[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the GR poster. Has anyone here not given in to this? I feel like the worst mom. I can't think of a single friend of my kids without a dog. I worry because they have been begging for so long and they're now in HS. DD begging for a puppy. We have said maybe for years now and never pulled trigger. Is this really bad or mean? I do think it will make my kids bond together more and be an awesome shared experience and teach them responsibility but not sure me or DH are cut out for a puppy or an unknown rescue. I'm losing sleep. [/quote] Don’t do it. A dog is a 15 year commitment and they will be out of the house soon, so it’s too late. Tell them no. Firmly so they know the decision is made. Ignore all whining. (And why do they think continuing to ask will work - has it before? Why do you feel bad for saying no to a huge request like this?!)[/quote]
