Has anyone gone no or low contact over a pet dispute? Help!

[BeBreezyPlum]

DP's neice claims her pet is better than DD's because it uses a litter tray. It sounds silly but DD is truly upset (she loves her pet greatly) and it has all escalated. At this point I can't see any option but going NC. AIBU?

😂😂😂😂

Get a grip

My pets are the best pets in the whole world, but I’m humble about their superiority, so nobody needs to go nc with me.

Teach your daughter humility, OP.

Oh don’t bring Him into it, we’ll be here all day

Why have you not taught your DD how to teach her pet how to use a litter tray?

You are the one being unreasonable here for failing your DD.

It’s probably the MILs fault somehow too.
But definitely not her dad’s fault in any way.

She sounds ND.
Perhaps get her tested for everything and use that as her excuse.

And yet here I am

Excellent.

Any chance you can explain what you're on about then?

Going no contact with your DP's niece over shit in a litter tray? 🤣

Sorry, I was extremely angry when I posted but I guess I should give some back story.

My mom raised me to be respectful and tolerant of others - faith, creed, opinion, pet. Everything.

My SiL is not of that view. Everything is a competition. She once started an argument in which she claimed "pure" Lutheranism was a "better" faith than Zoroasttianism. We are part Parsee on my Mom's side so this was deeply offensive to us.

Another time she told me that crochet was anaesthetic and dumb when she knows my Aunt is an international crochet player. (Or croquet?!??)

She has raised DP's neice in the same way.

So I know this isn't a competition. But the other side don't.

To make matters worse my DP is siding with his sister and has said DD is being - literally - a 'silly newt fancier'.

I'm really at a loss and now my relationship is at risk too.

Looking for genuine advice from others in the same position.

In the slim chance that this is real, then it is your DD who is being competitive and silly by wanting to go NC.

Just teach DD to be resilient and how this is a silly thing to be in competition over.

Give your DD some phrases to use when her cousin says things like this.

“Genuine advice” 😂

Tell your daughter to get over herself, there is always going to be someone who is better, smarter, has something better than her, that’s just life. She should just shrug, laugh it off and change the subject

😂😂

Fuck that. How old is the OP? She needs to grow up ffs

This thread needs deleting. When things are as serious as this, if Trump gets sight of it, there's a legitimate chance he might start bombing Pets At Home.

I suspect this is not true.
But if it is it's complete nonsense. Just tell the girls to stop biting silly and move on!

It’s rabbits isn’t it

In which case everyone sucks here. Rabbits. Ugh. With their horrid claws and rabbity teeth. Shudder.

You’re joking right?

I know this is probably a joke thread but I honestly think there’s a percent of people who go nc because they don’t know that people can agree to disagree, ignore disputes and just work around them/ compromise etc. especially now weirdly, people are like ‘if you think I’m wrong we’re done!’ No wonder everyone’s so bad tempered now!!!

I thought this was a rage baiting/joke post until I searched your user name and saw this wasn’t your first post. So unless you’ve really
put in the effort of posting for months to look authentic this actually is real 😳

You sound deluded, self involved and utterly batshit and it sounds like you’re passing on all of your traits to your own daughter too.

You need to take a long hard look in the mirror and realise what mind of person you are and get some therapy to try and fix that otherwise your daughter is going to grow up just like you and be entitled and insufferable as well.

It sounds like your DP has seen you for who you truly are and is now seeing it in your daughter.

I'll doubt you'll get any advise from people in the same position, because this is so batshit that no one else will be in this position.

A silly newt fancier- looking for people in the same position. Well done OP very amusing. 😂😂😂

This has got to be a wind up 😆

Oh and obviously my pet is the best pet ever 😆

(Have to say I've never fallen out with other people who say their pet is the best ever! 😉)

I'd be really bloody impressed if she's litter trained a newt.

To misquote Purche slightly
Everyone thinks they have the best pet. And none of them are wrong

Going NC is too restrained IMO. Send your DP round to barbecue said pet. That will settle the issue once and for all.

I think your only option is divorce, then go into complete hiding with your daughter and her mystery pet. As a fellow internationally famous crochet player, trust me, I know exactly what I'm talking about.
