She called tonight & I didn't take it, I was still so mad but I'm coming around. It may be touchy to say it, but when I do call I'm going to tell her I'm not comfortable with him being here at all until he's old enough to understand he shouldn't deliberately hurt living things esp. I know each child is different but my dd never intentionally hurt an animal at any age.
I'm not going to walk around on egg shells trying to keep tabs on Princess every second in her own house & sadly I don't think I can count on her to enforce any rules regarding her. She knows what Princess means to me. The reason she comes over here is because I don't like to leave her home alone when I could be with her.
As for how she would react if it was a human baby, sadly I don't think the outcome would've been much different. Regarding me not putting Princess up in the first place, it hasn't been an issue with him, ever, and an adult & my teen were in the same room. We were probably 8 feet away in the kitchen. After not ever seeing this, then him casually walking up to her I don't think many people would've been on high alert & expected it. My bff & dd wouldn't stand for any mistreating of her in their presence.
I'll talk to her tomorrow & hopefully get this off my mind.
