imported_Debbie Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 As some of you know I do Daycare in my home. Well anytime someone comes to the door you know they get the full fledged greeting by my trio of girlz (2 JRT's and 1 Rott/Lab) !! :lol: I would say 99.9% love them. :angel: Well one of my Mom's said they were going to have "Grandma" pick up the Child today after school... no problem.....WELL, I was having one of those days where everything was happening at once; Cable man shows up, phone ringing, Moms picking up kids, ect.... and of course this has got the girlz in quite a frenzy. Well Grandma comes to the door , I open it and of course the 2 Jacks start barking at her (she's never been here before, dogs don't know her).... Well Grandma freaks out and while I'm getting the girlz back into the kitchen she says" I don't like dogs anyway !!" REAL uppity like !! :evil: Well that just about burnt my bottom !! :x I retorted back to her that this was their house and if she didn't like it she could wait outside !! :o ...... She said "Fine !! I will" and went out. :P Do you think I was a bit too harsh ?? Did I go overboard ?? :( Quote
GoldenLuv Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Not at all-- I would have said the same thing! Most people just do not understand that pups are not just some peice of annoying property but and actuall family member , a child. That is like someone going to her house and saying 'I don't like kids'!! Well luck to your next adventure with the horrible Grandma :lol: Quote
courtnek Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 poor Debbie...yea, in a way you did. I understand your frustration, I get easily angered at people who lash out at me or my dogs...but Grandma's are kinda set in their ways...My mom didnt like animals either, and used to make me lock the dogs and cat out of the room when she visited. Just realize that Grandma has never had any pets, and dont expect her to change. And when you get ticked about it, realize that she doesnt know the joy of the love of an animal..it's really HER loss, not yours... and accept her the way she is, as frustrating as it is... :D Quote
imported_Debbie Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 Thanks GoldenLuv for your support ! :D For some strange reason I'll bet Granny won't be picking up again !! :wink: Quote
Black GSD Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Absolutely NOT!! It is YOUR house. She had NO reason to come to your house and be rude. Quote
Taurus and Jada Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 I agree that she has no right to come into YOUR house and sa things like that about your Kids, but I also agree that grama's are usually set in their ways, and there's not much anyone can do about that! Quote
Malamum Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 No I don't think so. If you were in the process of putting the dogs away then there was no need for her to be rude. I probably would have said something similar. Quote
ellieangel Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Not at all Debbie,I don't mind putting the dogs away when people are there but don't complain about them,it's their house more than it is the visitors. Quote
3ofakind Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 No worries Debbie. Its your house and you make the rules, dont worry about what anyone says or feels. Quote
imported_Debbie Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 :oops: Thanks everyone, I was really second guessing myself all night.... My SIL was shocked :o that I said what I did, just because I usually avoid confrontation. She was pleased that I did say it :D !! hehehe I guess the lady just caught me off guard with her nastiness, :x and I just lashed back. I really don't take kindly to people criticizing my "children" :wink: Granted yes.... they could be better behaved, :roll: but they get sooooo excited when someone comes to the door !! And with all the hubbub that was going on I think they were even more amped than usual. It just our bad luck that we happened to have Elvira Gulch :evil: on our doorstep....... :o Quote
