My horrible day spent with two kids that don't understand " Dont Touch the puppy!"

I have a friend like that and her daughter is very similar. Fortunately, I am very blunt and I sat with her and talked it over. I basically let her know that everyone including myself would cringe when she came over because she would let her daughter do anything and didn't discipline her. People usually would act as if they were leaving just so she would get the hint. I told her I cared for her and we needed to do something.

She was very hurt but I was being honest. She still comes around but now I have her permission to discipline the girl for her. The mom is at her ends wit and the child really does not obey her anymore.

When she enters my house the girl knows I am the boss and no, she is not going to get away with anything. She is the sweetest and most respectful girl in MY house. I don't scream, yell, or hit her. I have been babysitting her now for a while and it is quite a pleasure. At her house, she is something else......but the parents don't do anything about it but scream and she does whatever she wants.

I loved this story. It proves that kids can and will mind when someone takes them in hand. My granddaughter, Brianna, has grown up being around my two Bichons and she has always been very gentle and careful with them. She was taught how to act around them and how to treat them. She has handled guinea pigs, hamsters, a chinchilla, a pet mouse, and she loves my little ferret. She loves all the animals and now at age 10, she has her very own little Yorkie named Samantha Love, and she is the primary care giver for Sammy. Sammy sleeps with her and at only 15 weeks of age, Sammy is pretty much potty trained and goes into her crate when Brianna tells her to. Sammy is definitely Brianna's dog and she is protective of Brianna and minds Brianna better than my son and daughter-in-law. Kids and animals are naturals together. It really bothers me to see kids who aren't kind to animals. It's a sign of much bigger problems.

Thank you.

They need to be taught at an early age indeed.........her parents worry me. I feel so bad because no one wants them to visit.

She is always welcomed to my home but MUST follow my rules. If the mother were to have a problem.........too bad-too sad.

My pets are my children and I expect everyone to treat them like so-more so in MY home.

The lady lives in regret because this girl won't listen to her no matter what. She is far gone already and it's so sad.

I am glad I talked to her though. I could have just alienated her like the rest.....but took a stab at it and was very truthful. She's still around

You did the right thing when you talked to your friend. You're a good friend! She needs to get whatever help she needs to take control of her child. I can't imagine what's going to happen as this child gets older. She can mind, you've proved it and her mother needs to jump in there and take control. My pets are my children, too, and they live here, so anyone visiting has to adjust. My pets are made to mind, but it works both ways. If you don't like dogs, don't plan to spend much time at my house. They are my family and they live here and anyone visiting needs to be aware of that. Their cuddle beds are in my living room and their toys are probably scattered all over. The ferret's big cage sits in my living room. If you spend much time at my house, you will have a dog in your lap and perhaps a little white ferret inspecting the back of your neck as you sit on the couch. My pets are sweet and affectionate and they enjoy company. Anyone considering mistreating one of them will have me to deal with very quickly!!

You have to understand to not Everyone likes dogs.

My kids don't act like that around dogs becuase they have always been around them. The don't act up in public at all.

I took my kids to a friends house that has 100 pound dogs. He let those dogs do whater they wanted. My kids were terrified. Sometimes it is best to put the dogs up. I would have. He wouldn't so we left.

Not everyone likes kids either, but you sure can't mistreat 'em!

I no longer invite one of my best friends of 20 years over to my house anymore because of her two small kids.

When my friend would come over, she would allow for her kids to chase after my Yorkies and the dogs didnt like it so they would bark at the kids. When the kids couldnt catch the dogs then they would start kicking at my dogs while chasing after them. I would ask the kids to stop and of course my friend would say nothing to her kids. Finally, I yelled at her kids to stop chasing and kicking at my dogs and the little girl burst into tears with a big production of how her wittle feelings were hurt because I yelled at her. My friend consoled her little girl and while hugging her she told her daughter in a soothing voice "its Ok baby, it's not your fault" and I looked at her like 'the F it wasn't". I finally said, why dont we all go outside since it such a nice day out. So we all go outside and then the little brat girl goes up to my glass storm door and starts banging on it with both hands. I had to yell at the girl again because her mother wouldnt. I told the little girl to get her hands off my nice clean door because I had just wipped it down that morning and of course the dogs are barking wildly now. Finally the neighbor across the street rescued me, said she needed my help with something and my friend left on that cue. Ever since then, I have never invited her along with her kids over.

I can respect anyone who does not like dogs ,cats or other animals but there is a big difference when you see what they were doing was going to hurt my pet. I'm not a cat person, just don't like cats sorry. My preference are yorkies,maltese and simillar dogs.My neighbor had 2 cats and everytime I visited, I always took time to pet them and they would come and sit near me so I could keep rubbing them
These kids supposably love animals but don't know how to treat them. It was crystal clear that day. It wasn't an animal thing it was a huge discipline problem over everything they did in their home. No meant yes to them and that's exactly what they did. Jumping in the pool with sharp poles and stuff like that was a disaster waiting to happen.
Now I can understand why at their last b-day party ,we were the only guests there.Nobody else came,just us...
Thankfully I don't have to go through that again and my husband totally understands why now. He actually paid attention to what was happening and he was shocked lol
