My parents have a Great Dane and a St Bernard. Huge dogs. GD can be boisterous and jumps around a lot. SB is more chilled out but when scared will lunge into your lap (he gets scared of silly things too like the tv turning the volume up a bit). My dd has arrived early, she is now a week old! Her due date was 20th December.
Oldest twins are 15. Then I have a 5yr old and a 3yr old. Dogs are very good around 3yr old and 5yr old. All children adore the dogs. But, neither dog was fully grown when my youngest two were little so I was never worried about the baby with them. But, I am terrified of having baby around dogs. Here's my AIBU- parents are going on holiday for fourweeks and wanted to leave dogs with me. I agreed to keep them for the first two weeks and then sister could have them for the next two weeks as I would have had baby girl by then or be in process of evicting baby. But, I am worried about having the dogs around our daughter now.
DH agrees with me but is worried about where the dogs will go.
DM told me I was being ridiculous and they wouldn't hurt a fly.
DF said in a very grave voice that it would be a problem and sister called me an overprotective idiot.
