Hi, could you post some anonymous for me? I need outside opinions. My children have a cat that they are crazy about, she’s a part of our family, and we love her. My niece had an allergy breakout, and my sister n law swears it’s due to cats. Now they expect everyone in the family to get rid of their pets, or they say they will completely cut the family off. The house we have now we have lived in for two years, and they’ve been here twice. But if we don’t get rid of our pets, they want nothing to do with us. Are they in the wrong, or am I for letting my children keep their pet?

Yeah… that is not how that works. I would not get rid of my pets for someone that doesn’t live in my house
Why would you get rid of your animal ? She been there twice in 24 months not worth it. Also okay, she got allergies prove it’s your fault … two maybe you go see her instead.

Sounds childish…has the child been tested and proved its specially cats?? I wouldn’t get rid of a pet just because someone demands it sorry not sorry. In less it bites or something major but I’d never say you have to do this

I have severe allergies to cats so my direct family chooses not to have cats but my aunts and cousins all have many cats. We still hang out and they come to my place. I just do not go to theirs cause it’s my allergy not theirs.

As a mom of a child with horrible allergies to dogs and cats , I think it’s crazy. My brother has a dog , we just don’t go there ( they come to us ) or we go in the backyard and always always bring Benadryl and give him his xyzal the night before like the allergist says. It’s not someone else’s problem my kid has issues.

So you want advice how to cut SIL out of your life?

Lol no. What type of allergic reaction? Like plenty people(myself included with 2 cats and 1 big dog) are allergic to the animal dander and benadryl beforehand covers a lot of those symptoms. That’s unreasonable for them to expect and threaten that. You COULD make an extra effort to vacuum and air out the place before they come over, if you wanted.

No one, and that includes family, gets to dictate what goes on in my house, Or try to use threats to control my home.
I don’t know about you but my dogs are family. I would never get rid of them. Please don’t get rid of your children’s fur baby. You could meet at the park for a visit.

The niece can take medicine for the allergies. That is reasonable. Being told to get rid of a loved pet is not
They’re in the wrong completely. Did they even get their kid tested to see if it is a cat allergy? And even so, they have allergy meds that can help depending on severity like benedryl. My cousin was allergic to cats and they still came over every other weekend to see us. Please don’t get rid of your pet because they’re looking for excuses to cut out family

I don’t think there’s anything wrong her saying she/her fam won’t come to your house because you have a cat… but cutting you off sounds completely absurd
Tell her to stay at home then my pets are my babys to
Sounds like a control issue she needs to realize life isnt going to revolve around her and her kids keep ur cat probably better company anyway
They make meds for that and allergy test to find the real cause without guessing… tell her “bye girl”

This should not even be a question.
She can host the family at her home, or meet in a public place, or perhaps she can have her child allergy tested.
Regardless, it’s your home and your family’s pets.
My pets are my children too. So they gotta do what they gotta do, but I’m keeping my animals
Entertain them elsewhere outside in a park
Tell her nice knowing you
The fact she would even ask this of her family is strange to me. That’s like being allergic to peanuts and calling the grocery stores to remove all nuts. Its her job to avoid this and just stay at her house. There are things she can do when her daughter will be around cats. But this is so over the top I would be like good riddance.

You need the keep the pet because 1 that’s you’re kids pet 2 they have showed up twice they will just keep doing it and 3 that’s already toxic beahaviour so why allow you’re kids to see that and later on maybe do the same things I’ve always said that to people I know.
They are crazy to tell you to get rid of the pet, that is part of your fam. Just drop her and her bs.
Pets are family too… Unless you had a savage dog that attacked your niece then no. Keep your pet
Tell her to F off… go buy 3 more cats

Get rid of the sister-in-law I had family tell me they wouldn’t come over because of some of my animals (my snakes mainly) and I just said “okay” it didn’t take long for them to change their minds and come back over anyway

Hahahahahaha well, less people that you’ll need to clean up after cuz they won’t be visiting anymore 
Just let her know you respect that she will no longer be coming to visit and that you’ll be happy to go see her instead? Don’t let her manipulate you to get rid of your pet.

I’d be telling ur sister-in-law bye bye cause my animals are not going anywhere they are family. Just have ur sister-in-law and niece meet u guys somewhere else. That’s really rude of her to even mention that… tell be telling the whole family to get more pets she can’t tell others what they can and can’t have in their homes. How does she even know it’s from the cat? Has she had the girl tested for allergies?
Keep the pet. Lose the people. Nobody needs that toxic shit in their life.
I am not a pet person and want nothing to do with pets and even I think they are being unreasonable and controlling. Let your children keep their pet.

I see her point my daughter is also allergic to cats I don’t request anyone to get rid of their cats I just won’t go over to their house. My close family members have all agreed to not have cats or get rid of the cast they did have. But she’s only been to your house twice since you’ve moved in I would not get ready your cat for her if she wants to visit meet somewhere publicly or go to her house
Adios, don’t let the door slam you on the way out.

Both my kids are allergic to cats and dogs. Simple solution for us, we don’t go to homes of those we know have them. But they’re welcome to come to our home, so long as they aren’t totally and completely covered in animal hair. Our son’s allergy is pretty severe. We don’t demand they get rid of their pets. We had to do that ourselves, when we found out what was causing our kids to get huge hives and asthma attacks:sob: tell your sister in law, bye

I say let her be childish and keep her butt at home. That would be the day that someone told me how I was gonna live my life in my own home. If she has allergies, take a damn pill. Or better yet, stay at home 
Do not I repeat DO NOT take that kitty away from your kids. That bitch is just being an entitled asshole and that kid is gonna grow up thinking the world revolves around her. Cut your losses now and say thanks but no thanks. What a psycho.

Keep the cat but visit at her home instead
There’s allergy meds for a reason. My step-mom always took allergy meds before her and my dad picked me up because she is allergic to cats. Anytime she came to my place now being an adult she takes allergy meds. It’s not that hard
She obviously has other issues besides your animals, that’s extremely toxic. Not her house!
I’d say that’s fine, don’t come over- we’ll visit at your place if that’s how you feel… also, she should maybe confirm this allergy first or her kid can take an allergy med before coming to your house if she feels the need to go to your place. If anyone threatened that to me I’d say “girl byyyye” lol. My animals are my family and no one else dictates my life also it’d break your poor children’s hearts and for what? Someone else who doesn’t live in your household and is demanding something ridiculous
Tell them to give her allergy medicine works for me and I’m allergic to cats so. Also pets are like babies that is really close to you saying get rid of your daughter then cause she’s allergic to my cats lol.
Girl naw. Let her cut y’all off. Let her be miserable by herself.

I’d say bye real fast…that’s her kid not mine and nobody dictates my home
You need a new SIL. I’d wave goodbye and say don’t let the door hit you in the ass. Why are you going to disappoint everyone else for just 1 person? Ummm no!
