Mothers chihuahua ate half of my babies grape

Just as the title states.. I took my boys 1 and 3 years old to my mothers. She never makes the effort to visit us i see her every other week. She lives with my two other older siblings and my dad. Last year they've bought another chihuahua that is just crazy. They don't train it it bites my children and now my baby is crawling it bites his face and is vicious, it steals food and items and growls when I try and get them. They don't do anything to help just idolise this dog. They have about a 2 metre crate for it, which I have to put it in when it gets vicious with my children.
I went because my eldest loves my older sister who lives there and loves seeing her. I was feeding my one year old downstairs whilst the dog was upstairs. I didn't realise the dog ran down and at the same time my baby threw one half of a grape then another one and the dog ran and ate them up. My sister and mum started screaming and rang the vet who said they must rush her down. All the while so hostile and angry at me when I said I didn't realise and im sorry. I know dogs cant eat grapes but I have a baby and toddler and thought the dog was upstairs. It's hard to manage in basically a glass house with so many ornaments and crap everywhere. It's the opposite of baby proof which I don't expect it to be but she doesn't even help me one bit when I come round. My mum only has interest in her new dog not her grandchildren. She has now sent me the receipt for £105 she's had to pay to make the dog be sick at the vets. I am not paying it and for one don't have that money. AiBu?

you asked a poster a question
I speculated an answer

🤷‍♀️

Is this a proclamation you are male- as I
not?

I've seen this @returnofjude account comment in similar sarcastic and derisive ways on different posts. They're clearly a sad individual with nothing better to do when people are trying to get advice or ask questions.

To put it bluntly, most men who post on mumsnet are twats.

The end.

Ah that amazing humour of yours, keep it up young man.

I don’t assume you’re a man because of your pathetic ‘everyone agrees with me’ responses, or that you try to use humour to deflect from your lack of confidence or your use of sock accounts, I can just tell by your tone.

Why would your clearly negative assumption on my character here - make me a male?! Nice bit of casual sexism
there! You’re wrong- unsurprisingly- I am also not a Chihuahua- if that’s your next guess.

FGS. They're an incredibly misunderstood and often mistreated breed. First of all many of them have been irresponsibly bred to be in pain and not able to breathe or smell properly. Then they get bought by people like the OP's mum who don't treat them like dogs, and small dogs at that.

If you look at the world from a chihuahua's point of view, EVERYBODY is a giant compared to you, and that's often TERRIFYING, particularly when you haven't been socialised and introduced to things properly. Children and babies are often scary to any dog (and particularly small dogs) because not only are they the "wrong" size for humans they don't behave like all of the other humans, and they don't listen to your body language at all. Add in that chihuahuas are often not allowed to exhibit normal dog behaviour, not trained, and treated as if they have zero bodily autonomy; you'd be grumpy too. When being quite clearly terrified doesn't work, they resort to defensive aggression, which is how they get their reputation for being "dickhead dogs". They're usually not, they've just been genetically and mentally fucked up by humans.

‘All here’? You really can’t speak for yourself can you, you have to bring other people and all those reactions you’ve received, into your responses. Hope you can find some confidence soon, you sad little man (it’s pretty obvious).

Your mum has dogs that bite your kids and YOU GO AND TAKE THEM BACK?

mate, you’re a headline waiting to happen. Don’t be daft, you want to see your sister, meet her outside the house.

Just in case it needs to be said I was joking 😂

The baby is unreasonable? 😄😄😄

The poor baby

@AcquadiP
The dog does bite yes. It nips all the time. It has since they got it and has drew blood on myself before and all the family that live there. It has nipped my baby on the face recently and left no mark I should've made that clearer but I didn't know biting meant piercing the skin, which it didn't that time thank God. Since then when baby is cruising or playing with his toy on the carpet, I always put the dog in the crate. This particular incident happened when the dog was upstairs with my mother whilst she was getting ready and I was feeding him in his high chair.
I think the dog is vicious. I had a previous chihuahua and it was never like that it can be playful with my eldest sometimes but I won't take that chance now. It clearly has so much energy but they don't take it out or even rarely let it go in the garden. It's when it gets something in it's mouth it's vicious or if it thinks you're playing it can sometimes really sink it's teeth in. They won't train it, the issue is never with them or their dog it seems.

Here we go….
