[quote=Anonymous]My MIL and FIL have an old, obnoxious dog whom they foist off on the children during their many trips and vacations.  This dog is a straight up menace to society - a little yapper who barks at everything and pisses all over my house.  He has LITERALLY pissed on every carpet in my house, on an expensive upholstered chair, and on my curtains.  Every minute of the day is punctuated by his incessant whining or barking.  He refuses to shit anywhere but my deck, unless I personally walk him down to go out of our walkout basement every time he needs to go out (which is frequent).  When he does go out into the yard, he barks nonstop and refuses to come inside.  I am at my wits end.  We have told them before that his behavior at our house is atrocious and that he is notorious amongst our neighbors for his constant barking. We are now entering week of three of six watching this little fucker while they snowbird in Florida.  DH's other siblings have refused to take him - he bit a kid in one family and the other just flat out refused.  (I did tell MIL unequivocally that if he bites my kid he will go straight to the pound.)  DH feels beholden b/c we stayed with his parents for six weeks after we moved back home.  During that time we bought food, cooked, cleaned and contributed to the household.  This dog has stayed at my house 5 or 6 times since then and I think we've paid our debt.

I told DH that I will never again watch this dog and that if his parents cannot take him with them than they can pay to board him.  As it is I have to have every carpet in my house shampooed, my chair cleaned, etc.  He thinks I am being ridiculous but I think he is being a doormat and dragging us along with him.  If the dog were trained and well behaved that would be one thing.  I am all for helping family.  But IMO this is fucking ridiculous and we are being taken advantage of.  Am I even remotely in the wrong here?    [/quote]
