Online Community Raise Eyebrows At A Woman Who Claims She Doesn't Have Time To Bathe Her Flea-Ridden Dogs, But Has Enough Time To Complain On Reddit

Nobody at her home wants to do the work.

Fleas on dogs may not be a reason to panic, but that doesn't mean that dog owners shouldn't address it immediately. Bathing dogs is part of pet maintenance, so owners need to make time for it.

It's either they do it themselves or take their pets to groomers.

Ignoring the presence of fleas in dogs can lead to discomfort and health issues for the pets, as well as the potential spread of fleas to other animals or even humans.

Regular bathing not only helps to remove these pests but also maintains the overall hygiene and well-being of the dogs. Responsible dog ownership includes recognizing and attending to the needs of our furry companions.

In this post, we'll look at the story of a full-time college student who works part-time and has to take care of chores at home. She tells the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) community that her schedule is just tiring.

Her mom and her mom's boyfriend work in retail, and they arrive home tired as well. It's been their habit to drink alcohol until it's time for bed.

Recently, their dogs got terrible fleas. Her parents expect her to bathe the dogs because she's the only one they can rely on.

It's a frustrating situation, especially since her mom and the guy prefer to drink themselves to sleep. Her brother doesn't bother doing anything, and she's busy.

She plans on refusing to do any work at home just to see how her mom would react. With the dog's health at stake, Redditors didn't take the student's side.

The original poster (OP) asks for judgment from an online community.

The OP shares the situation at home with the community.

She's in a very frustrating situation.

The OP doesn't want to do extra work at home since she's already busy with real-life stuff.

The OP's question.

Redditors criticized every family member, including the OP. Instead of making and reading this post, she should've just bathed the dogs.

The dogs don't deserve to be neglected like this.

There are more ways to have a strike, but the dogs shouldn't be involved.

These people don't deserve the poor dogs. They're not being properly taken care of.

If being in this situation sucks a lot for her, then she should consider moving out of this home.

Despite her busy schedule, she has enough time to bathe them. The OP should just do it.

If she'd rather complain than take charge of the dogs, she isn't using her time wisely.

We hope the OP realizes that she just needs to prioritize wisely. As the Redditors have said, she could've taken the time to bathe her dogs instead of complaining on the AITA subreddit and reading people's reaction to her post.

With parents who drink alcohol all the time and a brother who doesn't contribute anything, there's no denying that being in the OP's situation sucks. If she has enough money, she can always move out of this home. We hope that after reading most of the comments, she has finally made time to take care of the dogs properly.
