Am I wrong for leaving my sister's birthday lunch to pet some dogs?
Why were the dogs so important?
They are so cute and I wanted to pay them a visit.
Although dogs are definitely cute and fun to pet, leaving your sibling's birthday party early will potentially make them feel upset. The dogs will always be there to visit, but your sibling's birthday is only one day a year. You should spend time with them.
I've had enough of hearing about my sister's birthday, so I'm going to go pet dogs now.
It's important to show your sister respect during her birthday lunch and enjoy the time with her. This will prevent her from feeling some type of resentment towards you.
