I have 4 mice one recently contracted a cold like she has done in the past, she's white and seems to pick them up a fair bit. Always pulled back with extra TLC (from me only DP never bothers) anyway she was in her little "mouse hospital" I made getting fluids and food but because I'm ill myself I fell asleep in pain.
When I woke up I asked DP to check on her straight away. She was in the room across the hall, 3yr old DD was in the room next door and he yells "YEAH ITS DEAD".
Cue me being heartbroken and equally fuming because DD didn't need to find out like that and neither did I, surely? He says "well she is dead, so I didn't do anything wrong, you asked if it was ok but it's dead".
These are much loved pets and I think finding out in that manner (when she was doing alright when I last saw her) was cruel AIBU calling him a heartless prick and having no consideration for that fact my DD was listening. How hard to come in the room and say "sorry she's passed away" or something out of earshot
AIBU?
AIBU about DPs sensitivity *trigger death of pet*
