It's never going to stop-being the outsider, never asked about anything

Thanksgiving SD17 & SD14 brought H's dog (who is also SD14's dog) to my house w/them. I was TOLD the ex wanted a break from caring for the dog, so they wanted to leave him here until H was home again. So H came home 10 days later-they still didn't want the dog back.

SD14 calls today to tell me tomorrow is the dogs b.d. Then H called-could I run some money over to SD14 (30 miles away) so she can buy a game she's been saving up for. So I asked him if I should take the dog back when I go over.

His response? Oh, we're keeping the dog all winter. Excuse me? My house. H is here only 4 days out of two weeks-and NEVER SAID A WORD ABOUT THIS TO ME. Evidently, he and his ex decided on this-again, without me even being considered a person here-nope, I'm a nothing. A nothing but a maid, a cook, and a free house for h & the leeches.

I don't mind the dog=he's company for MAX, and sweet, but, he poops & pees in the house. I've shampooed carpets so many times in the last two weeks it's ridiculous. And he's a terrier, so he's very stubbon and teaching him to go outside is nearly impossibe at 6 yrs of age. I've had a lot of dogs in my life, and never had this issue.

I'm just so pissed that again, I wasn't consulted. Even tho I'm the one who has to care for, clean up after, provide a home for what was H's & SD14's dog.

Fed. Up.

I called H and told him how it was so nice of no one to even let me know about the dog situation. He claimed he didn't know anything about it-that's just what the girls said. And said oh, your so deprived (sarcasm) when I said I'm tired of being the outsider.

So I called SD14 to ask about the dog situation. She knew nothing about it! It was SD17. That bitch. I'm gonna have a showdown with her when she gets off work tonite. She's the one who made the snoty comment to me about the money being H's-well, guess what-the house is MINE. That little witch and I are gonna have it out.

Why do you need a show down... just tell her to get the effing dog out of YOUR house or your taking it to the pound.

...what happens! I hope you send both SD17 and her dog packing. Or just SD17 and keep the dog. This dog situation is inexcusable. Now you're a kennel too?

Good luck. Let her have it.

Dog peeing and pooping on your carpets? No no no...if your H isn't there to clean up after it, sorry but the dog goes back PERIOD end of story.

DISNEY LIED...THERE IS NO 'HAPPILY EVER AFTER'

deal with a whole kennel full of canines than 2 SD's! LOL!!!
Bewitched, I know how frustrating it is when DH doesn't or refuses to discuss matters such as something as important as basically adding another "member" to the family for you to have to deal with - how inconsiderate! It sounds like just another way for your SD to try to piss you off and unfortunately, daddy dearest is right behind her. Good luck to you - just remember the poor dog can't help what the idiot SD & DH do. As an animal lover, I know I'd much rather deal with the dog than the spoiled kid, (and the clueless DH)but it's still not right to dump another responsibility in your lap...

My DH has a dog that he loved for years with his x wife. When he left he left the dog there because the kids loved the dog more than him! So he didn't want to take doggy away from kiddies. Somehow doggy used to get out of the gate, at around midnight, every weekend. Weird how that happend. Then DH would be expected to get up and go looking for doggy. Finally I had a freaking fit over the freaking dog. Guess what....if doggy goes missing now to freaking bad. Also, beast bitch used to tell DH how doggy misses him and needs to take him to my house so that he can wash and dry, and cut his hair, and nails and fix him up. Then of course take the manicured doggy back home to beast bitch. That only lasted for about a month before I had that dying duck fit. Well that dying duck did it.

I suggest that your duck dies.

My DH also has a dog he took primary care of when he was with BM. He still offers to take the dog to the vet, buys it's medicine since it's dying of cancer now, goes out to visit the dog (rarely). A couple of times he took it to get it groomed. Of course, he pays each time he does something for the dog too. Ugh, where does it all end?

she won't answer the phone.

So I'll just deal with her at Christmas-not wasting anymore time on that brat.

As for the-it's not the poor things fault. I just let him out constantly (too cold here for a short-haired dog, or he'd be out all day). And keep the shampooer handy.

Its the same issue with a different face, tho. The issue of never being asked. Or consulted. Or being treated like anything other than a made and, if H is in a foul mood, his scapegoat.

Who has the quote that goes "The defination of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for different results?" I am indeed insane.

Like the comments before her and the dog would be packing before you could finish the Happy Birthday song!!!

BM told my H that the dog they had with the kids she was putting to sleep because she was moving and couldn't have dog....the kids even said it as well..........

Surprise!! Dog is alive! I knocked on the door to get the kids a month or so ago....and the dog came running out barking...........I was hoping to get bit to sue her ass!!

I think it is all on your H. He should have consulted you, BM and SD should have kept there own dog, yes. BM and SD dont bother to consult you becuz they figure that it is your H job--which it is. It was your H who burned you by not talking with you first. I have this problem w/ my H often enough. He seems to back me up a lot but sometimes fails to mention/ASK certain things.

but can't now, as his BOSS is his roommate (you should hear him bitch about living w/his boss-who is also his cousins H :smile:).

I'd actually been making alot of headway with getting the dog to
do his thing outside-but had to take him to SD14 today, until Christmas, when she plans on bringing him back.

I could crate the little guy, but he'd whine the whole day...and really, he's not the true issue. The true issue is again, not being consulted-when I'm the one affected.

You'd think I'd get used to it-but I never will. I never will accept H & SD17's attitude that I don't count. Never. It may take me awhile to get back on my own, but once I do, H'll see exactly how very much I do count.

When I took sd 14 the money, I would have dropped the dog off anyway. Want the money, then open the door and take that damn dog back. IF H has the nerve to say something to you.. say, oh sorry.. Its my house, I wasnt not consulted and since you didnt feel the need to consult me, I didnt feel the need to consult you on my decision to get that dog back to its RIGHTFUL owner. END OF STORY!
