Really funny relationship wife, husband, family dog.

[Anonymous]

So our friends have this interesting case of family dog situation. Dad, Mom and 2 kids. Kids really wanted a dog, kids don't have friends living nearby, age gap makes hard for them to play together and dog seemed like such an emotional gift. Dad would never let them have the dog. Then after few years mom could not look at the miserable faces and finally convinced the father to get the dog. Convinced is the key word here. He was not happy about this but he agreed. Dog is fantastic, and kids are over the moon happy with it. Then few years into the dog situation he flat out refuses take dog out and it fells on mother's shoulders entirely. He claims it was her idea therefore it is her responsibility. They live in an apartment therefore each dog walking means going out rain or shine. Kids are still too young to take dog out. It is curious case. It is sad to see how it is dividing that family because dad is overall lazy boy who seats in the chair all day, watches TV does not show any interest in kids aside from being forced to help with school when absolutely necessary when kids starting falling behind. It is sad but what is the recourse if any the mother has in this situation.

This is my life, but my husband is like this not just with the dog, but anything else that he can use as punishment when he feels unappreciated.

I call it the "Trump personality". There's a lack of maturity, honor and plenty of fighting below the belt.

So wait. The kids were old enough to insist on the dog but a few years later are still not old enough to take the dog out? So the mom got the dog against her husband's wishes to make toddlers happy? Seriously?

The other issues with the dad are a separate thing.

She wanted the dog; the work of the dog falls on her or the kids. He did not want the dog; the dog is not his responsibility. For those who will then say that he shouldn't have agreed to get the dog you are right. He should have just continued to say no. And she should have divorced him for it or dropped it. She didn't and now she has a dog that she needs to take care of. Maybe in future remember the guideline of having to have two yesses. No meant no.

You don't take into consideration emotional well being of children being entirely abandoned by the father. It is clear and obvious that he can not be bother with children nor a dog that would provide what he is lacking. Taking dog out one time a day would mean some 15 minutes of exercise for a fat lazy faddy daddy, the only thing he would do all day to contribute to the family life. Yeah, rehome, not the dog. Dog clearly provides more comfort and stability to the family then such father who only benefits from hotel like settings, money wise he still is responsible for the kids so why bother?

The dog and the lack of time with children are separate issues.

As hilariously funny as this is, is there a question here?

Husbands like that are losers, and that you're posting about others is highly bizarre.

Are you the OP? I agree with the first PP. She wanted the dog, the work of the dog fall on her or the kids.

If you want to get a dog and your partner does not, you are solely responsible for the pet.

The wife needs to man up to her responsibilities.
