[quote=Anonymous]OP, can she bring something less obvious like a pillow and a sleeping bag? Assuming your sister-in-law is average clean, but that her house probably smells like the pets and the bedding probably has pet hair on it, I can see BOTH why your daughter doesn't like it and why your sister-in-law is embarrassed/hurt/insulted. I think that teaching your daughter to be sensitive to her aunt's and cousins' feelings is the kind thing to do and not all that much of a sacrifice.

FWIW, I have a niece who is very sensitive/anxious and constantly expresses her every thought and feeling about any smell or annoyance and... it is a little hard to be around, to be honest. I love my brother and sister-in-law to death but I don't understand why they don't teach her more explicitly what is appropriate to say and what really rubs people the wrong way. I am going to love my niece no matter what but I see how much it turns people off and it is not doing HER any favors to let her go through life indulging all her sensitivities while she (clearly unintentionally!) hurts people's feelings.
