Kids and dogs are not the same. It's telling that you are including them in the same class.

When it comes to grossness and potential for destruction, they are indeed in the same class.

+100 I love kids and have no problem with people who don't like them. I've known several people like this and they aren't evil to children. PP is so immature.

Except we can’t be allergic to kids, so there’s that.

The whole “allergic to dogs” thing is completely overblown. It’s code for “I just don’t like being around dogs.” Which makes you zero fun.

No. I love dogs. Have two. But I know better than to invite them along as houseguests.

Hate entitled dog owners.

Yet she’s fun enough for the dog people to want to stay at her house…

They know you’re allergic and have a no dog policy in your house, so it’s rude for them to even ask about your pool house. You have no obligation to allow their dog as a guest.

NP. I like dogs, but not in my house. I am also allergic to dogs and have two cats, so I think I have a good excuse to not have dogs over.

The problem is that my in-laws and my parents LOVE their dogs, and they truly do not understand people like me. Oh well.

So what? OP isn’t clamoring for these people to stay with her; they’re inviting themselves.

What are your allergy symptoms and do allergy meds help? Do you sleep in the pool house?

I was waiting for a poster to suggest OP take allergy meds in her own house to appease a guest.

Yup. Board your animal if you want to stay with us. I don’t have a dog bc I do not like dogs. No one is entitled to stay in my house, most especially an animal.

I was going to disagree with you but then I re-read OP and it’s pretty clear you’re right. If it were sincerely allergies the cost/effort of building the pool house wouldn’t matter. Nor that a pet is “so much” to ask when visiting. But if the true concern were dislike:wear & tear from pets? Ah. Now it makes sense.

DP. Even if the wear and tear is the issue, I think that’s fair. I have a dog and can recognize it causes damage to our home. His nails have scratched up our newly refinished hard wood floors (yes we trim them regularly, but there are still marks). He sometimes barfs up food on our rugs, not to mention the fur and dirt tracked in. So we have to deep clean them 2x/year. He’s left brown spots in our grass from peeing. We accept all this because we love him. But I would never expect anyone else to open their home to him regardless of allergies. If they are a major dog lover and offer that would be one thing. But no way would I ever even ask to bring my dog to someone’s brand new pool house.

OP doesn’t need to justify her reasons.

Didn’t need to but did and now she’s stuck because she lied and has to clean it up.

I don’t like dogs. My DH loves them. Thank god he’s allergic! So we have a strict no dogs rule in our house. His parents are the ones who have the hardest time with that.

You're such a jerk. I have a kid with a serious allergy to several animals. It causes asthma attacks. People die from them. You are an uneducated idiot.

PP didn’t say all allergies are fake. Just that OP’s are. Which they are, clearly.
