This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read. My kids have allergies get rid of your pets! You can go to her house or meet in a park. You definitely need to put her in her place. Immediately.

Pets love you unconditionally. Are drama free and don’t ask for much. Some family members are crazy, are inconsiderate and ask for money.
Keep the pets. Let the crazies control their own home. Not yours.

She’s wrong. So incredibly wrong and her self entitledness is showing. She sounds toxic and like she thinks the sun shines out of her ass. I’d cut her out on my own. Sucks the kids won’t see each other but you nor your kids need the BS.

Lmfao um someone needs to put that sis in law in her dang place. Nah. Sis in law is wrong, hunny.
My cousin is super allergic to cats. My other cousin is allergic to dog dander. Do I get rid of my pets so they’ll visit? Absolutely not.
I have furniture with no cloth on it, I have outdoor patio furniture, there are ways to get around my pets. And they visit us just fine.
She’s just making excuses.
You just have to actually put some effort in. The real problem, here, is your sis in law is lazy AF.

I’m an allergy sufferer to cats & dogs but I’ve never let it stop me from allowing my kids having pets. In fact we have two cats currently. I take Zyrtec daily. Plus I’m allergic to a lot of other things so I’m also on allergy shots. So have the niece take Zyrtec before visiting family or friends with cats. Her mom has no right asking or cutting family out of her live over an allergen!!

Keep you cat . I am severely allergic to cat and i would never ask someone to give ther cat away its a family member its all that there is to know . I can’t go to some place for too long but for a few minute or hours is ok and they know it but i cant stay for a day otherwise im really sick asthma and severe allergic reaction . Cat for them is there life and i know it and its ok this way . Keep your cat if they are not happy with it then they dont enderstand your family and dont deserve your friendship .
Keep your pets. My niece and sister in law are allergic to cats. They still come over but o keep my house very clean and keep up on the hair. At times she needs to take a Benadryl if she pets them. They can choose not to come over. Simple. That’s what we do and then we have outdoor events etc to decrease exposure. Keep that kitty for your kids! I would never make my daughter get rid of her cat

How about you visit them and leave your pets at home Or go on outings together allergies are vary hard on children and a allergist will say stay away from triggers so she’s probably just following Dr. advice 
I’d want proof of allergy, but the cat would stay no matter

Coming from a mom who has a son who used to have severe reactions to Dogs…
Keep your freaking CAT MAMA!
I NEVER asked anyone to get rid of a pet bc my son could have a reaction.
My MIL had her dogs for YEARS before my son was thought of! When we realized he had allergies to pets we didn’t do a bunch of over night stays, but when we went we knew how to medicate him an he knew to try an stay away from the cute doggies!
As a mom of an allergy sufferer… i couldn’t dare ask someone something like that.
Hes since out grown his allergies to animals… as typically MOST do…
Keep your cat your kids deserve to have the love an responsibility of a pet. Regardless of who it bothers or not!!
Tell her ok, I guess I’ll see you at holidays or family functions that are not held at my house.
I have a Chihuahua I’ve had for 8.5yrs and there’s no way I would or could ever get rid of him, we have a cat, she’s an outside cat bc we have allergies to her and she keeps the little pesty animals away, and my 6.5yo daughter has an almost 4m old baby guinea pig, she would be devastated if I had to get rid of him, if ppl wanna use the excuse that the animals are the reason they don’t wanna come over, let em’, I couldn’t do it…

They’re heavily in the wrong and there are ways to be around the family without being around your cat, I understand if it really is a cat allergy but she cant expect yall to change your lives for her benefit when she doesnt live with you
Shes just a " sister in law" they don’t count!

Throw the sister in law in the bin and get another cat 
She is sooooo wrong. Your house, your decision. Go visit them instead and if she can’t accept that oh well.
Playing devils advocate I don’t go round peoples houses if they own dogs, I’m terribly allergic and end up in ED most times on a nebuliser. Still don’t think she should get rid of the cats but maybe agree to meet at the sister in laws on house or out in public
I’m allergic to cats I just don’t visit ppl with them. I wouldn’t expect anyone to get rid of their pet! I wouldn’t take kindly to someone telling time to get rid of my dogs.

No your not in the wrong. I’m allergic to cats but I wouldn’t demand or ask my family to get rid of their pets I just don’t go to any house who do have cats. but still will do dinners out or take the kids to the park so they can spend time with family so there is other ways to still spend time.

My feelings about this
Is — our pets are also members of our families . It would seem a much better solution to this could be worked out. Maybe your sister is making an excuse to not visit family members. If the child has allergy problems she might need tests to see if she is allergic to other things . Allergies are fairly easy to treat and if it severe allergy (like life threatning )she should seek treatment. And sometimes these allergies do go away.

Keep your pets. A great way to keep the sis away! . For her to even ask or demand you do so is pure selfishness. You’re not losing much. Fur babies will bring you much more happiness than her visits ever would. Maybe add two more

Keep your pet he is partnof your family and it would traumatize your children if you got rid of it. I believe your sister in law is looking for a reason to cut people out otherwise she could give her child allergy medication that works wonders.

How dare she even suggest that. Sounds very self centered. Have her visit on nice days that can be outside. If she doesn’t want to do that, I think she is looking for an excuse to break away from the family anyway. If someone told
me that, I’d say sorry you won’t be visiting us anymore. We’ll miss you!

This sounds more like they are trying to control you. I’m allergic to cats and my mama has two of them. It is very hard for me to go to her house. I either suck it up or have her come to my house or we just meet up for outings. I would never ever tell her she has to get rid of her cats, who are her companions. That’s not fair of your sister n Law to ask you to get rid of your pets. However Is your sister-in-law coming to visit on occasion more important than your pets? Are you OK if your sister-in-law doesn’t come over? Can you have outside gathering versus her having to come inside? Just seems a little extreme for her to ask you to get rid of your pets.

You have every right to keep your pet’s and that was rude of her to behave like that, there are other ways she could have expressed herself. She could have said next time we can meet at my place.
Keep your pets! They are family. Your sister-in-law needs to be a parent who seeks a doctor’ professional opinion for what is exactly what is causing her daughter’s rashes. Make an appointment. Follow up on tests. But YOU should keep your household intact and happy 
Keep your pets!!! Have the ones who are allergic take benadryl or allergy medicine. I be damned a family member makes me get rid of a family pet when they don’t even live in your house!!

We have 2 cats and we lock them in the laundry when our best friends come over as they are allergic. When they come, they take a precaution zertek or whatever it is called.
This is a good compromise as we don’t want them to have a reaction but love our fur babies.
Perhaps suggest this or if they insist still have a relationship but outside your home.
It seems a bit much to threaten full cut off from family
Keep the fur babies. It’s not like they came to visit often. And the love…therapy and security those fur babies give back is priceless and it’s not as if they can’t take allergy medicine before coming over.

Ya my cat was here first. My husband doesn’t like cats they sometimes get along now but she’s not going anywhere. I will put my cat in another room if someone is allergic to her Cuz she is very friendly and I don’t want to cause someone problems. She can handle being in a room alone for a bit. I ask if someone is ok with her when they come over Cuz she can be to much sometimes with getting in ur face being nosey. She actually jumped on my nurses back when she bent down to get something. She had been nosey and trying to get her to pick her up and she didn’t so she took it upon herself to get as close as possible.

My fur baby is very important to me, he loves me unconditionly, sounds like the sister in law puts conditions on her love. Suggest you could meet somewhere once in a while and go out to eat together, or meet at her house, if she says NO, I’d say “sorry you feel that way, been nice knowing you” (You said she was an in law, so how does the actual brother feel")

They are. You have your own family and home. If you’re relatives don’t want to come over because of your pets tell them that’s okay. Because in my opinion animals are part of your family if someone doesn’t like them they don’t have to be around your family.
My ex hubby told me to get rid of my cat and he was getting rid of his dog, because my daughter could have possibly been allergic. I told him nope my cat is apart of the family and she is staying. Of course this after I catnapped her.
They are, if/when they come over take allergy medicine
