What kind of aunt are you?

That's not really fair, especially because you're family, but hopefully you can get a puppy some other way. It's better to be able to get one that has been raised in someone's house, rather than in a pet store or shelter, because you know that they have not been abused or exposed to diseases. Getting one from a breeder can cost a lot of money.

Hi cmecu6! That was really annoying. Your aunt does not stand by her word. I don't like people like that. How could she forget what she said in such a short time! I'm not sure what kind of aunt am I but I love my nieces and nephews although I don't tell them that. I'm more of an action person than a word person. I dote on my little niece and nephew especially. They are just so cute. I even let my little niece use my netbook when she wants to play computer games. And I always bring them something whenever I come home from work. I also take them to the malls sometimes. But no matter how much I dote on them, I also scold them when they do bad things. However, I think they are a little spoiled not just because of me, but also because of the people surrounding them.

Ouch! I would never have done that to any child, let alone a relative. Sounds to me like the money is what maybe swayed her. It doesn't make it right, though. I am a little confused though. She sold 2 of them to her friend which means there should have been 3 still left, right? Or am I missing something here? I don't understand why she can't still give your daughter at least one if not two of the puppies.

That definitely is not nice, especially since she approached you about taking one of the puppies. I'm sorry she had to do that to you and your family. Some people just don't think about their actions before they do them. She probably didn't even consider the fact that your daughter would be excited and that now the excitement turns to disappointment. Good luck. At least she doesn't live close, so you don't have to see her very often.

That's really awful! It would've been one thing if you had been unsure about whether you could actually take one or not, but you said for sure that you wanted it and you both agreed on when you would be there to pick them up. Not to mention the fact that puppies shouldn't leave their mother for a certain time frame, so why would she be in such a rush to get rid of them when they shouldn't be away from their mother for several weeks? But that's not really the issue. It was quite wrong of her to promise you the puppy and then turn around and sell it to someone else. If that was the case she shouldn't have offered you one at all. Especially being family, to do something like that. Then you have to tell your daughter, who I'm sure is beyond excited if she's been wanting a dog, and now you have to tell her that you can't get the dog you were going to use. I'm sorry to hear this has happened to you as I'm sure it's going to be very difficult to tell your daughter. Perhaps it's just best to take her words with a grain of salt from now on? And you might check your local papers. You might be lucky enough to find someone giving away puppies for free.

I think this is more common than you think. I totally understand your discontent about it. I would be very upset as well. I think she should have called to let you know what she was thinking and discuss it with you since you were promised one puppy. It was rude of her. I had one of my aunts do something similiar to my step-mom. She said she could have these barstools, but ended up giving them to someone else when My step-mom was promised them and was going to pay for them. Some ppl are just rude. I think its fine for you to tell her how you feel, but I wouldnt let it ruin your relationship just dont take anything she offers from now on unless you are for sure your getting it.

That is a really awful thing to do! I don't understand how you can promise something to someone like that, and then not fulfill that promise. I just don't understand. I have two nieces, and I wouldn't feel right to do something like that to them. It just feels wrong and thoughtless. I can certainly understand how you feel. I can understand give one of the puppies away, as she was only saving one for you, but she shouldn't have given away the puppy that you were supposed to get.

I am the doting kind of aunt. i thionk i am like this because i never had aunts that were like that except at holidays. i like to have a relationships whith my nieces and nephews that i didnt have but would have been thrilled with.

For me good and nice aunt to my nephew and mostly I want to talked to them good advices.

Hello!The aunt's approach is not satisfactory,her behavior make people angry!This experience I have had,that feeling is not good. I hope you can get you hope the dog. Happy every day!

Now that is quite sad and I hope your kids are okay because I am sure it is quite disappointing. I am a very good aunt, as I am a mother and I could not imagine doing something like that. Though she spoke to you directly, to a sense she had to have known you would let the kids know. I can understand if she only had the one puppy available after giving one away as you only asked for one, but to easily give the one promised to you for the kids is not right.

it was really not mature of your aunt to do this to you. I wonder how your daughter will feel when sje comes to know this :( anyway i dont have a niece bit do have aunts. They're great and always put me and my simbings first in everything. They say we're like their own kids. I love them and they're the bests
