Overwhelmed with puppy

[HayP]

We got a puppy 6 weeks ago and moved 2 weeks ago, I have a 13 month old daughter too. My OH wanted to get a dog and went on and on and had the full backing of my teenage boys. They wore me down even though I knew it would be so much work especially with moving and I just didn’t want a dog. I shouldn’t have let them wear me down.
Now it’s all left to me and I’m really struggling! I’m overwhelmed from moving and when everyone is out I’m left to juggle the baby and dog and I’m constantly in tears.
I can deal with the puppy or baby but both together is a nightmare. I can’t relax in my own home and work evenings so I’m shattered. The pup is always knocking to bay over and nipping her.
No one else has that much time for the pup but when I say about finding a home who will give her the attention she deserves I’m the worst mum in the world. I feel it’s unfair for her.! and Also my daughter as she can’t have any toys out as the dog ruins them!
I spend as much time with the pup as I can and I’m really trying but at the moment I’m waking up everyday thinking I don’t want to do this anymore!
I’m taking her puppy training and putting time in and everyone else like her for about 5 mins of coming home then she’s boring.
I’m angry at myself for allowing them to get a dog , one of my teens lives with his dad and the other goes there at weekends so it’s down to me . I’m just not sure what to do?!

Put your foot down and remind OH that the puppy is the responsibility of him and the two teenagers.
Do not let them wriggle out of it.
They need to take pup to classes, do training at home, and entertain pup whilst you care for the baby.
Don't let them off the hook.

Seriously, your OH needs to step up and behave like a bloody adult. He wanted a dog - he has responsibility for the dog. If he can't or won't, then he needs to rehome it ASAP so it has a chance to find a good and settled home at the very beginning of its long life. You've done nothing wrong but he's behaving appallingly.

Tired mum needs to put her foot down. Having a toddler and a puppy at the same time is never recommended for this reason. They took advantage of a tired mum.

Either they step up or the dog goes to a dog rescue to be rehomed - rescues have hundreds of people ready and waiting to rehome a puppy. Won't be hard.

This should NOT be on you. Puppies are nightmares and hard work, if the pup isn't trained now, the issues will just get worse and worse for the whole family.

Yup, he had the pretty picture of you and dc playing together on the rug with the puppy and him standing by watching and smiling happily with the baby cooing and gurgling in his arms ready to go out for a family walk.

Well, back in the real world puppies are not like that.

Get him told that the dog is his responsibility and he and dc need to step up or it’s going to a better home as you don’t have time for a puppy with the baby.

Or better still, you bugger off for the weekend and leave him with both dc and the pup to sort everything. He may then understand how hard it is for you.

An older dog is much better for children, one who is well trained, calm but fun. One who won’t bite and won’t get his ears or tail grabbed by small hands, or his eyes poked. You can’t leave a pup and baby alone together or it’s asking for trouble.
