I'll try and keep short! DD has recently acquired 2 large dogs who are reasonably well trained but (like all dogs, I guess) follow you about in the house every time you appear, sniffing you all over and sticking to you like glue. They are friendly dogs, but I don't like this much. She is early 20s and lives a couple of hours from home.
Asked if they could come home this weekend and we said, of course. But arrived last night, walked and fed dogs this morning then went out to see friends. Was out all morning (without dogs) came back, had lunch and went out for afternoon again (without dogs). DH likes dogs. I'm not that keen. Apart from being needy one of her dogs has ripped up their kitchen lino and chewed various parts of the house when left alone.
DH has gone to work for night. DD still out - I rang and asked when she was coming back and what was happening with dogs - do I need to feed/walk them? She said she was going out for the whole evening and asked if I minded looking after them. I said, I'd rather not to be honest. She has now returned and is packing them up, going to stay with a friend for the night and taking the dogs with her. I've told her I don't want her to feel she can't come home, but neither do I want to feel that I'm forced to babysit her large dogs whilst she is out all weekend. I don't like dogs that much and I'm not feeling brilliant at the moment.
I'm now feeling mean and as though I've made her feel unwelcome - so AIBU to feel like this? Or should I just put up and shut up and deal with these dogs every time DD returns? I obviously want to see her, and obviously want her to be able to come - but feel resentful that I'm forced to accept a situation I didn't sign up for.
