Dear Amy: We are starting to have trouble with family members who are dog-lovers.
This Christmas we were asked to host the family gathering.
Some insisted that we should confine our cats to a bedroom so that these family members could bring their dogs inside.One dog always jumps up on people, and we have disabled and elderly members of the family who can’t withstand having a larger dog jump up on them. I’m sorry that it is difficult for us to accommodate them, but owning a dog is their choice and comes with responsibility that perhaps they may have to find a pet sitter for one or two days if the place they are traveling to cannot accommodate their animals.I arrange for pet care for our cats when we are out of town, and don’t force them on other family members. I ask for the same consideration in return.
I have no desire to have her along, and find it presumptuous of her to invite herself, but now I’m the jerk because I said NO quite sharply at Christmas.I said no — it was intended for our family, not including her.– Scolded SisterYou are not “wrong” to feel the way you feel, but – from your own account, you reacted and behaved badly. Are you proud of your own actions on Christmas Day?
