in thinking that just because my dog is big, doesn't mean that he's going to eat my friends baby on sight?

[MrsRhettButler]

hi, i just need some perspective....

i'm doing my friend a favour, (hair and make-up for a wedding) and she refuses to come to my house because i have an american bulldog.
all of my make-up stuff is at my house, i have to cook dinner and a lot to do which would be easier if i didn't have to spend half the afternoon/evening driving to and from her house.

my dog can be put in a cage or in the garden (which i would obviously do before she came) but she is saying that she won't come and her dh won't let the baby into my house!

my dog has never shown signs of being aggressive towards visitors and i have no intention of letting my dog anywhere near her baby

the more i think about it the more pissed off i feel because it seems that she doesn't trust ME

i have agreed to go to her house but now i wish i hadn't as it is putting me out and i feel there is not really a valid reason for her feelings seeing as my dog will be locked out/in

aibu or is she?

i have to go out for most of the evening but will be back later, any opinions would be gratefully received thanks

you are just an unreasonable traffic hater.

I have to agree with stubbornhubby with the child or the dog fact.

And just another perspective, I have always been brought up with pets: dogs in particular. But that didn't stop me having an over-riding (unexplainable) deep mistrust of dogs from the moment my child was born until about 4.5yrs. I had a thought that every dog was a potential threat even though it wasn't. So if you think she is being unreasonable, there may be another factor at work here too? I look back and wonder where that all came from?! A really strong mistrust.

I'll now back away and watch the M25 posh picnic before the Highways Agency or litter picker patrols lynch stubbornhubby.

YANBU at all, if you are willing to lock the dog out while she is there she is being stupid.

Tell her of coarse it wont eat her baby on site, it will sniff it and lick it first

Let her do her own bloody hair and make up, of make her look look like Ronald McDonald
