Welp, a lot of us do consider our Yorkies as our own "child", from younger members as young as 18 to senior citizens... And I think many of us probably spoil a Yorkie more than a child. That said, what does her husband (or significant other) do about it? It could be like a "new baby syndrome" where a new member of the family gets all the attention and other children are ignored.
You could gently suggest to her that her other children need her attention and time as well, especially the 2 year old. Or when you go visit her, pay special attention to the 2 year old to "show" your friend that the human baby needs some care as well. Another thing you could possibly do is alert the grandparents, and see if they can help out or something... |
