[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - yes I spoke to her about the safety. We didn’t realize what the breed was or how old it was initially. When we found it would be a tiny dachshund, I reminded her that there will be kids as young as 1 here…. I told her it’s going to be chaotic with all the kids running around as is, so I wouldn’t suggest letting it roam around. [b]Outside and the basement where they will be is where the kids run around and play. I offered them an upstairs guest room, but they like the privacy of the basement despite it being the main play area for the kids[/b]. We will definitely contain our pets for their safety if things get crazy. I think she has romanticized everything and is treating her dog like it’s a baby. She wants it sleeping in our guest bed to help them bond 😬. [/quote]

You really are letting MIL rule the roost. Tell her she's in the upstairs bedroom on this visit, period. She can enjoy the privacy of the basement on another visit, not this one.

She clearly has totally forgotten how young children (as young as ONE!?) are going to get on Christmas and around a puppy. It's on your DH and you to remember FOR her.

Why are you and your husband twisting yourselves into pretzels over this? Is he a son who just can't say no to her about any aspect of this or anything else? [/quote]
