His sister refused

It is generally the right thing to help your siblings if you need something, but only if it goes in both directions.

What would you do if her sister refused to watch her dog for no reason, but now she asks her to watch her children?

That is the situation in which the brother is in this story. Let's see how the story unfolds.

I (35 m) have a dog.

She is an old girl (now she is 12, but she was a rescue so that we don't know exactly) and very cute.

I've had it for a decade. She behaved really well – she has no furniture, she doesn't bother anyone.

She is old and tired and just wants to hang around in her place, eat her food, take her walks and get her pets. It is practically a piece of furniture, but one that has to be fed and run.

Sounds like a great dog.

It is probably at her age, but she is like that for a while. Even when she was younger, she wasn't super energetic.

To say all of this – she needs some work, but it is not a threat or has behaved badly in any way.

In the past, when I went out of the city, my father passed and took care of her. He loved her and it was a really great arrangement for everyone involved.

He lost his two parents.

My father died 3 years ago and died since my mother a few years earlier, it left me and my sister (43f) alone – more than her because she has a family.

I had a friend at the time, but we have separated since then.

Nevertheless – a few months after my father's death, we wanted to go on vacation and I asked my sister to take care of my dog.

My father usually did it by coming by and I offered the same deal. I also offered alternatives.

She is ridiculous.

I offered her over. I offered her older child (16f, 14 at the time). I offered myself to bring my dog ​​to their place, or that they only come by twice a day to lead them and refill their food and water.

My sister refused that she had her hands fully with her house and family and her family and declined to do dogs, even when her own children asked her to let her because they really love my dog.

Nothing helped, she would not compromise and I had to send her to a pet hotel. I wasn't happy about it and it cost a pretty cent, but okay.

Nevertheless, I never completely compared her.

This time his sister wants to do a favor.

Now my sister asked me to baby because she and her husband want to go on a trip for their anniversary – it helped them with which my father (and my mother) helped them earlier.

Her elder is, as mentioned, 16 and her youngest is 8. The older girl can be left alone, but she obviously wants to help herself to take care of her son, and her daughter doesn't want to do it because it is a lot of work during an almost full week.

It wouldn't really make me out and I get along well with both children, but … she was not ready to take care of my dog ​​when I needed her. Why should I agree to take care of your children?

So, I told her no, and now she is upset. She says with our parents that we have no one to rely on, except for each other.

And I told her that this was true when I also asked for help with my dog.

It's true, it's not the same. Watching a dog is much easier.

She tells me that it is not the same because she has a household that you can take care of, and I only have myself.

I said no, I also have my dog ​​and she also needs care and she was condescending and hypocritical.

Since then she hasn't really spoken to me and there have been a few days.

Aita?

Dogs are not children, that's right, but if she doesn't want to help him, why should he help her? Apart from that, it could be a funny binding time with his niece and his nephew.

Measures, fulfilling consequences.

Yes, that's up to her.

This commentator would have done the same.

She appoints what she sews.

Yes, of course do it in an emergency.

What goes around comes around.
