Girl Gets Criticized For Prioritize Buying Christmas Gifts Above Her Cousin's Puppy, But Reddit Sides With Her

Owning a pet can be one of the greatest experiences of your life. However, the joy of pet ownership comes with responsibilities. If you are considering taking a pet into your home, think seriously about the responsibility and commitment that it entails. Unfortunately, not everyone knows these responsibilities and knows how to be a great owner. And the woman in this post is one of them. Keep scrolling to know why this woman doesn't deserve to have a dog.
In a post on r/AmItheAsshole subreddit, a Reddit user called u/pamplonamh shared her story and asked if she was being an 'a**hole' for putting Christmas gifts above her cousin's puppy. According to the author, her cousin recently bought a pet dog. This dog needs to be spayed, so she asked her to pay for this operation, which costs 300$. However, the OP was on a tight budget because she wanted to buy Christmas presents for her family. She didn't have much money, but she still tried to give her cousin 20$ to help the dog.

However, everything didn't stop there. The cousin continued to bother the OP and said that her priorities were wrong. "She asks me about it several times a day, saying I should not value material things above a dog's life. I am an animal lover and have upped my contribution to $100 but she says I have my priorities wrong." Scroll down to find out what happened in the end!

She was upset and decided to ask Reddit for advice, "Is it wrong of me to want to put Christmas presents for my family above her dog, given her dog will at least have food from the money I am offering?"
Most people agreed that the OP was not wrong. Her cousin deserved to be chastised for taking a dog when she cannot afford the basic things for it. The dog is not the OP's responsibility.
