I ask because
apparently my H’s grandparents are having a conniption fit that we got our dog
before having kids. We got our Lab/Mix, Myka about 6 months ago when she was
3months (so she’s 9 months now). We have been working with her to get her
trained and so far she has been doing great. She is a real sweetheart, very
good at listening. She is a little hyper still but I see her mellowing out a
lot. H and I have decided to start ttc
and are glad that we got our puppy before kids so we had time to devote to
training her.
We saw my IL’s
last weekend and they said his grandparents wouldn’t let up about what a
terrible mistake we’ve made and the dog is going to be jealous/hurt a kid, etc.
I know it’s really none of their business and I shouldn’t let them get to me,
but I can’t help that they have brought up a seed of doubt.
So I guess the point of this post is for you ladies who got dogs before having
kids to reassure me that it will all be okay!
