<\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right \u2013 a woman\u2019s mother-in-law tried to take her puppy and pass it off as a gift for her 13-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, it didn\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n

The puppy\u2019s rightful owner, 25, took to Reddit to share the sorry tale, asking if she was in the wrong for how she handled it.<\/p>\n

She starts the story by explaining that she and her husband, 27, went to his little sister\u2019s 13th birthday and took their puppy along, so that the family could meet her. <\/p>\n

\u2018When we got there,\u2019 she wrote, \u2018everyone was super excited to see that we brought a puppy. Everyone was petting her and playing with her. <\/p>\n

\u2018My mother-in-law asked me if the puppy was for my sister-in-law. I said no that this was my husband\u2019s and my puppy.<\/p>\n

\u2018She held the puppy for a bit and gave her back and all seemed fine.\u2019<\/p>\n

But suffice it to say that soon, all would be pretty far from fine.<\/p>\n

\u2018My sister-in-law started opening her gifts when she finally noticed the puppy in my arms and asked me if mother-in-law had finally let her get a puppy for her 13th birthday,\u2019 the woman wrote. \u2018Before I could even say anything, mother-in-lawsaid \u201cYes.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2018Sister-in-law burst into tears about \u201cfinally\u201d having a puppy and then came over to me and tried to take the puppy. <\/p>\n

\u2018I was in shock at what just happened and kinda just let her take the puppy out of my hands. Eventually, I went over to my mother-in-law and asked her WTF she was thinking.<\/p>\n

\u2018She told me that my sister-in-law had been asking for a puppy for years, and she said \u201cYou don\u2019t mind do you?\u201d I was taken aback, I couldn\u2019t believe my mother-in-law just gave away my puppy without even asking me.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Erm yeah, neither can we.<\/p>\n

The poster had to take her sister-in-law to one side and explain that in fact no, she could not have her new puppy.<\/p>\n

\u2018She started throwing a fit and literally screaming. I just took the puppy back and my husband and I left.<\/p>\n

\u2018When we got back home I was bombarded with texts and phone calls from everyone at the party asking me why I took the puppy away.\u2019<\/p>\n

In a later edit to the post, the woman further clarified that her husband has \u2018100%\u2019 sided with his wife<\/p>\n

She wrote: \u2018Her birthday party was at the river, many people had brought their dogs to the party. I also did not know she had been asking mother-in-law for a puppy, (they have two dogs.) <\/p>\n

\u2018My husband is 100% on my side. We both didn\u2019t want to make a scene about it. He has called his mom and texted his family since the incident, we aren\u2019t communicating to anyone about it right now because it has been overwhelming. <\/p>\n

\u2018He had told his mom about us getting a new puppy multiple times, even invited the family over to our house for dinner, so they could also meet the puppy, but they had a football game to go to.\u2019<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, people in the comments have overwhelmingly sided with the poster on this one.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: \u2018Who just tells someone else they can have someone\u2019s pet. That\u2019s weird, and the kid is 13 and old enough to know she can\u2019t have everything. <\/p>\n

\u2018Your mother-in-law sucks, and I wouldn\u2019t feel bad at all. It\u2019s your dog.\u2019<\/p>\n

Another person commented: \u2018No, it\u2019s not your responsibility to play along with your mother-in-law\u2019s lies. She can get a different puppy for her child.\u2019<\/p>\n

Others suggested she should out her mother-in-law for her bizarre behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u2018Tell everyone who wants to know that your mother-in-law blind-sided you and blatantly lied. Who the hell does something like that?\u2019 asked another commenter.<\/p>\n

Tell EVERYONE that mother-in-law lied. Just tell them all the truth\u2026 you did nothing wrong. Make sure people know it.\u2019<\/p>\n
