SIL invites grieving sister over after cat passes, says it's for comfort but just wanted free childcare: 'I just stood up and left'

Losing a pet is a specific kind of heartbreak that really guts you. When my dog passed away, I ended up sleeping on the couch for months. It wasnt intentional, or so I thought, but I did it because I couldn't bear to sleep in my bed, where she used to curl up under the covers with me. I didn't even fully realize I was doing it until much later. Grief will do weird things to you like that. And if you had a pet growing up, it hits even harder. They're not just animals; they're your companions, your emotional support, and part of your daily routine. Their absence feels enormous.

That's why this story made so many people angry. After losing her beloved cat, this woman was completely shattered. So when her sister-in-law invited her over, she thought it was to offer comfort and a safe space to grieve. Instead, it quickly became clear that she was really just there for free childcare.
