MIL has an XL Bully at her house, AIBU to say baby can never visit while the dog is on the property even if shut in a different room or garden?

Babies can't open doors, but toddlers soon learn to do so, so better to say no you won't ever visit when the dog is there.

Not unreasonable at all, and I say that as an owner of a medium/large (KC registered) breed of dog and three young children. I would not allow my children to go near one and do not understand why anyone would choose to own one. Stand your ground and don't let anyone tell you you're being unreasonable!

Would you be there with the baby? Or would your partner be there?
Is she a responsible dog owner?
