AITA that i am getting a dog that my mum is allergic to?
Am I the asshole for getting a dog that my mum (and sister) are allergic to?
For context, I live in a city far away from them, I do not live at home, but I do come home for one weekend a month.
So here's what happened:
I am a huge dog person. Since I was young, ive always known I want a large dog breed as soon as possible as long as its fair to the dog and I can properly take care of him. I recently got a promotion that has increased my salary substantially. So, I knew I could now finally get a dog of my choice that suits my lifestyle. I live with my longterm partner in a city. My family live about an hour away in the countryside.
My family are very close, and I do go home every month and usually stay for one weekend. My partner doesnt come with me on these visits.
So, now I have announced that I am picking up my puppy in 2 weeks- I have recieved a wrath like no other from from most of my family. The main reason seems to be that they think I do not care about their allergies and that im putting their health at risk. The main reason I feel like thats utter bollocks is because I have said so many times my partner will stay with the dog whilst I go to see them - I am not planning on just turning up with the dog. They still keep going on about how Im not prioritising them.
Am I in the wrong? Am I the asshole?
Ps. Not that im invalidating their allergies, but its also not the type of allergy that they have an epipen for.
