Aibu re 2yo dd and dog?

[ILovePonyo]

I may be, I'm not sure. Will try and put as much info as possible as don't want to drip feed...

Me and 2.6 yo dd are going to stay with my mum soon, my sis and bil are staying there too temporarily whilst they're doing a house up. Their dog lives there too.

When dd was little I had no worries about the dog, I've always liked him. However dd is now older and noisier, plus likes running about a lot, and I've felt uneasy with her and the dog for a while, so much so that I've not visited as much as I would do if sis and dog weren't living with mum.

A while back when we did visit dd was running about and the dog got a bit 'jumpy' and almost went to nip dd, I picked her up and walked out with her but the dog kind of sniffed her as I was holding her and followed me?

So, to get to the point, I'm was going to stay soon but said I wouldn't bring dd as I don't want to be constantly telling her to sit down/be quiet etc. sis has said if i want dog can to go to bil parents (over the road) for the weekend I'm staying. I've said yes please, but Aibu and overreacting a bit?

Fwiw sis and bil seem ok with this but I sometimes get the feeling they think I am being a bit overprotective, however my gut instinct is telling me its the right thing to do.
It's not that I think the dig will attack dd, it's just as much that I have to constantly tell her to stop running/shrieking/etc when really I'd like her to be able to play at her grandmas house?

Thanks :)

I do think you are overreacting personally, however your sister has offered a compromise so this is all a bit of a non issue. You could even give your child a fear of dogs with your attitude, so it is probably for the best.

Funghoul this dog is a rescue too, I agree with you. (Where is your username from?! I'm racking my brain!)

Megsmouse and Lola I see where you're coming from. Dd definitely doesn't have a fear of dogs, she's always asking to stroke random dogs in the park and part of the problem is that she always wants to 'play' with sis's dog. I'm not scared of dogs at all.
However my friend had a lovely staffy who was great with kids and even she said you had to be careful. I think the issue with this dog is that he's sort of gone for dd before, like I described above.

Fun ghoul I just figured it out, you're a MCR fan?

Please excuse my slightly rambling post above, I'm a bit tired :)

I love mcr! Was properly gutted when they split!

Regarding the dog, my brothers is lovely, but he was kept in a garage with four others that was set fire to. He's a greyhound and people are cautious round him just because of his breed, but he is the laziest, most well behaved dog I have ever met. We don't know what might trigger him though, the only thing we do know is he doesn't like the vets and will need sedating in future. None of us are afraid of him or any dogs in particular, but I do think that children need to learn good behaviour towards animals in general. Just because they have a dog at home they can do anything to doesn't mean every dog can be treated that way.

Funghoul just seen your post, I didn't realise mcr had split

Off to visit the family this weekend im sure all will go well... Thanks for responding btw
