Woman Wants To Know If He's In The Wrong For Using The "Same Bowl" For Her Daughter's And The Cat's Food
A lot of us have animals or children, and we may have certain types of utensils and bowls that we use for them. There are bowls and plates made for animals, adults, and children.
Imagine a situation: you see someone feeding their child from the same type of bowl that they feed their cat from. Some might feel that this is disgusting or degrading, while others might think that it is nothing to worry about.
This woman thinks it is okay to use the same type of bowl for her cat as for her daughter. Her logic is that the bowl is the perfect size for both of them: the child and the cat.
Her sister-in-law thinks that this whole thing is disgusting and says it puts her daughter and the cat on the same level. I mean... it's just a bowl, though, right?
She says that it's not even the same exact bowl, just the same type of bowl, but he uses separate ones. So she wants to know, is he the asshole for using the same type of bowl for her daughter's food as well as her cat's food?
Let's look deeper into this story and see what people had to say about the situation.
Here Is The Story...
Is She The Asshole?
Wackadoo
It seems that people are taking her side and saying her sister-in-law is overreacting.
It seems that a lot of people are like this woman in the sense that they also use the same type of bowls for their pets, themselves, and their families.
Overreacting...
Even if it were the same exact bowl, if you wash it, then it's fine.
Getting mutual friends involved really was not necessary.
They do have a point; it's just the same kind of bowl. It's not even the same exact bowl, so what is the issue?
This commenter says that soap is good at removing anything that needs to be removed, so there's no issue with using the bowl.
Also, babies are gross and are more than likely to get into something of the cat's anyway, which could be much worse than sharing a bowl.
Why is the sister-in-law using a bowl as a measure of the daughter's worth...
It's. Just. A. Bowl.
As long as it's being washed, it's just a bowl and should not be an issue at all.
Now This Is Our Type Of Logic.
"You're Putting Your Daughter At The Same Level As The Cat."
A Bowl Is A Bowl.
Another person says NTA and that as long as she's washing them, then it's fine.
A Bit Of An Aggressive Approach.
OP Isn't The Only One.
Very true; if you don't trust your dishwasher, then you probably shouldn't be washing anything in it.
"I wouldn't go to someone else's house and say they're disgusting..."
We're Going To Assume That The Sister-In-Law Doesn't Let Her Pets Lick The Plates...
Different Perspective...
This woman definitely has all of Reddit on her side. Even those who said they wouldn't necessarily do that didn't shame her for it.
The majority said she was NTA. I mean, it wasn't even the same bowl, just the same kind of bowl.
Her sister-in-law might be overreacting in this situation. The OP said that her sister-in-law isn't usually like this and they agree on a lot of things, but Reddit was here to tell her that she's not in the wrong.
