... hosting these dogs in my home consistently is really taking a toll on me. I have brought it up as gently as I can, and it has not gone well.
DEAR ANNIE: Let me preface this by saying that I am an animal lover, and I like dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs, but as an adult, I have become more of a cat person. While I enjoy dogs enough, my husband and I have talked about how dog ownership is a lot of responsibility and, at this point in our lives, we choose just to have cats.
His mother watches our children at least weekly and always brings her dogs “because she has to.” She is a wonderful help and truly a fantastic person, but her dogs are a nonnegotiable extension of her when she comes over. This has caused me stress. The older dog smells bad and gets on the furniture, rolls in clean blankets and almost always leaves a “present” for us in the basement. The younger dog eats crayons and has chewed numerous kids’ toys and books.
I do not like feeling this way and I also don’t want to inconvenience these close family members when they come over, but hosting these dogs in my home consistently is really taking a toll on me. I have brought it up as gently as I can, and it has not gone well. I feel like I’m hurting her feelings because I don’t love her dogs as much as she does. Again, it’s very clear that we do not have dogs as pets, so I don’t know why this is surprising to her that I feel like this.
