My children have been pestering us to get a dog. I am not a doggie person, in fact I really don't like dogs and don't want one in the house. My dh has told the children that we'll 'think about it' (thanks hon). Of course the children think that this means 'yes' and are already arguing over what the dog is going to be called, who's going to 'own' the dog and so on.
Apart from not liking dogs, I work part time and we head over and back to Ireland regularly to see my parents, as my dad can't travel. I am not willing to compromise on that, so there would be endless hassle trying to find someone to mind the dog or the expense of putting him in kennels. Would it be unreasonable to just say to the kids that we've thought about it and the answer is 'no'.
