I came downstairs on DDs Birthday to find that Wonder Woman the hamster was dead. Stupid fucking hamster
I didn’t want to upset DD on her birthday so didn’t tell her before I dropped her at school. I doubled checked when I got home in case it had been sleeping, but this was one cold dead stiff hamster and it’s red eyes were all grey, so it was definitely dead.
I didn’t want to ruin her birthday, but I didn’t want a slowly decomposing hamster in the warm living room either. so I popped it into a freezer bag and hid it underneath the frozen veg out of the way. I got her out the next day, defrosted her in the cage and “discovered” her death the next morning. Two days post birthday.
I was telling my friend but she said this was ridiculous over protective parenting.
So, was I unreasonable to freeze the hamster and has anyone else done stuff to save upset as I can’t be the only one, surely!
