According to the post, the woman had asked her mother to dogsit while she was ways away.
Puppy's health at risk
She'd made it clear to her mother that the German Shepherd puppy was unvaccinated and needed careful handling. So, she was stunned when she returned home and discovered her mother had taken the puppy to a public park despite explicit warnings, where he was exposed to other dogs.
The woman's initial concern increased when her mother's phone was off, preventing her from providing updates. Upon discovering her mother's actions, the woman was infuriated and felt that her mother had disregarded basic instructions.
The puppy later fell ill with parvo, a potentially fatal disease. It required intensive veterinary care and extensive house cleaning. The woman's subsequent sharing of the incident with a cousin led to widespread criticism of her mother's actions within the family.
Irresponsible actions
Redditors overwhelmingly sided with the poster, arguing that her mother's actions were irresponsible and a breach of trust. They contended that the context of the puppy's unvaccinated status should have been sufficient to guide her mother's behaviour.
Feeling upset that her mother had neither apologised nor acknowledged what she'd done, the woman blocked her until she offered a sincere apology.
What do you think? Is the poster overreacting, or is she right to be upset by her mother's actions?
