From the little bit that you wrote, it sounds like there's more going on here than just denying you a pup...but I could be very wrong. It seems your son is being taught the disrespect your DH gives you. That said, I would press him for a valid reason he's not "allowing" you a dog. Your son is 15, you've paid your dues - what the heck? Sorry, but in my house, everyone makes sure mom is happy and respected, and it comes down from my DH. I am far from spoiled, and have worked full time my whole life, including while I raised my kids. I work my tail off for my family and they appreciate me for it...and yes, my DH needed a little prodding before I got Rocco, but after working out the details, he was in agreement. Good luck to you. Let us know what you decide.
