Giving up quality time like going fishing with my kids so I can hang out with drunk relatives is not my cup of tea.

Sounds like I need to get a dog so I can get out of my family's stuff. I am more than happy just to be with kids and do adventures with them. Family gatherings are not really fun in my opinion.

I sense she's a little jealous. And yes maybe these are excuses to get out of events she isn't all that crazy about.

It's the same with people that over worry about their kids. I would let it go.

Apparently, OP's sister did because it was her own idea.

This will never change.


ZOMG, sorry that this happened while you were trying on wedding dresses.

I don't get the "my dog is my kid" thing - because until and unless you have children, there is absolutely no comparison, either way. If you want to go on vacation, all you have to do is put a dog in a cage when and if you please. Not so children, obviously. So yah, no comparison and y'all sound nuts.


You sound like a hick.


Omg...pp is the one that needs to be in a cage.

Dogs are great, and I say good for her. After having kids they are a TON less trouble. You can have both and value both. Honestly, my dog is better than most people and more interesting. My spouse and I comment about that all the time.

OP let it go, maybe offer to help her or ask her to bring her fur baby along.
