BM, SS18, and the dog.
Let me preface this by saying I'm a huge animal lover. Every dog I've ever owned has been adopted. So recently BM adopted a pit bull puppy. It has beef decided that this is SS18's dog. What that seems to mean is that SS18 brings the dog to our house every other week Thursday to Sunday. I wouldn't mind except the dog isn't house trained and peed on our bed twice last weekend. Now we are having floors refinished so there can't be any stains. I told DH to tell SS no dog this weekend but he didn't respond to text so I am guessing dog will be there.
It's just annoying because I feel like this is a plot by BM not to have to deal with her own dog over those weekends. Pretty sure SS18 won't be taking the dog to college with him. And I paid $150 out of my own pocket for a vet visit when the dog first came to our house. I could tell there was something wrong. Sure enough dog had Giardiasis.

That would not fly in my
That would not fly in my house. I love dogs and I'm fine with them visiting...but if I'm having some remodeling done or decorating done - no dice. There's a reason that we don't have pets right now - so I wouldn't expect to have to take care of one randomly.
Lol at step dog. Hadn't
Lol at step dog. Hadn't thought of it that way. DH won't want to tell SS no, which is a problem. But I have a very valid reason for not wanting the dog this weekend. Crossing my fingers DH will do the right thing.
you have bigger problem on
you have bigger problem on your hands than the dog. why are you afraid of asserting yourself and saying no to your dh? you are setting yourself up to be walked alllll over. nobody's going to stand up for you. don't leave your future up to "crossing your fingers".
I did say no. Now I'm waiting
I did say no. Now I'm waiting to see what DH does. And deciding what I will do if I get home and the dog is there.
tell the skids to stay home
tell the skids to stay home this weekend and take the dog instead!
I was ok with it the first
I was ok with it the first time. I not against the dog in general but want the right to say no on the weekends that aren't convenient and until it gets house trained.
I'm laughing at the thought
I'm laughing at the thought of SD23 wanting to bring one of her cats to our house for her weekend visitation back in the day. Oh, fuck no!
The troll got SD a Chihuahua
The troll got SD a Chihuahua several years ago for her 10th birthday. DH allowed SD to bring this dog to our house. I have two dogs of my own (one is three legged) and they are my babies pretty much. I'm very protective of them. Well, SD arrived with this dog (still a puppy) and it was covered in fleas! Also, the troll hadn't brought the dog to the vet for it's puppy shots. I tried to help SD bath the poor pup to get the fleas off but there were so many and it peed every where. I told DH afterwards that they are no longer allowed to bring any dogs to my house because I don't want them around my dogs if they are covered in fleas and haven't had any shots. The troll tried to sneak the dog out with SD the following skid weekend but DH caught it in time and made the troll take the dog home with her.
Step dog!! LOL BM got a dog
Step dog!! LOL
BM got a dog for the older skid and insisted that he bring the dog with him for visitation. Chance is a sweet dog being "trained" by BM, the woman doesn't parent, she sends the skids to their room to get out of her hair. Seriously, the dog was fine when he came over but SS did nothing with him. I fed him, walked him, let him outside to potty, etc. all the while SS was sitting in his room playing video games. He never once thought about his dog. When they went home I told BM that Chance was a lovely house guest but his boy did nothing for him all weekend, it would be best if Chance stayed at home with her when the boys come over. The going back and forth would only confuse Chance. She agreed but you could see she was disappointed that she wasn't going to be free of taking care of the dog she got to teach her son to be responsible. }:)
