After her sister Sasha’s beloved dog passes away, OP reaches out to inquire about the fate of the expensive jogging stroller Sasha used for her pet. With hopes of repurposing it for her family’s use, OP clumsily phrases her request, unintentionally coming across as insensitive to Sasha’s grief. However, Sasha reacts strongly, feeling hurt and insulted by the suggestion, and lashes out at the OP before abruptly ending the conversation. While OP’s intentions may have been rooted in practicality and concern for her family’s needs, Sasha’s reaction underscores the depth of her emotional attachment to her late pet.
So keep scrolling down below to read the whole story narrated by OP, and make sure to read it till the end; otherwise, you won’t be able to connect to the story.
1. OP asks if she’s an A-hole for asking her sister to donate her dog’s jogging stroller to his kids instead of the animal shelter. Let’s dive deeper into this case.

2. OP said that she and her sister are completely different people. The OP told the users that Sasha doesn’t have kids, but she does. Moreover, Sasha got a dog right after graduating college, and OP’s concern was that she treated her dog more like a human as she took the dog on road trips.
3. A year ago, the dog wasn’t doing well health-wise as it had arthritis, so Sasha bought an expensive stroller so the dog could still go on walks with her.
4. Sasha’s dog had died, and she was devastated as the dog was quite close to her. OP felt bad for her sister, but she said he couldn’t stop thinking about that stroller. She needed that for his youngest kid because the baby needed to lose weight.
5. The OP said she and her husband can’t afford to buy the stroller at the moment as she’s a SAHM and the husband is struggling to find his professional calling. As Sasha was always kind towards her nieces and nephews, the OP thought maybe now she doesn’t need that stroller.

6. OP called her sister yesterday and expressed how sorry she was about her dog. Then after that, the OP asked what she was going to do with the stroller, and she replied that she was donating it to the animal shelter for disabled dogs. Listening to this OP, she asked if she could donate it to her kids. Sasha lost her cool listening to this and called the OP vulture.
7. Now OP wants to know whether she’s an A-hole for asking this question; moreover, OP told the user she never had a dog, so she doesn’t truly understand what she is going through now.
8. Well, OP should have understood somehow that she is really grieving and maybe could have asked about the stroller later.
9. This is a point that I agree on.
10. At least, OP, you should have waited for a week. YTA.

11. This could be a solution, but OP does owe her a sincere apology.
12. Do you think the OP was entitled? Let us know in the comments.
13. It is true that the that the OP showed continual judgment on her choice; that’s not something to be disagreed with. YTA.
14. Not even a single person said OP isn’t the A-hole we are looking for, and that is only due to her lack of empathy towards Sasha.
15. Tell me a more logical explanation than this; I’ll wait.

16. Since OP never had dogs, she can’t relate to the situation. After reading this comment, she might be able to relate.
17. This is the main problem that caused this mess. She should have at least given her a week to grieve. The stroller wasn’t going anywhere.
18. What are your thoughts about this response? Would you talk to the OP if you were in this situation?
19. Well, as far as this comment, the OP mentioned above, “I also noticed it was advertised as for pets or kids.”.
20. To be understood is to be more than being loved.
