Sometimes it takes someone stepping up and saying what needs to be said in order to make a change.

We're back again today, covering another Reddit post from the AITA thread that we've been covering. We love these AITA thread posts because they have a lot of engagement, and they're usually pretty entertaining. We also enjoy looking into the comments of the post as well to see what people had to say in response.

Ultimately these posts are usually put up to get advice and unbiased opinions on their situation. Sometimes it's best to just ask the internet for their opinion or advice instead of asking your family when there is so much bias.

This situation was the perfect scenario to post on Reddit and get other opinions. In today's post, a man posted on Reddit to see if he was wrong for calling out his brother and SIL on their irresponsibility. He basically told them that they shouldn't try for a baby if they can't take care of their dogs.

Which if you read the full post, you'll understand what happened to the dogs and why his brother might have said something like that. With this being said, if you want to see the full post and also check out some of the comments left down below, then keep on reading as we dive into all the details.

OP starts off explaining his post by telling the story of what happened with this brother and SIL's dog.

Then he says that they got another dog and this one had something going on with it too to where it got sick.

He said that the dog didn't pass away but that clearly something was wrong with it and they were being neglectful.

He said that he went to get the dog to keep it instead, but this is when they said that they wanted to have a baby. To which, OP responded quite negatively because of the prior events that happened with their dog.

It turned out to cause a huge problem and OP says that his whole family thinks he's in the wrong for saying what he said to him.

He really just wants to know if he is TA or if his family is choosing the wrong side. He told the truth that needed to be said so it's not necessarily bad.

This is definitely a huge red flag and somebody (like OP) needed to step in and let them know that it was unacceptable and that they are irresponsible.

This person had so much to say because they had somewhat of a similar situation and they wanted to share what happened.

Some people just don't have the responsibility to take care of another living thing whether that be a pet or a child.

These people just keep getting more but not recognizing that they are the problem and the reason that that these animals aren't surviving.

They gave advice to OP saying that he should talk to his family about it and let him know why he said that.

Realistically, they may not know the extent of what happened with the dog or may not understand the correlation.

It's hard enough for some people to take care of themselves, much less another living thing or another human being.

Well, this was interesting. We really don't blame OP for saying what he said, and it seems like everyone else agrees also.

Somebody needed to call them out on what was going on, and as OP said, they may have saved that baby's life that they were planning to have.
