Vicious Dog

[Anonymous]

Op here. No idea how MIL feels and am not asking. I was totally polite and only expressed once to MIL that maybe the dog should stay home since it bites and it's no fun for anyone. MIL thrives on drama, so probably she's egging on my unstable SIL. I love dogs and this one is actually cute but it has serious serious problems and should not be around kids or really anyone. I am pretty upbeat about this because now all I have to say is that perhaps we should keep Christmas at home since there is so much dog drama. Yay!!

I am a mom and a dog foster parent. Under NO circumstances would I ever, EVER allow my children around that dog. It's ultimatum time. Either the dog stays away from family gatherings in the future, or you and your kids do.

This sounds like my SIL who left in a huff one Christmas because people weren't loving of her dog. "Love me, love my dog," was her parting comment as she stormed out the door.

I would have been firm and direct.
"Sorry SIL, this dog is too dangerous, we have to leave.
MIL and SIL, please warn us beforehand whether the dog will be there or not, because we can't be in the same house. It would be nice if you could come without the dog, and we might even be willing to try coming if you crate him or shut him up in a safe part of the house. Thank you."

I think the cat in the hat approach should work well for you. So what you have to do is get two bigger dogs that will protect your children from this dog. This will create more drama for your mil(she will love it!) and you do not come off as a dog hater!

Hahaha. Definitely not getting two bigger dogs (even though I love them!), so I guess I will have to celebrate the holidays in my nice house with my kids. Sorry Grandparents, you picked the dog over my kids and I couldn't be happier!

I haven't said anything to this point, but OP your cruelty astounds me. You relish your decision to withhold your children from their in-laws. You demand that MIL force SIL to turn her back on her special needs child. All because you are the "mother".

OP, you disgust me. Your children have learned nothing about defusing conflict. You have taught them nothing about working with creatures with other backgrounds and upbringings. You failed to provide any self-preservation techniques. You have instilled not one iota of compassion in your children.

You have taught your human children that they are special snowflakes, the center of the universe. You're the type of person I encounter when I take my dogs on walks. You think your children own the fenced-in school playground because they are honors students at fill-in-the-blank elementary, and that my children don't matter because they don't read and write. Because my children bark their language and have fur. Fact is, my children, what you call "vicious dogs", are loved far more than you really love your children. Because I expose my children to the world, warts and all, and nurture them through the experience so that they grow resilient and learn how to take care of themselves.

You might want to try that, rather than bully your in-laws and then gloat about it. I feel for your DH being married to you. As discussed in the relationship thread, he's one person for whom an affair is more than justified.

Wow. This is either an epic troll response or PP is totally fucking unhinged.

I'm pretty sure that if she actually had been talking about a child who went around biting people unprovoked, followed by a lack of parental response, the posts would not have been that different.

Dogs are not Children. And if you bring your dogs to the playground I'm calling the police.

I am going to assume that PP is a troll. However, on the off chance that this nut is really serious, I will respond. You, PP, are nuts, crazy, and just plain odd. Dogs are dogs and humans are humans.
