AITAH for not letting my mom watch my kids after my 3yr old ran away from her?

TL;DR AITAH for refusing to leave my kids at my mom's because my 3yr old ran away from her and got picked up 1/2 mile away by the police?

This is a long one, sry. For context, my wife and I have four kids, all under 10. My mom has a disabled doughter(my teen sister) that lives with her, she requires a lot of attention. Mom has tons of other responsibilities as well.

Wife and I pay for babysitters 90% of the time we go out, but my mom sometimes gave me a hard time about this asking why we so rarely leave the kids with her. My honest reply was "You have your hands full, I feel bad asking you to do more."

A year ago, was one of the rare occasions we left the kids for a few hours. When we got back, mom looked like she had seen a ghost. She said my 3yr old ran away while she was helping disabled sister. She panicked, and looked everywhere but had not yet called 911 when a neighbor pulled in and said other neighbors had called the police, who were now down the road with a toddler, and they were looking for the child's home.

For context, mom lives in the country with a giant forest and a creek behind her property, it was also getting dark and a 50f night, if 3yr old had gone into the forest instead of down the road... I just thank God that's not what happened. *edit, I was also pretty unhappy mom hadn't called 911 faster, she told me the spot where the police picked up 3yr old, it is 1/2 mile away! So 3yr old had been gone for awhile.

Mom felt super bad, and...

AITA for not picking my parents up from the airport?

My (28F) parents (both in late 50s) were recently on a month-long vacation.
A day before they returned I called them to chat, they mentioned that they bought me a pair of shorts, and jokingly (or so I thought) said that I would have to pick them up from the airport in order to get them. I assumed that they were joking because they live 15 mins from the airport and ubers are cheap (also my parents have a lot of money), whereas I live about 40 mins from the airport, and an hour from their house; so it would take me about 2 hours to pick them up from the airport and drop them off at home.

I assumed wrong. Their flight got in at around 7:30AM on Saturday, and my dad called me as soon as they landed (I was still in my pjs at this point), asking about when I’d be there to pick them up. I explained that I assumed that they were joking, since it would be a pretty big inconvenience for me to get up at 6AM and spend 2 hours in my car on a Saturday morning just so they don’t have to uber. Not even mentioning the fact that I would be paying more for gas and tolls than they would for their uber.

Both of my parents got really mad, and tried to get me to quickly jump in my car and go pick them up, I declined as politely as I could, explaining the fact that I had a lot to get done that day as I was prepping for a home renovation.

It has now been over 3 weeks since this incident, and they are still mad at me. They’re saying that as their daughter I...

AITA saying I will not spend Father's Day with my stepfather instead of my dad?

My parents divorced 10 years ago. My mom got remarried 8 years ago. For the last 3 years I (17M) have lived with my dad and I spend one weekend a month at my mom's house. Before that it was 50/50. But regardless of the custody split I always spent Mother's Day with my mom and Father's Day with my dad. That didn't change just because she got remarried. But this year my mom is planning a special day out of my stepfather and he wants me to spend Father's Day with him/them, which includes my four half siblings. I said no. My stepfather told me I always spend Father's Day with my dad and I live with him now, and hardly ever see him and my mom, and this is a big year because it's the first year with our "completed family" and the last one before I'm finished high school and I should invest in time with my family but especially him, because I never let him in as a second dad and always treat him like he's just my mom's husband.

He went on and on about how much he wants to connect with me and to feel like I appreciate him as a fatherly presence in my life. He told me the day would be fun too so it's not like he's dragging me fishing or to sit watching paint dry. He told me I could easily celebrate both of them, just on different days, and my dad's plans are always easier to do another day but this special day out relies on certain Father's Day activities. I kept saying no. I didn't reconsider at any point.

My mom asked me to do it for just this one year. She told me it meant...

AITA for not taking my boyfriend's dislike of Spaghetti-O's seriously?

Hello! My boyfriend and I (both 35M) have been together for about five years. He's a little bit of a fussy eater, and in general I do most of not all of the cooking in our relationship.

I regularly make pasta dishes and he's completely fine with eating them - he even says that my pasta bake is his favourite food. One food which he absolutely hates is Spaghetti-O's - they're not really an important food to me so we just don't buy them.

I went and bought the groceries for the week and happened to pick up some Anelli pasta so I can make pasta bake, his favourite dish. For those who don't know, Anelli pasta is hoop-shaped like Spaghetti-O's. As soon as he saw me putting them away in the cupboard he got really annoyed at me, and asked why I bought them knowing he had an issue with Spaghetti-O's. I said it's not the same thing, it's just dried pasta with the exact same ingredients as the other shapes of pasta he eats every week.

He said he's been very clear that it's a food he won't eat, and he wants me to go out and buy a different type. I said I know he doesn't like Spaghetti-O's, but maybe if he's eating his favourite meal he won't notice them and it might help him get over his issue with them.

AITA here? I think it's a weird hill to die on and that he's overreacting

EDIT: I didn't buy the pasta with the intention of tricking him or helping him get over his dislike of them, I just saw them and thought they looked cool - I didn't make any sort of association between them and Spaghetti-O's in my head.

AITA for attending my ex's wedding?

I dont know if I am in the wrong or I am being gaslit. I (36F) attended my ex's (37m) wedding this weekend and I apparently failed a test.

My ex, Adam, and I dated in highschool, from the time we were 15 - 18, when we amicably split up to go to college in different states. Since college, we've kept in 'facebook familiar' contact, where we'd wish each other happy birthday, or congratulate each other on big milestones, but have had no other contact in the 20 or so years since then. About a year ago, I saw his engagement post on his facebook and congratulated him. A few months ago he facebook messaged me, asked how I was doing, and said he wanted to have a bit of a highschool get-together at his wedding since he was holding it in our hometown. He was inviting most of our mutual friend circle and he'd love for me to attend too. I hadnt seen most of these friends in over a decade, and I thought the idea sounded fun so I accepted the invitation.

The wedding was this past weekend....and it was incredibly normal. I attended with my husband, he got to meet all of my highschool friends and their partners and we had a great time.

Sunday morning I wake up to a slew of facebook messages from my ex's new wife about my audacity to attend the wedding and how out of all his former girlfriends, I was the only one who failed the test. She said that CLEARLY you shouldnt attend an ex's wedding unless youre still hung up on them and how I must be planning to steal her new husband away. I was shocked, but also apologized if I had been unwelcomed...
