Today, after leaving my mom's house, I got 4 text messages from her about how I was a terrible person for not saying goodbye to my sister when I left. The "sister" she was referring to is the family dog. FML

Today, my mom confessed to loving my "little sister" more than she loves me. My "little sister" is the family dog. FML

Today, I told my mom she made me feel unloved my whole life. She called my sister and apologized. FML

Today, it seems my mom didn’t believe me when I told her multiple times I was not going to my nasty bitch sister's wedding. Then she acted surprised and outraged when, shocker, I didn’t go, and has been leaving me texts and voicemails for over an hour. FML

Today, I was sitting in my room watching TV when I heard my mother obnoxiously yelling for the dog. Minutes later she stomped into my room, swatted me over the head, and yelled at me for not answering when she called. She actually got my name mixed up with the dog's. FML

Today, my mom was in a really bad mood, so I stayed in my room to avoid her. It didn't take long before she barged in and started bitching about my dog, who'd pissed her off by acting too happy. Yes, she's actually that insane, and I have to deal with it on a daily basis. FML

Today, I heard someone calling my name. It was my neighbor. Turns out they named their dogs after my mother, my sister and me. FML

Today, I went on a run with the family dog. I returned home to three missed calls and a hysterical voicemail from my dad. Why? The dog was gone. Not me, his 15 year-old daughter, the dog. FML

Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML

Let 'em in

By sister_woes - 09/10/2010 06:36 - United States

Today, I didn't have my key, so my sister told me to call her to let me in. I called, no answer. I waited for 15 minutes and then called my dad complaining about her, still being outside. She popped her out the window and yelled, "Don't talk about me, bitch!" and wouldn't open the door. FML

Like the dog would've understood... Still though, many people attach human-level emotions to pets, me included

Oh that's something I would hate so much. Yeah sure pets can be part of the family but that's taking it too far. And why does your mom care off you day goodbye to your "siblings" if you're going out?

True but you can Skype with them. I saw it on YouTube. This guy deployed in Afghanistan was skyping with his dog. The dog recognized his voice or his likeness and was excited.

I hate when people pretend pets are children. It's very strange and a little unnerving to me. Yes, they are similar. No, they are not equivalent.

For people that can't have children, pets are their babies.

Also for people who don't want children. I call my horse my baby. Does that mean I think I birthed my horse? No, I'm just being silly.

You completely missed the point. It has nothing to do with whether you think you birthed it or not (wtf?) I'm saying animals do not equal people. I'm not saying your horse isn't your baby, I'm saying it's really ******* weird, and oh yeah, it's a ******* HORSE.

People ARE animals. Is our intelligence higher? Yes. Do we follow instincts? To a point, yes. To put humans above an animal, and refer to them like they're 'less' is sickening. Animals still require attention, care, and your time just like a child or any other human. They can love back and they're pretty ******* smart. My dog is my baby, because I don't want an actual child. He's all I need and all I want to take care of, and trust me, he's just as smart as a young child. So is my moms dog. I call her my sister too. They are a part of the family. He knows who he likes and who he doesn't like. If you treat an animal wrong, they may (or may not) love you, and they may become disobedient. Hell, my dog avoids my boyfriend because he yells at the pooch for something so trivial. People can have their opinions, and there is mine. Animals are not equals yes, but don't disregard them as anything less. I'd go on but it's already too long.

I also find it weird when people call their cat or dog their "brother" or "sister". It seems creepy to me. Yes, they're family, but I think they're family in the same way that friends are your family. They love you like a brother or sister, and are always there for you, but they're not genetically related. Even I only call my cat "my baby" because I take care of her and she's so cute. I don't act like I'm her mother.
