See ya by. Don’t let the door hit you were the good Lord split ya. Sorry I had to say it. She needs to make sure that’s what is causing her allergies.
This may not be the right analogy, there might be something to it, I dunno. I just wanna say it, LOL: If you have to tell your teen daughter not to wear her booty shorts when Uncle Randy come over, maybe it’s time to tell Randy not to come over.
Give the child some benadryl!
Tell them they are welcome come when they please we are at home and so is the children’s cat I love you but I love my children more
Oh damn. Can’t visit
Tell them bye Felicia
How selfish of her to even ask! My son has allergies to dogs and cats and he just takes antihistamines at relatives or friends houses whom have pets.
Pets are as much apart of your family as humans!
Your house, your rules. Tell adios!
Tell them to buzz off. Pets are family too. Their loss.
Keep the cats, get rid of her!!!
Im allergic to cats as well. And I remember when I was younger I’d take about 3 Benadryl every time I would go over to a family members or friends house that had cats just because I wanted to be around said people. I couldn’t imagine cutting loved ones off for something so silly.
Theres nothing wrong with them giving the heads up they’re coming over and you can clean up before they get there and keep your cat in a different room while they visit. Dont get rid of them.
my fam and his would complain about dog hair or tell us we have to lock up our pets before they come over. Excuse me! My pets live here. You don’t. If you don’t like it, then don’t come by. That simple. You don’t want to come by but see the kids, then let them go over to their place or meet up somewhere. But I’m not bending to your will because of MY pets. No siry bob
It’s very simple your home your rules nobody has a right to come in and tell you what you can and cannot do in your own home tell your sister-in-law we will miss you!
Your house, do what you want!
Wow…smile and say. “We will miss you, but we understand that You need to do what’s best for your family”
All gatherings could
Now be at their home ! Problem
Solved
Have her take allergy meds and she’ll be fine. If she doesn’t agree, she doesn’t have to come over.
Keep your pets! there’s a reason we all have our own houses! it’s not fair for you to accommodate other people’s needs in hour own home.
They are. She needs to get over herself. Their allergies are not your problem.
No way ur house ur way and pets are family to, say bye bye
Sorry sis… u can stay home
Honestly you can put the cats away in hour room & vaccum before your niece comes over if she was allergic
I would offer to put my pet up while she’s visiting but to get rid of pets for a person who doesn’t even live in your home where YOU pay bills and very rarely visits, heck no. Not to mention your pets you surrender during covid will more and likely be euthanized. Pets over in laws or anyone for that matter, any day. #thatsjustMe
Then she doesn’t come over. Especially an in law? Nah fuck that bitch. Tell her to stay away. I wish an in law would tell me something like that. A fist in the mouth will also do the trick. If you get rid of pets over that hopefully that husband gets rid of you too! Geez pets aren’t trash you get rid of
Sounds like the sister in-law has to go. It probably is a cat allergy, but she’s being crazy
Keep the cat! She has no right to determine your life
Oh NO NO NO !!! She is terribly wrong that is a mean selfish heartless person she needs a reality check if she wants to stay away then fine there are ways to handle it without being rude and selfish if you have a good relationship with her then suggest ways to handle it I’m sorry you have to deal with such a thing good luck
My nephews face stole up twice cause we let our cat inside when she had her kittens. I kept the cat but she’s back outside in the garage. Im not gonna put my nephew at risk or make them feel like I don’t care if he gets to come over. I’d get rid of it if I have to I lovevmy nephews
Has she had an allergy test done to make sure it was from the cats? If she had the test done proving it was an allergic reaction to the cat than I would try to find healthy ways to accommodate. If possible allow the cat outside or try to reduce the dander in some way. Or rehoming If neccesary I love all of my animals but my kids, nieces and nephews matter to me as well. I wouldnt just do it because she wanted me to but if the health of a child is at risk I would try to figure it out.
Bye sister in law! I would not get rid of any of my pets!
My own daughter has allergies to cats…she just takes an allergy med and loves up our kitty… although it isn’t allowed in her room but the rest of the house yes…pets are family too
Meet somewhere else!!
Get rid of the sister in law. Pets are family
Yea don’t be bothered you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life aha
If it was me. Then I would say don’t come over.
Is this a real question? Lol. Who the fuck lets anyone else determine what goes on in their house? If this is real, well fuck her. Wth.
Your pets , your family
U can also make arrangements to meet at a park etc
Love your pets
I would not get rid of my pets. You can meet in a neutral location or their house
Easy. She doesn’t come over. How dare you dictate how someone should live their life and with who
Keep your pet. She needs to just deal with it or have the family gatherings at her house.
No they’re not going to come over that much anyway ! Keep your pets
She can fuck right off with that
A real family member wouldn’t even say that, to me she sound a bit controlling telling you to get rid of the cat or her and the rest of the family will cut you off, in my opinion it would be bye bye sister in law, there was nothing stopping her saying look we can’t come to yours anymore until we find out for sure it’s a cat allergy but you can come to ours.
Wow…sounds like a peaceful time for you ! Your pets are your family … you can make “accomodations” for her but don’t ditch your pet because she wants to make you choose.
She hasn’t a clue without having her child undergo allergy testing.
She sounds manipulative to me by threatening cut everyone off and if she does it’s her choice and loss.
Pets are more loyal than “some” people. Keep the pets!!
Bye sis!! You can always just go to their house instead. I’d never get rid of a pet for anyone outside my home!! Beside who made her Queen of the family???
Boo let her cut the family off then. What a nut.
Pets stay… They are immediate family sooo I suppose bye sister in law
Let her go as she has no right to give you those options. It will be her loss in the end.
Her childs allergies are not your responsibility or fault. Keep the cats and run your home the way YOU want.
Your sister has no right to dictate your life. She does have the right not to visit you at your house if she feels that is not healthy for her child. The easiest solution is you visit at her house or another area where there isn’t cats or pets. I breed cats and with certain friends, they can’t come over. But never has anyone had any kind of reaction when I visit them. Never.
Keep your family member pet
It’s your home do what you want!
It sounds like a sister-in- law allergy
I have a pet allergy an it sucks lol
But if I know im visiting a friend who has one inside I take an antihistamine before I go.
Im not heartless we have a hypo-allergenic pup an hes our fur baby!
Although there was this one friend whos pet aggravated my allergies to no end, so I didn’t visit her at home.
She got it, it wasn’t mean its just life…
Don’t break up your family because of someone that doesn’t live with you doesn’t like something, it won’t change how much they visit you, They just want to control everyone. Bless your family and the kitty.
Obviously you aren’t very important to her so I would tell her it was nice knowing you
I’d tell your Sis in law that you’ll see her at Holidays. Have HER rent a pet free hall and do family stuff there. Problem solved.
Sounds like holiday family gatherings need to be at sis in laws house then lol. But seriously they can test the child to see what exactly she’s allergic too. If it is cats then make an effort to go to her to visit. I wouldn’t get rid of my animals.
No one visits my house, I love my pets; they don’t give me altimatums
Tell her your pets mean more and good by for ever.
Supply them with allergy meds or just meet them at central location.
I would never get rid of my pet for someone who may visit me 1 or 2 times in as many years.
I have lived here where I live for 35 years and I have had family visit less than 10 times all combined…parents , siblings and/ cousins, aunts…
I have a very large family
A lot of people don’t visit us bc we have animals… their loss!!! They don’t pay our bills or live here… see ya
It’s your pet!! You don’t even have to ask that question!! She don’t like it then I guess she don’t come over!
Do not be intimidated by your sister-in-law! Keep your pets. This may only be a small part of her reasoning. I smell an ulterior motive.
Don’t let them bully you. If they won’t come to any one’s home disown every one, she’s gonna be a lonely old lady!
Say bye bye to the sister in law. Suggest the kid take allergy meds befor visiting if they are worried. But looks like you are dodging an unpleasant person by keeping a beloved pet
Noone has the right to tell you to get rid of your pets. If there is an allergy issue, then either those people don’t come to your house, or id they do come over, they stay outside. I am allergic to cats, and I have 4. I just take allergy pills every day.
My two year old has allergies. One of them is to cats and dogs. We have two cats that I have had for 15 years. I took my son to allergist and he said as long as they stay out of his room, and he doesn’t rub all over them, it should be fine. My son actually never breaks out from the cats anymore and allergist said he built up immunity. Now our mothers have dogs. And he had a severe reaction one time. (Even after he saw these dogs in the past) I think it was because he was rubbing his face on the dog. Anyway, the doctor didn’t tell us to stay away. Rather, he gave us meds to take an hour before we see them. Now allergies can have different levels, but she needs to follow up with allergist before she asks something so extreme. I would have been devastated if I had to get rid of my cats. (I would have, but been devastated) I would NEVER have asked my parents to get rid of their dogs. I would have just met them in different places. It’s an extreme and in my opinion, unreasonable ask.
I would tell her she don’t have to come over then. Sounds likes she should give her child something for her allergies.
Maybe she could just take some Benadryl before visiting…my bonus daughter in law and my friend do this… all goes great. But I also respect their needs and expect my cat to give them distance as well as not rub on them nor other house guests. My friend also suggest to please not vacuum right before she comes to visit-if the visit is pre-planned…
Lol…I didn’t even give my cats away for my husband -had them before he found me!! Haha
Keep your cat!!
Don’t give your children’s pet away-how devastating for your children!
Tell the sister in law. Good bye! Don,t let the door hit your ass on the way out. Pets are part of your family.
Sorry the world doesn’t revolve around one person. If the mom knows the triggers she can keep her daughter away from them to a certain extent but the rest of the world gets to carry on to meet their own needs.
Kick your sister in law to the curb… Also remind her there are cats everywhere… So her daughter better not play outside anymore… Down right ridiculous, she needs to learn how to live not hide. Allergists are amazing, they can help
I would never get rid of a pet. They are family too.if she’s so concerned and sure it is the cat. Maybe she should have the child checked to see. She can’t make someone get rid of their pets. Thats just selfish of her.
Tell them your house your pet your family they do not make the rules.
Keep your cats. It sounds like they’re looking for excuses to not have to interact with family.
2 visits in 2 years vs a lifetime of love and memories? I’m sticking with the cat.
I would absolutely not get rid of my animals due to anyone. Shit if I became allergic I would find a way to be around my cats somehow. She’s been to your house all of two times doesnt sound like you’re losing much. You can spend time with her and your niece at families or their house. If not sounds like you need to have a conversation with your brother.
Keep your cat. Can you imagine how heartbroken your kids will be!!! She’s asking to much. Give the kid allergy meds.
I was allergic to cats when I was younger my parents didn’t get rid of are cats instead I went through allergy shots every week we had family members who had pets there’s no need to the man getting rid of pets just because you’re allergic if it’s that bad do your allergy testing figure out what it is do your allergy shots they’ll be fine or if it’s severe such as life threatening then plan other outings where they’re not coming over to your house you’re going to their house or you’re meeting them somewhere your pets are every bit family as they are you wouldn’t get rid of your kids because somebody didn’t agree with you then why get rid of your pets
Tell your sister in law to take her child to an allergy specialist and have the child tested. Seeing as she has only been to your house twice, who knows what the child is allergic to. It could be something in her very own home.
My daughter has horrible animal allergies. She takes allergy meds when she wants to be around friends and family with animals.
I have severe pet allergies and I would never ask my family to get rid of pets - outside visits always work
Had a friend demand we put our mini doxies outside or they wouldn’t come over. Her 3yo daughter had waved her hands while doing flicking motions in the dogs face and scared it, so it backed away and started barking. She screamed and the dad ran and started checking her for bites, even though I told them what happened and that she was fine.
Told them they needed to teach her how to act around animals before she did that to a truly aggressive dog.
Never invited them over again.
Then go to her house. NO single person I know or am related to would not even think about demanding I get rid of my dogs. They are my family. That is just rude and selfish. … and once you do, she will complain about there still being cat hair in the house that bothers her. That appalled me reading that you are actually considering this.
As a child I could not go to any relatives homes that had animals. My parents would NEVER be so rude and bold to even fathom that request. So they would come to ours. That is what real family does. F* her. This is YOUR house. Why are you even considering this.
Wow…im allergic to cats, but i would never expect anyone to get rid of them for me! I just limit my visit there and take allergy medicine before i go visit.
I would not get rid of my cat - I have allergies to cats my brother has them in his home I just don’t pet it but would never tell him to choose between us or the pets.
Your family enjoys the pet every day and she is there once a year? Keep the pet, meet her at a restaurant or other area that she is comfortable.
You said it your pets “are a member of the family” and you dont get rid of family.
I think they are wrong for even asking such a thing. U don’t have to cut off people entirely u could schedule times to meet outside if it’s that concerning to them. Sounds like like are
Controlling. Prob better off without them!
Take an allergy pill before going over.
Keep the pets for the children. Meds are available for allergies.
Leave your kitty be she’s part of your family. Once in a while visitors pop a zyrtec or clartin. Liz is 100% correct.
My husband and our daughter are allergic we still have 2 cats
Keep your pets they can take meds for their kids if they really want to come over and visit keep your pets
I would say invite them over on warm days and have an outdoor dinner and visit
Theyve visited twice in 2 years… ridiculous to suggest you get rid of your cat… totally ridiculous…!!! Insane to say they will cut you off if you dont… cut ties then and enjoy your pets - much better and rewarding company
That is ridiculous your world or anyone else’s don’t revolve around her antihistamine up the kid and love your family
