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.

Did you pay zero attention to the previous posts? Do you plan to read the posts that follow this one? Do what a poster above says and tell your mom you've had the dog a while. Then do what a couple of us also said and find a therapist.

Do not "concoct a story." Stop that immaturity. You own the dog, now it's time to own your choices and stop catering to mom's critical ways by bending yourself into a pretzel to lie to her.

I've said it above but here goes again: Are you going to keep concocting stories for mom when the stakes are MUCH higher than a dog? Do you plan to lie to her the rest of your life and create stories when you fear she'll object to something one of your kids does? Adults don't act this way, OP. For your kids' sake stop the concocting and get help for your fear of mom's disapproval.[/quote]
