To rehome my child?

We have 2 dogs 10 and 7.

I came out of the kitchen to find a huge poo on the floor. HUGE and quietly steaming up the tiles. I was about to find a furry behind to place the blame on. After a second I thought 'that is not a dog poo' after a careful step I thought 'the dogs probably wouldn't take their nappy off first'.

My child has flung off his kecks and his underoos in gleeful abandon, squatted one out on the floor and run of giggling like a..er..mad...cackling...thing. If I'm very unlucky he may have peed in the lego box again .

The dogs never void in the house, never chuck dinner on the floor or save peas for Mr Lady who likes them more than me, always do what they're told, wait nicely at the curb, don't kick me in the fanjo or punch me in the boobs when they are on the bed for a cuddle. They're just very much more accomplished at being people than my feral child. They take a bath without complaint and/or ritualistic rubber duck sacrifice. They don't attempt free fall base jumping from the sofa or try and post biscuits through the letter box for 'the pasman'.

I love him dearly, we all do, he's very much part of the family...but things would be very much less stressful if he went somewhere that maybe had a field...or a tazer. AIBU?

We used to think we were quite good at parenting which leads us to believe this one might be a wrong 'un Grin...uh [reallyf'ingtirednon'smiley']

I bet you just got him for Christmas and didn't even think of the consequences!

(Love this thread! Even if it was a zombie. Can't believe there's people with no sense of humor about it!)

Before you consider dumping him in a rescue centre you should always try speaking to the breeder first. They have a responsibility to try to help you and if you are all past help then they should offer to take him back.

Oh hang on....

How did I miss this thread the first time around. I LOVE IT :)

I live on a farm with lots of fields and woods and a pond and cows and sheep and tractors and (yesterday) a big stinky muckspreader.

I also have four tiny terriers. Your (presumably now three-year old) is very welcome to come and run with the pack. He can sleep behind the woodburner with tiniest terrier and spend most of the day pottering around the barns and talking to the campers in the glamping field.

You can then genuinely say 'he went to live on a farm'

Cousin can't afford to keep her DS2 and needs to regime him. He's adorable but his habit of throwing objects down loo is costing a fortune in plumbers' fees. Let me know when you've got a list of rehoming centres.

People this is an OLD THREAD. The feral toddler will have been rehomed by now, and the family will have settled down. Glad to hear the OP was sensible - she has her DDogs to consider. I just hope she wasn't irresponsible enough to take on another human :(

SPBisResisting · 13/09/2013 07:56

ProudAS, if she's desperate tell her to email me. I am fairly bulging at the seams at the moment though
costing me a fortune in fish fingers

If op is still around I would like to know if child was rehomed she's if so where? Could they take my ds and dog as they are as bad as each other. Ds poo'd in middle of floor, dog grabbed it and ran off and ate it! Uuurrrggggggghhh

shakeyjake · 13/09/2013 08:45

SPBisResisting · 13/09/2013 08:45
