doctor sent us to another hospital where the delivery team, anesthesia and CTG were ready. […]

AITA for telling my(28f) sons (5m) teacher that pickups aren’t a time for conversations

My son has high functioning autism and he goes to a mainstream school. When people see him they expect him to conform like the other kids his age and he has difficulties socially. Anyways the new school year has started and it’s the second day of school pickups, I arrive at a good time and see my son sitting at his desk and chatting to his friends. Every parent seems to be having a 5 min convo with the teacher, i get it everyone wants to know how their kid is doing. Anyways it’s been like 20 mins of standing in this pick up line and my kid spots me and tries to leave, the teaching assistant grabs him and they’re practically wrestling and my son is saying mummy help me and let me go. I cut to the front, get my son together and tell the teacher that pick up is not a time for conversations and people have work to get back to and parents should make appointments, the head of year came over and agreed with me and apologised. Later we got a email saying there’s not going to be progress reports at pick up. Then another mum messaged me and basically said great going and this is my fault. AITA? Edit: we live in England so yes unless you get to the front of the queue they withhold your child.
