I too hate uninvited dogs at family get togethers. Fuck their dog and let it tear apart their home instead of yours. ---

> [@sh1bu1](#): > > This whole thread is confusing. What I get so far is that a 13 year old girl dressed up as a Mary Magdalene for Halloween and her Father doesn’t want the nephew to know about it so he’s trying to get uninvited from Xmas by insisting on bringing his dogs. No no no, you’ve got it all wrong - the father wants to have two dogs instead of the OP’s brothers, who he never really cared for anyway. They’re having a strange Christmas party with Asian hookers wearing reindeer sweaters. Sheesh, what would you people do without me? ---

> [@kath94](#): > > Okay, I DO exaggerate. I don’t think she asks permission to wipe her ass. But she does have to ask permission to play her video games, to eat, and **even to speak**. It’s probably more her own insecurity than strictness on the part of her parents. But I have to believe that it’s partly because she’s not allowed to make any of her own decisions. I asked her what she dressed up as for Halloween & she had to ask her mother. :rolleyes: How does she ask permission to speak? Does she mime it? ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > How does she ask permission to speak? Does she mime it? No. She asks. But if she didn’t have permission she gets punished for speaking without it. I’m liking this parenting style. ---

So Brother SUHA doesn’t want you to make hooker jokes in front of his young daughter. This doesn’t strike me as a particularly unreasonable stance and I don’t get why you’re so upset over it, other than as an excuse to ridicule the way he raises his kid, which is frankly none of your damn business. Give your nephew the rug kit when she’s not around. What’s so hard about that? As for the dog issue, tell him you can’t accommodate his dogs or your mother’s cat, and your mother can’t accommodate his dogs or your cat. Be firm but polite. Go the extra mile and research some kennels in your area for him so he can have them nearby if he wants to. If he tries to give you a guilt trip, don’t bite. Jeez. None of this is as complicated as you’re making it out to be. Grow up. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-you-brother-this-is-not-all-about-you/562095.md?page=2)
