So i still live with my IL due to the fact that im still young (19, DH 21) and cant financially get a house yet.. I have talked to my OB and talked to the vet about my dog. They both recommend me to keep the dog away for the first three months of baby's life. And then introduce the dog slowly to the baby... Well my dog is a small breed poodle. Ever since i moved into my IL it almost seem like my dog isnt even my dog anymore. My MIL basically took over my dog and now he pays more attention to her than he does to me. It broke my heart but im learning to deal with it. DH has two outside dogs that are a much bigger breed (not sure what kind tho) and we were planning on keeping my poodle with the other two dogs, they get along just fine with each other. My poodle used to be an outside dog too but MIL turned him into an inside dog... Just last night DH and i was discussing about letting the dog spend more time outside so he can get used to the idea of him not being in the house anymore.. MIL heard that and she freaked out badly. She doesn't like the idea because she wants to have the dog inside with her all the time.. I had to basically remind her that THAT dog is still MY dog and i make the decisions for MY dog.. We had a whole discussion about how the dog is still mine and the reasons why me and DH wants him outside with the other dogs for the first three months of the baby's life.. It got to the point were i told her "FINE KEEP THE DOG! And do whatever you want with it" and i followed by "but if the dog stays in the house then im moving back with my parents when the baby is born" DH completely agreed with me and moving with my parents.. And now MIL is super mad at me for wanting to move back with my parents after the baby is born AND super mad at me for wanting my poodle to go outside.. DH is the only child and she is begging him to stay but he wants whats best for the baby and agrees to moving in with my parents.. What do i do? Any advice? I was told to come to this board because y'all give great advice here.. Please no negative comments. Its 1:30 am and cant stop thinking about this ![:(]( ":(")
