My MIL had a small dog which is very needy and jealous and entirely untrained. Every single time she comes over she brings it with her and he makes me very anxious with my 4 month old baby. He's always jumping up or she antagonises him (tail pulling ect) when he's right near the baby and there was an incident where he jumped on top of baby and she thinks nothing of it!
I've asked her not to bring dog over anymore as I am not comfortable with him being around baby but she's taken this personally and is now not speaking to me. When I asked her, she was only a few minutes away and didn't have pup with her but decided not to come after all.
She's told my partner how upset she is about it but I'm really struggling to have any sympathy and can't understand why she can't appreciate my anxieties and see baby without pup? Feel like her dog/her getting her own way is more important to her than her grand daughter.
Personally I feel it's not so much to do with pup but more jealousy that she isn't her sons number 1 anymore / not getting her own way ect.
Shall I just leave her to get on with it?! Whilst she's throwing this strop she's the only one missing out. I just can't get over how self centred she is being and how she can't respect that I'm anxious for babies safety around dog?
