AITA for banning my sisters dog from my house?

Some families have drama about money, holidays, or whose turn it is to host. This one is way messier, because it involves a dog, a ruined rug, and a sister who thinks “no” should come with an apology.

The OP says her sister keeps showing up with a big, hyper dog that knocks things over, jumps on people, and, worst of all, digs its paws into the OP’s rug like it’s training for a demolition derby.

Now the mom is siding with the sister, and OP is wondering if she really went too far.

Original Post

AITA for not letting my sister bring her dog over anymore? My sister has a big, hyper dog that knocks things over and jumps on people.

The last time she brought him to my house, he ruined my rug by digging its paws into it like it was stupid game. Not to mention all the drooling....

I hate dogs in general and my sister knows that. I told her she can come over anytime but the dog can’t.

She got really upset and said if her dog isn’t welcome, neither is she. Now my mom says I’m being too harsh and that I should just deal with it but I think it's crazy to not honor your hosts wishes even when it comes to family.

Aita?

This is like a friend pressuring you to give up the puppy you’ve grown attached to.

The whole mess starts the moment the sister brings the hyper dog over again and it turns the OP’s rug into a clawed-up crime scene.

OP insists the dog can’t come in anymore, but the sister flips it into an “if the dog isn’t welcome, neither am I” ultimatum.

Then mom steps in and calls OP harsh, even though OP is the one dealing with drooling, jumping, and the aftermath on her own floor.

With the sister upset and the family taking sides, OP has to decide whether her house rules matter as much as her mom’s opinion.</p>

At this point, the rug already knows who the problem is.
