Brother Insists Sister Leaves Beloved Family Dog Behind If She Wants To Temporarily Stay With Him

Leona Martinez

Sometimes, an outsider's perspective can offer valuable insights that biases and personal feelings may obscure. The Redditor, despite initially hesitating to seek advice on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, eventually decided to give it a shot after witnessing its effectiveness for others.

In the post, he shared that his sister wanted to move in with him due to some house rules with their mom. But there's a hitch—a misbehaving dog she's got. The OP got worried about the dog causing chaos at home and hesitated. So he told his sister that he would agree to let her stay with his family if she didn't bring her dog to his house.

Things got emotional, with tears and a chat with the sister's husband making it even more complicated. Is it really just about choosing between family and a furry friend? Find out more about this family drama by scrolling down.
