Let me preface this with "it's about the dog, but it's not about the dog."
ODD is married and lives on her own. All her friends are here but Son-in-law is military so they live 5 hours away. SIL is in training for the month so DD is in town. She got into town late Friday night and brought her 4 month old puppy with her. That in itself is not an issue, as my family has her dogs littermate.
But here comes the problem...she has been out till at least 1 and as late as 4:30am every night since she has been here. Leaving her dog here with us. Which wouldn't be an issue if he was older but he cries in his crate all night until she gets home. DH gets up for work at 3:30 in the morning and works 24 hour shifts so he has got to get sleep.
I call her and tell her to come home to either get her dog or stay in with him and she pitches a holy fit.
I am telling her today that she either needs to stay in at night or take her puppy with her. I can't be responsible for him anymore when it is affecting DHs sleep.
Luckily my littles sleep through it, but they are currently sick and I dropped a nebulizer machine on my head this morning and had a bleeding head wound so I am not in the most reasonable of moods.
It kind of feels like she is visiting us to get away from responsibility while her DH is gone.
Am I out of line to tell her to take care of her pet?
