To make my child pay for dog care?

[PinkLady01]

We have DD aged 23 living with us as well as a DS aged 14 and 2 family dogs. When my daughter moves out the dogs will stay with us, they aren’t her dogs specifically.

When we go away DD looks after the dogs for us, although I do have to pay for dog day care as she’s at work full time and can’t come back during the day. If we go away all together as a family AIBU to ask her to contribute to the dog boarding cost?

My DH didn’t want a dog, so I don’t even ask him to contribute to boarding fees. You can ASK her but no doubt she will laugh at your cheek!!

Why would you think you were right

I don't even understand why you'd think this would be ok?

What did your daughter say when you asked her? Well what did she say after she’d picked herself off the floor after laughing too hard

Yabvvvu. Why on earth would she pay for your dogs?

If you looked after a friends dog for them when they went on holiday, and you went on holiday with them would you expect to pay for their dog care?

no?

Yes, they are your dogs you pay for them!!

Who ever owes the dogs pays for bordering, anything else is strange. Yabu

Curious? It is blatantly obvious!

There must be a massive drip-feed coming, surely.

I agree, waiting on a massive drip feed - otherwise this is batshit crazy

Your friends are right; you were wrong to ask.
