Summer Visit With Relatives
The story
I’m still annoyed with my aunt and uncle from last summer. We went out on a patio to catch up and my uncle rudely took my dog without asking my permission and proceeded to walk my dog in a busy parking lot. Who does that?! I was panicked and fearful for my dog’s life and yet I didn’t do anything. So, yes, I’m mad at myself for not having done anything at the moment. Then, later, I found out that my aunt had asked my mom if I had any friends. This blew my mind and I felt like a huge boundary had been crossed with my uncle taking my dog away from me, having my personality been labelled by my uncle, and then judged again by my aunt. It was too much! I spoke up to both of them with how I didn’t like any of it but never got a true, sincere apology. Now, I just plan to avoid them from now on.

Man, why you trippin' over your uncle walking your dog? It's not a big deal. Dogs love walks, and it's not like he kidnapped your pup, lol.
Honestly, sounds like you're overreacting BIG time (except if we don't have all the elements here). Families are always nosy, and aunts and uncles gotta act like they know everything about you. It's normal, bruh.
When my cousin took my dog once, I just let him, 'cause I knew he meant well. And dogs got instincts, you know? They can dodge cars and stuff—they're street smart like that. Chill out, lol.
Sounds like you're just looking for drama, my friend. You're crazy if you're thinking about cutting family over something this small. 😂

10d agoYep, sometimes family can be overly involved, just being curious or nosy, and it ends up feeling intrusive. "Dogs love walks," and most uncles and aunts certainly don't mean any harm. Of course, it’s essential to express feelings openly, like "sharing your boundaries," but it’s also helpful to keep things in perspective. Cutting off family might be too harsh, but maybe "talk it out" down the road. No need to sweat the small stuff, right? 😉
Nah, I know how I felt in that moment. It was very wrong. They always act above us. And super nosy. I’m just fed up with them because it’s always something over and over again. So don’t tell me I’m over reacting.
And he took my dog out of my own hands while my dog was on my lap. My dog kept looking back at me in fear. It was awful to go through that.
