I can see naming a pet after a dead relative, but who the f*** names their child after a dead pet?

[@theWs123]

A dead pet that was named while in a relationship with someone else, "who shared custody until the cat died." NO! My child is not being named the same name. They treated the cat like a child of divorce. I would not name my child after my husband's deceased child.

Previous owner of a husky here, yeah they can be stubborn at times, depending on what kind of breed you get since there are husky mixes, I had a Siberian husky but she was quite tame compared to her brother's when we got her, see we had her since she was a puppy. She was relatively easy to train but we only trained her in the house since she would run away if she had the chance.

[@TJDious]

OP2: NTA. Naming a child after a cat is just trashy. So is the husband with that passive aggressive response. And PS no name is bully-proof.

[@bobm5951]

The problem isn't that the name belong to the cat. The problem is that the cat came from his Ex-girlfriend and they had the cat together. So he won't just be thinking about his cat that passed away all the time but his ex-girlfriend as well.

Story number three: Not the jerk at all. OP is totally right to put some distance between herself and her sister's family. While OP may love her niece, it's clear that her sister just wants to dump her daughter off on OP every time she comes to visit because she's worn out from the “joys of parenting.” Just from the descriptions of the unchecked behavior, the coddling and letting her be a mini-me tyrant, they're definitely creating a monster. If she's that demanding and entitled at only four-years-old, I shudder to think what she's going to be like when she's a moody preteen or a rebellious teenager. Ordering three different meals at a restaurant because she didn't want to eat what was previously ordered for her? Crawling around on the floor in a public place and being a nuisance to staff as well as patrons? Hell to the no! That isn't “gentle planning.” It's called having a hands-off, lazy approach to parenting your crotch spawn. I cannot stand people who think rules, boundaries, manners, treating others with respect and everything in between don't apply to them simply because they have kids. Just the mere mention that OP’s niece is addicted to her iPad tells me everything I need to know about her sister's parenting style and little else detail would have been necessary. I'm sure in a few years OP's sister will be wanting to have her daughter evaluated for autism or ADHD or some other neurodivergent disorder because her daughter is disassociative, throwing tantrums and will become impossible to deal with when she doesn't get her way or have that damn iPad in her hands. I'm sure also that OP's sister will wonder “what went wrong” and why her daughter is so difficult to deal with while failing to look in the mirror and realize that she and her husband are the root cause of all their problem. OP's sister and brother-in-law are setting their daughter up for failure. Establishing boundaries, instilling the concept that word no is a complete sentence and teaching accountability i.e. consequences and reprisals to actions doesn't mean that you don't love your children any less. Putting your child on a pedestal and failing to discipline them will only lead to an extremely non well-adjusted adult going out in to the world. The shell shocked and palpable confusion they'll be experiencing when they realize that the rest of the world won't treat them like the deified god that their parents did will be like a slap to the face.

[@lilyflower01]

The mother is literally making the boys hate their sister....

[@TheMetalWeirdo]

I'm certain that OP who is favoring the sister over the twin brothers will one day wonder why 1) the boys isn't talking to her and 2) why she can't see "her" grandbabies

Story #4: It kinda sounds both the OP and her kids are at fault tbh. Like I don't dislike the OP's sentiment of wanting her boys to be kind to their sister. I think she does have a solid point, but man she went way too far in trying to prove that point.

[@TJDious]

Yeah way too far. Demanding this from children under this level of punishment is despicable. OP is raising a golden child and wondering why the boys resent her. And doing this at Christmas is disgusting. Her brothers hate her so much because mom is demanding the boys bow down to her.

[@dobiqwolf]

I think the way the OP treated the boys made them bullying their sister as OP clearly stated that the 2 boys used to do some activities with their sister however she tried to force the twins to include their sister in almost everything they do which is was mistake. The twins being kids wrongly directed their resentment toward their sister and OP stuck with her way instead of adjusting things.

[@SunnyXD-ys7cg]

[@Tubb2581]

Story 4: Your brothers hate u because mommy with held Christmas FROM THEM and used u as the scape goat.

[@QuickManEXE]

Story 1: Lets not forget the 4 grand words of 'Right To Refuse Service' here everyone. Once its that late and people come in acting like this, i would've refused them service/drinks.... would've avoided all of this. If i were the OP, i wouldve kicked them out and got security on them the moment they went behind the bar, you dont ever do that. Also would've kicked them out when he started snapping his fingers. That's just super rude and all bar/restaurant staff that i know and have worked with absolutely hate that. Honestly, after "strike six" i would've called the cops on these idiots. Its pretty clear they only went there to cause trouble. Good thing the manager was on the OPs side after all this. Story 2: I dont think the OP is a jerk here but the husband is being a drama queen. Theres really nothing wrong with the name Zoe here... i was expecting something really bizarre here, but i personally dont see anything wrong with the name. The circumstances around the deceased cat isnt really the fault of the cat or the husband, but i can see why the OP wouldnt want to name their daughter that. Also, absolutely no name is "bully-proof". School kids are jerks and always find a way. Story 3: Ok, this is by no means "gentle parenting". From everything told here, it sounds like "non-existant parenting". Its obvious that the kid is raising the OP's sister, not the other way around. I know i wouldnt want to be around the sister or the niece. If the sister doesn't start any actual parenting.... just imagine how awful and entitled she will be by the time she is a teenager. Story 4: Okay, seriously?? The OP is not a jerk at all here.... some very serious tough love was 100% needed and justified here. Its bad enough that Jon and Jack didn't want much to do with Jane through a lot of this, but then to start being mean and hostile towards here was way out of line and totally uncalled for. The OP is by no means playing favorites here... the boys really need to learn to be better siblings and kids here, and the husband is in the wrong for trying to blame this on the OP, the sons are the ones at fault here. Story 5: Good on the OP for not taking this old farts crap here. Huskies can be stubborn enough, but to not having it on a leash is just asking for the dog to wander off when another dog comes around. Also, claiming that he always talks to strangers like this just goes to show how huge of a jerk he is.

story 4: Oh no! Siblings are acting like normal siblings and then get resentful when their parent forces some specific type of relationship on them! Notice how the mean comments and aggression didn't start until AFTER the parent started trying to interfere? There's a huge difference between brothers and sisters fighting and finding their own way around how they relate to each other and 'bullying'. And OP caused the bullying based on resentment by acting like the boys weren't allowed to have their own lives away from their sister. I get having a talk about not excluding her every single time, but they're literally at the exact ages where children start diverging and finding their own way and getting weird ideas about the opposite sex. And now you're gonna come in and use Jane to punish them and not expect that to ruin the lives of ALL 3 children? Because now the boys are just gonna resent her more and NEVER want anything to do with her and she'll feel guilty that they got punished because of her and not understand why they're so angry when she didn't do anything. Did it not occur to you to help Jane find some friends or something? Like what the actual f OP, you're going to give them all therapy bills for life if you keep it up.

[@tylercanales5794]

Something I wanna point out with the guy and his wife not liking the name. I’m thinking I have to kind of question is maybe this is a name the name Zoey is may be a name he’s had his heart set on for a while. And maybe just a cat just happened to come first then he’s like oh this is a idea for a name since I’ve been wanting to use it for a while. So I think in that scenario, his wife should be more open. like I have this best friend and she’s also my crush. She knows how I feel about her. And we’ve talked about if we got together and there’s two names I have my heart set on kind of for if I have a daughter. And to be honest, I got them from a movie, but my crush said if we ever get together and we have kids, she actually really likes the names.

[@theWs123]

It might have more to do with the dead cat had belonged to the husband and his ex. They named it together. If you like a name and intend to name your child that name, I suggest not naming a pet the same name.

Let’s go chat

[@CrystallizedPaint]

Story 2: hot take but everyone is the a, it’s like naming a child after a relative. But the name is good and has no problems. Sure the cat came from a past relationship but he said the cat was like a daughter to him. He never brought up the ex showing that he has maybe dissociated the cat from the ex. Once again the name is super good and it sounds like that even if the cat wasn’t named Zoey he still would’ve recommended it. But the way the husband is reacting is just not mature so I think everyone is the jerk here.

[@brandonnewby178]

Story 4: Being an only child is one thing, but growing up with siblings and getting constantly left out of everything is incredibly lonely. No parent should want that for their kid, so yeah, she tries to get the brothers to include her. These boys are monsters to their sister. No parent should want that for their kid. So yeah, that alone merits punishment. She's not pitting them against each other, she does entertain the daughter when they won't, I feel like you read the story all wrong and jumped to completely the wrong conclusion, and worse, reacted even more strongly than usual.

[@raybonilla1506]

story 4: not giving the boys Christmas is pretty justified as they were actively bullying their sister. the OP only tried to give her daughter some attention by taking her to do fun activities as she's basically alone the rest of the time. Bad children don't get gifts, that's on them. the narrator brushed off that behavior as "boys will be boys" and that is a huge problem.

[@raybonilla1506]

@Benjamin_noob1234 Yes, but calling her names and bullying her isn't right. That's why they lost their Christmas gifts

[@MarsJenkar]

I don't think the OP of story 4 is 100% the jerk, but I do think their goal of getting the sons to include their sister, while well-meant, was badly misplaced, and led to resentment rather than the inclusion that OP had hoped for. The OP _should_ punish the bullying, as that is _never_ okay, but OP should also abandon their goal of getting the twins to include their sister in what they do all the time, since that is only going to cause more resentment if the OP tries it. OP should also tell the twins they are doing this, and apologize for trying to force a relationship. As others have pointed out, the twins only started their worse behavior after the OP tried to force more inclusion.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

how is op the jerk?

[@Kit_kat_48]

There was no inclusion. The Mother didn’t want her sons to keep being rude to their sister. LITERALLY asked them to at least try, then tried giving them a taste of their own medicine once talking didn’t work. And when they became abusive told them if they don’t apologize they won’t get their gifts. It’s not that they didn’t get their kids gifts, just withholding them until they apologized for their aggressive actions. She did nothing wrong. It is NOT okay to push people or be rude to people like that. Don’t reward bad behavior as it will only get worse. Maybe she should emphasize that they just need to apologize for being abusive to their sister and then get their delayed Christmas presents. My own kids did that at first but I did something similar and now they all get along (minus usual sibling antics). They get too physical aggressive and I take away their privileges until they apologize.

[@MarsJenkar]

@@Kit_kat_48 No inclusion? Maybe I'm misreading things, but it sounds like the boys were occasionally including her before, but after some time of being "reminded" to bring the sister along, they began shutting the sister out completely. It sounds like there _was_ inclusion before, but that stopped _after_ the mother tried to get them to increase it.

All she cares about was how her daughter would feel, completely ignoring the boys' feelings. Now her sons will grow even more resentment towards their sister because of mom's obvious favortism. I think she meant well for her daughter, but she approached it in a very wrong way. Punishing the boys for not being interested in the girl's interests is insane. And don't give me the "tough love" story. You wouldn't like being forced to do something you don't want to do either. Imagine being forced to play sports when you really, REALLY hate that. But if you won't you will be punished, because someone else wants you to do it. It's insane and ridiculous.

The husband and boys were the jerks,it's very obvious since the mom did nothing but punish the kids and protect her daughter from feeling left out,I had a very normal childhood when my mom did this,the boys and the husband were just being too stubborn and always just worsen the situation since talking back to your mom and becoming harsher to your sibling will make it worst for the this is for the husband,i hate this bitch,the husband only took the side of the boys quickly without thinking of the harm that happened to his daughter,the husband had an unreasonable favoritism not the mom,the mom and daughter are innocent and the husband and boys are 100% the jerks,it's only reasonable and you probably didn't think of this,it's my criticism and not anyone else's opinion but my opinion still has reason and very obvious facts,only my opinion but most if not all people would disagree with your answer since the guys in this story didn't even think about actual reasoning and the mom still defending her daughter after all the trauma of being not treated as a family member much except by her mother,the guys need to apologize and treat both of them better before they should even consider apologizing first since the mom did nothing wrong as both of them were nice and the husband also did favoritism that was very unreasonable,Christmas being ruined by a mom who did not give her son's who were bullying the daughter for a very long time,it was very much deserved since the guys did something that was too childish for eleven year olds and eleven year olds should definitely know how a person would feel if your mother is protecting you from you bullies that have been always bullying you for a long time and one of your parents taking the bullies side without taking the facts and reasons fully and immediately took the bullies side,it's very much annoying when people don't even consider the facts and reasons before taking sides, especially when the mom had concrete evidence,the guys being overly dramatic about not getting a gift for bullying their sibling and making her left out for over a year(the kids always made the daughter left out most of the time their entire life as stated in the story) deserve to not get anything special since they did not treat a family member as family and they deserve the same,making the people who caused the pain of the victim feel the same pain is very much a great punishment,your giving them a taste of what they've done,the dad did not even do anything for the victim and only worsen the situation to a reasonable mother especially since your the father,only opinion btw Bonus:this took forever😩😫😣😖,I agree with the punishment for the kids,op4 was not a jerk,just a reasonable mother

Some of these people have way of dealing with things that may or may not be helpful considering the fact that people especially children are their own beings and make choices and have personalities that could react differently to punishments however the punishment comes. I don’t believe in blaming parents for everything wrong with children. I have a son that’s so damn hardheaded and lazy no matter what I do he is stuck as who he is. No amount or redirection and nurturing can change that and believe me I have tried. And Christmas is not something children are entitled to it’s a privilege. So as parents we can take those privileges away.

@@Simon_M. no no I get that, that’s why I said the OP needs to work a bit harder to find common ground with the entire family and such. I’m an older sibling and I don’t like hanging out with my brother all the time which has made me dislike him somewhat since my father always took his side but what I’m saying is that the bullying isn’t ok. Yes the OP shouldn’t reward bad behavior but at the same time she needs to find some other way to get the brothers to get along with the sister somehow which works both ways for the parents and kids. Does that make sense? I’m not good at writing

[@dobiqwolf]

Story 4: OP is the jerk, she is creating a divide between her twins and their sisters. The longer that last the more damage it will do in all 3 live. Story 5: Huskies are notoriously hard to train, so doing it in a park is total nonsense, that guy is full of sh*t.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

actually she has one daughter and he has 2 sons.

Lol

Story 3... OP is kinda a jerk.. as she said; she doesn't have kids...... So she doesn't know how they are.. sometimes it's just easier to cancel plans than having a 4yr old start screaming in public and have to leave anyways. -_- ... Kids don't need tablets/iPad/phones when out that's disgusting that people actually think it's a requirement and "poor planning" to not have one...kids going to act like a kid and if OP wants to be self centered and not take that into consideration that's on OP for visiting and making the choice to handle her niece when the sister isn't....

[@lisamacon-ramirez8171]

The story about the boys, and their sister, she is not the jerk

[@bobm5951]

Yes, she is. The bullying didn't start until after she interfered. From the boys point of view mom is being a jerk to us Because of our sister. And because Mom is Mom they can't be mean towards her, but they can to their sister and then avoid their mother.

[@Someoneschannel2323]

Story 4: i don’t think op’s the jerk. She tried her best to have her daughter included with her brothers, and took her out because she didn’t have anyone else to play with. The boys had their chance and ignored it.

Ahem. I think Story Four is not the jerk. Don’t bully your sister unless you don’t want presents kids. That’s just how it goes. She told them to stop, they didn’t stop, so the natural step was to punish them. Christmas gifts being taken away was just the punishment at the time. They’ll learn, they just need tough love like this.

[@bobm5951]

The bullying didn't start until AFTER their mother interfered and tried to force them to include their sister in Everything. From the boys point of view mom is being a jerk to us because of our sister. Naturally that's going to make them turn against both of them. But since Mom is Mom they can't be mean toward her, they can only be mean to their sister and avoid their mother.

story 2 nah op is the ah like is just a name is not like is a bad name or something if this was the other way around the narrator would call the op a jerk

[@viviennemorgan7217]

which one calling the daughter after the cat or the sons bullying their sister?

[@bobm5951]

The issue isn't that the name belong to the cat. It's that the cat came from his ex-girlfriend and they had it together. He'll be thinking of his cat that passed away all the time as well as his ex-girlfriend.

[@bethmoran6190]

She is not the jerk! Twins are monsters.

[@Cyrus_Nagisa]

she is 100% the jerk, and a bad parent, the twins behavior is 100% caused by the OP forcing them and punishing them when they dont do it.

[@brianrogers7360]

Story 2. You are the jerk. You ruined Christmas. There's just a thing about Christmas. You don't mess with it. Last story. That guy should just stfu.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

story 4 not 2.

[@Squidafiad]

Ok, narrative here is 100% wrong. Honestly what he said is completely rude to that poor daughter. I was in a similar situation as a kid, and doing nothing won't change a thing. Both my older sister and younger brother are very close, but not with me. I because even more depressed when this happened to me. So narrative, you are ignorant and unconciderate of that little girl, who will grow up thinking her brothers hate her. OP is right in this situation, the boys need to learn how to treat their little sister.

[@chloe10704]

But forcing the boys to spend time with the sister is making them resent her and making them wanna spend less time with her op went about it the wrong way she could of tried finding an activity all 3 of them could do or talk to them and find a compromise instead of forcing them
