    Font - So my family and I have been planning a trip to a cabin in the woods for months. My sister-in-law, who is very close with my family, recently informed us that she wants to bring her dog along for the trip. I was immediately against this idea as I am highly allergic to dogs and the cabin is not pet-friendly.

    Font - When I expressed my concerns to my sister-in-law, she became very upset and accused me of being selfish and not caring about her feelings. She said that her dog is like a child to her and she can't imagine going on vacation without him.

    Font - I told my sister-in-law that she can either leave her dog at home or find another vacation spot that is more accommodating to dogs. I know this has caused some tension between us, but I don't think I'm in the wrong here. AITA?

I'm gonna get downvoted to hell for saying this, but people who act as though their pets are their children are so incredibly annoying. Your pet will be fine without you for a few days. Your sister-in-law can either find a dog-sitter or not come on the trip. She's the one being selfish by insisting she bring her dog, when she knows that you're allergic.

    Font - One-Confidence-6858 10 days ago Partassipant [4] I love my dog and upvoted you. We are currently trying to plan a dog friendly vacation, she's getting older and has serious anxiety issues. I understand that it's 100% on me to plan accordingly for her not just spring it on everyone that she's going. I'm also aware that I'll have to miss out on a few activities that she can't participate in.

I responded, "No, I'm just his very good friend". I've had kids, dogs and cats, and one is not like the other.

The fact of the matter is you're not caring about my health because I'm highly allergic. In addition, you're also not taking into account that pets aren't allowed at the cabin. So, you would rather risk my health and the entire families' vacation?"
