Lady Gets Bashed By Boyfriend's Mom For Refusing To Give Away Her Dog To His Autistic Nephew, Redditors React

At some point, almost every parent will have their kid pleading with them to have a pet. Perhaps they have fallen in love with an animal they saw in a movie or on social media, or perhaps their friends own one.

They may simply be one of those kids who must have a dog for whatever reason, even though they are dog lovers who long for some canine companionship. However, you must consider whether adopting a dog is the appropriate decision for your family at this particular moment.

When your child begs you to let them have a puppy or kitten, it might be difficult to say no. However, having a pet is a big responsibility, so you shouldn't give it to your kids just because they keep bugging you.

Say no if you don't have the resources, time, or desire to care for a pet. Taking care of a pet takes a lot of money, effort, and attention.

There are several tacit ways to tell your child no if you don't want to get them a pet, but what happens when your kid wants another person's pet? That is what we see in today's story, but the OP refused to leave her dog behind for her boyfriend's autistic nephew.

This made her MIL say a lot about the OP being selfish and cruel, so she took to the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit community to ask if she's the AH for not giving out her dog.
