Cheers to this week's "Am I The A$$hole?" family drama! The original poster (OP) tells all about his sister who got pregnant with a deadbeat dude on purpose, even though she's still in school and doesn't have the financial means of supporting a baby. Even though her baby daddy told her he would support the baby, he already had kids with two other women who he failed to financially support. Nonetheless, she still had a baby with him. When she saw that he couldn't pull through on his promise, she demanded that her brother help her out financially. He said that it was her choice to have the baby, and therefore she has to live with the consequences. Most Redditors decided that he wasn't in the wrong, but what do you think?

In this week's "Am I The A$$hole?" family drama, two sisters are at each other's necks due to their different parenting methods when it comes to schooling their children. In the thread, the original poster shares how her sister decided to homeschool her kids because she had a terrible time in school as someone with undiagnosed ADHD. While OP agreed that homeschooling sounds great in theory, she claimed that her sister hasn't been properly educating her children at all. Apparently, all the kids do all day is roam around, watch TV, or play on their computers and iPad. When she tried to convince OP to do the same with her kids, OP said there was no way in hell, which deeply offended her sister. In my opinion, your sister is one of the only people in the world who can be real with you, therefore OP was definitely not in the wrong here. What do you guys think?

Another week on Reddit's infamous "Am I The A$$hole?" subreddit calls for another family drama thread. In this week's episode of family drama, OP tells us about her husband's big family who expects them to host meals all the time. Because the family is old-fashioned, they expect all the responsibility to fall on the wife. When OP and her husband suggested the regular dinners switch to a potluck with everyone contributing, the rest of the family was not having it, so the couple finally said they wouldn't be hosting anymore if they didn't switch to a potluck. Scroll down for all the juicy details of this one, ladies and gents.
We love going into the AskMen subreddit from time to time to see WTF going on through guys' heads. This week, a man posted about how close he was to throwing arms with a guy at a bar who crossed one too many lines with his girlfriend. A creepy guy at the bar grabbed his bicep while the OP was trying to protect his girlfriend, and while OP debated fighting back, his GF ultimately convinced him to leave the bar in peace. Phew. OP had me in the first half, not gonna lie. After this close call, OP had a question for his fellow-men - when is it okay to rest the violence? Is violence ever the answer depending on the situation? Scroll down to see what these dudes had to say.
Reddit's "Am I The A$$hole?" subreddit is known for some pretty crazy family drama, but this particular thread is a tough one to swallow.

Scroll down for all the messed-up details behind what drives this messed-up family.
It's such a blessing to be able to lean on your family members from time to time. Sometimes you'll need an extra hand while moving apartments, someone to water your plants while you're on vacation, and then of course a babysitter for the times you're in a pinch and can't find anyone else. These are all totally normal requests, but they're favors, and should definitely not be taken for granted. If you expect your sister to babysit for free, maybe wait for a time when your fully capable husband isn't already at home.
Reddit's infamous "Am I The A$$hole?" subreddit is always rife with drama at weddings and within families. A fresh thread we recently uncovered seems to have all the ingredients necessary for one juicy story. In this one, we've got overbearing parents trying to gain full control over the entire wedding, the bride-to-be who is blindly listening to everything they say, and her beyond pissed off and fed up fiance who wants nothing to do with their shenanigans. His future mother-in-law literally had the audacity to demand he change his best man of choice because she wasn't a fan. If that's not majorly overstepping her boundaries, we don't know what is. She went on to book a venue without asking either the bride or groom for confirmation. When we said this one was full of drama, we weren't kidding. Scroll down for more juicy details, and make your call on who the a$$hole in this situation is.
Knowing multiple languages is useful for a multitude of reasons. It can help you get into college, opens you up to more opportunities, and it allows you to catch people in the act when they're talking sh*t about you. It's amazing how quickly people assume, based solely on how somebody looks, whether they can speak a certain language. It's incredibly embarrassing for them, but they deserve to be called tf out.
It can be really difficult to have food limitations.A lot of people struggle with them every day for various health reasons. People are gluten-intolerant, vegetarian, nut-free, lactose-intolerant, etc etc. When it's something you live with, you usually develop ways to ensure that there will be a food option for you wherever you go, since you can't really expect everyone to automatically be aware of and accommodate for your individual restrictions, especially if they're not life or death. However, some people forget that they're not the main character, and expect others to constantly bend over backward for them...
Mothers-In-Law aren't always a handful, but when you look at the 'Am I The A-Hole' community page on Reddit, it can really seem that way. It is true on some level that they will always put their own child's needs first, considering they are blood, but that doesn't mean they have to be completely awful to their child's spouse. We wonder how many in-laws are the entire reason that some couples don't make it because their snide comments and lack of boundaries can sure do a lot of damage.
Money isn't always a sensitive topic. People who have a lot of it don't tend to get triggered when wages begin to be discussed. However, if you've ever lived paycheck to paycheck you know the anxiety that immediately follows the mentioning of finances. It's so easy to hide as well, money struggles. There are a million excuses to get out of some kind of event you can't pay for, especially during this past year. But if you love someone, and they live a more luxurious life, sometimes you pretend to have a little more than you actually do because, well, you're in love and you want to spend time with them... The only thing is that if they've always been wealthy, they may not always understand that kind of sacrifice.
People who don't have the best of relationships with their families tend to be very suspicious of people who do. We all base our judgments on our past experiences, so it's natural to think this way. But once we start projecting our own issues on other people... well it's simply not a cute look. Everybody has their own definition of family, and who they choose to include in it is entirely up to them, and not their new girlfriend.
Most brides dream about being the center of attention on their wedding day and want to be the show stopper of the whole event. And most people know that they should never look more extravagant than the bride not to steal her thunder. But what happens when the bride doesn't make much of an effort, and the guests do? The guests end up looking nicer than the bride, which throws the whole balance off. One woman was in that exact situation at her cousin's wedding and got accused of upstaging the bride by her family, and she took to Reddit's Am I The A-hole to ask if she was in the wrong. Redditors jumped to her defense, telling her that it's not her fault the bride chose an understated look and that she should dress as fabulously as she wanted. Here's her story.
Think about the reasons you apply sunscreen. We're sure preventing early aging and skin cancer is high on your list of reasons. Is trying not to look like races other than white another reason on your list? Yeah, we didn't think so. In today's episode of the infamous "Am I the A$$hole?" subreddit, the original poster told fellow Redditors about how her friend accused her of being racist for applying sunscreen regularly. Apparently, the friend was convinced that OP put on sunscreen in order to prevent getting as tan as races that aren't white. Excuse me, what?! Confusion significantly intensified for us.

In this week's episode, the original poster started a thread calling his sister-in-law out for being racist. He's a chef at a high-end Chinese restaurant.
