[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who was that person that said you can have it all, just not all at once?
OP, many of us face what you are going through. I have learned to accept that everything won’t be perfect and I’ve had to pick and choose what gets priority and what falls through the cracks. We have a bi-weekly cleaner and a yard service so the house looks minimally decent. But there’s still laundry and dishes and everyday pickup after the kids finish playing. So my home is never going to look Instagram-worthy. That’s fine, I’d rather have the time with the kids. 
I could spend weekends cleaning and organizing but we try to do family activities. I keep meals simple. Until recently we had a huge dog as well.My DH does help but it’s still a lot. [b]We also won’t be getting a new dog anytime soon.[/b] [/quote]

You couldn't just get a dog walker? Who are all these people who buy or adopt dogs and then realize after a few years that they don't want them. You are so irresponsible and selfish. I just can't. There is really a special place in hell for someone like you. [/quote]

+1. You shouldn't get a dog [b]EVER[/b]. If you couldn't handle a dog in two parent dual-income household why would you think you could handle an animal at any point? Animals aren't disposable. It's traumatic for dogs to be ripped from a family and go to a shelter or rescue. They're confused and scared and there is a crisis right now at animal shelters. Many dogs will wait in shelters for years and not get adopted and many dogs at kill shelters will be euthanized. Anyone who pretends to be blind to this reality when they give up a pet is irresponsible. [/quote]
