the great aunt was way off and what she said was rude - no questions about it
... your baby is a DOLL!
but on the other hand, i think you could just visit and leave your baby at home (to help keep the family peace)...this would probably be easier if your BFs mom did not say she wishes you never got leo (very rude IMO) but if you are going to be a guest in someones house (especially ppl who might be future in laws
) you should respect their wishes that they do not want to put their cat away, after all, it is their house and you are an invited guest
this would also be for leos safety...i know if someone wanted to come to my house with a 120lb dog, i would say no and they should respect my wishes...and i would not feel like i should have be required to put my kids in another room for their safety...i hope this is not hurtful but i am just trying to think of a way to keep the peace in the family
