AITA for spending my money on voting tickets instead of helping my boyfriend with his child support?

Hi, I am a 29 year old female. My boyfriend 33M, let's call him Chris, had asked me to give him 10 000 pesos (199 USD) because he's fallen short on his child support. This is not the first time it happened.

2 months ago I loaned him 15k that he hasn't paid yet. I told him I can't give the entire amount but I have 3k spare money. He thanked me for my help and promised to pay me back once he gets his finances sorted.

Today Chris found out from a friend that I spent more than 15k on voting tickets for a popularity poll. I am a diehard fan of this Korean Actor and I really wanted him to win the award. So I bought tickets, made multiple accounts and encouraged fellow fans to vote.

Chris messaged me, expressing his disappointment. He said he never expected me to be a shallow person who would spend so much money on someone who doesn't even know me. Chris shared this to our friends in Facebook chat and they all sided with him.

So, AITA? Was it wrong to spend money on someone I admire?

AITA for telling my brother that my parents are kicking him out of the house?

Hey Reddit! Had a story I wanted to share that happened this year, and I figured this would be the perfect place to share it. So first, a little backstory: My brother (23) has been living in our childhood home with his girlfriend for a few years. My parents moved out of the house years ago, and my brother and his girlfriend has been paying rent ever since, as the only two people in the house. There’s no contract, it was just a family agreement. They agreed to let my brother and his girlfriend live in the house for five years, and at the time of this happening, it had only been two. Throughout the years, my parents would force my brother and his girlfriend to pay to fix up different parts of the house as a ‘part of living there’ situation, and would have the neighbors spy on them to report back on anything my parents wouldn’t approve of.

Last year around Winter, my parents asked me to come over to discuss something. When I arrived, they told me that they were planning on kicking my brother out of the house the following Spring, and asked me to help them break the news to him when the time came. I followed up by asking them when they were planning on telling him, and they said they would tell him in Spring, just before kicking him out. They asked me not to mention it to him.

So at that point, I was faced with a dilemma. I could either ruin my relationship with my parents by telling him as soon as possible, so that he would have time to prepare for the move, or I could wait to tell him, and potentially ruin the relationship with my brother that I’ve been building over the last few years if he ever found out that I knew earlier than I said.

I ended up doing what I felt was the right thing, which was going over to his house instantly and telling them both that my parents were planning...
