[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: sounds like a lot of yall have vindictive families. My ILs aren't going to cancel on us if we ask them not to bring the dog. We're giving them 6 weeks notice and they can bring her next time when our household isn't in the midst of a major change.

And yes, we have lots of other people who could come. My parents came for the birth of our first, so now we're letting ILs have a chance to be here for the birth. They want to come and keep telling us how excited they are. They didn't meet their first grandchild for 2 months because of illness, so we wanted them to have this opportunity. I definitely don't think they feel put upon for being there for family.

DH reminded me that our dog was super protective of our son when he was first born which makes me even more sure that we don't want a dog around who is known to try to provoke. Also, the dog was never explicitly invited, she just showed up one time and kept coming whenever they drive rather than fly, which up until now has always been fine.

I consider myself a dog mom, but I also know as a pet parent I need to respect other people's boundaries and never take my dog anywhere without making sure everyone is good with it. [/quote]

You mean dog owner. You didn’t give birth to the dog. [/quote]
