[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here with an update! I sent photos of our Christmas, including one of the kids with the dog. A really lovely, sweet, picture. Now I just have to concoct a story of how we just got this dog before the inevitable phone call tomorrow. [/quote] No stories! “You have a dog?” “Yeah, we got her a couple years ago. I haven’t told you because I was afraid of judgment, but we are all really happy. How was your holiday?”[/quote] This is perfect. Do not lie, OP. You have caused stress for yourself by hiding this dog from them, but you have done nothing wrong except made your own life more stressful. But lying about the dog would be wrong. A few simple lines to practice: [Mom starts harangue about how awful the dog is going to be] You: we’ve had him for a year now and he has brought a lot of joy and laughter to our home. [/quote]
